Chambermaid Fanny is thanking her lucky stars she has had a second chance at life. As an unmarried mother, it could have been very different, and she is happy.


But when new maid, Susie, arrives at the Beach Hotel, it isn't long before sparks fly. Susie begins to meddle in Fanny's friendships and even in her budding romance with Walter, an American working at the aerodrome.


Meanwhile, a flu epidemic starts to spread and as more people fall ill, the hotel is forced to close.


Matters come to a head when Susie plots to reveal secrets about Fanny that could spell her ruin.


Can the hotel and the hardworking women who run it survive?
