The Journal, anxious to get the list of streets, sends Eddie Ball, a young reporter fresh from college, to interview the Mayor. Eddie, wishing to impress the Mayor with his own importance, writes his name and "Reporter for the Journal" on a card which he sends in. To his chagrin the Mayor returns his card with the information that he will not see any reporters. When Eddie informs the editor of his failure, the editor is furious and yet amused over Eddie's "greenness." Knowing that a list of the streets would be a scoop for the Journal, he sends Gail, the star reporter. While trying to plan some way to accomplish this, Gail goes to have her nails manicured. At the crowded beauty shop, Gail answers the telephone for one of the manicurists and learns that the fastidious Mayor desires a manicurist to come to his office. Gail, realizing her opportunity, seizes it and, by trickery, succeeds and gets the scoop for her paper. When the Mayor reads in the extra the entire list of streets he declares that he will thrash the man who turned traitor and gave out the information. Repairing to the office of the Journal he meets "the manicurist" of a few hours before and realizes what he himself has done. He finds out, however, that the manicurist has other accomplishments than "filing nails." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
