As punishment for getting rid of his wife, prosecutor Mississippi wants to marry Anastasia, who also murdered her husband. Anastasia, however, rejects such a form of punishment and instead begins an affair with Mississippi's adversary. The situation gets visibly out of control when an ominous count and former lover of Anastasia appears.

Kurt Hoffmann, der bereits Werke von Erich Kästner und Thomas Mann verfilmt hatte, versuchte sich hier an einem Dürrenmatt-Stoff, den der Autor filmkonform zurechtschreiben musste. Die Ehe des Herrn Mississippi, in Zürich und Berlin gefilmt, gehört zu den wenig beachteten, aber umso zeigenswerteren Filmen deutsch-schweizerischer Produktion.
