 The story of a dress and the effects it has on the women who wear it begs the question of where is O.Henry when he is needed. "Nude at Midnight", a new and daring Paris style creation is worn by Gogo Mantaine (Eva Gabor, still trying to catch up with her sister Zsa Zsa) to try and ensnare the Rajah of Kim-Kepore (Tom Conway) but he is attracted to Lisa (Laurette Luez), the girl who modeled the dress. Marion Parmelee (Marilyn Maxwell) dons the gown to charm her husband s retiring (as in quitting) boss, Patrick James Sullivan (Cecil Kellaway), into letting her husband, Jack Parmelee (Robert Bice) take over the business, but the boss  wife Nora (Florence Bates), who really runs the business, has other ideas. The same model dress is worn by Betty Barnes (Paulette Goddard), in an effort to attract her boss, lawyer Edgar Blevins (Leif Erickson), who is married to a dowdy wife, Cora (Gloria Christian), but the wife turns up wearing the same dress. Marta Jensen (Barbara Lawrence) uses the dress to inveigle her reluctant sweetheart, Charlie Johnson (Robert Hutton) into a marriage proposal. Since she also attracts the Rajah, her options expand.
