 Joan Lyons (Virginia Weidler) and her friend Patricia Drew (Jean Porter) are autograph hounds spending most of their day bumping into, and having tea, with the likes of Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Based on misinformation from a meddling old-maid governess, Miss Featherstone (Agnes Moorehead), Joan also devotes some time to working on the no-problem marriage of her parents (Marta Linden and Edward Arnold) to the extent of hiring Dr. Hercules (John Carroll), the strong man from a side show to pay attention to her mother in order to make her father jealous, despite the good advice received from Walter Pidgeon.
