A runaway reporter and her scheming ex-boss chase a scoop, they crack more than just headlines—they reignite sparks in this lightning-fast battle of wits!
Star reporter Hildy Johnson tries to quit journalism for marriage, but her editor/ex-husband Walter Burns lures her back with a sensational story: saving a condemned man from the gallows. As Walter sabotages Hildy’s engagement, they race to expose corruption while trading rapid-fire banter in a newsroom circus.
