Synopsis
An unemployed young actor and his wife live with his semi invalid mother and shy older sister until something turns up.
Their life style conflicts with the mother's.
The climax occurs when the wife returns with an expensive silk shirt for a good friend, now blind.
The mother's outraged at the wife's extravagance and conflict's renewed until the sister - understanding human motives - asserts herself.
