PROTAGONIST BEN'S DILEMMA: He is kicked from one county of Louisiana to another as a barn burner although the accusation could not be proven true. He wants to live a good straight life but the dark cloud of bad reputation follows him wherever he goes.

HIS CHIEF OBSTACLE: No one will give him the break he deserves in the class-conscious Southern society.
ESTABLISHING SHOT: A barn burning.
INCITING INCIDENT: Ben Quick is asked to leave the county by sundown and look for his fortune somewhere else..
