A young woman returns to her wealthy, liberal San Francisco home with her fiancé to introduce him to her parents. She springs the surprise that he is a highly accomplished and respected doctor who also happens to be black. Her parents' progressive ideals are put to the ultimate test, forcing them to confront their own hidden prejudices as they have only one afternoon to decide whether to support the marriage.
