In 1894 Bougival Junction, New Mexico the French settled town is led by Marie Sarrazin. Then a new family arrives, calling themselves the Millers, but in fact they are the daughters of the hanged outlaw Frenchie King. His eldest daughter Louise seeks to keep her father's name and legend alive by donning men's clothing and continuing his criminal ways. Louise and Maria fight but when they are both jailed by the overwhelmed sheriff they team up to take revenge on the town's men.
