Magazine editor Valerie Carr lives in London with her two daughters – Jan, aged 17, and Poppet, 13. When Jan is invited to a party at the Savoy, she meets dashing young Tony Ward Black – mad about jive, owner of a Bentley, and supposedly running through a legacy. Attracted to the daring young man, she rejects Mark, a young farmer who is in love with her. But it soon becomes apparent to everyone but Jan that neither Tony’s fortune – nor even his name – may be his own, and her association with him will lead her into delinquency and danger.
Also available on the same day on DVD are other 1950s rarities The Franchise Affair (a thriller based on the bestselling book), The Young and the Guilty (sort of a Brit version of A Summer Place) and Johnny, You're Wanted (another thriller with famed, phone book-ripping strongwoman Joan Rhodes as herself).
