Polly Baxter (Irene Dunne) and her husband Phil (Dean Jagger) manage their household finances like trapeze artists. Thanks to Phil’s meager income they swing from week to week, reaching only for the essential, flying by the desirable and letting go of everything else, hoping that when they do fall there’s a net to catch them. Their little daughter Midge is forced to wear worn out shoes, older child Flip can’t afford the movies, and their eldest, Diane (Joan Evans) is embarrassed to go to the school dance because she can’t afford a new dress.
