“The film, considered a screwball comedy, centers on a reporter, Hildebrand ‘Hildy’ Johnson (Pat O’Brien) and his editor (Adolphe Menjou), who hope to cash in on a big story involving an escaped accused murderer, Earl Williams (Stone) and hide him in a rolltop desk while everybody else tries to find him.” (Wikipedia.com)
