Although they still seem to love each other, New York sophisticates Lucy and Jerry Warriner don’t feel they can trust the other any more based on what appears on the surface of their marriage, despite each vowing that what they state, contrary to appearance, is the truth. As such, they decide to get a divorce, they, however, still needing to see each other based on visitation rights for Mr. Smith, aka Smitty, their pet terrier. With two months to go before the divorce becomes final, Lucy doesn’t seem too anxious to replace Jerry with any other man, until she meets Dan Leeson, an Oklahoma oil baron, who she agrees to marry, largely as he represents the antithesis of Jerry. And based on that mistrust in their marriage, Jerry gets engaged to snobbish socialite Barbara Vance. However, each eventually comes to the conclusion that they still love each other and try, without directly saying so and without the other knowing, to get back together. The questions become whether they will come to this conclusion at the same time, and if so if it will happen before they are no longer man and wife in sixty days.

尽管露西和杰瑞·沃里纳似乎仍然彼此相爱，但纽约的世故人士露西和杰瑞·沃里纳觉得，从他们婚姻表面上看，他们再也不能信任对方了，尽管他们都发誓，他们所说的与外表相反的是事实。因此，他们决定离婚，然而，根据他们的宠物狗史密斯先生的探视权，他们仍然需要见面。离离婚还有两个月，露西似乎并不急于用其他男人取代杰瑞，直到她遇到了丹·利森，一位俄克拉荷马州的石油大亨，她同意与他结婚，因为他在很大程度上代表了杰瑞的对立面。基于对他们婚姻的不信任，杰瑞与势利的社交名媛芭芭拉·万斯订婚。然而，双方最终都得出结论，他们仍然爱着对方，并在对方不知道的情况下，不直接说出来，试着重新走到一起。现在的问题是，他们是否会同时得出这个结论，如果会的话，在60天内他们不再是夫妻之前，这是否会发生。-雨果
