Though the pair are stage thespians of some note, their relationship is not as it seems and in fact, Simon is boarding a train to move back to his mother's when his agent offers him the gig. When he meets the show's writer, Janet (Muriel Pavlow), Simon attempts to woo her, upsetting Laura in the process.
