After the recent death of her husband, and with her sons away at school, Jessica Drummond is lonely and out of sorts -- and uninterested in the potential suitors her mother, Mrs. Kimball, chooses for her. Jessica joins her close friend Ginna Abbott on a skiing trip and meets Maj. Scott Landis, a handsome man who is clearly attracted to her. Jessica makes it clear that she has no interest in a short-term fling, and upon returning home, she meets Frank Everett, a sweet but dull man whom she begins dating. Frank is willing to marry Jessica, but by chance she meets Scott again, and while she's not willing to be seduced by him, she finds him more exciting and alluring than Frank. As Jessica debates the merits of passion vs. security, she becomes the subject of mean-spirited gossipmongers who speculate that her relationship with Scott has become inappropriately intimate for a new widow.
