Mary
Marshall (Ginger Rogers), serving a six year term for involuntary manslaughter,
is given a Christmas furlough from prison to visit her closest relatives, her
Aunt and Uncle (Spring Byington and Tom Tully) and niece Barbara (Shirley
Temple) in a small Midwestern town.
On
the train she meets Sergeant Zach Morgan (Joseph Cotton), on leave for the
holidays from a military hospital, where his physical wounds have healed, but
is still fragile mentally and is subject to panic attacks.
The
pair are attracted to one another and in the warm atmosphere of the Christmas
season friendship blossoms into romance, but Mary is reluctant to tell him of
her past and that she must shortly return to prison to serve the remainder of
her sentence.
