A lighthearted romantic drama starring Cary Grant & Irene Dunne as a couple who meet, fall in love, quarrel and reunite. While listening to a recording of"Penny Serenade", Julie Gardiner Adams (Irene Dunne) begins reflecting on her past. She recalls her spontaneous marriage to paper reporter Roger Adams (Cary Grant), that commences a deliriously content note but ends up to be filled with tragedy. Other songs remind her from these courtship, their union, their appetite to have a youngster, and also the joys and sorrows they have shared. A flood of memories come back to her since she ponders on their present troubles and how they arose.
