When Minnesota newsman Gaylord Esterbrook is summoned to New York to rewrite his first play, Broadway star Linda Paige finds him a breath of fresh air and asks for his hand in marriage. But after collaborating with this wife on four comic hits, Gaylord decides the time has come to get serious. Spending his days with a man-hunting muse who insists he write dramas instead, Gaylord works on the play at Linda's expense, two tragedies in the making.
