The noble Gilly is also on the lookout for that one special girl with whom he might share the rest of his life.Gilly meets and falls in love with a charming, beautiful — and klutzy — hairdresser, Jo Wingfield (Heather Graham). A passionate, physical romance develops before the sleazy private eye reveals the identity of Gilly's real mother: Valdine Wingfield — Jo's mother. Which they mistakenly think means ... After Jo relocates to Oregon, the lovesick Gilly learns that Jo really isn't so, and he frantically pursues his one true amour. Along his journey, he gets help from double amputee Dig McCaffey, a pilot with a leg up on the comic action. But complicating matters for Gilly is Valdine, who conceals a secret from her daughter to insure that Jo's planned wedding to a millionaire Jack Mitchelson goes off without a hitch.
