Jimmy Smith, a millionaire due to his Bible publishing business, is married to the overly frugal Sue. Jimmy and Sue want to teach their ward, Nanette, to be a respectable young lady. Nanette has an untapped wild side and wants to have some fun in Atlantic City. She is being pursued by Tom Trainor. With so much income at his disposal, Jimmy decides to become the benefactor for three beautiful women (Betty from Boston, Winnie from Washington, and Flora from San Francisco), but soon realizes his good intentions are bound to get him in trouble, as the women are now blackmailing him for more money. He enlists his lawyer friend and Tom's uncle, Billy, to help him discreetly ease the girls out of his life. Billy agrees, and suggests that Jimmy take refuge in Philadelphia. He decides to take Tom and meet the three ladies in the Smith's Atlantic City home, Chickadee Cottage. Sue and Lucille, Billy's wife, hearing that both their husbands will be away on business, decide to also take a vacation to the cottage. Finally, Jimmy hears of Nanette's desire to see Atlantic City. Instead of going to Philadelphia, he agrees to take her to Chickadee Cottage, with the grumpy maid, Paulene, acting as Nanette's chaperone.

In Atlantic City, everyone meets at once. Tom and Nanette fantasize about being happily married one day. Sue overhears Billy speaking to the women and assumes that he is having an affair with them; trouble ensues. Sue tells Lucille of Billy's supposed unfaithfulness and Billy, to divert suspicion of Jimmy's involvement, does not deny it. Sue also finds out that Nanette came to Atlantic City against her wishes, which causes Tom and Nanette to quarrel and Nanette and Paulene to leave for New York. Jimmy finally pays off the ladies, and, feeling sorry for Lucille, they explain everything: Billy was not cheating on her, and neither was Jimmy. Nanette and Paulene, unable to catch a train to New York, return to the cottage, where Tom and Nanette make up and agree to marry. The show ends with a party, where Sue wows Jimmy with a fancy dress and a final dance number.
