Emmy lives with her widowed mother in the dirty, cramped Nightingale Court. Her aim in life is to escape and she sees marriage as her best way out. When Peter Wesley, First Officer aboard a cruise ship, proposes, she accepts eagerly. They have a baby, Diana, and all seems set fair for the small family, but Peter is killed and Emmy left penniless.
