A woman named Ruth struggles with her relationship when her boyfriend Gary becomes involved with a man from New York, leading her to feel humiliated and rejected at a town dance. After Gary leaves her for another woman, Ruth meets Stan, an engineer who works on major construction projects and is about to be assigned to Trinidad. Stan falls in love with Ruth and proposes, but she worries about marrying a man whose career will keep him constantly traveling to remote locations, fearing she cannot balance marriage with his demanding professional life. In a separate story, a young woman aspires to become a dress designer and takes her portfolio to the prestigious Fallon & Drake design firm, where she impresses Mr. Drake with her improvements to their designs and is hired on the spot, leading to romance with her new employer.
