In a crowded newsroom a sharp rivalry shapes the campaign for a senate seat. The Old Man competes with Burford, while a stenographer and a naive copyist Johnny enter the fray, exposing office politics, sexual tension, and personal animosities in a tale of ambition and faction.
A stormy office scene unfolds as an irate Old Man berates a stenographer over misfiles and a returned check. The confrontation ends with a physical outburst and the stenographer quitting, while colleague Blake angles for political gain and a romance blooms amid newsroom upheaval.
A collage of witty exchanges and quips from newspapers and public life. Jokes about character and reputation, political banter on bribery and voters, social missteps at counters, and light quips from Baltimore to Chicago. Notable snippets include a shopkeeper’s counter, a voter bribery exchange, and comic asides on manners and language.
