Margot Sherwood is a single magazine editor who wears a wedding ring and fabricates an absentee husband in order to both keep her job (her boss' jealous wife tends to fire single girls after a few weeks) and fend off advances from male colleagues. While going to visit a friend, Margot meets artist Jeff Thompson. Jeff catches on that Margot's "husband" is non-existent due to her inconsistent story of how they met. He decides to teach her a lesson...by showing up at her family home and announcing *he* is the husband. Margot is infuriated by Jeff's facade, but has to keep up with it so her own fib doesn't get out.
