Beautiful and talented Tessa Clarke (Thomas) returns to Australia from the U.S. intent on establishing her own fashion design business, and to reunite with her father Bert (Tingwell) and younger sister Sally (Annesley), a drug addict and call-girl with a taste for dangerous men and an intense jealousy of her older sister. Tessa’s fledgling empire is crushed when a former employer, Pamela Winter-Smith (Wallace), wins a court claim on her designs. Tessa flees to the Gold Coast where she falls for Chris (Healey), a handsome nightclub owner with underworld connections and a sordid past. Leaving Chris behind, Tessa’s business is saved by the investment of secretive millionaire Phillip Harmon (Clarke). Just as everything is looking up, Chris comes back to haunt Tessa and Bert is tragically killed in a mysterious explosion.
