Newspaper reporter Cary Grant falls in love with music store clerk Irene Dunne. He takes a job in Japan where she soon follows and announces they are pregnant. However, she loses the baby in an earthquake and the ability to have any others. They adopt one from an orphanage, but after a year must face a judge and persuade him to let them keep the baby even though he has no job. Satisfying melodrama that works despite its episodic structure, with a plot designed to elicit maximum sympathy for the naive parents and more than a few tears. Edgar Buchanan shines in a supporting role as "uncle" and expert baby bather.
