| Plot: | Henry Moon is captured for a capital offense by a posse when his horse quits while trying to escape to Mexico. He finds that there is a post-Civil War law in the small town that any single or widowed woman can save him from the gallows by marrying him. Julia Tate needs a man to help her work her mine and marries him. The sheriff makes it very clear to Moon what the consequences of his leaving Julia will be. The two begin to try to form a relationship based on necessity in which they have nothing in common. |

Revealing mistakes: Moon is on the gallows to be hanged, but the gallows has a solid platform with no visible trap door. Revealing mistakes: After the ladies had their chat in the kitchen, a whistle tells that the water is boiling. The kettle shown in close up is a plain water kettle and has no whistle. |
Quotes

Henry Moon: Anybody hungry? Big Abe: [deadpan] Hungry! I'm so hungry I could eat a frozen dog. [to a homely woman who's sizing him up for matrimony] Henry Moon: I wouldn't take you to a dog-fight if you was the defendin' champ! Sheriff Andrew Kyle: Julia, are you drunk? Julia Tate: Sheriff Kyle, you know I don't drink. Henry Moon: 'Course she don't drink! Henry Moon: Well, I ain't no slab of meat to be auctioned off, but, what the hell. Fine by me. Deputy Towfield: [of Moon's marriage] It's bad, huh? Henry Moon: Like eggs rolled in sand. |
