Texas, shortly after the Civil War. Henry Moon is an outlaw, on the run from the law. He is captured trying to escape to Mexico and taken back to town to be hanged. The town has a special law that a condemned man can walk free if one of the single women of the town offer to marry him. Henry is in luck - at the last moment Julia Tate offers to marry him, and pretty soon they are married. However, Henry soon discovers that Julia's motives are purely business-orientated - she needs someone to work the mine on her property. This makes for a very cold marriage. 译文(2): 德克萨斯州，内战后不久。亨利 · 穆恩是个逃犯，在逃避法律制裁。他在试图逃往墨西哥时被捕，并被带回镇上吊死。镇上有一条特别的法律规定，如果镇上的一个单身女人主动提出嫁给一个被判死刑的男人，他就可以获得自由。亨利很幸运——在最后一刻，茱莉亚 · 塔特向他求婚，很快他们就结婚了。然而，亨利很快发现，朱莉娅的动机纯粹是商业导向——她需要有人在她的财产上开采煤矿。这使得一个非常冷淡的婚姻。
