Ginnie falls for American Lieutenant Nick Miller nearby, but discovers he has a fiancée back home and, heartbroken, she ends the romance. When news arrives that her father has been killed in an air raid, the family is left almost penniless, with Shirley and her newborn child needing support. Ginnie steps up to run the shop under threat, determined to keep it running and build a new life for herself and her family amid wartime adversity.
