The story
Rival London-based American newspaper correspondents Michael "Mike" Anthony and Barnabas "Barney" Pells flip a coin to determine who will cover which of two boring assignments. Mike gets to cover the wedding of millionairess Sally Parker to fortune-seeking Prince Igor, while Barney has to interview aviator Baron Otto Spandermann and his wife, Baroness Hilda. When Mike sees Sally running out of the church, he follows her, hoping to get a story.
