Laura Nightingale has a happy home but her parents are unsympathetic with her ambition to become an actress. She works hard in a hairdresser's to pay for acting lessons and when the war comes she seizes her chance and joins up with ENSA. Her childhood sweetheart, Peter joins the RAF and is soon reported 'missing believed killed'. Laura is devastated and on the rebound begins a disastrous affair with Max Higham, the director of the troupe she is touring with. When she becomes pregnant and Max rejects her, she is forced to leave ENSA, but feels she cannot return home in disgrace. How Laura ultimately finds happiness makes a moving story.
