Plot
Aspiring western writer Jonathan moves to NY to try and sell his work. After numerous closed doors, he falls in with unscrupulous pulp magazine publisher Hendricks, who's deeply in debt and sees him as a source of free material, especially after regular writer Dusty refuses to work anymore without getting the money he's owed. Hendricks' secretary Margie feels bad for the deception but goes along with it to keep her own job. More catastrophes, both artistic and romantic, ensue before everything works out.
