Plot

Connie Armitage falls in love with lighthouse keeper Sam Wells, and happily tells her best friend that they are to be married, but when she makes a surprise visit to the lighthouse, the head keeper, Hank, innocently reveals that Sam is already married. Connie then marries the much older Hank on the rebound. The three all live together in the close confines of an isolated lighthouse. Sam tries it on with Connie, but she is starting to develop real feelings for her husband. Furious that Connie refuses to fall for more of his lies, Sam is determined to sabotage Connie and Hank's relationship - at any cost.
