Direção: Ken Annakin, Arthur Crabtree, Harold French, Ralph Smart
Roteiro: W. Somerset Maugham, R.C. Sherriff
Quatro dos contos de W. Somerset Maugham são trazidos para a tela com cada um apresentado pelo autor. Em "Os Fatos da Vida", um jovem com grande potencial nas quadras de tênis vai a Monte Carlo e acaba fazendo exatamente o contrário do que seu pai recomendava. Em "The Alien Corn", um aspirante a pianista se dedica ao aperfeiçoamento de suas habilidades artísticas, mas descobre que não tem talento para alcançar as alturas que tanto almeja. Em "The Kite", um jovem que mora em casa e adora empinar pipas vai contra a vontade da mãe autoritária e se casa com a garota com quem está namorando. Ele logo volta para casa, para a alegria de sua mãe, mas reconsidera quando sua esposa começa um novo hobby. No capítulo final "The Colonel's Lady", um homem de meia-idade fica chocado ao saber que sua esposa um tanto desleixada escreveu uma coleção de poemas picantes e agora é uma autora de best-sellers.
