Hank and Joan both work for Mr. Bascombe. They marry secretly because Bascombe has a rule against his employees fraternizing. Joan feels she must stay at the company until a big merger goes through, feeling it’d be disloyal to leave. After two months, Hank can’t keep up the pretense and decides to quit, but Joan confesses the truth. Bascombe says he doesn’t mind if they’re married, and urges Joan to leave her job because “a secretary can always be replaced…and being a wife’s a full-time job!”
