When American diplomat William Gridley (Lemmon) arrives in London, he rents part of Carly Hardwicke's (Novak) house from her and promptly begins to fall in love. Gridley doesn't know that many people think she killed Miles Hardwick, her British husband, as he has disappeared, but without a body, the police can do nothing. Gridley's boss, the American ambassador (Astaire), learns about it and doesn't take this "lapse of judgment" lightly. Since Carly is also American, Gridley saves his job by introducing her to the ambassador, who is promptly smitten and promises to help her. When a Scotland Yard detective arrives, wanting to get to the truth one way or another, they say they'll help him without letting Carly know they are investigating her.

Carly escapes prosecution due to the eyewitness testimony of her crippled neighbor's private nurse LESS
