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.
