Martin Co., forthright twenty-two year old Bobby Halevy and twenty-five year old Rims Rosson, who has his head in the clouds in coming up with one useless invention after another, fall in love and get married. The marriage is despite Bobby treating this, her first job, as an experience like everything she does and not as a means to become a "Mrs." like many other women, such as her colleague Gert Mills, seem to do. And on the advice of her older game-playing married sister Florrie Sands, Bobby also resorted to "tricks", so unlike the way she usually acts, to get Rims to marry her instead of he accepting his dream job in the Philippines to pursue one of his more practical invention ideas. Although they love each other, Bobby and Rims hit one hurdle after another as wife and husband, those hurdles largely outside of their control. As such, Bobby has to decide what to do to bring happiness back into her and Rims' lives, those actions which may make her resort to further games. Beyond having Florrie and her husband Willie Sands and her parents' own marriages as examples, each couple who truly loves each other despite their own problems, Bobby will also have the direct advice of both Florrie and her father Henry Halevy, a bookkeeper at Martin who has always had his own special thoughts of what he has wanted for his youngest daughter.
