When a bank robber assumes the identity of a deceased US Marshal, he finds himself forced to remain in the role after stumbling into a town and confronting the local judge. As he navigates this new persona, he is aided by an old flame who agrees to pose as his wife, bringing a sense of stability and respectability to their lives. However, their ruse is threatened by the presence of a young orphan boy, the judge's ward, and the woman's conflicting loyalties to her former boyfriend and her growing feelings for the man she's pretending to be married to.
