Jimmy Russell (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.) writes a Broadway gossip column for the New York Globe and Sally Condon (Ann Dvorak) is his Girl Friday. He pursues Broadway It Girl Mary Wodehouse (Frances Dee) who is in terrible debt problem. That's before her debts are taken by dangerous gangster Eddie Shaw.
This is a crime newspaper drama with a sprinkling of comedy slap-dashed on top of it. I wanted more Ann Dvorak. I'm not really sold on Jimmy and Mary. She's more trouble than she's worth. I like the newspaper and gangster stuff but the comedy seems out of place. It's a bumpy ride and a marginal film.
