Princess O'Rourke

Princess Maria (Olivia de Havilland) and her uncle (Charles Coburn) are in Washington, D. C. , where it is hoped she will meet a suitable man to marry. After a number of misfires on the romance front, Maria flies to San Francisco, sedating herself beforehand to combat her fear of flying. Still asleep when the plane sets down, Maria is taken in by the pilot, Eddie (Robert Cummings). When Maria wakes up and meets Edward, sparks fly -- but her royal lineage could complicate matters.
