In late 1940s Yorkshire, England, ambitious young man Joe Lampton, who has just moved from the dreary factory town of Dufton, arrives in Warnley, to assume a secure, but poorly-paid, post in the Borough Treasurer's Department. Determined to succeed, and ignoring the warnings of a colleague, Soames, he is drawn to Susan Brown, daughter of the local industrial magnate, Mr. Brown. He deals with Joe's social climbing by sending Susan abroad; Joe turns for solace to Alice Aisgill, an unhappily married older woman who falls in love with him.
