Commercial artist Miriam Hopkins falls in love with two men she meets on a train: artist Gary Cooper and playwright Fredric March. They live together in a rundown Paris garret struggling to make ends meet. She can't decide between the two, so decides to move in as a "friend" and help them with their careers. March finally gets a hit play and goes to London, leaving her alone with Cooper to resume their relationship. When he returns after a few months, Cooper leaves for an exhibition and she starts anew with March. They all have a big falling out. Years pass and Miriam marries her boss for his money. Cooper and March show up at one of their big parties and it all starts over again. Silly situational comedy with everyone other than Hopkins overacting. The pre-code sexual references are a bit startling, but still tame by today's standards.
