Millie McGonigle is a woman who is good at her job. She stands on her own feet. But something is missing from her life. She wants a child. For that she sets out to adopt an orphan called Tommy Bassett. There she runs into an obstacle. She has to be married first. Millie turns to Doug Andrews for the job. Doug is a bus driver who has just been fired. Marriage does not interest him at all. Even so he offers to help Millie find a husband. His plan is to make her over from top to bottom. Two suitors turn up in the end. One of them is the president of the orphanage. Glenn Ford and Evelyn Keyes take the leads in Henry Levin’s American film of 1948.
