Robin Stone a d'autres ambitions que de présenter le JT. Beau gosse auquel nulle femme ne résiste, c'est sur Judith Austin qu'il jette son dévolu. Pour sa beauté bien sûr, mais surtout parce qu'elle est la femme du président d'une chaîne de télévision. Il espère bien qu'elle va l'aider à faire s'envoler sa carrière.
