When cowboy Steve Daley faces hanging for a murder he didn't commit, he has one way out: if he marries firebrand Cheyenne to save her inheritance he'll walk free. After the ceremony, she wants nothing to do with him but he's intrigued and sets about wooing her. Harmon Jones' western mirrors Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and was an influence on the 1975 film Goin' South.
