The shattering of Port(er) Dale's halo, editor of the Cog and a very civic citizen, also ends in the break-up of Bess Nolan's romance- for Bess is to marry Port. Not one suspects- not even Al who also loves Bess that behind Port's public spirited programs lies a private partnership in a local gambling spot but by the time the news leaks out- Beas has already realized it is Al she loves.... Politics at a local level- and romance localized for rentals only. Passeble.
