"The simple story of LIFE through the window pane of the house across the street."
Film based on Elmer Rice's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about the lives and loves of the West Side Manhattan Street people. The Maurants are central. Daughter Rose wants to get ahead in life and therefore wants to leave the neighborhood. Sam Kaplan is the understanding neighbor. The rest of the neighborhood is mainly engaged in gossip. The talk of the town is the alleged affair between Mrs. Maurant and Steve Sankey. Meanwhile, Mr. Maurant also suspects that something is going on and tries to catch them. One morning he decides to pretend he has to go to Connecticut for work and waits until he sees Sankey enter his house. He immediately goes inside. Then the neighborhood hears a lot of screams, a fight and gunshots.
