Synopsis

Terry, a young orphan, is befriended by Marsha Prentis, an older woman. Traumatized by a rape attempt on her, Terry is drawn into a lesbian relationship with Marsha that continues until Ken Manning, unaware of her affair with Marsha, convinces Terry that all men are not like the one who attacked her. Terry and Ken marry, but the young bride cannot bring herself to tell him about Marsha. The two women meet again at a party, and Marsha desperately tries to win back her young lover. Dodie, the maid; Jane, a neighbor; and a teenager, Wendy Barrett, all attempt to divert Marsha's attention, but she remains interested only in Terry, who refuses her advances. Desperate at the thought of losing the girl forever, Marsha drowns herself in the pool.
