** [[YourMileageMayVary your mileage may vary]] on this, but that story is only as plausible as Frankie's defense lawyer's story; that is, censored for public audiences. (Five-year-olds DID see this, after all...)

Rejecting someone is not adultery.


* DeathByWomanScorned: Johnny, allegedly. [[spoiler:And Honest John, definitely.]] Johnny also attempts to kill Frankie for spurning him in Honest John's version of the events.

It was actually a verbal backspace.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalSympathy: In the original song, Johnny was sleeping with Nelly Bly, which is why Frankie shot him. In the short, Johnny was simply rehearsing a music performance with Nelly Bly and was MistakenForCheating by Frankie.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The original song depicts Frankie as a typically good-natured woman who simply turned to violence because of Frankie's infidelity, with the closing lines openly sympathizing with her. In the short, Frankie is a short-tempered woman who's quick to jump to assumptions and, according to the bartender and Nelly Bly's testimonies, instantly assumed that Johnny was cheating on her when she heard that he was alone with Nelly Bly. [[spoiler:The short even ends with her killing Honest John after making the same mistake in judgement.]]
* AdaptationExpansion: The original song ends with Frankie being arrested by the police after shooting Johnny. The short, meanwhile, focuses on Frankie's trial (which is only briefly mentioned in the song) and depicts the main story through a RashomonPlot, ultimately [[spoiler:depicting Frankie accidentally proving her guilt by publicly shooting Honest John for dancing with Nelly Bly]].
