A man incurs gambling debts and his life is threatened because of it. He concocts a plan to get a single lady he is acquainted with to marry him. She has money, which could be a solution to his problem, but she is very large, tall lady and he is not attracted to her. If you don't like spoilers, don't read any farther. She resists at first but quickly finds out that she needs to be married in order to keep control of her inheritance. (Kind of a strange and sudden development.) So, she agrees to marry him, not knowing about the gambling debt. Once married, she decides to go on a suicidal series of adventures - for which he has no appetite. Fearing that he may not be able to squeeze the money out of her, he has to come up with another plan.

A gambler is in to the mob for a lot of money and they are ready either to collect, of make an example of him to their other clients. The only way out that he can see is to marry rich. He has just the right girl in mind, but can he convince her, and if he can, will he be able to get what he wants?
