The film was produced and directed by George Abbott and Stanley Donen, with most Broadway cast members repeating their roles in the movie with the notable exception of star Doris Day.

Meanwhile, the factory's time study man, "Hinesy", is unable to get over his suspicions that his girlfriend Gladys, Hasler's secretary, is unfaithful to him.

Mable, another office worker, presents various seemingly compromising but innocent scenarios to Hinesy to convince him that he must learn to trust his girlfriend ("I’ll Never Be Jealous Again").

Babe attempts to maintain a business attitude, but Sid complains that she keeps her distance and asks her for a date.

Sid visits Babe at home to convince her that their relationship can continue even if she no longer works at the factory; he is fighting for both their futures.

Sid admits that he bluffed his way into the top management job, having just been a cutting room foreman previously.

Hoping to uncover Hasler's secrets, Sid takes Gladys on a date to the local hot spot ("Hernando's Hideaway").

Sid discovers that Hasler recorded the raise as having been instituted months earlier and has been pocketing the difference himself.

At the union meeting that evening, amid talk of a strike ("7½ Cents"), Sid arrives with Hasler, who announces he has agreed to the raise.
