| Eager to land a journalistic position, Adam White goes to work as an advice-giving
newspaper columnist. His editor, Shrike, takes pleasure in browbeating his alcoholic wife
Florence for her past adultery, and assigning his employees journalistic jobs for which
they have little aptitude or interest. Shrike goads Adam into meeting one of his
correspondents, Fay Doyle, a teary, self-pitying woman who makes a play for him. Adam is
torn between his loyalty to the newspaper and his girl Justy. |
