Brilliant, headstrong, and still unmarried, the lovely Roxana Van Buren brings disgrace upon her illustrious family in 1916 when she pursues a journalism career. Roxana aims for the impossible -- an interview with Pancho Villa, the infamous Mexican revolutionary. She strikes out for the Southwest, unafraid.

In need of an escort, she hires a brash cowboy and sometime soldier, Sam Brady. Roxana knows she can handle the revolutionaries, but she soon has her doubts about her ability to handle Sam. He loves his whiskey, his freedom and his women with equal abandon, and he isn't quite willing to change his ways. Together, the indomitable Roxana Van Buren and the unconquerable Sam Brady take on an army of Mexican rebels before they take on each other.
