Synopsis

[edit]

A businessman thinks that all women are frivolous creatures only interested in clothes, make-up and perfume. He decides to fire all his women employees including his secretary Ruth Barton who warns him he will come to regret it. Finding himself at a loss, he turns to her for advice over business deals, but she makes him pay a great deal for it. Finally she intercepts a major order and directs it towards a rival firm. He is forced to concede defeat and agrees to her demand to let all the women return to their jobs, discovering in the process that he is in love with Ruth.
