Jill Trevor vows revenge on newspaper baron Sir Joshua Morple, who she holds responsible for ruining her father. Her very public antics to draw attention to Morple's despicable conduct come to the notice a rival newspaper, who send journalist Jim Brent to offer to write up Jill's story, in the hope that he will be able to dig up some dirt on Morple. Jim is initially skeptical, seeing Jill as a silly attention-seeking airhead, but as he gets to know her he changes his mind and realizes there is substance to her claims, so the pair join forces to discredit Morple publicly, at the same time as starting to fall in love with each other.
