Plot Overview

Josh is hired to convince the women of the town of Coronado to come back to their men when they leave, demanding that all the townsmen give up their guns or else the women will leave for good. The women have been convinced to follow the lead of the town sheriff's daughter Liz Strata, who originally made the demand for gun control in the town, not understanding that the men need their guns for their own protection and that of their families and property against outlaws and other troublemakers, and she refuses to listen to Josh when he tries to convince her to end her anti-gun stand. Liz soon comes to her senses and ends the women's walkout when her father and Josh do battle with a pair of outlaws who robbed the local bank and successfully run the outlaws off and recover the stolen money.
