Overview

Former radio singer Kay learns from her gossipy friends that her husband, Steve, has had an affair with chorus girl Crystal.

However, when she hears that gold-digging Crystal is making Steve unhappy, Kay resolves to get her husband back. The Opposite Sex is a remake of the 1939 comedy The Women.
