Marion is a young unmarried mother who lives in the same wrong-side-of-the-tracks neighborhood as Richard and his mother. Richard is just getting to the point in his adolescence when he is not only interested in women but wants to do something about that. Richard's mother is a seamstress, and Marion is one of her customers. Before long, Marion has fallen in love with Richard, who is too callow to know what's happening between them.
