Synopsis
Newspaper publisher and United States Senator Grayson asks his chief reporter, George Meredith, to conduct a survey of the effects of prohibition before he votes on the 18th Amendment. He is motivated in part by the fact that his automobile has nearly collided with one driven by his managing editor, Patton, obviously intoxicated. Believing that the survey will favorably affect passage of the bill, lobbyists against prohibition approach Patton, owner of a large bootlegging interest, and reveal their plan to bribe Grayson. Anticipating an illegal offer when the lobbyists make an appointment to see him, the senator installs a dictograph in his office and records the conversation. Through the efforts of Meredith and Madeline, Grayson's daughter, the bribery offer and the results of the survey are published simultaneously; Patton is fired, and Meredith becomes Grayson's son-in-law.
