Anne Crandall (Dunne) inherited the position of mayor of a small Vermont town after her husband's death. Father-in-law Jonathan (Coburn) wants Anne to remarry and when a statue of Anne's husband is damaged, he sends her to New York to meet with sculptor Corday (Boyer), who mistakes Anne for his new (nude) model. Further mistaken impressions and romantic complications ensue when Corday follows Anne back to Vermont.
