Eight months pregnant, penniless Helen Ferguson is on a train from New York City to her hometown of San Francisco, having been shunned by her former lover/the baby's father, Stephen Morley, whose parting gift to her was this one-way economy train ticket arguably to get her out of his life for good.
Following a serious train derailment, Helen awakens in the hospital learning that she has suffered some minor injuries and was delivered of a healthy baby boy--and that the authorities believe that she is Patrice Harkness, whom Helen had befriended on the train along with her husband Hugh Harkness.
Patrice was also at an advanced stage of pregnancy, and the Harknesses were heading to Caulfield, Illinois to live with Hugh's well-off family because of the baby; it would have been the first time Patrice met them.
Weighing the risks against the benefits, When she learns that the Harknesses were both (all) killed in the accident, decides to continue the ruse and pretend to be Patrice into meeting Hugh's family in order to give her baby a better life than what would have been waiting for them in San Francisco.
Helen risks being discovered in this fraud in only knowing basic items about Hugh, Patrice, and the Harknesses in general, and/or by her true past catching up with her.
The situation is complicated by Hugh's brother Bill falling in love with who he believes is Patrice, and Helen in turn falling in love with him despite both fighting those feelings if only in respect for Hugh.
