[edit] Film Plot
In this western, three rambunctious young cowboys head for the hills after spending a night painting a town red and terrorizing its residents. During their flight, they find a woman from the East alone at her brother's home. They are preparing to rape her, but they do not count on her ingenuity. Using all her feminine wiles, she pits them against each other. She promises one of them anything he desires if only he will protect her from the others. He pays one fellow off and shoots the other in a duel. The honorable woman acquiesces to his wishes and marries him. He then tries to win her heart. In time he succeeds and the two come to an agreement.
