Phoebe Throssel (Hepburn) was heartbroken when Dr. Valentine Brown (Franchot Tone) left her to fight the army of Napoleon, and Phoebe has remained in love and single waiting for him. But when Dr. Brown returns after ten years and inadvertently humiliates her with a comment on her appearance, Phoebe changes her hair and buys a new gown. And when Dr. Brown then mistakes Phoebe for her younger niece, Livvy, she does not correct him and proceeds to woo the man she loves in her new identity. But when Dr. Brown confesses to 'Livvy' that he loves Phoebe, she must find a way to tell the doctor the truth.

Janet Gaynor, Robert Montgomery, Franchot Tone and Grady Sutton play the four sides of a romantic quadrangle in this screwball comedy co-scripted by Bella and Samuel Spewack (Broadway's Kiss Me, Kate). Gaynor portrays small-town girl Nancy Briggs, whose nebbish fiancé George (Sutton) doesn't return from his Manhattan job in time to say, "I do." So Nancy heads to the big city to hunt for her hubby-to-be and, after a series of dizzy complications, lands in the apartment of a debonair author (Montgomery), in the romantic sights of his equally debonair pal (Tone), and in the middle of a three-man boxing match when George suddenly reappears. Will Nancy ever get to the altar? And if so, with whom? Gaynor was fresh off her triumph in A Star Is Born when she made this fast-paced comedy and met its costume designer, Adrian. She soon became his bride and, at the height of her popularity, bid the movie world goodbye for almost 20 years.

The moral certainty of a jury foreman that sends a woman convicted of murder to the electric chair will come back to haunt him come execution night.
