About
Don Johnson plays Ben Quick, a Southern drifter who is under suspicion as a 'barn burner.' Ben secures a job at the Mississippi mansion of town-boss Will Varner. Varner's daughter Noel and daughter-in-law Eula vie for the handsome Ben's attention, while the patriarch's weakling son Jody seethes. When a few local barns are burned, Ben is the primary suspect-and no one is more suspicious than Noel...
