A story of about Paul Courtland, a handsome and wealthy college man who changes his outlook on life when he sees a fellow student die in a fiery building in which they were both helping people escape. Paul begins to change his outlook on life, realizing the "Presence" of Christ in his life. But his new girl wants nothing to do with his change and seeks to sway him as best she can. Paul will eventually have to choose between beautiful Gila, or his faithful and loving Lord. Only one will truly bring him forever happiness and contentment! (
