""Matuschek`s a gift store in Budapest is the workplace of Alfred Kralik (James Stewart) and Klara Novak (Margaret Sullavan). At work they constantly irritate each other but this daily aggrevation is tempered by the fact that each has a secret pen pal with which they trade long soul-searching letters. Romantic correspondence is sent back and forth and while Alfred and Klara trade barbs at work they dream of someday meeting their sensitive caring and completely wonderful soul-mate. Of course neither realizes that their soul-mates are really each other.""
