Returning from National Service to a home dominated by a demanding and disapproving father, and now finding himself out of work, George Barker has little cause for optimism, other than the kind that has always come naturally to him.
He finds evening work, playing the organ in a club, and then, at his father's insistence, regular employment in an accounts office. Frustrated by the oppressive atmosphere at home and the small-mindedness of his employer, he establishes his independence by moving out and by resigning from his day job.
One romantic episode follows another, but with no lasting success. Eternally optimistic, however, he seizes a new opportunity as an agent and manager in the entertainment business. Here, he finds reward and satisfaction. All he needs now to make his world ideal is the right romantic partner, but she has so far eluded him.
