Description Story of the rehabilitation problems of ex-servicemen, but the audience's sympathy goes, not to the ex-serviceman, but to his wife. She has to cope with the "other woman", her husband's disappointment when he finds someone else appointed to the job he wanted, and worst of all, a mother-in-law who considers her son perfect.
