A cotton mill worker in Lancashire falls for her boss's son while on a Wakes Week holiday in Blackpool but enlists the aid of her girlfriend to keep it a secret to hide it from her interfering parents.

While on seaside holiday with her friend Mary, pretty factory worker Jenny is attracted to Alan, son of the owner of the mill where she works. When she agrees to spend a week with the young man, Jenny enlists her roommate's help to keep this liaison a secret. The conspiracy backfires when Mary is killed in a freak boating accident that reveals that Jenny was elsewhere. Both sets of parents learn of the liaison and insist that Alan "do the right thing" by marrying her, but independent Jenny has a surprise for them. Successful and more realistic remake of one of the earliest British talkies, made in 1931 after two previous silent versions.—Mike Rogers <[email protected]>
