The job is pretty boring until he finds a man trapped in an old Indian dwelling. He jumps at the chance to make a name for himself by taking over and prolonging the rescue effort, and feeding stories to major newspapers. He creates a national media sensation and milks it for all it is worth - until things go terribly wrong.

And what do you know?
Josh Morgan. Where was it?
Boston? Chicago? All I know is he's got a hernia.
Sitting pretty, aren't you, Chuck?
Got everything sewed up, Leo, the sheriff.
Try to talk to the father, the mother, the wife, and what do I get?
- "See Tatum! See Tatum!" - He's a friend of the family.
Now, what's your beef, fans?
You're smart cookies, big-city newspapermen.
There's a lot of good stories lying around here all yours.
The weather, the crowds, the Indians.
Inside stuff, how they weave a rug.
Cut it out, Chuck. We're all buddies.
We're all in the same boat.
I'm in the boat.
You're in the water.
Now let's see you swim, buddies.
Tatum, I always knew you were a louse.
Easy, Mr Morgan. You're talking to an officer of the law.
That tin badge will do you no good.
We've launched a protest with your publisher.
Launch it with the sheriff.
He's my superior.
All right, we'll take this all the way to Santa Fe, to the Governor.
- And you know what he'll do.
