Public defender Aryon Greydanus is appointed as Francine’s attorney and tries to gain insight into her motive. Initially reluctant, Francine recounts her life and the events leading up to the murder. </p><p>In 1964, sixteen-year-old Francine meets Mickey Hughes, and the two marry shortly after. Mickey begins displaying signs of jealousy and anger and physically abuses Francine, often in the presence of his parents. The abuse escalates over the years, and circumstances worsen with Mickey’s alcoholism. Francine divorces Mickey and takes their three young children. Mickey tries to convince Francine to get back together with him, promising he has changed his ways, but Francine refuses. After learning Mickey has been involved in a serious car accident, Francine agrees to care for him temporarily in his parents’ home; however, the situation eventually traps Francine into a <a href="/wiki/Domestic_partnership" title="Domestic partnership">domestic partnership</a> with him. As the children get older, Francine takes business courses at a <a href="/wiki/Community_college" title="Community college">community college</a>, much to Mickey’s disapproval. Mickey’s abuse becomes relentless, and Francine tries to leave numerous times, only for Mickey to follow her and threaten her into returning. She also seeks help from the police, family courts, and Mickey’s family, but to no avail. </p><p>As the case goes to trial, Francine testifies about the horrifying instances of abuse she suffered from Mickey over the years and what happened the day of the murder: </p><p>Francine returns home late from school, after giving a classmate a ride home, enraging a drunken Mickey. He refuses to allow her to cook <a href="/wiki/TV_dinners" class="mw-redirect" title="TV dinners">TV dinners</a> for the family and beats her. He then orders her to quit school, and when Francine refuses, he destroys her school books and forces her to burn them. Later that night, at dinner, Mickey beats her again and knocks the food on the floor. He rubs Francine’s face in the mess and orders her to quit school again. A defeated Francine agrees. Afterwards, Mickey <a href="/wiki/Rapes" class="mw-redirect" title="Rapes">rapes</a> her and falls asleep in a drunken stupor. Francine goes to the garage and obtains a can of gasoline, which she pours over Mickey’s body. She takes her children to the car and drives away as the house becomes engulfed in flames. As the jury returns from deliberation, Francine is found not guilty by reason of <a href="/wiki/Temporary_insanity" class="mw-redirect" title="Temporary insanity">temporary insanity</a>, and she is embraced by her children. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Burning_Bed&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Farrah_Fawcett" title="Farrah Fawcett">Farrah Fawcett</a> as <a href="/wiki/Francine_Hughes" title="Francine Hughes">Francine Hughes</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Paul_Le_Mat" title="Paul Le Mat">Paul Le Mat</a> as James Berlin "Mickey" Hughes</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Richard_Masur" title="Richard Masur">Richard Masur</a> as Aryon (Arjen) Greydanus</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Grace_Zabriskie" title="Grace Zabriskie">Grace Zabriskie</a> as Flossie Hughes</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Penelope_Milford" title="Penelope Milford">Penelope Milford</a> as Gaby</li> <li>Christa Denton as Christy Hughes, age 12</li> <li><a href="/wiki/James_Callahan_(actor)" title="James Callahan (actor)">James T.
