    Foot of the Gallows Marriage: A folk tradition, primarily attested in medieval France and Germany, in which one condemned to die could be saved and granted a full pardon if a citizen of moral character stepped forward before the execution and consented to wed the condemned.

    Christine Cunningham is found dead on the outskirts of the small village of Hawkins. The only suspect: Eddie Munson, blamed by circumstance and without solid proof of his innocence. His execution is all but assured until a voice rises up from the assembled crowd shouting, “I will marry him.”
