Based on a J.M. Barrie play, this genial comedy follows physician Robert Grey (John Lund) and his wife, Alice (Joan Fontaine), as they return to New York City after a long absence and are reunited with their children, Amy (Mona Freeman) and Cosmo (David Stollery). But the reunion goes hilariously awry when Amy becomes convinced that her mother is having an affair with another doctor (Peter Hansen) and schemes to protect Alice's virtue.

Cash-strapped widow Ellen McNulty (Thelma Ritter) leaves her humble New Jersey home and hitchhikes to Ohio to move in with her son, Val (John Lund). But when she arrives and Val's new bride, Maggie (Gene Tierney), mistakes her for household help, Ellen is too embarrassed to correct her. The error sets off a string of misunderstandings involving Maggie's parents and Val's employer, bringing tension to the newlyweds' otherwise happy home.

Webb Carey (Alan Ladd), a former U.S. agent, returns to Italy after World War II to find out who betrayed his team on its last mission and to avenge the death of the resistance worker he loved (Wanda Hendrix). To his amazement, Carey discovers that she's alive and married -- and that the villagers he thought he was saving from the Nazis now hold America responsible for their postwar poverty. The film won an Oscar for the song "Mona Lisa."

In the wake of a fatal railroad crash, desperate pregnant woman Helen Ferguson (Barbara Stanwyck) adopts the identity of a dead woman, introduces herself to her rich, new "in-laws" (John Lund, Henry O'Neill and Jane Cowl) and seizes the chance to start her miserable life anew. But Helen's real-life, no-good boyfriend (Lyle Bettger) is determined to find his former flame and cash in on her newfound good fortune.

In 16th-century Italy, Duke Alfonso d'Este (John Lund) goes to extraordinary lengths to convince the corrupt Cesare Borgia (Macdonald Carey) that he is not a threat, even as he secretly builds a massive cannon to defend his town, Ferrara, against Borgia's invading troops. Borgia lies to his sister, Lucretia (Paulette Goddard), telling her Alfonso murdered her husband, but Alfonso's sincerity makes her question her scheme to poison him in revenge.
