Having only tied the knot with society aviator, King Westley, Ellie Andrews is straight off to her father's yacht and out of King's clutches. Ellie jumps ship and eventually winds up aboard a bus. She must accept the support of out-of- functioning writer, Peter Warne. Actually, Warne doesn't provide any choice -- he'll blow the whistle on Ellie for her daddy, or either she sticks until he puts back her back again to her spouse to her. In any event, Peter gets exactly what he wants--a paper story that is really juicy.
