He soon found occasion to journey to Weymouth on Britain's southern coast, where he somehow made contact with Henry Houghton, 55. Ex-Navy Petty Officer Houghton was a clerical officer at the Royal Navy's heavily guarded underwater experimental station at nearby Portland.

Caught in a nightmare marriage with a termagant hypochondriac (Clarice Blackburn), he falls in love with her winsome young cousin (Julie Harris). In the end, the lovers decide on suicide-downhill on a toboggan, crashing into a thick-trunked elm.
