Summary
Bunny Watson heads up the research department at the Federal Broadcasting Company, a major TV network. Assigned by the network president to introduce computers into some of the department's functions, Richard Sumner arrives at Bunny's well-run division to observe daily activities. Unfortunately, however, Sumner is ordered to keep his mission secret. As a result, the whole staff believes they are being replaced. To make matters worse, there appears to be more than a little electricity between Bunny and Sumner, which upsets Bunny's boyfriend, Mike. As tension in the office mounts, so do the laughs in this classic romantic comedy.
