CW Briggs (played by Woody Allen) is the most outstanding insurance investigator at a renowned North Shore insurance company in New York during the 1940s. His specialty is being able to see into the minds of criminals, allowing him to solve cases with ease. Everything changes when his boss brings in "efficiency expert" Betty. Betty, new to her position, introduces new strategies and management styles, and Briggs becomes the first target. The tension between them is palpable. At a birthday party for their colleague George, they are called on stage by a magician, and under the spell of the jade scorpion, they are hypnotized, waking up with no memory of what just happened. Afterward, a series of jewel thefts occur in the city, and the alarm devices for the stolen jewelry were set up by Briggs himself, making it impossible to crack the case without him. During the investigation, Kensington's beautiful daughter (played by Charlize Theron) takes the initiative to ask him out, raising his suspicions about her motives. Meanwhile, Betty's decision to bring in a detective to assist him further complicates matters. Betty is the lover of his boss, and she feels heartbroken over her boss's reluctance to divorce his wife. By chance, she confides in Briggs, and he begins to suspect that Betty has leaked company secrets. Her advances towards him only deepen his doubts. In a series of humorous mishaps, they ultimately realize that everything stems from the initial magic of the jade scorpion, and these thefts ultimately lead to an unexpected romance.
