Chez lui, devant sa mère, Freddie accuse son père d'avoir volé sa fille, car il a trouvé Cheryl en train de servir un repas à George au milieu de la nuit, alors que son mari Bobby était de garde à la caserne des pompiers. George se sépare alors de sa femme Helen, quitte son emploi, emménage dans un entrepôt et demande à Cheryl d'emménager avec lui.

Frank Taylor, un ouvrier, s'est fait prendre sa place par un immigrant polonais. Pour se venger des étrangers, il entre dans une secte, « la Légion noire », sorte de Klu Klux Klan dont les membres pillent, incendient et massacrent, souvent guidés par leurs rancunes personnelles. Taylor va même jusqu'à tuer son meilleur ami. Mais, pris de remords, il dénonce l'organisation et les coupables sont immédiatement appréhendés. Lui-même est condamné à la prison à vie.

Hella is around 30 and works in a pharmacy. She is waiting for the right man to step into her life, but as she has a certain affinity for losers, she is kind of disillusionized. When she gets to know Levin, a dentist student who likes cars most, her dreams seem to come true. Levin has a very rich grandfather who likes her at first glance. The old man thinks of changing his last will to the condition that Levin has to marry Hella in order to inherit his fortunes. Like in a fairy-tale the door to a new life opens for Hella, but can she take it?
