Newspaper reporter Steve (Tyrone Power) ambushes heiress Tony (Loretta Young) in hopes of getting the scoop on her relationship with Count Andre (George Sanders). Outraged by the invasion of her privacy, Tony tells a clutch of other reporters that Steve is her fiancé, expecting that they will then turn their attention to him. Her ruse works, and Steve must now experience the burden of fame as crowds follow him, snapping his picture incessantly -- but what happens when their faux love turns real?
When a crafty reporter uses false pretenses to get a story out of heiress Tony Gateson, she turns the tables on him, telling the press that she's engaged to him and that she's given him a million dollar dowry. Suddenly he's on the front page and every salesman is at his doorstep. He loses his job and a day later asks her to call off the ruse; she tricks him again and the publicity continues. She stays cheerful and resourceful through a series of misadventures that has him alternately back on his job and fired. Meanwhile, a count who's her ex-fiancé shows up in New York, and maybe that marriage is back on.
