Synopsis

A bored housewife with writing aspirations enters a mystery-writing contest to win a free trip for two to Paris. When she unexpectedly wins, her officious and neglectful husband refuses to go with her so she leaves alone.
Once there, she falls in front of a car driven by the Spanish ambassador and awakens thinking she is Rebecca Ryan, the heroine in a series of pulp mysteries. As Rebecca, she has numerous adventures -- including falling in love.
