(the Old West, 1870.) Joe Baker, leader of a motley gang, wants to do "something big" -- a big heist, perhaps rob a Mexican treasure city; to do that, he'll need a Gatling Gun. Outlaw Jonny Cobb, notorious rogue and scoundrel, can get his hands on a Gatling Gun-- but what this lonely outlaw (hiding out in New Mexico territory, because he's wanted in every state) really wants is a woman. And so, an unholy deal is made: Jonny Cobb tells Joe Baker, "Well, I'll trade ya that thar Gatlin' Gun for a woman." Joe Baker desperately tries to find a woman in the desert (which seems devoid of womenfolk)-- but when Baker and his gang foolishly kidnap Colonel Morgan's wife for Jonny Cobb, the whole U.S. Cavalry comes gunning for them.
