Radio writer, Bill Grimes is married to Alice. The couple is in a loveless marriage, but is unable to divorce due to finances. Much to Alice's disdain, Bill is in a relationship with radio actress, Laura O'Neill. Laura lives with her sisters, Sally and Honey, who both take advantage of what a big city has to offer. Bill is tricked into confessing—on the air—that he murdered his wife. Bill is then the subject of a manhunt coordinated by the radio broadcasters.
