Garland, as Veronica Fisher, enters Oberkugen's music shop, looking for work. Little does she know that a pen pal, Van Johnson as Andrew Larkin, with whom she has been corresponding, is a salesman in the shop. Oberkugen refuses to employ her until she persuades a wealthy matron, through her singing and musical expertise, to buy an Amboy harp at almost $25 over Oberkugen's list price. Larkin resents her, and their relationship is quarrelsome, yet he continues to write doting letters to his pen pal at post office box 237. In spite of their bickering, they are profoundly attracted to each other at work, but keep their interest covert under a barrage of arguments.
