Richard Sumner (Spencer Tracy) has come to the research department of Manhattan's Federal Broadcasting Network with a singular purpose in mind consisting of him being the person who has to organize the arrival of a high-tech supercomputer that will be the new default source of information for people calling into the research center. Of course, he can never tell people of this purpose because they immediately get terrified the machine will take their job so he just lingers around the research department under a vaguely defined purpose all while becoming closer and closer to the head of this research department, Bunny Watson (Katharine Hepburn).
