Jane (Paulette Goddard) accompanies Mr Stevens (Fred MacMurray) on a business trip to win a contract, posing as his secretary. However, she doesn't know the first thing about being a secretary. There is a severe accommodation shortage and she finds them a place to stay working as a butler and a cook while Mr Stevens tries to win his contract. There are several misunderstandings before the conclusion at a dinner party.
The cast are funny - watch Goddard take dictation or MacMurray ask for the day off while posing as a butler - and the film carries the viewer through various farcical and comedic scenarios. Roland Young can be annoying as Ira Cromwell while Anne Revere makes an amusing and very dominating Major Cromwell. It's an amusing film - light and fun.
