A young journalist moved to Taos art colony to write his novel and
becomes involved with the town people which leads to flight after
he attempts to better his economic situation by stealth after a
robbery in the town.
Howard, a young journalism student, is just scraping through life
at Wayne State University after the Army, using all the tricks he
can conjure to get money. Then he meets Marian Herbaugh as new
classes begin and his life is never the same. Marian is a wealthy
Grosse Pointe girl, who had been at college in New York until her
father had a heart attack. She came home to be with her family
during her father's final days. But the father's illness stretched
on and when the fall term began, Marian enrolled at Detroit's
working class university, Wayne State. Marian met Howard Keck in
Contemporarily American Literature. From the first date, both were
smitten with one another; there was no going back. But the dark
abyss of their opposing economic backgrounds was waiting. From the
onset, Marian's father, after learning of his daughter's affection
for Howard, manages to recover from his heart malady, and sets a
course to drive a wedge between the two lovers. The father is
ruthless and he has only one rule; win, no matter what the cost. He
goes to his silent business partner, Aschenbrenner, for help, and a
sinister plan to crush Howard is launched. Marian, at the mercy of
a determined father, listens to his condemnation of Howard and his
future ability to make money to support her lifestyle. She wavers.
A new suitor is quickly found for Marian, a man who meets all the
criterion of the father. And once the marriage proposal is made,
Howard is out. He wanders to Florida seeking relief from his loss,
and is successful in being hired at Fort Lauderdale Newspaper. He
becomes involved with people in the anti-Castro movement. Marian,
who becomes aware she has made a mistake in her hasty marriage,
wants to be free again, and contacts Howard to help her. Howard
returns to Michigan and the two are united. But Marian's father
continues his campaign against Howard and is determined to salvage
his daughter's marriage. When the father urges the husband to take
action, it results in an unexpected series of events no one
expected.
