Walter Burns is a newspaper editor trying to hang on to his star reporter, Hildy Johnson, who is also Walter's ex-wife. Hildy is leaving journalism to go off and marry Bruce, but an escaped convict, hiding behind a desk in the newsroom, is the perfect bait for Walter to lure Hildy back to her job and to him.
