City slicker Benedict Laverton finds he has top billing at a country town's charity bachelor ball. To escape the ordeal, he persuades one of the organizers, single mother Rosy Scott, into bidding for him with his own money. That's fine, except Rosy experiences an acute adrenaline rush and doubles her bid to win the prize.
When she goes to the stage to claim her man, Rosy not only has to face Benedict's stunned disbelief that she's spent a cool $10,000 of his money, but she has to kiss him too - and properly! After their spectacular kiss, Rosy's adamant that anything more to do with Benedict would only end in tears, but Benedict has other ideas.
