A newspaper editor and his ace reporter battle each other while fighting civic corruption in Chicago. Fast-paced, sparkling dialogue and performances by the entire cast make this a truly classic movie with a great deal of comedy and charm.
O'Brien's film debut is one of several hilarious performances in this breathless pursuit of an exclusive story with an escaped inmate from death row.
