School teacher Allee Bell and her best friend Tina Bandolino win a two-week trip to Paris. The day before they are to depart, Tina has an accident. Allee decides to go press on by herself, despite being a novice traveler who speaks no French.

In Paris, Allee meets US Air Force Captain Paul Chevalier, who is completing a tour of duty at the US Embassy. The attraction is immediate. A strike during her first week in Paris keeps Allee from the sights she has planned. With Paul as her escort, however, she enjoys some fascinating alternatives. The strike ends, and Allee visits the traditional tourist highlights of the city during the second week of her visit. Despite two wonderful weeks and their mutual attraction, common sense tells Allee she and Paul don't have enough time for love to blossom...or do they?
