Sailor James Caan picks up Marsha Mason in a barroom pool game. Caan, an aging sailor in search of a family, befriends Mason's teenage son, of mixed race. It's really their relationship, not Caan and Mason's, that holds them together. When Mason turns out to be pregnant again, Caan accepts it and proposes marriage. The inevitable tragedy eventually follows. However, the ending turns out to be hopeful, bucking the trend of the usually downbeat endings from the 1970s.
