Annie Oakley is the best shot around, and she manages
to support her little brother and sisters by selling the game she hunts.
When she's discovered y Col. Buffalo Bill, he persuades this novel sharpshooter
to join his Wild West Show. It only takes one glance for her to fall head
over heels for dashing shooting ace Frank Butler, who headlines the
show. She soon eclipses Butler as the main attraction, which while good
for business, is bad for romance. Butler hightails if off to join a rival
show, his bruised male ego leading the way, but is ultimately pitted against
Annie in a final shoot-out. The rousing, surefire finale hits the mark
every time in a testament the power of female ingenuity.
