In turn-of-the-century San Francisco, Lucia Clay (Barbara Bel Geddes) attends a party where she announces her engagement to John St. Roger (Bartlett Robinson). That very same evening, however, Lucia meets and falls in love with handsome Allen Bliss (Michael Rennie) -- who happens to be married. Clearly, Lucia and Allen must find a quiet, secluded place to work out their romantic problems...and thus is set in motion the set of circumstances which will effectively remove the couple from the face of the earth.
