Plot.
A young American girl in London in the midst of the Great Depression attempts to commit suicide by drowning herself in Hyde Park. She is rescued by a trio of homeless park-dwellers who nurse her back to health. One of them, Archer, is an aspiring politician; he and Ann fall in love as they all look for work.
Critical reception.
A reviewer in "Variety" wrote, "The attempt to recall "Seventh Heaven", both in the title and some of the plot material, is obvious."
