"Heartbreak in Heaven" features Sergeant Thorens Newell, a Marine who becomes romantically involved with a woman named Marzetta, only to face complications when his past and her insecurities threaten their relationship. Another story involves a woman named Miss Lewis who uses "kisses for bait" as a romantic strategy, and encounters Mr. Huntington, a man from her workplace who becomes interested in her, though she initially rebuffs his advances due to her reluctance to become emotionally invested in relationships.
