Film Synopsis

On the eve of her execution, Nancy Mannigoe, the nurse of the daughter of the governor of the state of Mississippi, tells her father why she was driven to kill the child of Temple and Gowan.  Several years before, Temple was kidnapped by a bandit named Candy and the two grew attached to one another.  When, some time later, Candy returned, Nancy killed the child to prevent her mother from leaving with him.
