The sultry Virginia Brush moved into Biff Grimes's neighborhood when he was a young man. The woman caught his eye and the eye of many men in 1890's New York. They quickly gave her the nickname "Strawberry Blonde." Although she warmed to Biff, Virginia brushed him off for another man. So Biff hastily married Amy, the genial nurse down the block. Years later, the unhappily married Biff again meets Virginia, and must tend to the sore tooth of Hugo Barnstead, the cad who stole Virginia away. Biff plans to get revenge on Hugo and win over the strawberry blonde. In the end, though, Biff discovers his romantic destiny is Amy after all -- the woman who stood by him through heartache as well as triumph. [More]
