A buoyant screwball comedy about mistaken identity and class collision, where a sable coat becomes the catalyst for romance and chaos among New York's wealthy and working poor.
J.B. Ball, a rich financier, gets fed up with his free-spending family. He takes his wife's just-bought (very expensive) sable coat and throws it out the window, it lands on poor hard-working girl Mary Smith. But it isn't so easy to just give away something so valuable, as he soon learns.
