Gable plays Jim Branch, managing editor of the New York News-Record, hot on the trail of a high-society murderer. Since jim spends more time chasing scoops than perusing the Social Register, he relies on the snooty society dame (Constance Bennett) he once fired from the paper to give him entree into the haut monde. Naturally, they can't stand each other. Naturally, they risk their necks to unmask the killer. And naturally, they fall in love. (official distributor synopsis)
