Storyline
| Plot Summary |
SPOILER: Reporter Curt Devlin loves sob sister Ellen Garfield but believes women are "bum newspapermen". When she learns the identity of a murdered arsonist, he calls it luck. When she goes after the murderer he gets enough evidence to have Maitland Coulter arrested. She finds a bunch of "not guilty" ballots and publishes the wrong story; he eavesdrops on the jury and gets the correct verdict. After being fired she gets a confession from the real killer and gets Coulter released.

| Trivia | One of eleven films Bette Davis starred in with George Brent. See more » |
| Goofs | When Robert closes the French doors of the brightly lit and gated elevator at the 48 Kingston building, you could see the silhouette of the gates being shut and also as the elevator begins its ascent. But as the elevator is shown passing each floor, the gates are no longer seen. Additionally, when the elevator stops, the doors open immediately and Robert quickly exists the elevator without any signs of him pulling the elevator gates open nor are the gates even seen.
