Charles Adare (Michael Wilding) arrives in Australia in 1831 with his uncle, the new Governor. Unsuccessful in Ireland, Charles hopes to make his fortune in Sydney. He is befriended by Sam Flusky (Joseph Cotten), a prosperous ex-convict. Sams wife, Lady Henrietta (Ingrid Bergman), "Hattie", was a friend of Charles sister in Ireland. Sam hopes that the young man will be able to cheer up his wife, who is a mentally unstable alcoholic. Meanwhile, the attractive housekeeper, Milly (Margaret Leighton), secretly loves Sam, and encourages Hatties drinking. Sam has been sent to an Australian prison after he confessed to a killing that Hattie actually committed. She had followed him and waited for his release. Charles efforts to rehabilitate Hattie conflict with Millys intentions. Eventually, Sam becomes jealous, and in a rage, accidentally shoots Charles. This time Hattie accepts the blame for the shooting. Milly, seeing her chances to win Sam slipping away, attempts to poison Hattie.
