In New York Sally Wyndham watches in distress as her aviator fiancee is killed in a plane crash. Pregnant and dazed, she wanders the streets and encounters Dan Pritchard, a doctor who served a two year prison sentence for committing what he considered a mercy killing on one of his patients. With his support, she gives up her child for adoption to a couple of his friends. Her quest for stability and happiness later takes her to Italy and Paris. She eventually comes to hope that the child's adoptive mother will return her son to her.
