A Marine sergeant stationed overseas falls in love with a woman only through correspondence. On the train back home, he meets a beautiful young doctor who's starting a new practice in the same small town. Once in town, he finds his pen pal's place of residence, but to his surprise he only finds the girl's mother living at the old mansion with her servant - the old woman informs him that her daughter has gone away and will return shortly, but asks him to stay at the mansion until her return.

Originally released as a motion picture in 1944.
