Woman Chases Man

Starving but talented architect Virginia Travis, unable to break through the glass ceiling, approaches B.J. Nolan, to work on his latest project, a housing development, Nolan Heights. What Virginia is unaware of is that B.J. is broke, with process servers camping outside his office to take legal action on his debts, and as such Nolan Heights is only a pipe dream for B.J. and, by association, Virginia as her big break. However, she further learns that B.J.'s son Kenneth is a millionaire, B.J.'s now deceased wife gave all of her wealth to conservative Kenneth to save B.J. from himself in having lost money on screwball schemes, regardless of the fact that he also made money on some of those schemes, all his wealth which he has now squandered away. B.J. views Nolan Heights as different, not a scheme but rather something that will not only make money but provide a social good. As such, Virginia is able to convince B.J. to embark on a somewhat underhanded plan to get Kenneth to invest in Nolan Heights, Kenneth will soon be arriving home after a trip to Europe and the plan involves Virginia introducing herself to Kenneth as B.J.'s friend who is looking after the house while B.J. is away on business - B.J. hiding in the house so that he can provide information to Virginia as need be - with the two co-opting Virginia's equally penniless friends, recently married couple Hunk and Judy, to masquerade as the new household servants as B.J. had had to let all the real households servants go. Kenneth brings home with him a female companion, Nina Tennyson, and her French uncle, Henri Saffron. What Kenneth does not know is that Nina is a gold-digger, Henri really her lover, and Nina is just waiting for Kenneth to ask her to marry him before she and Henri abscond with his money. Further complications ensue after Virginia falls in love with Kenneth herself, and she ends up wanting Kenneth to invest in the project solely on its merits rather than in getting him to agree in an underhanded way.
