In this dramatization of three short stories by W. Somerset Maugham, Tom (Nigel Patrick) is a thorn in his brother's side, but a chance meeting with a wealthy woman changes everything. Miss Reid (Kay Walsh) is boring her fellow cruise ship passengers with incessant talking, so they set her up on a date that has surprising consequences for everyone. Stella (Glynis Johns) and her husband are professional daredevils, but her worries about the future prompt her to risk it all at the casino.
