- John (Bird) & Anne (Brook) meet through music but are separated by war.
- John Brent, an officer on a warship, visits a record store to buy music for the ship. The graceful saleswoman, Ann, shares his tastes and the same evening they go together to a concert by the London Symphony Orchestra, where the song with the title of the film is also performed. And as expected, they fall in love with each other.
However, an appointment for the following evening goes wrong because Brent received an urgent order to set sail. His ship is torpedoed, he gets a beam on the head, is rescued but appears to remember nothing of what happened before in his life.
Coincidentally, Ann reads about the torpedo in the newspaper and mistakenly assumes that Brent is dead. Ann leaves her job at the record store to work at a shelter for war orphans.
Meanwhile, John is taken in at the home of a friend and fellow officer's family; Coincidentally, the garden of this house borders, how can chance play that way, on the garden of the orphanage where Ann works.
Then the misunderstandings pile up, Ann does not know that John suffers from amnesia and therefore thinks that he no longer wants to know her and is also engaged to the daughter of the house. She therefore decides to accept the advances of the orphanage doctor, who is much too old for her.
When John is injured by a German attack on the orphanage while saving a child, he miraculously regains his memory. Still, the mediating intervention of the village priest is still needed to clear up all misunderstandings so that Ann and John can live happily and hopefully long.
Quite a nice film, although the misunderstandings drag on for a long time.
