- Synopsis
- Cub reporter Clem Rogers is rescued from writing weather reports when word comes that the district attorney has been murdered, and he is assigned to cover the story because he is the only reporter present in the newsroom. In his excitement, Clem loses his press credentials, and consequently is barred by the police from entering the dead man's house. In search of another entrance, Clem goes to the back of the house, where he sees a girl climbing out the window. As he watches her drive away, Clem meets Van, who identifies her as Jane Atwill, the daughter of the reform candidate for mayor. Clem's scoop tarnishes Atwill's good name and results in Jane's arrest.
