Small town girl Jane Bradford falls for Nick, a guy from the big city who offers her the opportunity to get away from her small town life.

Jane's brother, Eddie, goes to the city to look for his sister, who has not kept in touch with her family.

On the periphery of both Eddie and Jane's life is Dorothy Farley, a customer at the drive-in. Dorothy, dating Dan, comes from a wealthy family and she throws her money around easily.
