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.

It looks like a life sentence.
Where is it? Where's the loaf of bread with a file in it?
Where's that big story to get me out of here?
One year, and what's our hot news?
A soapbox derby.
A tornado that double-crossed us and went to Texas.
An old goof who said he was the real Jesse James, until they found out he was a chicken thief from Gallup by the name of Schimmelmacher.
I'm stuck here, fans.
Stuck for good!
Unless, of course, you, Miss Deverich, Unless, of course, you, Miss Deverich, instead of writing household hints about how to remove chilli stains from blue jeans, get yourself involved in a trunk murder.
How about it, Miss Deverich?
I could do wonders with your dismembered body.
Oh, Mr Tatum. Really.
Or you, Mr Wendel.
If you'd only toss that cigar out of the window, real far, all the way to Los Alamos, and boom!
Now there would be a story.
I told you no liquor in the office.
I thought I could trust you.
What a suspicious nature you have, Mr Boot.
Pretty, isn't it?
I make those things every night when I go home out of matches and toothpicks.
Calms my nerves.
Sorry, Tatum.
- Maybe you do need a change.
- Do I.
