In a small town in the South, Jim Preston resents his stepfather, Judge Calhoun Davis, in spite of everything the judge has done to be a father him. "Cal" is the most respected man in town, and makes his judgements in court with authority and generosity. He married Jim's mother Martha after her first husband died, having loved her since their childhood. Both Cal and Martha are mystified as to how to transform Jim from a rebellious and lazy youth to a responsible, hard-working adult.
