Synopsis – What to Expect from “Blood Simple”
Blood Simple is the story of a bar owner, Julian Marty (Dan Hedaya), who hires a private detective, Loren Visser (M. Emmet Walsh), to investigate his wife, Abby (Frances McDormand), whom he suspects is having an affair with one of his bartenders, Ray (John Getz).
The detective discovers that Abby and Ray are indeed having an affair and informs Marty. Marty, in a fit of rage, decides to hire the detective to murder them both. The detective agrees and sets up a plan to kill the two lovers.
Meanwhile, Abby and Ray are planning to run away together. They manage to get away, but the detective follows them and attempts to kill them both. In the process, Ray is killed and Abby is wounded.
Abby manages to escape and hide in a nearby motel. She is soon discovered by Marty, who decides to take matters into his own hands. He attempts to kill Abby, but she manages to fight him off and escape.
Meanwhile, the detective is still on the hunt for Abby. He finds her and attempts to kill her, but Abby manages to escape and hide in a nearby barn. Marty follows her and attempts to kill her again, but is stopped by the detective.
In the end, Abby manages to escape and the detective is arrested for his crimes. The movie ends with Abby and Marty reconciling and Abby telling him that she is pregnant with Ray
