Moone is a bank robber and horse thief whose neck is scheduled to be caressed by the coarse noose of a hangman's rope, as reward for his many trans gressions against border town society and the upstanding folks of Longhorn, Texas.

...real me's," says Sissy Spacek, 28, who struts about in diamonds and furs for her first role as a mature woman in Heart Beat. The movie tells the story of the late Beat author Jack Kerouac and of Neal Cassady, a onetime car thief and the model for Dean Moriarty in Kerouac's 1957 novel On the Road. Spacek plays Carolyn, a well-bred commercial artist who is married to Neal.
