When drifting bandit Rocky Snodgrass picks a random funeral viewing to pick-pocket from the bereaved (and deceased), he unexpectedly encounters the beautiful Livy Langhorne - granddaughter of the departed, and daughter of the town's police chief, Thomas Langhorne. Snodgrass does his best to court her -- both as a freeman and when he's behind bars -- but his plans run awry when a ring is required for her hand in a proper engagement. On a ride full of love, guns, and grave robbers, Snodgrass embarks on a journey filled with embellishment and tomfoolery in his search for the perfect ring.
