Storm in a Teacup
Frank Burdon is a new reporter on a small-town Scottish paper. He's told to interview local politician William Gow, then left in charge of the paper overnight. He sees Gow being high-handed to a woman who can't afford to license her dog, and decides to run that story instead of the expected puff piece. Both are decent men, but a little too proud to back down, and the battle escalates into a criminal case... but at the same time, Burdon and Gow's daughter Victoria are falling in love.

Reporter Frank Burdon gets a job on the only newspaper in the Scottish town of Baikie. He is assigned to interview the local Provost, William "Willie" Gow, who is running for Parliament, and comes away unimpressed and indignant at the way Gow refuses to talk to Honoria Hegarty, a destitute ice-cream vendor who has had her dog taken away from her by the local authorities because of her inability to pay the license fee. Burdon also dislikes Gow's arrogant and doctoral manner in dealing with other citizens with issues. The newspaper's owner leaves town on a short trip, and Burdon re-plates the whole from page with a scathing editorial about Gow that raises a furore in the town. "Vickie" Gow, Willie's daughter, has met Burdon and they are mutually impressed with each other, and "Vickie" understands his reasons for attacking her father. At a big election rally the next night. Gow is booed off the platform, and word of the trouble in Baikie has reached London! , and the town is soon overrun by reporters and photographers.! The lea der of the Scottish party backing Gow arrives for a dinner at Gow's, but the dinner is broken up by the news that Honoria's impounded dog has been stolen along with many others, and a pack of dogs are soon running loose in Gow's home. Gow has Burden arrested, but his daughter, when summoned as a witness for the prosecution, announces she has married Burdon and can't testify against her husband.
