Overview

Joe Baker has a dream. He wants to do 'something big.' When he needs a Gatling gun to accomplish this, he seeks out a black marketeer. The price he wants for the gun? A woman! So Baker kidnaps a woman off of the stagecoach, only to find that she is the wife of the commandant of the local Cavalry detachment. Things get further complicated when a girl named Dover McBride shows up. She has come to force Baker to marry her and return east, as he promised to do four years earlier

00:17:57 Men, I find myself rather at a loss for words.

00:22:14 How are you?

00:27:35 You were gone a lot longer this time than I thought you'd be.

01:09:29 You did what?

01:13:53 I can tell you now the real reason I'm not giving you to Johnny Cobb.

01:18:47 Of course, I could just take the gun from you and look the other way

01:22:27 One more week or else.

01:26:13 So I'll just go inside while you settle it with Mr. Cobb.
