Paul and Clarissa are Frank's children. Paul is ten-years-old, highly intelligent, and keeps homing pigeons. Frank finds his son's attempt to send one of his pigeons to heaven with a message for Ralph to be a sign of his emotional stability.
Clarissa is unaware of the tension in her home and grows into a beautiful young woman.
