Sam S mith is a reporter with a knack for busting crime, but now he has to foil the plans of gangster Johnny O and rescue nightclub singer Roxie Hart along the way. Thomas Mead doesn’t think he needs to learn how to read, so when his classmates are learning he refuses to join in. But during one hectic day of adventures and accidents he finds out just how helpful – or harmful – words can be.
