Hal Carter, a drifter, arrives in town looking for work and visits his college friend Alan, who is dating Madge Owens with the intent to marry her. Her neighbor, Flo Owens, distrusts Hal, especially around her daughters, Madge and Millie. Since shy Millie does not have a date, neighbor Mrs. Potts suggests that Hal accompany her, much to the chagrin of Flo. There is an undeniable attraction between the two, as much as they try to fight it. While getting ready for the picnic, the family and friends dance in Flos backyard to music playing nearby. Hal grows on both Millie and Madge, and they both vie for his attention. Rosemary, an old maid schoolteacher who boards at the Owens house, notices, disapproves, and is attracted to the shirtless Hal as she waits for her Labor Day date, local shop proprietor Howard Bevans. ![]() ![]() Rosemary and her boyfriend Howard decide to skip the picnic and go for a drive. When she comes back outside and tries to console Hal, they kiss after a deep and revealing conversation. When Madge and Hal return, Madge is ashamed of what they did. Rosemary leaves with Howard to get married, and everyone goes to the street to see her off. When Madge is left alone in the backyard, Hal shows up to talk to her. He has spent the night in hiding after Alan falsely reported to the police that Hal stole his car, in order to drive him out of town for stealing Madge. The others come back into the yard, and Hal leaves after defending himself when Alan arrives to drive him away, but only after telling Madge that he loves her and asks her to leave with him, despite Flos presence and disapproval. Madge finally realizes that she loves him after hes gone, and she enters the house crying. A little while later, Madge comes out of the house with a suitcase and tells her mother that shes going after Hal.
