Susan (Connie Stevens) is left as a single parent when the father of her child dies in a mountain climbing accident. Her family moves to Guatemala for ten months to spare her the indignities of being an unwed mother. The family returns to America, and Susan is pursued by a rich junior executive (Bert Convey) and a poor struggling author (Troy Donahue). Susan must decide which of the two men are better for her and her newborn baby.
