In San Francisco, Petulia Danner is a young socialite who has been married to David, an architect, for six months. She meets Dr. Archie Bollen, who is divorcing his wife Polo, at a benefit concert for victims of traffic accidents. Petulia has grown romantically attached to Archie when he operated on Oliver, a Mexican boy she adopted. The two go upstairs inside the Hilton Hotel for a one-night stand, but Petulia reconsiders and Archie escorts her to a taxi. The next morning, Petulia impulsively arrives at Archie's apartment with a tuba.
