The made-for-TV The Long Hot Summer was based on the short stories of William Faulkner. Don Johnson plays Ben Quick, a Southern drifter who is under suspicion as a 'barn burner.' Ben secures a job at the Mississippi mansion of town-boss Will Varner (Jason Robards). Varner's daughter Noel (Judith Ivey) and daughter-in-law Eula (Cybill Shepherd) vie for the handsome Ben's attention, while the patriarch's weakling son Jody (William Russ) seethes. When a few local barns are burned, Ben is the primary suspect-and no one is more suspicious than Noel.
