À New York, les Lorrimore sont une famille dont la richesse a disparu et qui est maintenant couverte de dettes. Ils fondent leurs espoirs sur le fils aîné, Brighton, mais lorsque celui-ci revient après une année dans le sud, la révélation de son mariage avec une jeune femme pauvre, Phyllis, choque sa mère, sa sœur Martha et son frère Clancey, un bon-à-rien. Phyllis se rend vite compte qu'elle n'est pas acceptée par la famille, la seule qui l'apprécie est Edith Gilbert, une héritière que l'on aurait bien vu épouser Brighton. Elle voudrait partir avec ce dernier pour qu'il puisse réaliser son rêve d'être écrivain, mais l'argent est trop important pour lui. Elle décide alors de demander l'aide d'un riche cousin de la famille, Martin Deering. Bientôt des rumeurs apparaissent à propos de leur relation. Phyllis et Martin deviennent amants pendant que Brighton est en voyage d'affaires au Mexique. À son retour, le couple se querelle, et elle avoue sa relation avec Martin et le quitte. Elle commence à travailler comme vendeuse dans un magasin chic, mais refuse d'épouser Martin. Un soir, Brighton la rencontre dans le magasin et lui demande de revenir avec lui. Ils décident alors de recommencer à vivre ensemble.

Famous Hollywood actor Don Bolton (Hope) is a vain movie star whose biggest fear is to be drafted into the US Army. He definitely lacks the qualities of a good soldier, and he is so afraid of loud noise that he would not last a day in the service, let alone cope with hearing a single gunshot when he is on set shooting a war film at the studio. Colonel Peter Fairbanks (Clarence Kolb) visits the studio set as a consultant for the war film, and with him he has brought his beautiful daughter Antoinett, known as "Tony" (Dorothy Lamour). Don is smitten by Tony, and also realizes that his ticket out of the Army is to marry the colonel’s daughter to avoid the draft.
