Plot
Ralph Forbes is gossip columnist Tommy Tilton, who excels in slinging nonsense about who is being seen where and, it turns out, is not a timid bluffer when it comes to coaxing out a murderer.
An entertainer is murdered in her dressing room. Tommy Tilton's friend looks pretty guilty, but there's a raft of suspects who also had crossed and been crossed by this particular singer. Tilton's game: He uses his society column to draw out the guilty person with taunts and hints, eventually claiming that he will name the murderer in his next column. Whether his boast is backed up is, of course, in great doubt.
