A witty pre-code romantic comedy about class conflict and marital discord, where a husband caught between a domineering socialite wife and a fellow reporter navigates love, ambition, and social expectation with comedic irreverence.

Ann Schuyler is an upper-crust socialite who bullies her reporter husband into conforming to her highfalutin ways. The husband chafes at the confinement of high society, though, and yearns for a creative outlet. He decides to write a play and collaborates with a fellow reporter.
