Lake stars as Connie Doyle, who is pregnant, unmarried and alone when she stumbles onto the wrong train. The train derails and the Winterbournes are killed. Connie is in their compartment, wearing a ring with Hugh and Patricia Winterbourne engraved on it, so the hospital lists her as Patricia Winterbourne. Patricia and Hugh met in the Far East and married. This was their first trip to their new home.
Friction turns into affection.
The twist here is the father of Connie's baby learns of her newfound wealth and reappears in her life, criminally bent on exacting his own price for his contribution to her success. If the reactions of the preview audience are any indication, this touching love story is good for about an entire box of tissues. But it's also constantly funny.
