Seventeen-year-old Carol flees her small-town home to escape from her alcoholic stepfather, and heads off to London where she is drawn to the sleazy excitement of Soho and finds work in a coffee bar. Carol is soon receiving advances from her boss, Mort Wilson, who, though older, professes to be in love with her. Meanwhile she falls in love with handsome young would-be nightclub singer Joe Shane and soon they are a couple. She discovers that Joe is a small-time crook on the side, with a gang background and a line in burglary.
When Carol becomes pregnant, Joe decides to do one last job to make the money to take them to a fresh start in Canada. He burgles Mort's house but Mort catches him in the act. After shooting Mort dead, Joe, himself severely wounded, goes on the run with Carol in a stolen car. They crash in a country lane and carry on by foot. The next morning, pursued by the police, Joe collapses in a field and dies from his injuries.
