Desperate Women

Directed by Earl Bellamy

With Susan Saint James, Dan Haggerty, Ronee Blakley, Ann Dusenberry and Susan Myers

A laconic ex-hired gun in the Old West teams up with three scrappy female prisoners abandoned in the desert, two orphaned children, an army deserter, and a group of cantankerous animals, all of whom try to outsmart and outshoot a ratty gang of desperadoes trying to retrieve their boss' girlfriend and the saddle-tramp's secret cargo.
