While wire-service chief Mark Loving recruits star writer Mildred Donner to be his eyes and ears, a third contender for the top job, Harry Kritzer, carries on a secret affair with Dorothy, who is Walter Kyne's wife.... 　　译文(2): 媒体大亨阿莫斯?凯恩(Amos Kayne)去世后，一场权力斗争接踵而至。凯恩的公司现已移交给他唯一的继承人、他的纨绔子弟沃尔特(Walter)。沃尔特没有亲自管理公司，而是决定让三个部门的负责人争夺控制权。他们的任务是得到一个独家报道一个连环杀手在纽约恐吓妇女。凯恩组织的报纸称他为“口红杀手”如果一个足智多谋的人能够在警察之前就认出他，沃尔特 · 凯恩将授予他执行董事的头衔。三人之一，报纸编辑约翰 · 戴 · 格里菲斯(John Day Griffith)在知名记者爱德华 · 莫布利(Edward Mobley)身上有盟友，莫布利也为凯恩的电视网络做报道。通讯社社长马克 · 洛文招募明星作家米尔德里德 · 唐纳作为他的耳目，第三位最高职位的竞争者哈里 · 克里策则与沃尔特 · 凯恩的妻子多萝西有一段秘密恋情。
