Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Rheinhardt, a cynical drifter, gets a job as an announcer for right-wing radio station WUSA in New Orleans. Rheinhardt is content to parrot WUSA's reactionary editorial stance on the air, even if he doesn't agree with it. Rheinhardt finds his cynical detachment challenged by a lady friend, Geraldine, and by Rainey, a neighbor and troubled idealist who becomes aware of WUSA's sinister, hidden purpose. And when events start spinning out of control, even Rheinhardt finds he must take a stand.

| Trivia | Paul Newman researched the role by spending time at radio station KMPC in Los Angeles. The teen intern assigned to show him the operation was Ken Levine, who became a disc jockey before going on to be a writer on M*A*S*H (1972), Cheers (1982) and Frasier (1993), and a producer and director of other TV shows.
