- A reporter is assigned to write a story about a woman who has left a string of fiancés at the altar.
- New York columnist Ike Graham elaborates, for once without full-fact checking, the story he heard from a bar-mate about small-town Maryland girl Maggie Carpenter, who left several grooms at the altar, taking off without warning or serious reason. Fearing a legal case from Maggie, Ike's editor and ex Ellie fires him. Staff buddy Fisher cues Ike to seek his job back (or earn another) by attempting to prove the alleged inaccuracies and/or writing a priceless follow-up piece. So his sports-car heads for her home in Hale, Maryland, where she runs a garage and designs glassware. His charm and journalistic nose get everyone to open up and reveal her embarrassing past before she can swear people to silence, from her family and three dumped grooms to her overconfident present groom, high-school coach Bob Kelly. In the process, Maggie finds hating Ike tempting but difficult, while Ike develops a strange appreciation for the maverick, until even Bob sees reason to get jealous.—KGF Vissers
- New York columnist Ike Graham always writes his columns at the last minute. This time, a drunken man in his favorite bar tells him about Maggie Carpenter, a woman who always flees from her grooms at the last possible moment. Ike, who hasn't the best opinion of females anyway, writes an offensive column without researching the subject thoroughly. The next day, Ike is fired by his publisher and ex-wife because he went too far and faked the facts, which genuine journalists never do. His only way back into the business now is to do a fact-based report on Maggie and her upcoming fourth wedding attempt, which Ike predicts to fail again. As he circles her like a vulture, his prey-to-be's opinion of him sinks below zero. Not only is Ike waiting for Maggie to fail again, but the whole town is poking fun at her about her mistakes. But that is a point which Ike doesn't like.—Julian Reischl <julianreischl@mac.com>
