When war comes, Nella defies her over-protective husband to join the local Women's Voluntary Service. Initially diffident, she blossoms thanks to the dominant but kindly Mrs. Waite, and enjoys her independence as a useful war worker. The film also shows her relationship with her two sons, as well as the effect of the war on the community, and ends by explaining that Nella kept in touch with the Mass Observation project until her death in 1968.
