Sabrina Fairchild is in love with David Larrabee, but he, the heir to a business empire, doesn't notice her because she is merely the daughter of his family's chauffeur.  After a failed suicide attempt, Sabrina is sent to Paris to learn cookery.  She returns to her Long Island home a changed woman, more assertive, self-confident and determined to get her man.  Unfortunately, David is now engaged to the daughter of another business tycoon, as part of a stratagem devised by his older brother, Linus, to smooth the way for a merger with another company.    Realising that Sabrina threatens his schemes by pursuing David, Linus decides to distract her by courting her himself...
