They get a better script! That's probably because the poverty row studios always produced B films which were A in their budget, so they didn't take for granted that nobody wouldn't really notice. Here, it's Heather Angel and Roger Pryor starring, never on the level of Davis or Gable, but dependable actors never the less. This is a newspaper drama filled with comic dialog, real characters and a view of high society that gives it a touch of class...no class that is.
This is a murder story of a notorious crime figure where aging flat foot Ford Sterling let the killer get away (finding a cab for him) and witness Angel on the run when she becomes a suspect. In typical "It Happened One Night" style, she ends up being assisted by wisecracking reporter Pryor who aids her and bumbling Sterling in bringing the murderer to justice. This is pretty decent second feature which resolves itself in no time at all at breakneck speed.
