Claudette Colbert falls in love with Maurice Chevalier in Vienna. Broke, she convinces her wealthy father to give him a job in his chewing gum factory back in the States. Little does she know that her father intends on working him so hard that he leaves her. Instead, Chevalier makes him a fortune with alcohol flavored gum. However, in the process Chevalier has become so Americanized that Claudette no longer wants him. Don't worry, there is a happy ending. Tolerable Colbert-Chevalier pairing, spiced up with dialogue by Preston Sturges.
