James Stewart plays bookish and dull college professor Peter Morgan who is in New York with his more outgoing cousin James Ellison who likes to party in nightclubs.
Peter meets and immediately hits it off with singer Francey (Ginger Rogers), they get married and he takes her back home. Trouble is that he has not told his parents that he has got married.
His dad is very conservative, his mum is rather meek and Peter just wants to be with his wife but ends up passing his wife off as his cousin's girlfriend.
It is all very good natured, Rogers is really wonderful in her role, Stewart's character is too weak but the film meanders too much into silliness.
