Scoundrel Cary Grant comes up with a plan to fleece a war relief charity with his gambling buddies. First, he has to assume a new identity to escape the draft. He needs to raise some cash fast, so deftly steals a personal check of wealthy Laraine Day, who runs the charity. She initially resists his flirtations, but then falls for him, but on a trip to her country mansion realizes they come from different sides of the track. All seems lost, but Grant has a change of heart after receiving a letter from Greece meant for the man whose identity he stole. He spends the rest of the film making amends, though with many complications. The wraparound story provides an opportunity for two endings: one downbeat, the other happy.
