Synopsis: Rich heiress Ellie Andrews has married against her father’s wishes and manages to get away from him by jumping off the family yacht in Florida. While her father annuls the marriage and hires a detective agency to track her down, she tries to make her way back to her lover, socialite aviator “King” Westley in New York City. Travelling by bus, she meets unemployed journalist Peter Warne—cynical, but charismatic. He’s quickly onto her real identity and it’s pretty obvious that she’s a spoiled brat. She has no money and he decides to help her get to New York thinking he’ll get a good story out of it. Nearing their destination, as their brief adventure comes to a close, they find that they are reluctantly in love with each-other and are afraid to admit it.
