Película compuesta por tres historias independientes presentadas por Tyrone Power y con Irlanda como telón de fondo.

En la segunda, adaptación de la obra teatral de Martin J. McHugh "A Minute's Wait", se retrata el lento ritmo de la vida irlandesa utilizando como metáfora el sistemático retraso de un tren.
