Cherie, a na ve Pullman Porter, stumbles into a world of booze, sex, and jazz when he helps a white passenger. He is later hired to work at a lakefront casino. Despite prohibition, alcohol flows freely, and Eugene tends bar at lavish social events. His wife Eartha remains oblivious to the secrets and lies surrounding him. As Eugene's good looks and skills make him a sought-after man, he narrowly escapes seduction and scandal.
