David Clemens checks into a sanitorium. He freaks out whenever somebody touches him. He is anti-social until he becomes taken with fellow patient Lisa Brandt. When she speaks, she can only do it in rhymes. He starts communicating with her in rhymes.

The rhyming aspect is a little manufactured but I do like that it forces David to work to communicate with Lisa. There is a sacrifice and a quest to their courtship. I'm willing to allow for some artistic license. It's poetic and it also allows for an easy resolution. These two troubled soul are very sweet. They are a couple of wallflowers who find each other in the corner of a crowded room. This is a slow sweet little romance.
