Gerry decides to divorce her husband Tom, thinking herself an inadequate wife and their marriage a failure. She departs for Palm Beach for a quickie divorce, there meeting a millionaire who immediately falls for her; perhaps she can marry this man and finance Tom's invention. Fast, hysterical screwball comedy. Fantastic opening.
