Plot summary edit
A heartthrob singer, Tony Page, also known as "America's Boyfriend", decides to wed a Swedish actress. His manager doesn't want this because he is afraid of Tony losing female fans, so he takes up a $300,000 insurance policy if Tony does in fact wed. Tony soon meets a girl named June Delaney on a bus who doesn't swoon over him like other girls. He falls for her but doesn't know her true identity.
