Synopsis: | The scene is the road leading to a dumping site used by a local chemical company. Monica, a young divorcee who works as a cleaning woman to support her family, and Clayton, a widower who runs a feed store, have set up barriers across the road, and are determined to turn away the next company truck which shows up. They have not met before, but their shared concern and outrage quickly builds a bond between them. When a truck does arrive they hold firm, much to the consternation of the young driver, who is only doing his job, and who seems more interested in arranging a date with Monica than in carrying out his responsibilities. Frustrated on both counts he leaves, and Clayton and Monica, flushed with victory, make a date to go square dancing the next night-but not before making it clear that they will be quickly back at the barricades should circumstances demand. | |||||
