Portrait painter Marion Froude agrees to write her biography for a weekly magazine, bringing former lovers into the spotlight: a Tennessee senatorial candidate fears political and marital fallout, while a fading Hollywood star hopes the memoir will revive his career. Her affair with the editor further complicates the project.
Fanny is a young woman whose childhood love, Marius, leaves her to go to sea as a sailor for five years. His father Cesar, a tavern owner, disowns him. After his departure, Fanny discovers she is pregnant. Under pressure from her mother, she marries Panisse, a wealthy older widower, whose delight at having an heir prompts him to keep the newborn boy's illegitimacy a secret. Marius returns on his son Cesario's first birthday to claim both him and Fanny, but he is turned away by Cesar, who is Panisse's best friend. As the years pass Cesario, now 13, longs to go to sea like his father, and runs away to join him. This is too much for the now ill and aged Panisse. Marius brings Cesario back to fulfill Panisse's dying wish for Marius and Fanny to be together. The role of Acolyte was originated by then-child actor Gary Wright who went on to become a successful musician and is best known for his highly popular 1976 hit single "Dream Weaver". While still in the show, Wright replaced Lloyd Reese in the role of Cesario.
