The gossip columnist of the Wistful Vista Gazette has taken a vacation, and left his job to Fibber McGee. Chief editor Gildersleeve checks up on Fibbers work. Well, he may not be the editor, but it doesn’t keep the jokes from coming. Fibbers secretary, Miss Print, brings bad news that an upset reader wants to horse whip Fibber over an article he wrote. As he hides, Billy Mills plays a peppy tune.
Checking out the night life for his column, Fibber hits the night clubs and talks with the Old Timer. Hal Peary provides the voice for the waiter who gives a few pointers on the society types and under world characters in town.
Speaking to Abigail Uppington, Fibber gets more than wind of high society trends. He learns that the angry reader is near and determined to horse whip him if he finds him. Donald Novas sings, Melanchollie Moon.
Back in the newspaper office, Fibber hears a few juicy tidbits from Horatio K Boomer. Sort of. What about the guy with the horse whip? Fibber can’t run any more, but first he gets a visit from Teeny.
