Synopsis:

The Irish former professional player Chris Wilton from the lower class gets a job as tennis instructor in an upper class club in London. Chris becomes close to his student Tom Hewett, who introduces him to his British upper class family, and Tom's sister Chloe immediately falls in love with him. The ambitious Chris keeps the relationship with Chloe, feeling lust for Tom's fiancée, the American aspirant actress Nola Rice, and they have a brief affair. Chris gets married to Chloe and climbs to a high position in a company of the Hewett's family, while Tom breaks his engagement with Nola. When Chris meets Nola by chance, he becomes obsessed for her and she becomes his mistress. When Nola gets pregnant and presses him, he balances the financial advantages of his marriage but he has to take a decision in his life and choose the woman he wants for his companion.

Tennis pro Chris Wilton takes a job as a tennis instructor and hits it off immediately with one of his students, wealthy young Tom Hewitt. Tom introduces Chris to his family and Chris falls quickly into a romance with Tom's sister Chloe. But despite the growing certainty that Chris and Chloe will marry, and the enormous professional and financial advantages that come Chris's way through his relationship with the delighted Hewitt family, Chris becomes increasingly intrigued and eventually romantically involved with Tom's fiancée, Nola Rice, a struggling American actress. Their passionate trysts leave Chris in danger of losing the wealth and position he has now come to enjoy. The only solution to the dilemma seems unthinkable...

After a B-career in international pro tennis, Irish-commoner-roots player Chris Wilton takes a step-stone job as country club instructor. Thus he befriends gifted pupil Tom, who takes him to the Hewetts' splendid country estate as a family friend, sharing a love for opera. Tom's sister Chloe becomes his bride, so dad Alec arranges a generous job in the family's London City firm. Tom's former fiancée, American B-actress Nola, nevertheless becomes his mistress. When she gets accidentally pregnant, Chris fails to get an abortion and resorts to a desperately radically way out.
