At the turn of the century, a young waitress has a fling with a sailor on leave. He then departs for South Africa to fight in the Boer War and enjoys a distinguished career and is awarded a Victoria Cross for heroics in the First World War. Engaged to a high society heiress, his new status is changed by the sudden arrival of his long-lost daughter, the identical image of her now-deceased mother.
