A married reporter, known to be a skirt-chaser, is implied to be unfaithful to his "invalid" wife with a local young woman; they are implied to have sex in his hotel room.

Yellow journalism seems to cook up a story about a love triangle between a married man and a married couple, even though they are repeatedly told the three are just friends. A young woman who appears to be the girlfriend of the local newspaper editor is seen romantically linked to a married reporter from out of town.

Gunshots are heard and a man is found dead in his bedroom. An off-screen beating occurs.

The New York reporters contain a bunch of alcoholics who spend their most of their time drinking and smoking.
