Synopsis

Legendary movie star Marlo Manners is on her honeymoon with her sixth husband when a major complication arises. They are staying in a hotel that is hosting an international conference, and the Russian delegate, one of Marlo's ex-husbands, threatens to put a halt to the negotiations unless he can have an affair with her. What could make matters even worse for the new couple is the fact that there is a tape of Marlo talking about all of her past sexual exploits, so her manager is trying to find and destroy it.

Trivia

It is said that Mae West was unable to remember her lines and arranged to have them fed to her through an earpiece - she was told to simply repeat whatever she heard, assuming it was dialogue. During one take, the signal in the earpiece supposedly got crossed with that of local police radio (one report says it was a news radio station), so she turned to her costar and sexily said: "There's been an accident on the 405 freeway!"
