New York newspaper reporter Wally Cook (Fredric March) finds himself in hot water after misreporting the story of Harlem bootblack Ernest Walker, whom he mistakenly refers to as a nobleman from the East hosting a charity affair. Faced with the fallout, Cook claims ignorance but is promptly demoted to the dreary task of writing obituaries.
