Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage plot converge in this comedy about marriage and other explosive devices. It's 1952. Americans are beginning to use words like "H-bomb" and the phrase "I Like Ike" in their daily dialogue. I Love Lucy is on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy's daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and thick-skinned Boston homicide detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor-or else lose out on a honeymoon in Havana. A blunt-nosed, sharp-eyed look at love and tying (and untying, and retying) the knot that at one moment borders on farce and the next honorably pays homage to all things noir.
