Broadcast: April 4-25, 1971. The story of a battle between mother and son over the priceless and exquisite contents of a country house. Mrs. Gareth has amassed in her lifetime a magnificent collection of treasures at Poynton Park. Her son Owen has fallen in love with Mona, a girl of no taste but with a highly developed sense of possession. Mrs. Gareth worries that if Owen marries Mona her treasures will fall into the wrong hands. Fleda Vetch, a friend of Owen's mother and a kindred spirit in her appreciation of fine things, has fallen in love with Owen, but will hardly admit it, even to herself.
