But when her young boss Charles pays her attention, his parents have the Navy ship him to China and Katy is forced to work for a dishonest haulage company where she makes enemies. Rescued by a glamorous but evil conman, Katy once more finds herself on the streets. Trouble lies ahead as the father of her child, the fiancee of her new-found love, and the winds of war all conspire against her future happiness.
