Western adventure about a fictional love triangle between legendary figures Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill. It's all very enthusiastic and eager to please, but rather daft. Still, it's a good way to spend an afternoon. Don Murray, Guy Stockwell and Abby Dalton star as the trio, with Leslie Nielsen as General Custer
