After five years of marriage, Clara (Lucille Ball) and Andrew Hinklin (James Ellison) find their relationship slightly dulled, especially since they live with Clara's mother (Emma Dunn). When Andrew befriends notorious playboy Battincourt (Robert Coote) and spends a wild night out with him and several women, Clara is offended and throws him out. Feeling responsible, Battincourt meets Clara and advises her to glamorize herself after a Latin temptress -- and Andrew falls for her impersonation.
