Silver Creek is a boom town in Lincoln county run by the corrupt Jason Clarey. Sheriff Pat Garrett rides out to restore order and finds that the respectable woman of the town are organizing to drive the wicked influences out. These ""wicked"" include one of Pat's old girlfriends,Sal, and her saloon business. Billy, who is in Silver Creek on business for Tundall,throws in with the self-righteous townswomen in hopes of defeating Claarey before Pat had to face Claarey and his bunch alone. It is a strange but humerous alliance.

Showman Jacque Montreaux and his four lovely song-and-dance girls arrive in town, and Jaques stops off to show Garrett a letter from the mother of one of the girls, asking that plans to kill Billy the Kid be called off.
