Outraged when stern Judge Cornelia Porter (Rosalind Russell) rules in favor of his extravagant wife in their divorce, newspaper magnate Judson Blair (Edward Arnold) hires unruly reporter Jeff Sherman (Walter Pidgeon) to provoke a scandal with the judge. Pretending to be married, Jeff follows Cornelia to Cape Cod and assumes the studio and identity of a local sculptor to impress her. Although Cornelia initially resists Jeff's overtures, she soon softens and, to Jeff's surprise, so does he.
