Starring Doris Day, The Ballad of Josie is a rousing western-comedy about a feisty widow who is determined to make a better life for herself and her young son. Independent and unwilling to fall into another submissive relationship, Josie decides to raise sheep, despite that her little town of Arapaho is in the middle of cattle country. Defying tradition, she purchases herds of sheep, renovates a dilapidated ranch on her property, dons a pair of pants, and challenges the resistance of enraged cattle ranchers. With all her pluck and courage, amidst fights, gunfire and an all-out riot, Josie organizes the ladies of Arapaho to come to her aid, even against their own cattle-owning husbands!
