Tracy Lord is headed down the isle...again. After a failed marriage with Dexter (Bing Crosby), Tracy (Grace Kelly) has found a brand new love in the form of the handsome and sturdy (though somewhat bland) George Kittredge (John Lund). Whilst there is a hurried and earnest preparation for the big day, all is not well in the House of Lord. Tracy's father Seth has left his wife and become involved with a showgirl. This has caused some embarrassment and much heartache for both Mrs. Lord and Tracy. This is compounded by the fact that the famous (infamous) magazine Spy is about to run an expose on the sexual exploits of Mr. Lord for all the nation to see. This is not exactly the type of exposure that the future Mrs. Kittredge would like to have, and Tracy's Uncle Willie might just have a way for the whole scandal to avoid the tabloids. To escape the terrible press that could mar the proceedings, it's proposed that a reporter and photographer from Spy should be sent to cover the society wedding of the year, all in exchange for the story of Seth Lord's infidelity going unpublished. While reluctant to allow the intrusive eye of the scandal sheet into her life, Tracy realizes that there is really little choice and reluctantly agrees to the press coverage.
Enter Mike Connor and Liz Imbrie (Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm) on the assignment of a lifetime. Star reporter and photographer for Spy Magazine, the pair are thrust into the heady world of privilege and wealth. Arriving at the home of Lords, Mike and Liz are immediately impressed with the opulence of their subject's surroundings. They are also struck with the outlandish and bizarre behaviour of Tracy Lord. Irritated by the press intrusion into her life, Tracy has decided to put on a show for everyone, as it is her life that is under the scrutiny of the common press. Mike and Liz are at first convinced that the mad behaviour of Tracy is just a symptom of the high life gone wrong, but they (especially Mike) soon become aware that there might be more to the bride-to-be than meets the eye. As Mike begins his investigation into the lives of the people he's reporting on, he becomes more and more attracted to the beauty that is Tracy. Throw into the mix former husband Dexter, who still carries a torch for his former wife, and you have a bizarre love quadrangle with more ups and downs than an elevator factory. As the big day comes ever closer, Tracy realizes that she can only walk down the aisle with one man, and there are three professing their love.
