When William Gridley arrives from the US in London, he rents part of Carly Hardwickes house from her and promptly begins to fall in love. Gridley doesnt know that many people think she killed her husband but his boss, on the American embassy staff, knows and doesnt take this "lapse of judgment" lightly. Since Carly is also American, Gridley saves his job by introducing her to his boss, who is promptly smitten and promises to help her. So when a Scotland Yard detective arrives, wanting to get to the truth one way or another, they say theyll help him. And then the comedic complications really begin.
Bill Gridley has just arrived in London to take up his post at the U.S. Embassy. Hes also found what he thinks is the perfect apartment: reasonable rent, a fashionable address and a very pretty landlady in the form of Mrs. Carly Hardwicke, whose husband seems to be absent. Unbeknown to him, Carly is under suspicion of having killed her husband. When his boss Franklyn Ambruster realizes what hes done, he contacts Scotland Yard and they press Bill to report on her activities. He takes her out to dinner and causes quite a stir as Carly is easily recognizable, having been recent fodder in the tabloid press. Theyre clearly falling in love but she is worried about the effect the bad publicity might have on him. Bill doesnt give up so easily.
