The wealthy, suave Philip and the virginal Cathy are at cross purposes. He just wants an affair, while she is holding out for marriage. Watching from the sidelines are Philip's conflicted assistant, Roger (Gig Young), who is guilt-ridden and seeing a therapist for helping his boss with his numerous conquests, and Cathy's cynical friend, Connie Emerson (Audrey Meadows), who knows just what Philip is after.

Philip wines and dines Cathy. He even takes her to see the New York Yankees play. They watch from an unusual vantage point, the Yankees dugout (he owns part of the team), and are thrown out, along with Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Yogi Berra (playing themselves), by an umpire for violating the rules.

After some relentless chasing by the rich, sophisticated Philip, Cathy finally succumbs and agrees to go on a trip to Bermuda with him, implicitly agreeing to intimacy. But conveniently or not (depending on one's perspective), she comes down with a possibly psychosomatic rash, much to her embarrassment and his frustration. The Bermuda trip is repeated due to Cathy's determination, but she fails once more. On this second occasion, Cathy precedes Philip to the island and drinks heavily to calm her nerves before he arrives. By the time he gets to the hotel, Cathy is very drunk and makes a complete fool of herself before Philip, eventually falling out of the window onto an awning below. Cathy's humiliation is rendered complete in the next scene, as she is carried in her pajamas through the crowded hotel lobby by two uniformed hotel staff members. With a nasally drunken slur, she orders them to return her to Philip's room, to a mixed reaction of shock and amusement by the very refined-looking spectators.

Cathy eventually wins this skirmish between the sexes and they get married. Ironically, on their honeymoon, he breaks out in a rash.
