Chic Sales runs a weekly newspaper out in the middle of nowhere. It's a newspaper which carries the weather as front-page news because some of the subscribers are farmers without radios. When Sales is an eyewitness to gangster "Pretty Face" Wilson (intended to be "Pretty Boy" Floyd) being gunned down on Main Street, he keeps the weather on the front page and puts the slaying in the obituaries.
It's a homespun short about small-town values, a bit far away from MGM's usual values. However, they thought they had a new star in Sales, and for a while they did.
You may also be amused to find Jimmy Stewart as Sales' typesetter. You may find him a little hard to spot, given he's wearing glasses. His voice, however, is unmistakable.
