The action takes place in and near Hinkley, a small manor farmhouse in Shropshire, during 1945 and 1946.
(A BBC telerecording of the broadcast on June 26)

Nurse Elizabeth Gray comes to the Norths' house in Shropshire to nurse Oliver who has lost a leg and who has a serious heart condition. He is a difficult patient, but then this is a difficult household. His married sister Heather is being courted by an R.A.F. Officer and is dreading her husband's return from the Middle East and also dreading a visit from her eccentric mother-in-law, Lady Sandys. In addition there is Vi, another sister, who is mad about farming. Nurse Gray needs all her patience and all her tact to handle the situation.
