It's hard enough for Raoul to play cowboy to a bunch of raggedy steer, but it's exquisite torture living with the delectable Charmaine, who's declared herself a born-again virgin. What's a man crazy with desire to do? Seduce her on their home on the range, even if it means taking advice from his three bachelor ranch hands, Charmaine's belly-dancing great-aunt, and St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes. With the moon shining over the bayou and the Dixie Mafia in hot pursuit, this Cajun cowboy must keep his wife safe as he tries to sweet-talk his way into her arms again...before she unties the knot for good!
