Storyline

After years of suffering under her beating husband, Sarah decides to no longer take any humiliation or battery - and kills him. For that, Marshal Speakes - her father in law - sentences her to the Gallows. During a failed hold-up on the coach she escapes - but Jack Cooper manages to snatch away the transported $2500 from her, which she would have needed to start a new life. So she follows him to get it back. Soon they have to team up against the Marshal, who wants her dead so badly, he doesn't mind breaking the law himself... Written by Tom Zoerner <Tom.Zoerner@informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

Quotes

Marshall Bill Speakes: [to Sarah] Yes ma'am, we're going to wrap a necklace of good Kentucky hemp around that little neck of yours. Have you ever heard the sound a broke neck bone makes? It sounds like a carrot.
