John Davis is an American newspaper writer, sending articles back to the US on various conflicts throughout the world. His wife, Nora, is with him during the London bombings. A bomb puts her in the hospital and she loses the baby she was carrying.
John sends his wife back to the United States but stays in London to cover the war. During a story about an orphanage, he meets up with a little boy that he had helped to rescue after a bomb took his family. Seeing John again brings the little boy, Peter, back to his senses.
Another child, Margaret, is played by Margaret O'Brien. She had been placed with several families but was too traumatized to make a home with them. She also takes to John and he ends up caring for both of them at the orphanage. He decides to adopt them and take them home to the US. His wife is very enthusiastic, too, as it seems she can no longer have children.
This was a wonderful movie and when Margaret O'Brien's character started crying, so did I and I didn't stop throughout the rest of the film.
