Summary
Ink-stained pandemonium erupts inside a cramped newsroom when word ricochets that a silver-spoon heiress has vanished from her gilt cage; typewriters clatter like war drums while the cigar-chomping city editor barks orders, and the whole staff—paste-pot poets, flash-bulb daredevils, and the bumbling copy-boy—hurtle into the night chasing rumor, shadow, and the faint perfume of ransom. Through speakeasy trapdoors, over laundry-line rooftops, and down manhole mazes they careen, a stampede of trench-coat crusaders wielding notepads as shields, until Snub—rubber-limbed, bowler-hatted, chaos incarnate—somersaults into the kidnapper’s lair, unchains the debutante, and rides a runaway fire-escape back to the deadline, scoop in hand, city alight with newsprint confetti.
Synopsis
An entire newspaper staff makes great efforts to get the news about a wealthy damsel who has been abducted. After much of the riotous, hero Snub effects the rescue.
