Shirley Downs has always known shes not just an ordinary girl
- after all, how else could she have tempted Freddy Clements away from his long-time fiancee, Beth Castle?
But when she enters
- & wins
- a singing contest in the small seaside town of St Davids Well, she begins to realise that her talent is really something special.
It is 1941, however, & a career on the stage takes second place to rationing, to the threat of bombs & the reality of make do & mend.
Nevertheless, Shirley is determined that singing & dancing will take first place
- above her daytime job, above her would-be lover, Joseph Beynon, & even above the friends who have helped her get where she is.
Meanwhile, Eirlys Price returns to Wales with her tail between her legs when her flight to the big city ends in disaster.
