The adventures of a wayward newsreel cameraman.

Roguish, cynical newsreel cameraman Bill Allen usually has a dame in one hand and a hip flask in the other, yet catches breaking stories and disasters of all sorts on film. When he meets newspaper columnist Jane Mallory, mutual attraction results; but she's too smart to fall for him (or is she?) unless he reforms (but does she really want him to?). Includes exciting stock footage of fire, flood and earthquake.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>

Newsreel photographer Bill Allen (William Gargan) is married to his job but in love with newspaper reporter Jane Malloy (Francis Dee). She yearns for romance and a more stable life and inclines to reliable Hal Caldwell (Ralph Bellamy) for a time. But a confrontation with gangster Ricci (Jack Larue) and his henchmen, which threatens the lives of all three, convinces Jane that the reckless headline-shooter is the man for her.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
