An epic tale of three sisters, their loves and their lives, featuring James Mason and Dulcie Gray. In an all-star British cast, Phyllis Calvert, Dulcie Gray and Anne Crawford are three sisters looking for love and contentment on their own terms. The story of three sisters who marry men of widely different character as their individual and widely-different married lives unfold. One sister is happily married but childless; the second promiscuously plays through years of an unhappy and loveless marriage, and the third is tortured by the mental cruelties inflicted on her by a domineering husband. When one is threatened by the sadistic cruelty of her husband, the sisters decide to take drastic action.
