Description

The story of Archie, a Mississippi cotton gin owner who has only one real joy in life: his child-bride Baby Doll. In a few hours he will really have her, because the one-year marriage agreement that has kept them under the same leaky roof--but never in the same bed--is about to run out. Baby Doll becomes the pawn in a battle between her husband and his enemy.
