Plot [edit]
In 1932 Texas, Wilma McClatchie (Angie Dickinson) takes over her late lover's bootlegging business, but it isn't lucrative. She meets up with a bank robber, named Fred (Tom Skerritt), who invites her and her two daughters in on his next big heist. After meeting a refined-yet-dishonest gambler (William Shatner), Wilma recruits him along with Fred and her daughters to kidnap the daughter of a millionaire in the hopes of getting rich off the ransom.
DVD release [edit]
On December 7, 2010 Shout! Factory released the title on DVD, packaged as a double feature with Big Bad Mama II as part of the Roger Corman Cult Classics collection.[3]
