A melodrama set in a small town in Iowa, full of intrigues and multiple subplots and revolving around a love triangle that leads to a feud between the two landowners involved, the film reportedly bears some relationship to PEYTON PLACE in its realistic critique of provincial attitudes and behavior.
Gossipmongers, bigots, Babbitts, and hypocrites gather around the cracker barrel to destroy the lives of the innocent. The peaceful Scott is victimized as a result of his unfulfilled love for Hohl's wife, Johnson.
SYNOPSIS WITH SPOILERS. Randolph Scott has an innocent crush on Kay Johnson, who's trapped in a loveless marriage to Arthur Hohl. The village gossips - purely from spite, and lacking anything else to do - convince Hohl that Scott has cuckolded him, driving Hohl to attempt to murder Scott.
