Plot summary
Bo Gillis plays guitar and becomes a populist candidate for governor in a Southern state, with Sylvester Marin directing the campaign and Steve Jackson assisting him. Sylvester's exposure of a secret about the wife of Bo's opponent eases the way to victory. Before the vote, Bo stops at a nightclub and meets Ada Dallas, a prostitute whose upbringing was much like his own, and the two feel an instant bond. They wed, and Steve and Sylvester push for the marriage to be annulled. The couple refuse. Once Bo takes office, he does little more than sign the documents Sylvester puts in front of him.
