The movie is based on an alleged romance between CalamITY Jane and Wild Bill Hickok in the American Old West in the early 1900s. The story is about a group of women in Deadwood, Dakota Territory who try to attract the attention of Lt.
Danny Gilmartin, who is in love with another woman, Adelaid Adams. The men in charge of the saloon, the Golden Garter, are fawning over Adams, who they believe to be a woman. Calamite decides to bring Adams to Deadwood so the men can see for themselves that she is not a woman they are so enamored of. The two women fall in love, but Lt. Gilmartin prefers the other woman, Katie Brown, and the two are forced to break off their relationship. The pair become friends, and Katie becomes a singer, but she is forced to leave Deadwood after being shot in the hand by a gun-toting Wild Bill. In the end, the film is a box office success, earning over $1.2 million.
