In 1916, Chicago steelworker Bill accidentally kills his factory foreman during an argument.

In Texas, a wealthy farmer suffering from an unspecified malady hires as many seasonal shockers as he can find, including Bill and Abby, who pretend to be siblings to deter gossip.

Bill encourages Abby to marry the farmer so that they can inherit his money when he dies.
