Frenchie Fontaine (Shelley Winters), orphaned at 15, has made a comfortable living running a New Orleans casino. Now, moving west to track down those responsible for her father's death, she buys a casino near a town where Pete Lambert (Paul Kelly), one of her father's killers, resides, and enlists the help of the local sheriff, Tom Banning (Joel McCrea). A series of mishaps unexpectedly lands Tom in prison -- and Frenchie, having fallen in love with him, is left on her own to sort out the mess.
