The residents of Peyton Place, Mass., are not happy when its most famous resident, Alison Mackenzie, writes a "shocking" novel detailing the sinful secrets of the town. Most outraged is malicious Roberta Carter, who wants the book banned from the school library. Roberta's other mission is to destroy her son Ted's marriage to his Italian bride. Theirs, however, isn't the only marriage in trouble: Alison's book is causing a rift between her mother and stepfather, who is also the school principal and one of the book's few defendants.

Return to Peyton Place (1961)
Young Allison MacKenzie who is called to New York for the final editing of her first novel (a thinly disguised case history of the residents of her hometown of Peyton Place), falls in love with her publisher, Lewis Jackman, an older married man. When the novel is published, many townspeople are outraged, particularly Roberta Carter, a domineering and snobbish woman determined to wreck her son Ted's marriage to his Italian-born wife, Raffaella. Hounded by her lurid past, Selena Cross is unable to face her lover, ski instructor Lars Hedlom. Allison's mother, Connie, shocked by her daughter's expose of the town's citizens, becomes enraged when her husband, school principal Mike Rossi, is fired because he refuses to remove the novel from the school library. Meanwhile, Roberta has finally succeeded in driving her daughter-in-law out of the house. Emotionally upset, Raffaella races to the ski slopes and nearly causes herself to have a miscarriage. Events come to a head when a town meeting is called to discuss Rossi's defense of the controversial novel. Allison and Lewis are present when Connie publicly stands by her daughter and denounces Roberta Carter as a hypocritical bigot. The crisis over, Mike is reinstated at the school, Selena is reunited with Lars, and Ted is reconciled with Raffaella when he finally stands up to his mother. A more mature and wiser Allison realizes that she could never find true happiness by destroying Lewis' marriage.
