Tre donne, Caroline, Gregg e April lasciano la provincia e giungono a New York dove trovano lavoro presso una casa editrice gestita da due dirigenti una donna e un uomo: lei, la signora Farrow (Joan Crawford), è una donna severa e rigida con le sue sottoposte; lui, il signor Shalimar, è un maturo dongiovanni. Ben presto le tre donne sapranno farsi valere nel lavoro, ma non saranno altrettanto fortunate nella vita sentimentale, dove avranno amori turbolenti.
