Peggy Tarrant, Will's daughter, arrives home emotionally disturbed after an unhappy love affair in London. After discovering that her father is in Stockholm at a trades union conference, she breaks down and a policeman finds her weeping in the street.
She is subsequently taken to a hostel for the after-care of mental patients. She is, in fact, one of the first women residents to be accepted as an experiment in group therapy. This experiment is strongly opposed by a Residents' Association which has previously succeeded in keeping the hostel out of their area. Their bigotry is based on the all-too-familiar fear of anything connected with mental disturbance.
The additional unconventional element of mixing the sexes serves as another excuse to attack the object of their fear. Worse still, Will Tarrant returns home determined that his daughter shall not be left in a home. It's all right for others - not for his daughter.
