Fashion designer Marian (Melissa Gilbert) meets the man of her dreams, dashing lawyer Edward Moran (Joe Penny). Their attraction is instant, but after the lovebirds get married, Marian makes a shocking discovery about her in-laws: They're in the Mafia, and that includes her dear husband, Edward. To Marian's horror, she soon finds herself entangled in their drug-running activities. And now that she's part of the crime family, there's no way out -- except in a casket.
