LOVE IS NEWS

“love IS news... when it's romantic TYRONE... lovely LORETTA... and dashing DON stepping out together on a streamlined, screamlined, springtime love-lark!”

When a crafty reporter uses false pretenses to get a story out of heiress Tony Gateson, she turns the tables on him, telling the press that they are engaged. Suddenly he's front page news, every salesman is at his doorstep, and he loses his job. A series of misadventures ensues with him alternately back on his job and fired and her ex-fiancé showing up.
