In Budapest, Hungary,
Matuschek and Company’s store is owned by Mr. Hugo Matuschek (Frank Morgan) and
the bachelor Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) is his best and most experienced
salesman.
But everything seems
to go awry when Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan) is hired by Mr Matuschek, but
from the first moment Kralik and she do not get along.
Over the weeks that
follows the lonely and dedicated Kralik has an unknown pen pal and through
their correspondence he falls in love with her and intends to propose to her.
However simultaneously
his relationship with his employer deteriorates and he is fired without
explanation by Mr Matuschek on the night that he is going to meet his secret
love and propose.
He goes to the bar
that night regardless where they have scheduled their meeting with his colleague
Pirovitch (Felix Bressart) and he surprisingly finds that Klara is his
correspondent, he chooses not disclose his identity to her because he feels
ashamed after being sacked.
But following a shocking
incident, Matuschek has a change of heart and hires him back again but this
time to manage the shop.
However as Klara is
still fascinated with her correspondent she pays little or no attention to
Alfred so it would take all his guile and cunning to work out a plan to reveal himself
to Klara's who his is.
But anything is
possible, it is Christmas after all and everyone loves a happy ending.
