And God Created Woman

Robin Shea escapes from a New Mexico prison and, by chance, ends up riding in the limousine of James Tiernan, a politician visiting the facility. Tiernan unexpectedly returns her to the prison in secret, hoping to preserve his image and avoid scandal. This impulsive escape sets the film's web of loyalties and lies into motion.

Inside the prison, Billy Moran, a carpenter under guard supervision, helps Robin temporarily hide from the guards. Their encounter turns intimate, establishing a forbidden connection that complicates both of their lives.

Robin realizes who James Tiernan is when she sees a political ad about prison reform. The recognition reshapes her view of her potential ally and the leverage he could have over her parole.

Robin manages to call James at his campaign headquarters, asking for help on her parole hearing. James offers strategic advice that hints at using personal connections to secure freedom.

During a discussion about Robin's future, James frames marriage as a practical route to early release rather than a romance. He encourages Robin to consider taking a spouse as part of her parole plan. The idea plants the seed for a decisive course of action.

Robin approaches Billy with an offer of five thousand dollars to marry her for a year so she can get out. Billy agrees, viewing it as a chance to secure a future with her and a sense of stability.

Robin is released not long after the marriage and moves into Billy's home where his brother Peter and son Timmy live. The new domestic setup introduces a blend of tenderness and tension as the family adjusts.

Robin pursues a musical career and forms a band with Peter joining the group. James reappears in the spotlight, using Robin's public success as a poster child for prison reform to bolster his campaign.

Robin begins affairs with James while Billy has a relationship with another woman, and the couples grapple with jealousy and shifting loyalties. The fragile balance of their blended family is tested by competing desires.

The morning after, Robin reconciles with Billy and helps him when his jeep breaks down. They work together restoring an old museum and share a night of intimacy in the workshop, only to be interrupted by tourists.

Tour photos of Robin in a public, compromising moment reach James, who grows jealous and orders that her parole be revoked. The alliance between them becomes visibly strained as power and affection collide.

Police come for Robin during a band performance; she flees to James' house for help, but he refuses to shelter her. She returns to Billy's home, where he has packed her belongings and money and vows to support her, prompting Robin to decide to stop running.

Robin and Billy crash James' political dinner, where Robin performs with her band, praising James for his help. The show earns a standing ovation and strengthens James' image, with him promising continued support.
