Ann, enchanted by Stew's sharp wit and charm, embarks on a whirlwind romance with him, culminating in a hasty elopement. Soon, however, the intoxicating glamour of high society begins to lose its sheen for Stew. His street-smart background and journalistic instincts clash with the refined expectations of Ann's world. Feeling out of place amidst the porcelain delicacy of socialites, he finds himself gravitating back towards his roots and his vivacious 'pal', fellow reporter Gallagher.
