This peppy Monogram meller stars Robert Armstrong as a big-city newspaper reporter. After getting a bonus, Armstrong over-celebrates and wakes up in faraway St. Louis without a penny to his name.

While thus occupied, Armstrong finds time to solve a local mystery and secure another bonus that will enable him to marry Doyle for real.
