Having assumed the identitu of a fellow prisoner who didin't survive the German concrentration camp, a Polish girl named Victoria heads for the former's wealthy relatives in San Fraancisco at the end of the war. She discovers her namesake had a son who is heir to a fortune and ends up falling for and marrying his guardian.
