The ace journalist Hildy Johnson (Rosalind Russell Rosalind Russell), who has disappeared for months, comes to the office desk of his boss Walter Burns (Gary Grant Cary Grant) and plans to resign to get married. Walter certainly didn't want that to happen, and more importantly, they used to be a couple who lived together. In Walter's eyes, Hildy is the most effective journalist partner, while Hildy is more looking forward to a peaceful marriage life. Although the two are divorced, Walter is still in love with Hildy. A death row prisoner escape incident that caused a sensation in New York City brought the two men back into close contact. Hildy, who was the first to grab the headlines, was persuaded by Walter to work with him to complete the last report. Unexpectedly, after all kinds of accidents, Hildy gradually found that he could no longer leave Walter.
