Greg,
a freelance photographer, is chased from a California beach into the surf by
a Great Dane. When Greg emerges from the freezing water, Bernice, the
dog's owner, takes him to her house to dry out. As a result of the
escapade, Greg develops a high fever and is obliged to stay on as a
houseguest for five days.
Greg finally returns to his own place, however,
but learns from his landlady that Bernice has moved all of his things into
her house. His life becomes even more complicated when he lands two
jobs for the same hours in the same building. By carefully arranging
his coffee breaks and lunch hours, he manages to circulate back and forth
and please both bosses, the informal Mike Lansdown and the straitlaced
Penlow.
Though Bernice rents a house for Greg, she fakes a serious
illness so that she may become his temporary tenant. Despite the
girl's eccentric behavior, Greg eventually realizes that he has fallen in
love with her. Disconcerted, now that their relationship has become
serious, Bernice disappears; but her friend Harry leads Greg to find her on
the beach, where they are reunited. |
