People Will Talk describes an episode in the life of Dr. Noah Praetorius (Cary Grant), a physician who teaches in a medical school and founded a clinic dedicated to treating patients humanely and holistically. The plot contains two parallel story lines: a professional-misconduct challenge brought against Praetorius by his more conventional colleague Dr. Rodney Elwell (Hume Cronyn), who dislikes Praetorius's unorthodox but effective methods; and the struggle of a distressed young woman named Deborah Higgins (Jeanne Crain), who falls in love with Praetorius while dealing with an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. The film also highlights Praetorius's close friend and confidant, physics professor Lyonel Barker (Walter Slezak), who plays bass viol in the student/faculty orchestra conducted by Praetorius.

Lord Arthur Cavershoot consacre sa vie avec un dévouement complet à ses travaux sur Napoléon Bonaparte. Mais il ne néglige pas son épouse qui porte justement le nom de Josephine. Lorsque Cavershoot se rend à Paris pour assister à une conférence de spécialistes de Napoléon, il fait la connaissance de Madeleine, une jeune danseuse. À cause d'une série de circonstances malheureuses, le Daily Mail publie une photo où ils sont tous les deux et titre "Lord Cavershoot montre sa charmante fille de la nuit parisienne". Pour échapper à la colère de sa femme et éviter la suspicion de l'infidélité, Cavershoot présente la jeune femme en Angleterre comme sa fille illégitime. Mais contrairement à ce qu'il pensait, Lady Cavershoot accueille Madeleine cordialement, ce qui ne lui plaît pas du tout. En fin de compte, l'amateur de Napoléon connaît son Waterloo et va avec Josephine à Paris afin d'adopter réellement Madeleine comme leur fille.

Helen Bartlett (Carole Lombard) is the wife of the honest lawyer Ken (Fred MacMurray). She is a "writer" but cannot think of anything to write and instead lives in her fantasy world of telling lies. When she discovers that they are broke, she attempts to get Ken to take a case of a man who stole hams. Ken, who is scrupulously honest and will not defend a client who is guilty, finds out that the man really did steal the hams, and therefore does not take the case. Helen is forced to get a job as a secretary for businessman Otto Krayler (John T. Murray), a family friend. On her first day in his sumptuous apartment/office, he attempts to seduce Helen, which causes Helen to quit the job. However, she discovers that she accidentally left her hat and coat behind. She returns with her friend Daisy McClure (Una Merkel) only to find that Otto Krayler has been killed and $12,000 of missing money is the supposed motive. Police lieutenant Darcey (Edgar Kennedy) suspects Helen and take her into custody. To further complicate her situation, Helen spins multiple possible accounts of the murder, discussing how she might have done it in each scenario, but finally says that she had nothing to do with it.
