In the 1870s, Cynthia Pilgrim (Betty Grable) graduates at the top of her New York City typewriting class. When she moves to Boston to work for a shipping company, she finds that her office is an old boys club run by an outspoken sexist, Mr. Saxon (Gene Lockhart). At first, company co-owner John Pritchard (Dick Haymes) is unsure if Cynthia will be able to cut it, but she proves to be a valuable worker. However, John is bothered by Cynthia's involvement in the women's suffrage movement.
