Married banker Charles Boyer falls in love with store clerk Margaret Sullavan while on a business trip. Their romance probably would have ended in marriage if not for a misunderstanding due mainly to chance. Years pass and they meet each other again, picking up their affair where it left off. She becomes a "kept woman", living under a false name in an apartment while he goes home to his wife and children. She passes up a chance at true happiness with another man for a lifetime of misery with the selfish one. It leads to an inevitable downbeat ending in their old age.
