Flipper decides to begin courting his mistress, only to be greeted by disapproval from friends, family and even strangers. The relationship continues to be strained in a society not ready to accept it, and people are hurt during the course of the romance. In the end, Flipper tells Angie that the relationship was based on sexual racial myths and not love, but Angie does not agree.
