Comedy / Characters: 17 males, 5 females
Set Requirements: Interior
An irresistible comedy with thrills and derring do set in the
news room. Hildy wants to break away from journalism and go on a
belated honeymoon. There is a jailbreak and into Hildy's hands
falls the escapee as hostage. He conceals his prize in a rolltop
desk and phones his scoop to his managing editor. Their job is to
prevent other reporters and the sheriff from opening the desk and
finding their story. Some hoods are enlisted to remove the desk,
but they get mixed up with a Boy Scout troop and the mayor and a
cleaning woman, among others. It's a whirlwind wrap up with Hildy
finally making his breakaway, but the cynical managing editor has
him arrested before he leaves town for having stolen a watch he
planted on Hildy.
