Ann's five years of being an independent woman actress begins when she meets Donald Hollinger, a magazine reporter, in one of her in-between jobs as a candy clerk. She gets a job in a perfume commercial where she plays a woman who gets kidnapped by two robbers. Donald happens to see the act and thinks that Ann is in real trouble, so he saves her only to get serious flack from her. But with that incident aside, Ann and Donald find out that they really belong together.

Ann invites her parents and her Aunt Harriet to dinner at her house where she tries to prove to them that living in the city is pretty cool. A stranger outside the window ruins Ann's point because he has romantic woes.
