Synopsis
Kent Carter, Director of Public Relations at Premiere Pictures, refuses to give his secretary, Linda Warren, a screen test because he wants to marry her and doesn't want a working wife. To make him jealous, she tells him she had dinner with actor Rex Marchbanks. Kent is not fond of Rex in any case, so when Rex asks Kent to take care of his wife, who is suing him for non-support, Kent turns him in to the authorities. In return, Rex has Kent fired. Linda begs Kent to apologize, but he intends to use his inside knowledge of Hollywood to make money in a different way. He offers to provide radio gossip commentator, Mel Winter, with real scandals, but Winter is afraid to broadcast such damaging information. Then one day when Winter is too drunk to broadcast, the sponsor hires Kent. Kent uses the opportunity to attack Rex whenever possible. In retaliation, Rex asks gangster Steve Moran to throw a scare into Kent. Moran sends one of his men, Slugs Dana, to threaten Kent, but Kent distracts him with tickets to the preview of a movie starring Slugs's favorite actress. Kent secretly arranges an audition for Linda, and she repays him by refusing to be involved with him as long as he broadcasts scandals in Hollywood. When Kent doesn't stop riding Rex, Moran and one of his men attack him, but Kent refuses to tell the police who beat him because he wants to announce it on the air. Kent learns from Slugs that Moran killed a man during a robbery. He then breaks the story that Moran and Marchbanks are brothers. Moran breaks into the radio station intending to kill Kent, but the police shoot him first. Having learned that he was responsible for her singing career, Linda reconciles with Kent, who agrees to change his profession.
