Gaylord Ravenal was just a gambler living completely on charm before finding himself the male lead on the show boat "The Cotton Blossom." He immediately falls in love with the proprietor's daughter, marries then gets her pregnant and moves his family to Chicago. But after 10 years of wedded bliss, although off of his gambling earnings, he realizes he can offer his family very little. Although he spends twenty years away from both his wife, he is no less in love in love with her which makes the end all the more heart wrenching.
