Two of the screen's leading stars, Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, were cast in this story about a spoiled heiress, tired of her father's control, who rebels and runs away from both her father and her new husband. Gable stars as a hungry reporter, looking for a great story, who stumbles across the runaway heiress and accompanies her on her "road-trip" back to New York. Along the way, the two have some adventures and fall in love with each other. The film was a huge success for the fledgling Columbia Pictures, and was the first film to sweep the five major Oscars including Best Actor, Actress, Picture, Director, and Screenplay.
