Beautiful and willful Kit Banion (Barbara Stanwyck ) is the Maverick Queen. She is a saloon owner and also one of the leaders of an outlaw gang called the Wild Bunch.

Eventually a series of events exposes Jeff and he is made prisoner at the gang's hideout. When Kit learns of Jeff's true identity she risks everything and rides to the hideout to save him.
