- A young turn-of-the-century newspaper man finds he can get hold of the next day's paper. This brings more problems than fortune, especially as his new girlfriend is part of a phony clairvoyant act.
- In the beginning of the 20th century, Lawrence 'Larry' Stevens is an ambitious reporter on "The Evening News." One day while celebrating with his colleagues, he tells his friend Pop Benson that he would like to know the news in advance before it happens. While they are walking on the street, they see a poster of the clairvoyant Cigolini and his gorgeous niece Sylvia Smith and they decide to go to a theater to see the show. Larry flirts with Sylvia and on his way back home, he overhears Pop on the street and the old man tells that he is waiting for him and gives a newspaper to him. Larry does not give much attention and puts the newspaper in the pocket of his jacket. On the next morning, he finds that the newspaper is an edition of the next day. Larry uses the information to scoop about a hold up in the opera house, becoming the prime suspect of Inspector Mulrooney. Larry dates Sylvia and Pop gives another edition of "The Evening News" of the next day. Larry becomes a successful reporter and is promoted and has a raise on his job. He plans to marry Sylvia and decides to find the winners of the horse race. But soon he also learns that he will die on the next day. Now he questions whether the future can be changed.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- An ambitious newspaper reporter, eager to scoop the competition, wishes he could know the news before it happens. A mysterious old man grants him the power to see tomorrow's newspaper, but his inside track on the future comes with complications...—yusufpiskin
- In the late 19th century, Larry Stevens is hoping to get out of writing obituaries for "The Evening News" newspaper, and be what he considers a real reporter. He and his colleagues get into a philosophical discussion of what constitutes news, the newspaper's elderly archivist Pop Benson, who posits that news is what happens, the issue of time only an illusion, as what happens tomorrow will be yesterday's news the day after. Larry counters that if someone knows what will happen tomorrow, they can proverbially name their own price. In joking to Pop about giving him a copy of tomorrow's newspaper now, Larry is shocked that Pop does come through with this request. While Larry initially believes his life professionally and personally is set with what Pop has provided him, he will ultimately discover that knowledge is a powerful tool, not always a good one, and that that knowledge is only part of the story of what happens. The complication in his life is made all the more difficult as he tries to court Sylvia Smith, the assistant in Cigolini's fortune telling stage act, Cigolini really her Uncle Oscar.—Huggo
