Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Cup reporter Ralph Tanner (George O'Hara) hopes to make a name for himself by writing a searing exposé of a local political boss. Unfortunately, Ralph loses his exclusive story before he's able to submit it to his editor. Fearing a libel suit, Ralph spends the rest of the picture trying to track down the story and to make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. One slapstick disaster after another befalls our poor hero before he is able to prove his allegations against the villain. Hard to believe that director Del Andrews would later be one of the screenwriters for the Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front.
