Chicago's reporter Hildy Johnson (Pat O’Brien) wants to quit newspaper
work and get married, but his editor, Walter Burns (Adolphe Menjou), is
determined to keep him on the job. The court pressroom is full of lame
reporters, all waiting to cover the hanging of Earl Williams. When Williams
escapes custody, Hildy seizes the opportunity and bribes an insider to get the
scoop on the escape. Can he keep Williams' whereabouts secret long enough to
get the scoop, especially with the Sheriff and other reporters hovering around?
