When Amy Klasse loses her TV job to a dancing chicken, handsome veterinarian Jake Elliott rescues her with an offer to be his receptionist.
Jake just can't resist a damsel in distress, and Amy certainly doesn't mind Jake's charming sincerity. Taming an office packed with howling pets and an unruly parrot named Ida is chaotic enough, though keeping her distance from a disarmingly handsome doctor proves far harder.
Then suddenly the job-stealing chicken disappears and Amy is suspected of foul play. When an ambitious station manager spots homemade soup in her lunch basket, news crews swarm the clinic to brand her a heartless poultry thief.
Sorting through kitchen garbage alongside an embarrassed detective is humiliating enough, but watching television crews camp on her front lawn turns an absurd misunderstanding into a full-blown public spectacle.
Amy and Jake search for clues to prove her innocence. But will Jake be able to prove to Amy that love, too, is a mystery worth solving?
- Romantic Comedy: An ultra-organized former children's television host and a laid-back veterinarian clash over everything from chaotic clinic filing to exhausting five-mile runs.
- Screwball Comedy: From picking apartment door locks with a credit card to hiding in crowded closets, their makeshift detective work spirals into hilarious pandemonium.
- Amateur Sleuth: Desperate for evidence, the unlikely partners stake out suburban townhouses and resort to dumpster-diving in search of a missing poultry cage.
- Forced Proximity: Confined to a tiny two-seater sports car makes keeping their hands to themselves an impossible task.
- Also by This Author: Back to the Bedroom, Thanksgiving and Metro Girl.
