Plot

In the heart of Washington's political maelstrom, Harry Brock, a brash and high-handed businessman, arrives to forward his self-serving construction plans. In tow is his glamorous yet uncultured mistress, Billie Dawn, a former Las Vegas showgirl. Her lack of sophistication and social grace proves to be a thorn in Harry's side, often leaving him red-faced during crucial political schmoozing. In a desperate bid to polish Billie's rough edges, Harry enlists the skills of Paul Verrall, a seasoned journalist with a sharp wit. Tasked with the monumental job of transforming the seemingly naive Billie into an elegant socialite, Paul embarks on an enlightening journey with his new pupil. However, as the lessons progress, Paul discovers the spark of intelligence buried beneath Billie's ditzy exterior. As Billie begins to question the dubious documents Harry persistently nudges her to sign, she reveals a newfound tenacity and keenness, leaving Paul surprised and increasingly smitten. As romance blossoms between the unlikely pair, they find themselves entangled in a web of Harry's shady dealings. Simultaneously, Billie's transformation and her growing defiance against Harry's belittling treatment stirs the pot further, leading to a captivating dance of love, betrayal, and revelation.
