The story

thumb|upright=1.25|Monroe as Pola, Grable as Loco, and Bacall as Schatze Resourceful Schatze Page, ditzy Loco Dempsey, and near-sighted Pola Debevoise are three women on a mission: each wants to marry a millionaire. To accomplish this task, they rent a luxurious Sutton Place penthouse in New York City from Freddie Denmark (who is avoiding the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by living in Europe) and together hatch a plot to court the city's elite. On the day they move in, Loco arrives with Tom Brookman, who had purchased her groceries for her because she "forgot her pocketbook".
