Walter Burns, the hard-boiled editor for The Morning Post, learns his ex-wife and former star reporter, Hildegard “Hildy” Johnson, is about to marry insurance man Bruce Baldwin and settle down with him in Albany, NY. Walter, determined to sabotage these plans, entices a reluctant Hildy to cover one last story: the upcoming execution of Earl Williams, a shy bookkeeper convicted of murdering a policeman.
