When bank official Arthur Winslow's retirement is marred by the news that his younger son has been expelled from Osborne Naval College on a charge of theft, he is convinced of his son's innocence.

A rare celebration of the functional family without calling attention to that aspect. A warm supportive alliance between father and daughter, family sacrifices and a father who will lay everything on the line to protect his son's honor exemplify the best family values in this fact-based film adaptation of Terrence Rattigan's play.
