The story

Friends Deborah Bishop, Rita Phipps and Lora Mae Hollingsway are just about to take a group of children on a riverboat outing when they receive a message from their "dear friend" Addie Ross (heard but unseen during the film) informing them that she has left town and taken one of their husbands as a lover. However, Addie does not specify which woman's husband is involved. In flashbacks, each woman considers reasons why it might be hers.
