​
Cautious, sensible Caroline Abbott journeys to Italy as a chaperone for her irrepressible friend Lilia, but everything goes wrong when Lilia suddenly becomes engaged to a dentist’s son. Lilia’s brother-in-law, Philip, comes to break the engagement, but fails, and a hotly contested baby results. Sweeping melodrama and sardonic humor meet in Tuscany as ideals are challenged in the subsequent family battle over the fate of that unfortunate infant.
