Synopsis

Larry McMurtry, of LONESOME DOVE fame, delivers a rollicking and zesty Western filled with historical figures and larger-than-life romance and adventure. After their father's suicide, Nellie and Jackson Courtright make their way to the desolate town of Rita Blanca in the future Okalahoma panhandle. Jackson becomes sheriff and Nellie takes a position as town telegrapher. After Jackson guns down some bandits, the ever-resourceful Nellie prints up a best-selling pamphlet about the events. Soon enough, she's falling in love with Buffalo Bill, receiving a marriage proposal from an Earp brother, witnessing the shoot-out at the O.K. Corral--and generally romping through the iconic moments of Old West mythology.
