Ben Quick is on trial, suspected of barn-burning, but when no solid evidence is found, the judge expels him from town. Ben's father, Will Varner, is the domineering owner of most of the town. Will is also disappointed with the man that his daughter, Clara, has been seeing for five or six years, a genteel Southern "blue blood" and a mama's boy. Will schemes to push his daughter and Ben together to bring fresh, virile blood into the family.
