A conniving father and daughter meet up with the heir to a brewery fortune - a wealthy but naïve snake enthusiast - and attempt to banboozle him at a cruise ship card table. Their plan is quicky abandoned when the daughter falls in love with their prey. But when the heir gets wise to her gold-digging ways, she must plot to re-conquer his heart. One of Sturges' most clever and beloved romantic comedies, 'The Lady Eve' balances broad slapstick and sophisticated sexiness with perfect grace.
