  This is a story about the class system encountered by Ruby (Jennifer Jones) who thought "marrying up" with Boake Tackman (Charlton Heston) would give her the social status she desired. When Boake marries Tracy (Phyllis Avery) instead of Ruby, she marries the very wealthy Jim Gentry (Karl Malden). Later, Jim is killed in an accident, Ruby inherits his fortune, and calls in his loans. Boake is now turned on by Ruby, but their romance is ill-fated, and tragedy lies ahead.
