Synopsis

A newspaper editor sends Anna Lou Anderson, a recent journalism graduate, to assist star reporter Nosey Norton when Norton, assigned to a double murder case, fails to come up with anything. Nosey has a hunch that the two brokers shot each other or were killed because of a woman, and he believes that office manager Parker is somehow implicated. Nosey's half sister, Alice Adair, offers to give him a large sum of money if he will take Anna Lou and get out of town. Nosey refuses the money, and Anna Lou is kidnaped. Believing that Alice and Parker kidnaped her to persuade Nosey to accept the money, Nosey visits Parker's apartment, arriving in time to prevent Anna from swallowing a drugged drink. Anna Lou tells him that after Kernell, one of the brokers, killed his partner, Randall, Parker killed Kernell. Parker and Alice get a prison term, while Nosey and Anna Lou get a paid honeymoon.
