Storyline : Sixty-one year old widower Will Varner, in ill health, owns many
businesses and property in Frenchman's Bend, Mississippi, including a
plantation. To him, his children are a disappointment, they who he sees
as not being able to carry on the Varner name in the style to which he
has built around it. Son Jody Varner has no ambition and does not work,
spending much of his time fooling around with his seductive wife, Eula.
Twenty-three year old daughter Clara Varner he finds clever, but he
feels she also wastes her time on more contemplative pursuits. While
most of her contemporaries are married, Clara has been dating Alan
Stewart, a genteel mama's boy, for six years.{full_page}
