A man (named Archie Lee) is married to a much younger woman (nicknamed Baby Doll) who has agreed to consummate their marriage on her twentieth birthday. Coincidentally, on that very day they are having the cotton syndicate manager as guest, who is there to make justice against Archie Lee, who has set his cotton gin on fire.
Of all Williams I have seen this is the closest he gets to comedy. It is a well orchestrated film which is amusing to a certain extent. It is a satire of the U.S. South, of relations between ethnic groups, and of capitalism.
