[edit] Plot Summary
Reporter Jean Christy (Russell) works for a newspaper in danger of being thrown away by its young owner, Pat Buckley (Knowles), after Buckley has a falling-out with the Editor-in-chief, Robert Lansford (Flynn). Meanwhile, Lansford hopes to gain tycoon John Dillingwell's (Connolly) business for his PR firm, and uses his position at Buckley's paper to drum up good press for Dillingwell. In the process, he discovers that Dillinger's daughter Lorri (de Havilland) is Buckley's fiancee. Lansford decides to try to charm Lorri while Christy makes a play for Buckley. At the end, Lansford ends up not with Lorri, but with Jean.
