Sassy reporter Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell) pays a visit to her ex-husband and soon-to-be ex-boss, Walter Burns (Cary Grant), the fast-talking editor of the Morning Post. Distressed that Hildy is giving up her career to wed a placid insurance salesman (Ralph Bellamy), Walter plots to win Hildy back and convinces her to write one last story.
