Summary
In the sun-scorched town of Fairfield, Florida, a duo of charismatic swindlers, Dan Corvan and Larry Maddox, weave a web of deceit as salesmen for a fictitious oil company. Their mark is the parsimonious Godfrey Queritt, whom they aim to fleece of his hard-earned wealth. As they ingratiate themselves with the townsfolk, Corvan becomes enamored with Margaret Leland, a local ingénue, and her trusting nature sparks a crisis of conscience within him. When an elderly lady beseeches Corvan to recover her son's pilfered funds, he seizes the opportunity to abandon his life of duplicity and embark on a path of redemption.
