The Big Scoop Synopsis

Johnny is the editor of a little local paper full of scintillating gossip called "The Whisper," and Gertrude is the society editor. Everyone in town is saying that it has more news than "The Daily Tribune," and Old Man Jones is very hot under the collar. All "The Whisper" needs is a "big scoop," and with the aid of a false-alarm burglar scare and a flash-light photograph they get the picture of what they think is the burglar, and they sell out at a good price to Old Man Jones, the Tribune owner, just before their latest issue appears with a front page picture that nearly gives the Old Man apoplexy.
