À Rome, au début de l'année 69, l'empereur vieillissant Galba, faute d'héritier, doit choisir son successeur entre les sénateurs Pison et Othon. Ce dernier, naguère favori de l'empereur précédent Néron, cherche l'appui du consul Vinius qui consent à le soutenir s'il suit sa stratégie en demandant d'abord la main de Camille, la nièce de Galba, plutôt que celle de sa fille Plautine dont il est épris. Othon accepte au moment où Galba choisit Pison et lui donne sa nièce pour femme. Mais l'armée se rebelle contre Galba et c'est Othon qui est proclamé empereur sans être contraint d'épouser qui que ce soit.

The setting is San Francisco; Joey Evans (Frank Sinatra) is a second-rate singer, a heel known for his womanizing ways (calling women "mice"), but charming and funny. When Joey meets Linda English (Kim Novak), a naive chorus girl, he has stirrings of real feelings. However, that does not stop him from romancing a former flame and ex-stripper (Joey says, "She used to be 'Vera...with the Vanishing Veils'"), now society matron Vera Prentice-Simpson (Rita Hayworth), a wealthy, willful, and lonely widow, in order to convince her to finance his dream, "Chez Joey", a night club of his own.
