Bill\u0027s boss, publisher J. C., and his assistant, Mack MacCallum, want to use strong-arm tactics to regain readership lost to the Star. At the Star, Bill hires prizefighters to stop Mack\u0027s hoodlums from attacking the paper\u0027s newsboys. But Bill receives word from Brenda Johnson, J. C.\u0027s secretary, who is falling in love with Bill, that J. C. is planning a new scheme with Mack. Newsboy Mickey Karnes is attacked by Mack\u0027s men, but when Bill helps him, a photographer takes a picture that makes Bill appear to be the boy\u0027s assailant. Despite the district attorney\u0027s belief in his innocence, Bill is prosecuted. Bill launches his own investigation and locates a truck driver who tells him about a crooked deal J. C. made with the man\u0027s former employer, a construction firm. Bill confronts J. C., and as J. C. admits his complicity, Brenda holds her phone to the office speaker and Star reporter Jimmy transcribes the conversation. Mack arrives and after knocking Bill unconscious, he and his men leave to destroy the Star \u0027s presses. Bill regains consciousness and waylays Mack until the police arrive. J. C. and Mack are taken to prison, and Bill wins Brenda\u0027s hand in marriage.","wins":0,"nominations":0,"casts":[{"name":"Jack La Rue","code":"nm0479011","characters":"Bill Jeffrey"},{"name":"Virginia Pine","code":"nm0683992","characters":"Brenda Johnson"},{"name":"Monte Blue","code":"nm0089524","characters":null},{"name":"Fuzzy Knight","code":"nm0460906","characters":null},{"name":"Fred Kelsey","code":"nm0447043","characters":null},{"name":"Edward Hearn","code":"nm0372487","characters":null},{"name":"James C.
