Summary
Ann Martin, a spirited young woman, finds her substantial $6 million inheritance tethered to an archaic, restrictive clause: she must marry a man approved by her two notoriously fastidious spinster aunts. Their relentless disapproval of every suitor Ann presents pushes her to a desperate, if pragmatic, solution. She orchestrates a marriage of convenience with a shy hotel clerk, intending a swift divorce once the inheritance is secured. However, this cynical plan falters when the clerk, unexpectedly smitten, refuses to be a mere pawn. The plot thickens with the arrival of a second clerk, introduced by her well-meaning cousin, leaving Ann entangled in a complex romantic triangle. As Ann realizes genuine affection for the first clerk, her aunts remain unyielding. Driven to the brink, she resorts to an audacious, morally ambiguous scheme: hiring two professional charmers to strategically compromise her aunts, hoping scandal will force their hand and pave the way for her true love and her fortune.
Ann Martin will inherit $6 million if she marries a man her two spinster aunts approve of, but so far, her aunts haven't approved of any man she knows. Ann tries to get a bashful hotel clerk to marry her in name only and then get a divorce, but he refuses to because he is in love with her. Her cousin then brings in another clerk and Ann now has two men on her hands. Ann wants to marry the first clerk, having discovered she also loves him, but the aunts object. She then hires two gigolos to charm her aunts into a compromising situation.
