After her mother runs away, Toni is raised by her strict grandmother. Accepting a ride from Bob, Toni goes with him to a roadhouse. During a police raid, Bob ditches Toni but she’s rescued by club owner Stan. They date for a time but Stan vanishes, because he doesn’t want her to be tainted by his bad reputation in town. Toni allows herself to be picked up by Jerry but flees when he makes a pass at her. She discovers Stan now runs a gas station and they are reunited.; Nurse Nancy treats Bill in a veteran’s hospital and they become friends, even though he’s 15 years older than she. They date and become engaged, but she won’t marry him unless he gives up his dream of being a farmer and takes a job with the Department of Agriculture instead. After they wed, Bill is always “too tired” to go out with Nancy at night. This causes marital strife and he eventually leaves her. She tracks him to his farm and finds him rejuvenated: she realises it was the office work that made him act old and worn-out. They reconcile.; Jenny lives in a resort town and envies the life of the wealthy summer residents, feeling local suitor Chuck is too ordinary, crude and low-class for her. Jenny meets rich tourist Rick, who agrees to meet her at the Yacht Club dance, even though he’s engaged to Pamela. Chuck escorts Jenny to the dance and she ditches him for Rick. Pamela and Chuck scheme to make Rick reveal that Jenny means nothing to him. Jenny and Chuck reconcile.; Factory worker June has a crush on Karl, snobbish son of the factory owner. After Karl’s father sends him to work in the plant, Karl begins to date June, to the consternation of worker Sherman, who loves her. When Karl makes a disparaging remark about June, Sherman punches him and gets a promotion from Karl’s father. June realises Sherman is the man for her.; A sinister apartment building elevator operator tells his passenger about his hobby of breaking up engagements by planting seeds of suspicion and jealousy in each future groom’s mind. He doesn’t realise that his passenger is Frank, his latest “victim,” and gets a punch in the nose for his trouble.
