In this tearjerker, tough Jenny Jones, a muleskinner who dresses like a man, drinks, fights, cusses and shoots, is sentenced to die in Mexico for killing a soldier who was trying to rape her. When another woman offers to trade places in exchange for a promise from Jenny, Jenny believes she's gotten lucky.
