***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** Cafe singer (Buckman) seduces up-and-coming candidate for governor (Richard Brown). When they are exposed, his political career and marriage are ruined. Angie and Richard try to make a life together. But their financial fortunes and, eventually, their affection for each other spiral downward throughout the latter two-thirds of the movie. After they split up Richard finally sobers up and takes a mundane job typing uninteresting data into a computer. Kate, former wife (Jayne Gray) comes for a visit to Richard's more than humble dwellings. At first he thinks she's come to gloat; but she really seems to care for him, still! They get back together and reestablish their home, considerably down scale from "pre-Angie" times. The movie ends with a chance (not likely) meeting between Richard and Angie in front of his new home. Kate watches the encounter from a distance on their front porch which ends in a sad, but permanent, good-bye.
