Synopsis
Ernie Mott (Cary Grant) is a restless, irresponsible, wandering cockney with a good musical ear. On Armistice Day, Ernie visits the tomb of The Unknown Warrior, which memorializes those who died in World War I, including his father. Ernie wants a better life but doesn't want to settle down or work for it. When he returns home, Ma Mott (Ethel Barrymore) asks why he has returned after so long, and she gives him an ultimatum that he must stay home now or leave forever. He informs her that he will then be leaving next morning, and goes out to get a drink. He meets fellow musician Aggie Hunter (Jane Wyatt) outside the bar, but instead prefers the company of a gangster's fickle ex-wife Ada Brantline (June Duprez). However, when Ernie becomes smitten with Ada, she rejects his offer of a date when he tells her he will be leaving town tomorrow.Actors
