This is an unusual film for 1926, as the leading player in this silent comedy is a woman (Anne Cornwall). There weren't a lot of famous comediennes at this time and unfortunately Ms. Cornwall is all but forgotten. It's a shame as the film is clever and a nice change of pace.
Anne wants a job with the newspaper but the editor is tough as nails. Finally, after annoying him the guy agrees to give her a job if she can get a good picture of the Senator. Partly this is to get rid of her and partly this is out of disgust for his male employees who can't seem to get this right. Well, the men refuse to let the woman just take their jobs, so they phone the Senator and tell her the camera is really a bomb!! So, as she tries her best to snap a photo, he's scared to death and makes it all but impossible to capture him!
A decent plot-driven comedy--it's a must for fans of the genre, but others should enjoy it as well.
