Having only tied the knot with society aviator, King Westley, Ellie Andrews is whisked off to her daddy's yacht and outside of King's clutches. Ellie winds up up aboard a bus headed straight back to her spouse and jumps ship. She has to accept the help of out-of- functioning reporter. Actually, Warne doesn't provide choice -- either she sticks with him until he puts her back to her spouse, or he will blow the whistle on Ellie to her. Either way, Peter gets what he wants--a newspaper story.
