On the Cotton Blossom, a floating theatre that travels the Mississippi, Magnolia Hawks, the daughter of the boat's kindly captain, Andy, and his stern wife, Parthy, grows up among actors and river people. She falls in love with the handsome gambler Gaylord Ravenal and follows him to Chicago, where his luck rises and falls, while her friend Julie, the boat's leading lady, is driven off the river when it is discovered that she has Black ancestry and is married to a white man, in a state where such marriages are forbidden.
