Robert Montgomery is in love with author Myrna Loy, but she refuses to marry him because she is in love with her older publisher. Montgomery arranges to have Myrna meet the publisher's wife, but neither knows their real identity. They end up spending the night together discussing Myrna's latest book, which mirrors her real life love affair. Identities are revealed and they deal with the fallout. It's a clever idea, but the relationships are undeveloped, particularly the critical one between Myrna and the publisher, who do not seem suited for one another. Hence, the whole thing falls apart.
