Billie Bardell is as beautiful and voluptuous now as she was when she was the leading lady of the London music halls. Kept young by the amorous activities of Julia, her maid's daughter and her gardener, Duncan, Billie is the giver of comfort and happiness to her household of employees. 
 
But domestic stability is rocked when Julia, headstrong, idealistic, and involved in the General Strike of 1926, discovers Duncan on the opposing side. Feeling betrayed and disappointed she begins to have serious doubts about his love for her. When, a few weeks later, she finds her mother brutally murdered it's a critical turning point in her life - one which takes her to Spain, to nurse the war victims there, leaving Duncan behind, distraught and unaware that their paths are sure to cross again...
