On the eve of World War II, a British officer recalls the young man he was at the beginning of World War I and the young ballerina he met before he left to the front and re visits Waterloo Bridge. Myra stayed with him and is thrown out of the corps de ballet. She resides on the streets of London, falling lower after she hears her passion has been killed in action. But he wasn't murdered. Those dreadful years were nothing more than a fantasy is Myra's expectation after Roy finds her and carries her into his family's country estate.
