She is the chauffeur-chasing American heiress who keeps a sports-car engine in her bedroom, a collection of slinky bizarrities in her closet. To go auto racing with Chauffeur Glenn Ford, she slips into a pink bareback space suit; for alfresco breakfasting, Hope is a thing with feathers -blue ostrich plumes on a polka-dot peignoir.

Juliet (Doris Day) is a bareback rider. A cruel fate divides them. His father (Dean Jagger) owns a circus, her father (Jimmy Durante) owns a circus-and the circuses are rivals.
