Henry Moon, a third-rate outlaw in the 1860s, is a bank-robbery, horse thief and cattle thief, who is due to be hanged in Longhorn, Texas to the great glee of the local populace and especially of the deputy sheriff. Moon comes under especially close scrutiny from some women in the town, which turns out to be because of a local ordinance, dating back to Civil War days, that alowed a condemned man to be saved from the gallows if an unmarried lady would agree to marry him and be responsible for his good behaviour.

Julia Tate, the headstrong but genteel Southern virgin who weds Moon only to help her work the gold mine she insists is on her property, while Moon and Julia become lovers later on.
