Charles Coburn plays J.P. Merrick, the Bill Gates of his day. When Merrick discovers an effigy of himself hanging outside a department store he didn't even know he owned, he curiously ventures inside and becomes a clerk in order to investigate further. Naturally, the view from street level brings a new perspective and romance.
Jean Arthur plays Mary Jones, a shoe saleswoman who becomes Coburn's coworker and liaison to the world of the common man. The double-date sequence at Coney Island immortalizes the infamous beach in its masses of flesh and general bedlam.
