Three ambitious working girls of 1950s Manhattan share their secretarial work and later a home together: Gregg (Suzy Parker) is an aspiring actress whose director is using her; April (Diane Baker) is left pregnant and alone; and Caroline (Hope Lange) finds solace in the arms of an editor (Stephen Boyd). Together the three contend with romantic disappointments, office politics and the threat that their dreams for a fulfilling career will be cut short by marriage, children and inertia.
