The film follows stringer Nick Branca as he is pushed into more and more dangerous situations by his boss, Buddy, in order to land a lucrative contract with a news network.
Stringer Nick Branca (Bernhardt) is considering getting out of the sensationalist TV news business when he and his partner, Sam (Marty Brinton), are called to a jumper on Hollywood Boulevard.
He gives the footage to a distressed man claiming to be the dead woman's husband, but he turns out to be a rival stringer, costing Nick and Sam thousand of dollars.
The networks dangle a large two-year contract in front of Nick and his boss, Buddy (Bernie Angel), if they can continue supplying them with top material.
[6] Variety gave the film a positive review saying "modestly lensed, pic is buoyed by a persuasive Bernhardt performance and capable supporting cast."
