Wealthy department-store mogul Whitfield Savory II buys a statue of
Venus for $200,000. He plans to exhibit it in the store. Eddie Hatch, a
window dresser, kisses the statue on a whim. To his shock, Venus comes to life. She leaves the store and Eddie is accused of stealing the work of art. Nobody believes the truth, including Savory's right-hand woman, Molly Stewart, and Kerrigan, a detective he hires. Venus turns up at Eddie's apartment, forcing him to hide her from girlfriend Gloria and roommate Joe. Entranced by a Venus song of love, Joe falls for Eddie's girl Gloria. At the store, meanwhile, Venus has fallen asleep on a sofa and is discovered there by Whitfield, who is instantly smitten. Kerrigan decides it's time for Eddie to be placed under arrest for the statue's theft. To rescue Eddie, Venus leads Whitfield on, but a threat by Molly to leave him causes him to realize it's Molly he truly loves. Venus is called home by
Jupiter and must return to
Mount Olympus, so she returns to her pedestal. Whitfield can now display his work of art to the public. Eddie is the only one left alone, at least until he meets a new salesgirl who is a
dead ringer for the goddess of love. ==Cast==
