The Hunts' three-year pregnancy clause expires in ten days when the family patriarch tells Nolan he must produce a pregnancy for his wife Queenie or pack up and leave. Queenie admits she loves another man, Keith, and accuses her father of arranging the marriage to separate them. Nolan plans to show a pregnancy-test report to the patriarch to save the union. But when he presents the test, someone interjects, "That's impossible. I never touched her," undermining his evidence. With the test disputed and time running out, Nolan's right to stay is left unresolved.
