Story
Criminal loser Henry Moon was caught by a squad of criminal hunters and sentenced to be hanged. The harsh laws of the Wild West did not leave poor fellow Henry hopes for pardon, and the terrible hour of execution was already near. There was only one, the most incredible possibility: in those days, a doomed to death could be saved only ... by an unmarried woman! This woman had to promise the court to take the villain “on bail” and, most importantly, marry him!
