The Petty Girl is a musical romantic comedy film starring Robert Cummings and Joan Caulfield. Cummings portrays painter George Petty. In New York City, George Petty tries to convince car manufacturer B. J. Manton to use pretty women to help advertise his dreary new car model.

Soon, she has furnished him with a lavish apartment, complete with a butler named Beardsley . She also talks him into... abandoning his cheesecake paintings in favor of more respectable portraits. Meanwhile, Victoria Braymore , the youngest professor at Braymore College, attends a conference in New York to defend the school against charges that it is outdated and old-fashioned. She has led a sheltered life, raised by the older professors after the death of her parents , and is only allowed to go with a chaperone, her friend Dr. Crutcher .
