- Charming Andre Cassil woos physician Jane Alexander and the two impulsively get married. The honeymoon ends very quickly after Jane voices her progressive views on marriage, which include that the two should keep separate apartments. Andre then tries to make his wife jealous to lure her into his bedroom.—Daniel Bubbeo <dbubbeo@cmp.com>
- Playwright Andre Cassil marries Doctor Jane Alexander, who immediately takes a separate apartment so that calls upon her professional services will not interfere with his professional routine, and those calls postpone consummation of their marriage for quite a while. Then, on the one evening they are both free, they miss each other because she goes to his apartment and he goes to hers. The incident causes further complications, and the primary question is: if they don't have time to consummate their marriage, how did they ever find time to have a romance that led to an unconsummated marriage?—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
- Physician Jane Alexander falls asleep at the opening of a new play by playboy writer Andre "Pappy" Cassil. Later, Andre tries to romance Edith Meredith at the cast party only to have Nancy Benson, his girl friend actress, interrupt with a phone call from New York. When Jane arrives to pick up the purse she left in the theater, Andre hands the call over to his producer, George Hastings. Enchanted by her ideas about love, Andre follows Jane to her hospital. When her supervisor, Dr. Gunther, enters her office, Jane is forced to give Andre a physical examination. Andre continues his dogged pursuit of Jane, but she rejects all his overtures until the night he calls for an ambulance at a restaurant and ends up getting into a fight with another patron. The two begin seeing each other, but Jane's devotion to her profession limits their social time together. Despite this, the two are soon married and plan a two-week honeymoon at his mountain retreat. Nancy interrupts their honeymoon night by insisting that Andre meet her at the local train depot. She then coerces Andre into casting her in the lead of his new play, in hopes that it will help her "get over him." Returning to the retreat, Jane tells Andre that he had nothing to worry about, as she does not believe in jealousy. Jane is then called back to New York on an emergency. Later, Andre becomes upset when Jane takes her own apartment in his building, stating that their separate careers require separate residences. Andre goes to George for advice, who suggests that he go along with Jane's idea of "two people, two lives" until he can make her become jealous. Andre and Jane are interrupted at lunch the same day by Jane's old suitor, explorer Michael Dailey, who tells them that he plans to do everything he can to break up their marriage. Andre then invites Edith to dinner, hoping to make Jane jealous, but the physician wife does not respond in the hoped for manner. When Andre follows Jane up to her apartment, however, he becomes jealous himself when he finds Michael there. Later, the newlyweds each plan romantic evenings at the other's apartment, unaware that they have chosen the same evening for their tryst. The next day, Andre confronts Jane during a live radio broadcast, demanding to know where she spent the night. The couple becomes a national gossip sensation, making headlines coast to coast. Jane files for divorce and plans to join Michael on an expedition until Gus, the elevator operator, tells her the truth about the couple's mysterious night apart. That evening, Jane arrives uninvited at Andre's dinner party, slaps Nancy and announces that she is no longer seeking a divorce. Andre follows Jane back to her apartment and finally learns the truth. The couple makes up, and, as Gus leaves the building, he finds both keys to Jane's apartment lying on the sidewalk. He picks them up, smiles, then drops them down the storm drain.
