The story

thumb|left|upright|William Holden and Judy Holliday in a promotional still for Born Yesterday Bullying, uncouth junkyard tycoon Harry Brock checks into a hotel suite in Washington, D.C., with his brassy girlfriend, former showgirl Emma "Billie" Dawn, and his crooked lawyer, Jim Devery, to "influence" a politician or two. As a legal precaution, Devery presses Harry to marry Billie, as a wife cannot be forced to testify against her husband. To hide and safeguard Harry's assets from the government, Devery persuades Harry to sign over many of his assets to the reliably docile and unquestionably obedient Billie.
