Leatrice Joy is an executive's assistant at a successful paint company. She hires and fires people, advises on investments and generally runs the company while the old fogy executives work on their golf game. The gimmick is that "A.B", as she is known, dresses like a man, has a short hair cut and is basically a "sexless" business-type who has never known love. That all changes when the wife of one of the executives puts her in a dress and teachers her how to flutter her eyelashes and tell a man how wonderful he is during conversations. It works like a charm on the executive's son. The remainder of the running time is rather listless, taken up by some nonsense about an invention for beating eggs and a rare mineral. It seems to perpetuate the very stereotypes it wants to expose.
