The Long Hot Summer

When Ben Quick, a reputed barn-burner and ruthless opportunist, arrives in the small Southern town of Frenchman's Bend, it doesn't take him long to impress the town's 'owner', Will Varner. But this handsome stranger's heartless charm is not as appealing to Varner's daughter Clara.
