Three Guys Named Mike

Marcy Lewis, a young woman from Indiana, dreams of becoming an airline stewardess and seeing the world. She signs up for an American Airlines training course and graduates from the program. With training behind her, she prepares to launch her career in the skies.

On her inaugural flight, Marcy offends the pilot, Mike Jamison, and forgets the passengers' meals, nearly ending her career before it starts. Mike intervenes with his supervisor to secure her a second chance. The mishap underscores how quickly a rookie can be tested in the cockpit.

Marcy's home base is moved to Los Angeles, where she shares an apartment with a friend from stewardess school. The relocation marks a new chapter in her career and social life, laying the groundwork for more ambitious opportunities. She begins settling into life in a bustling airline hub.

During a flight, Marcy meets Mike Lawrence, a passenger and graduate research student in biology. A spark develops, complicating the dynamic as two other Mikes also enter her orbit. The encounter foreshadows future tensions between love and ambition.

Marcy nearly loses her job again when she allow a young passenger to keep her dog in the cabin, violating airline rules. The misstep results in a one-week suspension, forcing her to recalibrate her approach to rules and authority. The incident tests her judgment under pressure.

While house-hunting, Marcy's car battery dies and Mike Tracy helps push-start it. She later learns he works for a Chicago advertising agency, introducing a new professional avenue for her ambitions. The chance meeting paves the way for a marketing opportunity that uses her image.

Marcy's idea to have stewardesses endorse soap impresses Tracy's advertising client, setting the stage for a magazine-ad campaign. A photographer invites Marcy to pose for ads, marking her entry into modeling work. The collaboration deepens her exposure beyond the airline world.

At a bungalow party with her three stewardess friends, Marcy juggles the identities of her three male admirers: Mike Lawrence, Mickey (Tracy), and Michael Jamison. A photographer requests one more shot and she is dressed in a sarong, deviating from the regulation uniform. The photographer's drunken advances are met with resistance, and the situation escalates when the Mikes intervene.

The men arrive to thwart the photographer, but their quarrel becomes tabloid fodder, pulling Marcy and the pilot into newspapers. The ensuing brawl leads to suspensions for both Marcy and the pilot, and jeopardizes Mickey's advertising account and Mike's fellowship prospects. The public fallout threatens several careers at once.

Marcy goes directly to the superiors of all three men to plead for their reinstatement, arguing for a second chance. Her persistence earns back their jobs, restoring some of the professional balance disrupted by the incident. The episode reinforces her role as mediator and advocate.

As Marcy is about to board a plane, all three Mikes separately propose marriage to her. The moment exposes the comic rivalry among the men and the seriousness of Marcy's choice. She weighs love, loyalty, and opportunity as her departure looms.

Marcy responds to Mike Lawrence's simple declaration of love, accepting him as the match that feels right. The other two Mikes concede the choice, and Marcy commits to beginning a future with Mike Lawrence. The romantic resolution aligns with her grounded, sincere approach to life.
