Everyone is worn down by the war which has been raging now for five long years, but five-year-old evacuee Johnnie Richards is so severely traumatised that Sheila Calvert journeys south from her family's Yorkshire farm where Johnnie is staying, to return him to his mother. Searching the airfields of Kent for Jane Richards, Sheila is shocked by the open hostility meted out by some of the USAAF personnel.
