Aging Broadway sensation Beatrice Page (Ginger Rogers) snatches up a script by Stanley Krown (William Holden), a promising young writer, and demands that he re-envision the lead role -- that of a teenager on the edge of adulthood -- as a character closer to Page's own age. Krown refuses, unwilling to compromise his vision. Undeterred, the quick-witted Page recruits her bewildered ex-husband, producer E. Harry Phillips (Paul Douglas), to convince Krown to agree to her dubious terms.
