 Dim-witted blowhard, Melvin G. Ashton, is a US Senator who wants to be President. He hires Lew Gibson, a talented PR man who gets Ashton in newsreels and on the front page, never thinking he ll win. But Ashton has a secret weapon: a diary documenting every shady deal his party s made for 35 years. With the diary, he blackmails the party leaders to support his candidacy, and he s on his way to the nomination. An unseen political enemy is after the diary, using the young and lovely Valerie Shepherd to get into the Senator s room. Plus, Lew s fiancée, reporter Poppy McNaughton thinks she can get her hands on it, too, and stop Ashton. Will the otherwise unemployable dope become President?
