On the morning of the Epsom Derby, a disparate group of people prepare to go to the races. Lady Helen Forbes, a recently widowed aristocrat, is planning to make the journey in spite of the disapproval of her social set who consider it unseemly for her to go while still in mourning. David Scott, a newspaper cartoonist, is ordered to go by his editor against his wishes. He invites his taxi driver, along with the driver's wife, to join him. When the taxi breaks down, Lady Forbes offers him a lift.
As part of a charity raffle, dissolute film star Gerald Berkeley must reluctantly escort a wealthy grand dame to Epsom, although when the woman falls and injures her leg, her crafty housekeeper arranges for the young French Canadian maid to go in her place. A lodger accidentally kills a man whose wife he has been having an affair with. The lodger and the wife plan to flee the country, so they travel to Epsom, where he knows a tipster who may be able to smuggle them out. While waiting for the race to start, Lady Forbes and David Scott meet up again, and find themselves sharing confidences, as they were both bereaved by the same air crash. It seems likely that they will meet again.
The lodger and the wife are spotted and arrested. The taxi driver's wife decides that she enjoyed the day at the races after all, despite her earlier reluctance to attend.
