Lilia Herriton, a young widow, sets off from Charing Cross for a tour of Italy and promptly marries Gino, a dentist’s son far below her, in the hill town of Monteriano. Her horrified in-laws send her brother-in-law Philip to stop it, and later Philip and his rigid sister Harriet return on a still more delicate mission.
