The Guilt of Janet Ames
War widow Janet Ames (Rosalind Russell) is struck by a car, and later her doctors suspect she may have been attempting suicide. A note in her pocket lists five men whom her husband died saving in battle, and they are contacted to help Janet's recovery. The first man on the list, jaded reporter Smitty Cobb (Melvyn Douglas), is offended when Janet says she hopes to prove her husband died in vain to save five worthless men, and offers to "introduce" Janet to each of the men through hypnotism.

Desperate to win the position, Marsha arranges a fake marriage to Alexander (Gig Young), even though she still has feelings for Peter (Robert Cummings), her ex-husband. Marsha and Alexander -- and Marsha and Peter -- soon find themselves in a series of compromising situations.
