Synopsis
Richard Bramwell, an American public relations ace for a U. S. oil company, comes to London to clean up the "corporate image" of Carter Harrison, a young executive destined to become president of the firm's international branch. Carter has been separated for 7 years from his Italian wife, Toni, whom he married after a whirlwind courtship. Toni now spends her time championing an assortment of bizarre minority causes. At first interested in divorce, Carter and Toni rekindle the old flame; but he is angered when he discovers that she is still attached to "nutty" causes and that she plans to picket the U. S. Embassy. Toni's current boyfriend, Harry Jones, advises her to leave for Reno immediately. Another breakup is followed by another reconciliation, with Carter promising to allow Toni anything in the way of causes. He and Bramwell then propose a plan to make her think Carter is about to accept a dangerous assignment--in reality, a scheme to prevent her from leading a protest march dressed as Lady Godiva astride a horse. At first Toni agrees to go to Nassau with Carter, but when she discovers the ruse she rushes off to Soho to take her place as Godiva. Chasing after her, Carter purposely causes a traffic disturbance, and the ensuing brawl lands everybody in court. When Bramwell is unable to shield Carter from the shocked attention of J. L. Stevens, his boss, an oil company lawyer makes a clever plea in Carter's defense. But Carter repudiates the defense, declaring he did everything for the love of Toni, who promptly melts into his arms. Stevens, aware of the "corporate image," fires Carter and Bramwell--but, mindful of the tender feelings of Mrs. Stevens, also promises to rehire them.
