Concert pianist Manina Stuart and industrialist David Lawrence are flying from Rome to the USA. The plane has to make an emergency landing in Naples due to engine problems, and the two previously unknown people use the time to get to know the city. Manina is single and David's marriage to Catherine is in trouble. The tour of Naples brings Manina and David together. When they miss the onward flight, the two decide to stay in Naples for a while. You will visit Pompeii and Capri . David tells Manina about his work and his marriage. His wife Catherine had already agreed to a divorce, but changed her mind in a final letter. Manina insists that their friendship stay platonic. Eventually they decide to return to the US. However, they read in the newspaper that the plane they should have been flying on crashed over the Mediterranean and their names are on the death list. Suddenly they have the chance to start their life a second time.
The couple rents a villa in Florence and they give up their careers. At the same time, Catherine and her son David Jr. mourn the lost husband and father in the USA. Catherine also learns of a dubious bank transfer from her husband to a Maria Salvatini. She suspects that this woman was her husband's lover and that she will never know whether he wanted to divorce or return to her. Catherine and David finally set off for Italy to look for Maria Salvatini. When Catherine appears at Maria Salvatini's, Manina is also present. Manina realizes that Catherine blames herself for David's accidental death because he wanted to return to her. David Jr. finally recognizes Manina from the newspaper reports about the plane crash. Catherine suddenly sees that her husband is cheating on her with Manina, but is even happier that David is still alive. When Manina wants to visit them at the hotel, she only meets David Jr., who confesses to her that he and his mother know the real story. Catherine now writes to David that she will consent to a divorce.
Manina and David are now returning to their old lives and professions. Manina gives a concert in New York's Carnegie Hall with great success .
