A woman has a son after years of trying and due to the advice of an angel, can never cut his hair. This young man grows up to be freakishly strong and even more emotionally unstable. After somehow getting his parent's blessing to marry a Philistine woman, Samson makes a bizarre bet based off a poem he wrote in his head after tearing a lion in half with his bare fucking hands and then eating some honey from a beehive that formed within its rotting carcass. When the Philistine wedding guest can't figure out his poem, they threaten to murder the bride and her whole family... at her wedding. What were the stakes of this bet? One outfit each. 
Samson's unnamed wife manipulates him, he loses the bet, and the results are about what you'd expect from a man who can tear a lion in half. After Samson murders at least 60 people, he goes an hides in a cave while the authorities seek to execute him.
