Ann Woodbridge, played by Joan Winmill, is the little rebel who is fed-up with the village of Shenston, her father’s Anglican vicarage, and everything the confining life of a vicar’s daugh ter represents. Stagestruck, she finally kicks over the traces and goes to London where it soon becomes apparent that despite success on the London stage, Ann has taken her boredom with her. A newspaper article telling of the Billy Graham Crusade awakens her memory of her Godly heritage, and in a scene with Colleen Evans, during which the American gives her own real-life testimony, Ann suddenly faces her spiritual need.
