Successful architect Scott Hylands falls in love with school teacher Meredith Baxter-Birney. After a brief courtship, she gets pregnant and they get married. Her parents miss the wedding, but when her mother sees pictures she recognizes the grooms father as a man she had a one night stand with years ago which resulted in a child. She feels compelled to tell the unlucky couple that they are actually half siblings. Needless to say, this upsets them greatly. They consider but reject an abortion, and have a healthy baby girl. Still, they cannot reconcile their differences and split up, leaving her to wonder what may have happened if she had never known the truth. This starts out as a good romantic story in the 70s vein, but quickly descends to soap opera level melodramatics. Lana Turner is awful in the role of the bad step mother.
