Beginner's Luck

When a cannon ball is reported missing from the historic caste of Lodden in Sussex Hugh Curtis - a very new reporter on the <i>Daily Record</i> - is sent to cover the trivial episode by way of a punishment because he had fallen down badly on a story the previous day. Digruntled he makes up his mind to find the wretched cannon ball at any cost.<br><br>In fact it nearly costs him his life-and Mollie Bourne hers too. Mollie is the beautiful girl reporter of the rival paper-the Courier's spoiled darling according to Hugh. But she proves to be a good companion in a tight spot for finding the cannon ball is only a prelude to a series of terrifying experiences. Luck however is on their side-beginner's luck Hugh modesty calls it when he lands the scoop of the year.
