Output:
During a crosscountry lecture tour, notoriouslyacerbic New York radio personality Sheridan Whiteside Monty Woolley slips on the icy steps of the house of the Stanleys Grant Mitchell and Billie Burke, a prominent Ohio family, and insists on recuperating in their home during the Christmas holidays. The overbearing, selfcentered celebrity soon comes to dominate the lives of the residents and everyone else who enters the household. He encourages young adults Richard Russell Arms and June Elisabeth Fraser Stanley to pursue their dreams, much to the dismay of their conventional father Ernest. Meanwhile, Whitesides spinster assistant Maggie Cutler Bette Davis finds herself attracted to local newspaperman Bert Jefferson Richard Travis. When she reads Berts play, she is so impressed she asks Whiteside to show it to his contacts and then announces she will quit his employment and marry Bert. However, her boss is loath to lose such an efficient aide and does his best to sabotage the blossoming romance. He also exaggerates the effects of his injuries to be able to stay in the house. He suggests actress Lorraine Sheldon Ann Sheridan would be perfect for one of the leading roles, intending to have her steal Bert away from Maggie. Lorraine convinces Bert to spend time with her to fix up the play. When Maggie realizes Whiteside is behind the underhanded scheme, she quits. Somewhat chastened, Whiteside concocts a plan to get Lorraine out of the way, with the help of his friend Banjo Jimmy Durante. They trap Lorraine in an Egyptian sarcophagus, and Banjo ships her off to Nova Scotia. Finally fed up with Whitesides shenanigans, insults, and unbearable personality, and realizing that he has been faking his injuries for quite some time, Mr. Stanley orders him to leave. Before he does, Whiteside blackmails him into allowing his children to do as they please by threatening to reveal Stanleys sister Harriets past as an infamous axe murderess. As Whiteside departs, he falls on the icy steps again and is carried back inside, much to Stanleys consternation.
