Plot
Reserved housewife Judy Bernly must start work as a secretary at Consolidated Companies after her husband separates with her. She is put under the supervision of experienced and sharp-tongued widow Violet Newstead. Both work under the egotistical, sexist Vice President Franklin Hart, whom Violet once trained and who helps spread the false rumor that he and his attractive secretary, Doralee Rhodes (who is married), are having an affair.
