A kidnapping leads to love for a down-on-his-luck cowboy in this romantic comedy drama from director Terry Moloney. When former rodeo rider Roper Wylie (Mark Collie) hits rock bottom, he quickly schemes to kidnap wealthy Alabama socialite Goodie Blankenship (Coley McCabe) on the assumption that her husband will gladly pay a hefty ransom for her safe return. What Roper doesn't realize is that Goodie's husband and lover have been secretly planning to have her killed for months. As the hapless kidnapper and the jilted wife each begin to sympathize with the other's plight, love soon blossoms and fuels their hunger to take revenge on Goodie's uncaring husband.
