Maurice Gauvin

A tiny Quebec community is thrown into an uproar when a tall young Texan named Bill arrives to claim a farm he has inherited. Bill's inability to speak French, and his apparent unwillingness to learn the language, foments plenty of ill will in the community. The story is resolved with an abundance of warmth and humor, sometimes hokey, sometimes hilarious.

Perfectly ordinary people murder, steal, and torture one another with casual abandon in order to solve their everyday problems.

A beautiful country girl and a seductive nightclub singer vie for the same good-looking man.
