The lead story, "The Arms of a Stranger," follows a woman whose guardian David has been stealing from her and forcing her to marry him; she falls in love with Keith instead, but discovers David orchestrated their meeting as part of his scheme, leading her to initially reject Keith before reconciling with him after he proves his genuine affection. The second story, "Find a Fortune," depicts economics teacher Harold Fortune's encounter with Superintendent John Morrow's secretary, who challenges him to prove he is a man rather than a boy, and involves a letter from someone named Frank expressing affection toward a woman named Flora.

A schoolteacher haunted by the memory of her late husband finds an unexpected second chance at love when she meets a widowed writer and his young daughter.
