Softhearted, emotionally delicate Patricia Dennison, orphaned heiress to the Stoneham lot of money, divides her life between journeys to a Swiss sanatorium, where she is ensconced in the suicide ward, and the plantation where she pensions off broken-down horses, cultivates a lush rose garden (with ladybugs, not pesticides), and moons after having a handsome, relatively heroic doctor. Enter arrogant Miguel Cardiga, a Portuguese bullfighter whose career is sidelined by a rogue bull's fatal horns. Son of a famous equestrian, Miguel schools Patricia in dressage and love's thrust and parry. Meantime, Stoneham Group trustees story to declare Patricia incompetent and engineer a series of accidents designed to drive her over the edge.
