Hiram and Rachel, a nave young couple, married at sixteen and now with four kids, see their world ending as Hiram is convicted of murder and sentenced to death.

The setting is a quiet, little Indiana town which finally got its chance to have a legal hanging. The event was advertised far and wide. And hordes of people came to witness the execution. Hordes of people came twice to witness the hanging of one man a young man now known as Hiram the Hoss.
