Society girl Margaret Richards, in full snit, has roared off in the family valet's car without a cent in her pocket. But now there's a matter of $3.48 to be paid at the gas station and the attendant isn't buying her promise of payment tomorrow. He insists she pay by cleaning rooms in the station's adjoining motel.
Dick Powell plays the gas jockey, a college grad who plans to put his engineering degree to use by someday establishing a chain of auto courts. Meanwhile, Olivia de Havilland plans sweet revenge over that $3.48 indignity. Complications aplenty follow in this easy-to-like screwball romance.
