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...
