Mike McCoy, the lead singer of a traveling band and a part-time race car driver, enjoys a carefree single life on the road. He juggles music and speed, savoring his independence as he travels from town to town. Three women, however, increasingly threaten this freedom by pursuing marriage.

Howard tricks Mike and the band into traveling to Santa Barbara to serenade Cynthia for her birthday. Cynthia Foxhugh is a spoiled heiress who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. The trip marks the first direct confrontation between Mike and his three would-be brides.

Howard Foxhugh leverages Mike's racing skills and offers him to drive the Fox Five car in an upcoming road race. Mike would rather race his own Cobra 427, which he tows around the region. The arrangement shows Howard leveraging his wealth to influence Mike's racing fate.

Diana St. Clair, an author of books about men, begins watching Mike and uses him as the subject for her new book The Perfect American Male. She plans to marry him and has already laid the groundwork for that future.

Diana reveals to Mike that he is the perfect American male and that she intends to marry him. She has already begun wedding arrangements, signaling a deep commitment to winning him.

Les, the band's drummer, has long been seen as a tomboy by Mike and the others. At a party, she steps out in an evening dress and proves she can be what she hides—a woman who wants to marry Mike. This confirms she is the third woman pursuing him.

With three women vying for his hand, Mike wrestles with how to combine marriage and freedom. He weighs the consequences of settling down versus preserving his hard-won independence.

The road race arrives, and Mike wins in a car he does not own, showcasing his driving prowess and stubborn streak. The victory reinforces his desire to stay unattached despite the surrounding pressure.

After the race, Mike decides to marry all three women, but not to themselves. He arranges for Cynthia to marry Phillip, Diana to marry Howard, and Les to marry Lt. Tracy Richards, freeing him to reclaim his single life.

Cynthia weds Phillip, a nervous employee of Howard who harbors a secret crush on her. The ceremony marks the first of Mike's triple marriages arranged to preserve his freedom.

Diana marries Howard, who has fallen in love with her after they met at one of Mike's parties. The union fulfills Diana's part of the plan and secures her happiness alongside Mike's arranged life.

Les marries Lt. Tracy Richards, a police officer whom she won over with her cooking and charm. The ceremony completes Mike's scheme to keep his life unbound while others settle down.

With the three marriages concluded, Mike returns to his touring and racing lifestyle. He embraces the single life he loves, free from the commitments that once threatened it.
