When drifter Valentine Xavier arrives in a southern town, he catches the eye of the married Lady Torrance and the oversexed alcoholic, Carol Cutrere . Both vie for his attention, with Lady Torrance emerging victorious, offering Xavier employment in her general store, while her cancer-stricken husband is bedridden upstairs. After impregnating Lady Torrance and butting heads with friends of her husband, Xavier must make a crucial decision.
