Kathleen Turner and Burt Reynolds star in an updated version of one of Hollywood's most beloved stories. The original 1931 classic The Front Page starred Pat O'Brien and Adolphe Menjou; Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell revived the story in 1949's His Girl Friday, and Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon and Susan Sarandon brought it back again in Billy Wilder's The Front Page (1974). Sully (Reynolds) is the producer of a cable news program; Christy (Turner) is his ex-wife and best reporter. She informs him that she's quitting the news business to marry Blaine (Christopher Reeve) just as an innocent man is about to be executed. With a botched execution, a prison break and a possible pardon in the works, Sully pulls out every trick in the book to break up her upcoming marriage and keep her on the job.

Český Sully a Christy pracují už léta pro redakci zpravodajství jedné televizní stanice. Kromě toho, že jsou kolegové, jsou také bývalí manželé. Když se Christy vrátí z dovolené a oznámí, že se hodlá provdat za úspěšného podnikatele Blaina a zároveň skončit v práci, Sully se snaží vymyslet, jak ji přimět, aby pustila toho hezouna k vodě a zůstala v redakci. Když nezaberou všemožné triky, kterými se snaží Blaina znemožnit, uvědomí si, že jen jediná věc Christy přesvědčí. Reportáž, kterou nemůže nechat plavat.

Gregory Peck, a grizzled old Scottish bandit operating in the American West, teams up with a young "half-breed" (Desi Arnaz, Jr.) to commit a robbery. Things go badly: the haul nets them only $420 and they accidentally killed a citizen. Arnaz is captured, and Peck, rescuing him, is severely wounded in the leg. Now they are on the run. Peck and Arnaz meet a rancher and his young wife, and pay the rancher to haul Peck to a doctor in his wagon--four days away. Left alone, Arnaz and the rancher's wife are the inevitable victims of the "birds and the bees," an idyll interrupted by a racist sheriff (Jack Warden) who has been after Arnaz. A final deadly confrontation will involve the sheriff, the rancher, Peck and a murderous band of Indian renegades. Ted Kotcheff directed this first Western shot in Israel.
