In the heart of the Pacific Palisades, Frank Michaelson stands as a well-respected figure; a man of stature and the esteemed President of the Board of Education. His reputation, however, is on the brink of collapse as he faces a public hearing - an aftermath of a series of provocative front page stories, adorned with scandalous photographs, that have thrown his recent actions into question.
This is the tale of 'Take Her, She's Mine,' where the beloved actor, Jimmy Stewart, embodies the role of the troubled Frank. His saga begins with Mollie Michaelson, his eldest daughter. Once a sweet and innocent child, Mollie is now on the cusp of her twentieth birthday, blossoming into a captivating young woman. Her transformation, coupled with her departure for college, first to the genteel Hawthorne in New England and then to a revered art school in Paris, brings forth an unexpected dilemma for Frank. He struggles to reconcile with the changes in Mollie, and his fatherly instincts push him towards shielding her, irrespective of her desires or needs.
The plot thickens as Frank's overprotective actions lead him on a wild chase, tracking Mollie from her college to the glamorous streets of Europe. His journey is marked by a comical encounter with an eccentric Englishman in Paris and a case of mistaken identity, as he is mistaken for the famous American actor, James Stewart. Amidst this chaos, Frank finds himself in a precarious position, challenged to justify his actions to the school board regents to secure his job.
