Богатая светская львица Мелса Ментон возвращается с костюмированной вечеринки в предутренние часы, когда видит выбегающего из соседнего пустующего особняка богатого банкира знакомого мужчину, который ее даже не замечает. Любопытство пересиливает и Мелса заходит в дом, где натыкается на труп. Девушка в ужасе сбегает, оставив свою накидку. Приехавшая через 10 минут полиция, видя как одета девушка, слушая ее путанную речь, и зная ее сумасбродную репутацию, мало ей верит, но что более важно — в доме не обнаружено трупа. Редактор газеты Питер Эймс считает, что это последний инцидент еще одна шутка из серии шалостей, на которые способна веселая девушка и ее подруги и пишет о них статью, полную сарказма. Взбешенная Мелса врывается в редакцию и объявляет о своем намерении подать в суд за клевету. Питер очарован взрывной энергией девушки и решает, что он на ней женится. А Мелса и ее подруги решают самостоятельно предпринять расследование и найти убийцу, для того чтобы защитить свою репутацию.
