Joan enjoys making a home for her husband Dan, but she's been raised to believe she's fit for nothing more than the dependent, featherbrain, housewife role. She wants to prove her mettle and takes an office job. Dan disapproves but Joan manages her house and her job equally well. Dan wants her at home and tries to punish her by taking out-of-town job assignments that keep him from the marriage bed for weeks at a time. Joan has proved herself to herself and tires of the office rat-race but must leave on her own terms. She can't quit and she can't allow herself to be fired without losing face. When she learns she is pregnant, she has a good reason for leaving the workplace. In the meantime, Dan has bought into his firm and their future looks prosperous.
