Recently fired department store clerk Ginger Rogers finds an old woman placing a baby on the steps of an orphanage, then is mistaken for the baby's mother. Although she vehemently denies it is hers, it turns out to be her ticket to a new job, with a promotion, and eventually a husband in the form of David Niven, her boss. He drops his playboy lifestyle to take care of both Ginger and the baby. Entertaining but overly contrived with a plethora of cute baby scenes.
