Johnny Jones (Lamarr), a native of Vienna, Austria who escaped after its Anschluss, is having an affair with the married Barton Kendrick (Ian Hunter), a publisher. One night an officer from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement finds her and tells her that she will be deported because her temporary passport expired three months ago. The investigator tells her that if she can be married within a week, she can stay.
