Honest, straightforward small-town Shirlee Kenyon chucks her boyfriend and heads for Chicago. When a misunderstanding has her hosting a radio phone-in advice show, it is clear that she is a natural and she is hired on the spot. But the station insists that she call herself Doctor, and as her popularity grows, a local reporter starts digging for the truth. The problem is, the more he is around her, the more he fancies her.
