Plot

Shirley Mortimer is the second daughter of a wealthy London family, who view her as plain and treat her as little more than a servant. When her father's friend David Trent visits, she becomes smitten. Upon hearing that he and his son are in need of a new domestic, she disguises herself as an elderly matron, Mrs. Halifax, and begins to work for him. He is a defense attorney, currently defending a man, painter Norman Harrington, on the charge of murdering his wife.
