Features: During World War II, the already gray-haired Roy indulges in memories of twenty years ago on the newly rebuilt Waterloo Bridge. During an air raid, Roy accidentally meets ballet dancer Mala Lester and begins an eternal love. Under the pressing war situation, Roy is recalled to the battlefield and unable to hold a wedding, while Mala Lester is dismissed along with her friend Katy for failing to return to her dance troupe for a farewell. Amid unemployment and poverty, she still longs for Roy's return, only to find that the newspaper reports Roy's death. Mala Lester falls ill, and Katy sells herself to obtain food and medicine, encouraging Mala Lester to survive. After recovering from her illness, Mala Lester is deeply moved upon discovering Katy's truth, and she too, in her heart of ashes, joins this. In the cycle of arrivals and departures, Mala Lester smiles at the station, only to suddenly see Roy's figure. Seeing Roy again, Mala Lester is panicked and feels inferior, but Roy is filled with joy. Their reunion rekindles Mala Lester's hope for life, and with Katy's blessings, she follows Roy. Upon returning to Roy's home, at the grand welcome ball, their perfect match of talents and beauty leaves everyone envious. Their deep affection is revealed, but the Duke's words plunge Mala Lester into deep distress. To avoid disgracing Roy's family's glorious tradition, even Roy's deep love cannot save the cruel reality. The devoted Mala Lester, with the resolve of "If heaven has feelings, even heaven grows old," continues the tragedy in the chaos.
