When Billy 'Apples' Rafferty, a Cockney villain with a heart of gold, becomes her protector, Sue swears to give up her racy life. But when Billy is sent to prison, she soon breaks her promise and her earthy beauty makes her one of Soho's most popular hostesses.

A lucky encounter secures Susan a respectable job as a manageress of a small hotel in Devon. But then her past catches up with her . .
