...News. After 15 minutes of nonsense on the antics of news reel camera-grinders, including some scrambling on the head of a fake Statue of Liberty, Hot News becomes hilarious and develops a plot. There is a Maharajah, who has never been photographed. Miss Pat Clancy (Bebe Daniels*) and her cocky rival, Scoop Morgan, set out to film the Maharajah. Disguised as entertainers, they are admitted to a country estate where he is sojourning. They put on a dance which is really a fight for a camera crank, with Miss Pat kicking, biting, and wrapping her legs about the neck...

Before long, all the ugly famous criminals, the sly and silent actresses, the solemn, musty presidents and the fake policemen stationed to fool visitors-all these people with their stiff faces and their blind, secretive eyes, sharing also with their no less sly, no less secretive models the total inability to escape destruction, became puddles or streams of burning wax. Lindbergh looked brave no longer, a murderer lowered the frail knife...
...available in the U. S. to gamble that a good percentage of newspaper readers would "fall" for a cure. Such cure Dr. J. W. Haines, of Cincinnati, offered to provide in his powders. They contain milk sugar, starch, capsicum (pepper) and a minute amount of ipecac-a useless and fake dope against alcoholism, declares the American Medical Association...
