A Dore Schary production

America is the land of opportunity - and while a young woman hasn't hope of becoming President, she can still go a long way up the political ladder. In this gay comedy Katrin, a first-generation American of Swedish descent, takes a job as a maid with the rich Morley family and falls in love with Congressman Glenn Morley. But they soon fall out politically - and when Katrin speaks her mind, she finds herself heading for Congress, too.
