A witty, high-spirited screwball romance where a clever woman outmaneuvers a serial bridegroom through charm, strategy, and romantic gamesmanship.

American multi-millionaire Michael Brandon marries his eighth wife, Nicole, the daughter of a broke French Marquis. But she doesn't want to be only a number in the line of his ex-wives and undertakes her own strategy to tame him.
