Overview

Nineteenth century Wyoming: the wild West. Mild-mannered Tom Healy has a two-wagon theater troupe hounded by creditors because Angela, his leading lady and the object of his affection, constantly buys clothes.

She's also the object of the attentions of Mabry, a gunslinger who's owed money by the richest man in Bonanza.
