Handlung
Literaturverfilmung über einige Schicksale aus einer heruntergekommenen Farmerfamilie im amerikanischen Süden. Die Tochter stürzt sich in die Arme eines Zirkusvagabunden; eine Halbweltdame, eine streitsüchtige Alte, ein resignierter Säufer und ein schwachsinniger Riese vervollständigen die Galerie absonderlicher Menschen.
