The Long Hot Summer
“One woman's secret and another woman's love are all that can save him from a town's fury. Tonight, it's too hot to sleep!”
When drifter Ben Quick arrives in a small Mississippi town, Will Varner, a family patriarch, sees Ben as a better choice to inherit the family business than his only son, Jody. Will therefore tries to push Ben and his daughter Clara into marriage. Clara is initially reluctant to court Ben, and Jody senses that Ben threatens his position.
