Elizabeth Lane is a single New York girl writing regular columns about her fictitious Connecticut home, husband and baby - columns which are much admired by housewives across the country. Her publisher, unaware that she's an all round fraud, insists that she and her 'husband' host a dinner for returning war hero Jeff Jones, who is a big fan of her 'recipes'. Can she pull off a fake marriage to a friend who owns a rural property in Connecticut, arrange a baby and coerce her friend Chef Felix Bassenak - the source of her recipes - into helping out? Not to mention baby-swaps, a night in jail for accidentally stealing a horse and sleigh and falling in love with the returned war hero, all of which make for plenty of seasonal merriment. Also starring Sydney Greenstreet, S.Z. 'Cuddles' Sakall and Una O'Connor. -

When nature finally complies, a pious monk is sent to pay the rent - and is found murdered beside the hacked-down rose-bush.
