After the fall of France in June 1940, Louis Duval, a French artist, flees across the Channel in a small motor boat and reaches Dartmouth. Here he meets Barbara Hillyard, a young widow who is struggling to make ends meet by running a boarding house. A handsome injured naval officer is staying there, and he and Louis become rivals for Barbara's love.
