A breakdown on the London Underground provides the opportunity for Jack, a city bus conductor, to strike up a conversation with fellow passenger Anne. She's the young woman whom Jack had admired from afar riding daily on his route. ... that was until he got reassigned. He's smitten but she's trying to get to a date with Victor Colebrooke: dapper, aristocratic, refined, rich, eligible man-about-town Victor Colebrooke. An audiophile and collector of rare music albums, Victor met Anne at the record store where she works which provides a springboard for an interesting soundtrack. Yes, Victor is quite the catch. But what the bus conductor lacks in sophistication he makes up for in youthful charm and Victor is ... well older. And then, there is his temper. And his mother, whom he lives with, is concerned. Of course it's nothing, but Victor's ancestry is a bit dodgy.
