Summary
In Tom Bret’s briskly paced narrative, the sporting editor—named Bill—finds his domestic tranquility shattered after a sharp exchange with his wife. Disenchanted, he abandons the newsroom’s clamor to wander the city’s underbelly, chasing fleeting diversions. His peregrination leads him into the orbit of the police chief’s spouse, a woman of poise and secret ambitions, whose interactions with Bill ignite a cascade of misunderstandings, comedic entanglements, and a subtle critique of marital expectations in the Roaring Twenties. As Bill oscillates between journalistic duty and personal yearning, the film juxtaposes the frenetic world of sports reporting with the hushed corridors of law enforcement, ultimately steering him back to a reckoning with his own convictions and the fragile scaffolding of his marriage.
