Plot summary

In London, songwriter Tom Daly falls in love at first sight with a beautiful blonde he spies while at a traffic stop, she the inspiration for his latest song, what would become his and his father's music publishing company's most popular. He has no idea that she is Pamela Berne, the sister of an old friend, Harry Berne, and the daughter of Oliver Berne, the New York businessman who was planning on a merger with Mr. Daly, that is until the unfortunate first encounter he had with Tom. He also has no idea that she is a spoiled and temperamental brat, throwing violent tantrums whenever she doesn't get her way, which is often. In finding Pamela and learning all these things about her, Tom still wants to marry her and write more songs for which she is the inspiration. Conversely, Mr. Berne and Harry want Pamela to marry Tom if only to get her out of their hair, while Pamela will have no part of a life with this stranger. As such, Harry, with Mr. Berne and Tom's blessing, comes up with a plan for Pamela to agree to marry Tom: they will pretend that Tom has been financing their life and is threatening to foreclose on their property, something that wouldn't be required if Pamela became Mrs. Daly. Pamela has no choice but to agree to marry Tom if only to maintain the lifestyle to which she is accustomed. The marriage and honeymoon become a battle of the wills between Tom and Pamela, the former who only wants a loving wife, and the latter who wants to get as far away from her husband as possible, she unaware that Tom truly does love her, and that she may truly love him in return.—Huggo
