Morgan plays foreign correspondent Rickey Mayberry, who flies back from Portugal to the U.S. to keep his wife from divorcing him.
However, on the flight he’s followed by love interest Irene Malcolm (Rita Hayworth). Meanwhile, Mayberry’s wife Sue (Merle Oberon) divorces him, though she still loves him.
The comedy of errors is compounded by Irene and by Rickey’s boss (James Gleason), who both conspire to keep the couple apart.
