Mavis Arden (Mae West) is a famous actress. Her international fan base is proof of her fame, as are her personal appearance tours. Arden's car breaks down on her way home from one of these events. She asks her publicist (Warren William) to locate her a place to stay, suspecting that the breakdown was staged to keep her away from a man. She quickly finds herself swooning for a local repairman (Randolph Scott) and listening to his ideas for creating film equipment.
