Arthur, one of Britains angry young men of the 1960s, is a hardworking factory worker who slaves all week at his mindless job for his modest wages. Come Saturday night, hes off to the pub for a loud and rowdy beer session. With him is Brenda, his girlfriend of the moment. Married to a fellow worker, she is nonetheless captivated by his rugged good looks and his devil-may-care attitude. Soon a new love interest Doreen enters and a week later, Brenda announces shes pregnant. She tells Arthur she needs money for an abortion, and Arthur promises to pay for it. By this time, his relationship with Doreen has ripened and Brenda, hearing of it, confronts him. He denies everything, but its obvious that their affair is all but over.
Early twenty-something Arthur Seaton was born into a working class family in Nottingham, England, and seems destined to remain in that working class life. He doesnt much like that life, from his dead end factory job to having to abide by those in authority. He doesnt much respect either his boss or his parents, into whose "dead from the neck up" lifestyle as he calls it he is determined not to fall. As someone tells him, he doesnt seem to know the difference between right and wrong, or at least he doesnt care. To dull the pain of his life, he spends his time boozing on Saturday nights, and having an affair with the more mature Brenda, a mother and wife married to his friend and co-worker, Jack. Arthur and Brenda are able to carry on since Jack works evenings. Arthur then falls into an innocent courtship with Doreen Gratton, which lends an air of respectability into his life. Doreen is slow to let Arthur into her life in a romantic sense. In juggling his time between Brenda and Doreen and having to deal with a few issues concerning his relationship with Brenda, Arthur may unwittingly find whether he is indeed headed toward that same life from which he is so trying to hide.
