Peter Donay (Philip Dorn) is the not so happy owner of the Café Donay, which is a fancy road side establishment somewhere in between Reno and Lake Tahoe in Nevada. His marriage isn’t what it should be and he has a gambling addiction. One day he meets the curvy night club waitress Sally Murfin (Gloria Grahame), who really is a lot more interested in Peter’s money and business than anything else. Peter’s wife, Delilah (Mary Astor), knows about her husband's love affair, and is determined to get rid of Sally by tricking her that there is no money to be had from Peter, by telling Sally about the gambling and lying about the business being poor. Her plan doesn’t work, and instead Delilah tries to split them up by hiring Sally’s beau Freddie Bilson (Marshall Thompson) as a waiter and let him stay above their garage. Her plan goes to waste, when Sally overhears that Peter is the winner of $40,000 in a lottery. Now Sally is more determined to lay her hands on Peter. Sallys’s advances on Peter makes Freddie very jealous and outraged, and eventually Freddie pulls a gun on Peter and threatens to shoot him. Peter confesses that he and Sally are in love and to be married, and Delilah asks Peter for a divorce, asking him for the $40,000 lottery ticket as her lot in the settlement. Peter refuses at first, but eventually he gives in and gives her the money. Full of regret, he then tells Sally’s friend Johnny about his mistake, and that he wants his wife back. Sally is outraged when she hears about the settlement, and is more interested in Freddie, now that Delilah has bought him a new motorcycle. Sally disappears with Freddie, and Peter begs his wife Delilah for forgiveness, and gets it. It turns out she was bluffing about divorcing and leaving him all along, when her suitcase opens up as they kiss and make up, showing that it was empty. At the end of the movie Astor winks to the camera and smiles.

The President of the United States decides that the true cause of the Great Depression (raging when the film was released) is a loss of "optimism" as a result of a plot by financiers and bankers who are getting rich from the Depression. The President then appoints Lawrence Cromwell as secretary for the newly created Department of Amusement. Cromwell creates an army of entertainers and sends them out across the country. Much of the action centers around Cromwell auditioning acts in his office (with interruptions from janitor "George Bernard Shaw" played by Stepin Fetchit). At the end, as a musical production number breaks forth, Cromwell looks out of his office window and sees the Depression literally, instantaneously lift.
