Blame the poor screenplay for the ridiculous character played by Louise Campbell, a young woman just out of journalism school who forces her way onto a newspaper by disguising herself as a member of the emergency squad to get a ride to a fire. I guess the fire department was on a donut break when this fire broke out because the emergency squad was called, a separate division of the police department.
Richard Denning and Robert Paige are showing Campbell around the squad when Denning decides to stuff Paige into a locker so he can be alone with her. The alarm goes off as Denning is about to let him out, and he's forced onto an emergency squad truck where Campbell has put on a fireproof suit with every intention of going. Her presence causes her to get injured, and Denning barely gets a slap on the wrist.
Anthony Quinn has a supporting role as a nightclub owner with lots of scandal going on, and it's obvious that he's involved in the underworld. He's much more likable than Campbell and Denning who really display truly unprofessional behaviors that didn't make me root for them at all. She's the bigger fool for not thinking that her antics could get someone killed or maimed. And yet she ends up with the front page story. Truly absurd and comply skippable.
