Plot :
Three Russian commissars have been dispatched to Paris to reclaim a defecting Soviet composer. Since Steve Canfield wants the composer to write the songs for his newest musical, he plies the commissars with wine and women, dissuading them from their mission. When Ninotchka shows up to retrieve the errant Russians, Steve Canfield turns on the old charm with her as well. She gradually succumbs to the combined lures of romance and capitalism, but returns to Russia when she believes that Steve Canfield has thrown her over for film-star Peggy Dayton. But Steve convinces her that he truly loves her.
