Inhalt:

Lawrence Fellows is a whirling dervish as the head of his own advertising agency, provoking the secret admiration of his 40-year-old secretary, Miss Andrews. The lady begins to suffer from an emotional strain, and Fellows gives her a leave of absence, replacing her with Anne Murdock, a comely young lass who formerly had been merely temporary help. Anne proves to be such a package of charm and wit that Fellows falls for her in a big way, thereby neglecting Linda, his wife. Mrs. Fellows, too, has been involved in an affair, and soon goes to Paris to break the tie that binds. The boss and Anne then merge into a permanent partnership, with the latter retaining all hiring responsibilities for any future girl Friday.
