Plot
Storyline
A pinup artist (Ronald Reagan) in search of the perfect woman poses as a Czech immigrant to win over a shapely schoolteacher (Virginia Mayo) who’s more into facts than figures.
Glamour artist Bob Randolph is world famous for his paintings of a stunning beauty dubbed "The Randolph Girl". What the world doesn't know is that his pin-up creation is really a composite of parts of the anatomy of 12 different models. In an effort to find one girl who possesses all the proper physical attributes, Randolph and PR man Chuck Donovan pursue Ruth Wilson, a beauteous schoolteacher who prefers to be admired for her brain rather than her curves. Ruth changes her tune, however, when a published photo of her in a swimsuit causes her to be fired by the uptight school board. She sues for reinstatement and in the process learns that swimsuits and sex appeal do have a place in her world after all.
