Everyone in the family has a hobby, except for Henry O'Neill, who is too busy editing the local paper. When new owners insist on a policy of sensationalism, he resists and finds his job in peril, so he takes his new camera and son Jackie Moran and his ham radio set-up on a camping trip, only to find a forest fire.
It's a high-speed Warners B movie, timing in at 54 minutes, and while the fire is well shot, there is too much chatter of random random facts, offered by Aldrich Bowker, whose hobby is statistics.
