A doctor who is traveling from Silver Creek to Kansas City is abducted from a stagecoach. His kidnappers want him for his professional skills in Los Mujeres, a town controlled by the 'fair' sex. Chief among them is the boss of the Paradise saloon - 'Iron' Mae McLeod.
Writing in DVD Talk, critic Paul Mavis described the film as "colorful, strange" and "an early feminist Western - until the ending, of course, when paternalism is restored to its rightful place - [that] could have been a minor little gem if more time could have been taken to create the feminine-controlled world," and noted that "it's an entertaining story, with a few good performances."[3] Reviewer Mark Franklin wrote that "The novelty element, and the fact that the directors don’t take the subject matter too seriously, make this worth a watch for the curious. For instance, Iron Mae’s tough-as-nails bouncer is played by Maria Hart, who keeps all the men in line and shows how tough she is by striking matches with her teeth."[4]
