A young secretary in New York named Tess McGill has the brains, looks and charm to make it big. All she needs is the right haircut, clothes and job. The opportunity arises when her classy, seductive and treacherous boss breaks a leg skiing. Tess steps into her job, her apartment and her clothes, and all sorts of witty and romantic things follow!

As Tolstoy seeks peace in his final days, a young man is hired to be his secretary and is enlisted as a spy for both Tolstoy's wife, who is desperate to retain his possessions for herself and her family, and Tolstoy's young acolyte, who preaches his ideals of poverty, chastity, and pacifism.
