Film Inédit en salle en France
After serving in the RAF during the Second World War, Nat Hearn returns to his pre-war job as a reporter on the Tormouth Clarion. He meets and is attracted to Sally Thorpe, who had replaced him when he enlisted and has been given notice now that he has returned. He arranges for her to be kept on, and they spend time together and become engaged to be married.
Later, Nat becomes a co-owner and editor of the paper, but the other co-owner disagrees with Nat's new editorial policy, which often involves upsetting people who provide the paper with much of its advertising revenue. The co-owner arranges for most of the staff to take holiday time off simultaneously to prevent Nat's opposition to Tormouth Council's proposed redevelopment scheme, from which some councillors plan to profit personally. Despite this, at a public meeting called by the council Nat and his small band of supporters manage to convince the locals to support Nat in the dispute.
