Synopsis
Dot and Reggie are London teenagers who marry and immediately run into problems. When Dot proves to be more interested in hairstyles, movies, and comic books than in keeping house and cooking meals, Reggie spends more and more time at his motorcycle club, where he meets Pete. Soon Reggie moves to his grandmother's house and shares a room with Pete, who proves to be much more domestic than Dot. On a motorcycle race to Edinburgh, Dot and Reggie renew their affection for each other, but when Reggie returns home, he finds Dot in bed with another man. Pete tries to persuade him to go with him to New York, but in a dockside pub, Reggie discovers that Pete is a homosexual and walks away.
