Chauffeur's daughter Audrey Hepburn falls in love with the son of the house, playboy William Holden. He doesn't even know she exists until she returns from Paris in chic clothes. All of a sudden, every man wants her, including Holden's older brother Humphrey Bogart. Bogie romances Hepburn in order to get her to forget Holden so he can marry a rich heiress and complete a multimillion dollar merger. Of course they end up falling in love for real, ruining everyone's plans. Irresistible romantic fluff well-played by all.
