Journalist Bernard Lawrence has devised the ideal plan for bachelor happiness. Engaged to three air hostesses he contrives to keep each unaware of the others' existence by split-second timing and careful manipulation of their varying flight schedules. And then the girls are transferred to new, faster flights...
This is only the beginning of Tony Curtis's troubles in this film version of the famous stage success, with friend who, discovering the secret of the three fiancees, devises an ingenious plan of his own!
