Caroline Band (Hope Lange) is a recent college graduate working in New York. She takes a secretary position at Fabyan Publishing Company, where she meets fellow secretaries Greg Adams (Suzy Parker) and April Morrison (Diane Baker). Both Greg and April like Caroline, so they invite her to move into their apartment, and the three girls live together. Caroline's boss Amanda Farrow (Joan Crawford) suspects that Caroline intends to take her position, so she constantly makes things difficult for her. However, Caroline plans to marry her boyfriend Eddie Harris (Brett Halsey) as soon as he returns from Europe, then resign from the company to fully embrace the life of a housewife. Unfortunately, Eddie marries another woman while in Europe, leaving Caroline heartbroken and forcing her to throw herself into work, complicating her relationship with editor Mike Less (Stephen Boyd). April is an innocent girl who faces sexual harassment from her boss Mr. Shalimar (Brian Aherne) when she joins the company, yet she oddly becomes friends with him. Later, she meets wealthy heir Dexter Key (Robert Evans) and starts dating him, dreaming of building a life together, only to realize she has made a poor choice. Greg is determined to become an actress and serendipitously meets director David Savage (Louis Jourdan), with whom she starts a romance. With Savage's help, she believes she can focus on her acting career and then quits her secretary job, not realizing that she has set the stage for her own misfortune.
