In addition to his relationship with his girlfriend Cindy Styne, a journalist, stockbroker Ryan Turner also has a relationship with the wife of the publisher Donald Simpson.

Because of the lost funds, Turner loses his job. Cindy leaves him for a new lover, whom she follows to Brazil.

So successful in this role that the media wanted to interview Styne.
Turner is negotiating - allegedly on behalf of Styne - with editor-in-chief Page Hensen about working conditions. He accompanies them to the introduction of a performance artist who fills his anus with paint and splatters a wall with paint in front of an audience. Turner is shocked to see some of the paint on his face. When saying goodbye, he is kissed by Hensen.
As the publisher of a competing magazine, Donald Simpson makes an offer to poach Styne. Turner reveals the deception to Hensen, which ends up with Turner and Hensen ending up in bed. You will be surprised by the Styne returned from Brazil. Styne wonders and says that Turner doesn't like women with brains , to which he replies that he loves Hensen. Hensen doesn't want Styne to return to her job.
Styne accepts Simpson's offer. Borrowing from friends, Turner buys shares in the Simpsons group of companies, which rise in value after Styne's move is announced. Turner sells the shares and also counts on falling prices ( short-selling ) before it becomes apparent that Styne is not the person who made the column a success in recent months.
