Synopsis

Twenty-year-old Jennie marries an elderly farmer, Albert Peckingpaw. Because he cannot fulfill her desires, she attempts to seduce the naive young farmhand, Mario, who resists at first by getting drunk in town with his friend, Lulu Belle, but at last succumbs. Albert perceives what is proceeding behind his back, drugs the couple, chains them in the cellar, and, anticipating their deaths, digs their graves. As he returns to his house, however, he finds Lulu Belle standing by the barn. She seduces him, and Albert abandons his murderous plans. Mario frees himself and, unaware of the old man's change of heart, beats him until Jennie separates the two men. Filled with compassion, Jennie returns to Albert, but he gives her $2,000 and her freedom and goes off with Lulu.
