Synopsis
Louise, nicknamed Frenchie King, is the leader of a woman’s gang with
her four sisters. They attack a train and steal important
documents belonging to Doc Miller, which include the deeds to a ranch
at Bougival Junction. The arrival of Louise and her gang
infuriates Maria Sarrazin, the leader of another gang comprising
herself and her four brothers. Through her influence over the
sheriff, Maria tries to have Louise chased out of the town, but in
vain. Louise soon discovers just why Maria is so keen to drive
her away: the ranch contains an important oil concession which could
make the owner rich beyond the dreams of avarice...
