Nicole has no job and is several weeks behind with her rent. Her solution to her problems is to try and snare a rich husband. Enlisting the help of her friend Gloria and the maitre'd at a ritzy New York City hotel, the trio plot to have Gloria catch the eye of Bill Duncan, a millionaire staying at the hotel. The plan works and the two quickly become engaged. Nicole's plan may be thwarted by Bill's friend, Jim Trevor, who's met Nicole before and sees through her plot.

Desperate to avoid eviction, a penniless socialite hatches a scheme to trap a millionaire in a web of high-society deception. This sparkling screwball comedy relies on sharp wit and frantic maneuvering to turn a frantic hunt for a paycheck into a whirlwind of romantic chaos.
