520    "While his boss is on vacation, reporter Alvin Roberts has
       been writing a snappy gossip column featuring 
       announcements of 'blessed events, ' impending births of 
       both the married and unmarried. Although the column is not
       very respectable, circulation jumps, so Alvin is assigned 
       a regular position. Soon, he is so powerful that gangster 
       Sam Goebel sends his gunman, Frankie Wells, to threaten 
       him. Instead, Alvin tricks Frankie into confessing to 
       murder and records it on his dictaphone. He warns Frankie 
       that if someone kills him, Frankie will be executed 
       painfully. Alvin's nemesis, singer Bunny Harmon, is 
       opening a new nightclub and vows that Alvin will not be 
       admitted, ever. Alvin, on the other hand, insists that he 
       will be there no matter what. When singer Dorothy Lane 
       begs Alvin, who has no scruples when it comes to his 
       column, not to print the news that she is pregnant, he 
       promises not to, but even though she is not married and 
       will not name the baby's father, he runs the story, 
       disregarding the harm it may do to her. Alvin is in love 
       with Gladys Price, another reporter on the paper, who 
       despises his column. When Alvin discovers that Goebel is 
       Dorothy's lover and threatens to expose him, Goebel 
       decides he must be killed. Frankie warns Alvin that 
       Goebel's men will be looking for him at Bunny's nightclub.
       Gladys begs him not to go, but Alvin sneaks in through the
       back. Although Goebel's men shoot at him, Alvin is not 
       harmed. Dorothy, however, shoots and kills Goebel. Later 
       Alvin agrees to give up his column for Gladys, using his 
       last column to defend Dorothy and announce his engagement.
       ... Contemporary sources note that the character of Alvin 
       was based on columnist Walter Winchell"--AFI catalog, 1931
       -1940.
