Beg for stories about troublemakers? (7)
I believe the answer is:
implore
'beg' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'stories about troublemakers?' is the wordplay.
'stories' becomes 'lore' (lore can mean a body of traditions or learning).
'about' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'troublemakers?' becomes 'imp' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'lore' after 'imp' is 'IMPLORE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for implore that I've seen before include "More lip (anag)" , "press" , "Beg earnestly, beseech" , "Beg earnestly, plead" , "Beg earnestly, entreat" .)
