He rents a room in Jamie Rowan's house, who is a widow with a young daughter. Pat and Jamie soon develop a close friendship but decide that marriage is not for them. They agree to work on a project together, a device to measure atmospheric conditions, which leads to their realization that they have fallen in love with each other.
