Stock market tycoon James Garner (as Cash McCall) pursues pretty children's book illustrator Natalie Wood (as Lory). Previously, they had something of a summer romance, when Ms. Wood's character fell hopelessly and head over heels for Mr. Garner (as you will surely notice in the character's demeanor). Older divorcée Nina Foch (as Maude Kennard) is also hot for the "Maverick" TV star. Complicating matters, Wood is the daughter of businessman Dean Jagger (as Grant Austen), who owns the "Austen Plastics" company Garner hopes to acquire. The cast, color, and sets are attractive - but, the story is amazingly obvious, and dully performed by the co-starring couple.
Listen up for Garner to tell the General he's "up the well-known creek without a paddle."
