"The story of a redheaded shill!"

Dave Joslin, the managing editor of a big-city newspaper, is demoted and moved to the Miss Lonely Hearts column-writing department by the newspaper's publisher, J. B.

But Joslin, aided by Kit Williams, a newspaper woman with whom he is in love, investigate the murder case on their own time.
