Kathy Burton has had a tough life on the family farm in Lincolnshire, not least because her father is determined that she will marry a local boy whom she doesn't care for.
Her escape takes her to the city of Lincoln where she starts work in a glamorous department store, and there falls in love with Tony Kendall, a man who has a reputation as a womaniser.
But Kathy knows that Tony has a good heart, and spends most of his time caring for his possessive invalid mother.
