When the aging researcher falls for young theatre actress Carolyn Coates, everybody in New York – even Baxter – is surprised when the beautiful socialite, in turn, falls in love with him. After a three year absence in Vienna, where he has been conducting secret research, Baxter returns to America to find that his woman has abandoned him for a handsome tennis player, Alan Brody.
