- Three days before Christmas, newspaper reporter Barney Callahan regrets the drinking bout he went on the night before to celebrate his promotion to columnist. As Barney is lamenting not being able to get his first column in on time, his photographer, Snapper Doolan, assures Barney that he did write a column the night before while he was drunk. Barney's story details how he is the loneliest man in New York and is searching for the loneliest girl, with whom he would like to share an idyllic Christmas on an upstate farm. Barney is surprised by the response of his editor, J. B. Douglas, who thinks that the column is a winner and offers to let him use his own farm, complete with caretakers Mary and Ben Perkins, who will pose as Barney's aunt and uncle. Later that night at a "clip-joint," a nightclub in which hostesses persuade male customers to buy expensive drinks, hostess June White unhappily plies her trade while fending off the advances of the club's owner, Gus Brawley. June, who only works in the club to support her parents back home, reads Barney's column and dreams of spending an old-fashioned Christmas with him. June's roommate and co-worker Eunice warns June not to get any ideas about splitting with Brawley, as the last girl who did was killed. Brawley sends June back out on the floor, where she picks her next mark, the young and well-to-do Paul Randall. She steals Paul's wallet, and when he later complains, June witnesses Paul confront Brawley in Brawley's office. The club owner kills the youth and orders his henchman, Whitey Walker, to dispose of the body. The next morning, Whitey confides to June that he was driving all night, and June, anxious to get away, contacts Douglas about Barney's column. After Douglas chooses June, Barney meets her at the train station on the day before Christmas and they go to the farm. There they are greeted by the kindly Perkinses, and June blossoms under their care and Barney's solicitude. The next day, the couples open their presents, and after Barney goes to town to replace an ornament he has broken, June bakes a pie for him. While Barney is gone, however, Brawley arrives and orders June to return with him. Convinced that June has given the details of his organization to Barney, he tries to kill her. When frantic Barney finds her in the hospital soon after, he is disillusioned to find out that she is not the wholesome girl he believed she was. She agrees to testify against Brawley, but during the trial, changes her testimony and states that she knows nothing about Paul's murder. Barney is furious, although later she reveals that she perjured herself to get in good with Brawley so that she could discover where Whitey hid Paul's body. Following a clue provided by June, Barney and Snapper find the house in New Jersey where Whitey took the corpse and alert the police. Before the police arrive though, Brawley brings June to the house to kill her. Two elderly neighbors, Flora and Dora, help rescue June, and the police arrest Brawley. Later, with the past behind them and a bright future they can look forward to, June and Barney take the train to the farm to celebrate the new year.

- Author and actor Erich Remberg learns from his producer that his musical has been panned by the Viennese critics, who seem to prefer more romantic and less sexy productions these days. In order to find the inspiration to write an operetta, Erich goes with his friend Peppi to the von Keller castle in Tyrol. They are greeted by the eccentric Baron von Keller, who proudly shows them nonexistent antiques that only he can see. While investigating some strange noises he's heard in the middle of the night, Erich meets von Keller's daughter Loni, who is also curious about the room. She shows him a painting representing the Napoleonic invasion of Austria and tells him of her great-grandaunt, who scandalized the family. Erich imagines the scene with Loni playing the role of the baroness of the von Keller castle and himself as her French lover: Back in 1809, a French colonel insists on quartering at the von Keller home, and Loni dines with the invaders with reluctance. Lieutenant Pierre Laval approaches her later with romantic propositions, and she tells him that she will always be faithful to Augusto, an Austrian nobleman, who is away fighting the Napoleonic armies. However, she allows Pierre to woo her at a dance in the village, and when the French soldiers are ordered to retreat, Pierre chooses to stay behind with Loni. As the Austrians approach, Loni fears for Pierre's safety, and when Augusto and her father, the baron, arrive home, Pierre hides. Augusto proposes, but Loni is indifferent. Pierre disguises himself as the new butler and then convinces Loni to escape with him to the French encampment. The fleeing couple are caught trying to cross the Austrian lines, and Pierre reveals his true identity as one of Napoleon's men. Augusto orders Pierre's arrest, but two shots ring out, signaling a truce. The scene now shifts to a Viennese theatre, where Erich and Loni act out their roles in Erich's smash romantic musical. While taking their curtain calls, Erich and Loni joyfully announce their upcoming wedding to the audience.
- Young sailors Eddie Collins and Herb Gordon eagerly begin their shore leave in New York City, where they are greeted at the dock by Eddie's wife Kate. Kate, who is pregnant for the first time, is fearful about her condition, as her mother had problems in childbirth, and she tearfully tells Eddie that her regular doctor has joined the Army. Kate wants to be seen by noted doctor Edward Preston, but when Eddie goes to Preston's office, he is told by the secretary that Preston, who commands fees of up to one thousand dollars, is too busy to see new patients. Hoping that if he can obtain the fee, Preston will see Kate, Eddie tells his worried wife that Preston has already agreed to deliver their baby. Eddie, Kate and Herb then attend an airing of Phil Baker's famous Take It or Leave It radio show, in which contestants answer questions in an attempt to win sixty-four dollars. Eddie is chosen as a contestant, and after two other players drop out, gets his turn. He chooses "scenes from motion picture hits of the past" as his category and as the film clips are projected, correctly answers the first question about Shirley Temple. Baker quickly takes to the nervous young sailor, who reveals that he has a pregnant wife. As Eddie continues to answer questions about such films as Tin Pan Alley , Orchestra Wives and One in a Million , Baker gives him broad hints to help him and allows him to go above the usual limit on winnings. When Baker asks Eddie about his wife's doctor, Preston, who is listening with his wife, is stunned to hear his name, as his secretary did not inform him of Eddie's visit. Mrs. Preston chastises her husband for charging a serviceman so much money, but Preston insists that the radio program is fixed and that the Collinses are not real people. Eddie, who is about to answer a question for $384, is forced to stop when Kate goes into labor. Before leaving for the hospital, Eddie confesses to Baker that Preston is not really Kate's doctor, but that he lied to keep her from being frightened. Mrs. Preston asks her husband to attend Kate, but he instead leaves for a previously planned vacation. Mrs. Preston then calls Baker's show and states that she does not know where her husband is. Baker urges Preston to help the young couple, and Preston, who is listening to the show in a taxi, tells the driver to take him to the hospital. Preston arrives after the uncomplicated birth of Kate and Eddie's healthy son, but promises Eddie that he will look in on Kate. Baker announces to his audience that Eddie and Kate's son is doing well, then goes to the hospital to visit them. There, he learns that the infant has been named "Phil Baker Collins" in his honor. Herb then arrives and tells them that he and his girl friend, touched by Kate and Eddie's story, have decided to get married, and Baker laughingly tells him to have his babies on the radio show too.
