It's the annual mayors convention in San Francisco. Steve Fisk (Clark Gable) is a former longshoreman. Clarissa Standish (Loretta Young) is refined and booksmart. They are mayors with differing styles. Fire Chief Duggan (Frank Morgan) is selling fire engines at the convention. Sheila the "Atom Dancer" (Marilyn Maxwell) is a balloon teaser. Les Taggart (Raymond Burr) is a corrupt councilman trying to take down Fisk.
Clark Gable and Loretta Young have a love child in real life. They also have good chemistry on screen. They're fire and ice without breaking either side. As for the story, it is a series of mistaken assumptions and near-misses. It's fine rom-com.
