Lee Tracy once again plays a Winchellesque newspaper reporter in Universal’s I’ll Tell the World. More interested in his sex life than his career, news hawk Brown (Tracy) nonetheless agrees to cover the activities of a European archduke (Onslow Stevens) on behalf of his wire service.
Film follows a renowned American newspaper reporter who always manages to be in the right place at the right time to cover major events, while competing with a rival colleague. The main headliner is his uncovering a plot to assassinate the Archduke Ferdinand (not the WWI Ferdinand), and a plan to install an exiled royal family into power (somewhere).
Tracy plays a devil-may-care reporter, working in Europe, who loves scooping his rivals. Then he falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a deposed princess!
