Gary Vincent, a famous novelist with political ambitions, is persuaded by his campaign manager to conceal his homosexuality by marrying his secretary, a lesbian. Gary finds, to his amazement, that he is closet heterosexual and he falls in love, not with his wife who has fallen in love with him, but with the young daughter of a political boss. His homosexual past comes to haunt him when his bride discovers his past.
