In Depression-era America, a man (Will Parker) on parole for murder answers a newspaper advertisement for a husband. It has been placed by a widow known in the nearby town of Whitney, as 'crazy Elly'. She has two children and another is on the way; they are all by her first spouse, who died in an accident.

Will is employed at Elly's farm as a hired hand, and in the months leading up to the birth of Elly's baby they fall in love. They marry, and are very happy until Will is set up for the murder of a local waitress by his former overseer. His imprisonment and a trial follow.
