Girl quits singing dream to pursue husband. Works at brokerage hoping to marry coworker. Coworker uses her idea to develop product. She gets singing opportunity, must choose between career and marriage.
After being in Hollywood for a month with lots of compliments but no offers, girl-next-door Libby Caruso decides to give up on her singing career and focus on fulfilling her destiny of being a wife, hopefully to a doctor. She believes that to nab a husband she must get a job where many eligible bachelors would notice her, but singing is her only real skill. She lands a Girl Friday job at a brokerage firm and believes that she is destined to marry Paul Davis, who works at the product-development company where her best friend and roommate Jan McNair works. Paul believes that he is God's gift to the world, if only anyone would notice. Jan knows that Libby isn't his type, and he didn't even notice her. Cuz Rickover might be Libby's type, but she didn't notice him. Cuz is a part-timer: part-time supermarket stockman and part-time bass player, among other part-time activities. Ultimately, Paul believes he can help Libby and in turn help himself in developing a product for market that Libby created to make her 9-to-5 life easier. But as he helps her with that and she hopes he'll ask her to marry him, she gets the opportunity to showcase her singing to a wide audience. So as Libby's 9-to-5 life, her pursuit of a husband, the product development, and the singing seem to be moving up and down simultaneously, she must decide where her focus lies.—Huggo
Libby has spent a whole month trying unsuccessfully to get into show business with her singing, so she decides to retire and find a job where she can meet and marry the right man. This turns out to be Paul Davis, whom she sees at the supermarket. The only problem is that he ignores her, thinking that his ideal woman is T'n'T (tall and top heavy)--which Libby is not. One day, Libby creates a clothes stand which she calls the "Lady Valet". This product interests Paul and he wants to promote it. He gets her on the "Tonight Show" to push the product, and when she mentions she used to be a singer, Johnny asks her to perform. After that, her dormant showbiz career finally springs to life, to Paul's astonishment. She uses her new fame to get his attention.—Tony Fontana <[email protected]>
