Nurse Nancy treats Bill in a veteran’s hospital and they become friends, even though he’s 15 years older than her. They date and become engaged, but she won’t marry him unless he gives up his dream of being a farmer and takes a job with the Department of Agriculture instead. After they wed, Bill is always “too tired” to go out with Nancy at night. This causes marital strife and he eventually leaves her. She tracks him to his farm and finds him rejuvenated: she realizes it was the office work that made him act old and worn-out. They reconcile.
