''The Dansburg Courier'' is a small-town newspaper being run out of business by the ''Gazette'', a bigger, more well-funded competitor across town. Despite the best efforts of its dedicated founder/editor Douglas Winter (Robert Sterling) and his girlfriend/secretary Jackie Benson (Pat Crowley), the ''Courier's'' woes are seemingly overwhelming, and those woes only hit a new low when Douglas' linotype operator Andy Praskins (Charles Thompson) enters his office and announces his resignation, intending to go and work for the ''Gazette''. He has nothing against Douglas, calling him the best boss he’s ever had, but the months without pay have been too hard.
Depressed, Douglas downs a bottle of scotch and drives out to a bridge, intending to jump to his death. His moping is interrupted by a dapper man who calls himself Mr. Smith (Creator/BurgessMeredith), who asks for a light and points out that the short drop is unlikely to kill him. Douglas gives Mr. Smith a ride into town, stopping for drinks at a cocktail lounge, where Mr. Smith treats Douglas because he can’t cover his tab. Mr. Smith then touts his supposed skills as a reporter and linotype operator, saying that he came to town in order to work for Douglas. Douglas and Jackie are amazed when they see Smith's work on the linotype. They have no money to pay him, but he agrees to work for free until the ''Courier'' crawls out of its slump.
