Maureen O’Hara stars as the beautiful yet feisty owner of the Crooked Tongue Saloon in the western Comanche Territory . Katie Howard (O’Hara) and her brother Stacey (Charles Drake) run the town, and she is as skilled with a bullwhip as with a song and dance. However, she does have a soft side and it will surface for the handsome Jim Bowie (Macdonald Carey), famed frontiersman and inventor of the Bowie knife. Bowie comes to town with a treaty for the Comanches from President Jackson that guarantees them land ownership in exchange for silver-mining rights. When the treaty is stolen from its bearer (Will Geer), it jeopardizes an uneasy truce making the Indians vulnerable to silver-hungry outlaws. What follows shakes Katie up even more than Bowie does - and thrusts her onto an explosive battlefield between enemy lines!
