Warren Haggerty (Tracy) is a newspaper editor. His paper has just published a story about Connie Allenbury (Loy), a rich society lady who supposedly tried to break up the marriage of a British duke. Unfortunately the story turned out not to be true, and Connie is suing Warren's newspaper for a $5 million libel judgment. Haggerty hires ladies' man and former reporter Bill Chandler (Powell) to fix things. Chandler hits on a scheme to discredit Connie's lawsuit: he'll enter into a ShamMarriage, then seduce Connie so she can be portrayed as breaking up another marriage. To set up the scheme, Haggerty supplies Chandler with a convenient wife--his fiancee, Gladys Benton (Harlow), who is tired of Haggerty neglecting her and dodging marriage.
