Ike Graham, New York columnist, writes his text always at the last minute.
This time, a drunken man in his favourite bar tells Ike about Maggie
Carpenter, a woman who always flees from her grooms in the last possible
moment. Ike, who does not have the best opinion about females anyway,
writes an offensive column without researching the subject thoroughly. The
next day, Ike gets fired by his publisher (and former wife), because he went
too far and faked the facts, which real journalists don't do. Ike's only way
back into the business now is to do a fact-based report on Maggie and her
upcoming fourth wedding attempt, which Ike predicts to fail again. So, as he
circles her like a vulture his pray-to-be, Maggie's opinion of Ike sinks below
zero. Not only is Ike waiting for her to fail again but the whole town is poking
fun at Maggie about her mistakes. But that is a point which Ike doesn't like.
