John dumps Charlotte at a party hosted by Sam that night, a heartbroken Charlotte runs away sobbing, and it's all very sad. Her father is forewarned, however, and in an ugly confrontation he browbeats John into giving up Charlotte. In 1927, Charlotte Hollis (Davis), teenage daughter of Louisiana plantation owner Sam Hollis, is on the verge of running away with a married man, John Mayhew ( Bruce Dern).
