[edit]

In 1893 Pecos, Texas, two cowhands join forces with a lady marshal. The town is surprised when the new marshal they hired, "Terry Moran", turns out to be the daughter of the famous lawman, of the same name, whom they thought they were hiring. The "petticoat marshal" proves her competence, deputizes the cowhands, and help protect landowner Bailey from the depredations of manipulative businessman Conroy and his gang.
