It seems he must remain a bachelor if he is to receive his inheritance. He meets Lola, a beautiful and thoughtful woman who enriches his life and makes him think about his actions. They soon marry. Meanwhile, Barry s father feels remorse for banishing his son, and invites him back into his life. Lola is fearful of meeting Barry s father for the first time, and convinced that Barry will not get his rightful inheritance, selflessly leaves him. Years later, they meet again in a hospital where Lola is a nurse - in order to support Peter, the child Barry never knew they had.
