With flashbacks, Connie Doyle's (Ricki Lake) early life is given to give us an idea of her mindset. When, at 18, she meets womanizer Steve Decunzo, she moves in with him and winds up pregnant. When she informs him of the fact, he kicks her out, denying responsibility. Destitute, Connie has nowhere to go, and, trying to find a shelter, gets inadvertently swept aboard a train at Grand Central Terminal. With no ticket, and no money with which to buy one, Connie rescued by Hugh Winterbourne and taken to his private compartment. There, she meets his wife, Patricia, who is also pregnant. When the train crashes, Connie is mistaken for Patricia and wakes up in the hospital, no longer pregnant.
