Storyline

When a newspaper runs a scandalous story about debutante Connie Allenbury (Esther Williams), her powerful broker father threatens the paper's owner, Warren Haggerty (Keenan Wynn), with a massive lawsuit. Warren believes that, if he can prove Connie truly is a home-wrecker, as the article claims, he can file a countersuit against her. Warren then enlists his own fiancee (Lucille Ball) and reporter Bill Chandler (Van Johnson) to take part in a complex plan to turn the tables on the Allenburys.

Short Review

A remake of Libeled Lady stars Van Johnson, Esther Williams, and Lucille Ball. I loved it albeit the ending still doesn't quite make sense.
