(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

The western town of Las Mujaras is run completely by women, centered around the saloon and gambling hall of Iron Mae. When the neighboring town of Silver City begins to close down, many of their men move to the city of women. There is the doctor, a nice enough fellow who is railroaded into town by one of the young girls but decides to stay. However, when an old flame of Mae's arrives and tries to take over things start to get a bit testy. He uses his political clout and threatens to take over, but she has too many friends. They have competing plans to rob a stage full of money. Things come to a head in the final shoot out. Unusual to say the least, similarly themed to the superior Johnny Guitar, but not without merits of its own.
