Doc Delaney and his wife, Lola (Burt Lancaster and Shirley Booth), are a lonely middle-aged couple. Lola suffered a miscarriage shortly after their shotgun wedding, yet they remain married, either out of habit or out of guilt. The years have not been kind to the Delaneys. Lola, once a stunning and vibrant beauty, is now a fat, lazy and slovenly woman. When she is not loafing around the house, she is mourning the loss of her beloved puppy, Little Sheba. Doc is convinced that the dog is gone for good, but Lola clings to the hope that Little Sheba might return one day.
