They constantly spar when they’re not in each other’s arms. Walter Burns, the scheming newspaper publisher, is determined to win back his star reporter—who also happens to be his estranged wife. She plans to quit and marry a new lover, but Walter knows her Achilles’ heel: she can’t turn down a good scoop.
