It's 1850 and San
Francisco is in the throes of Gold Fever. Billy, a naive
prospector, is trying to make his fortune. In a city of
30,000 men all
clobbering each other to get ahead how does a young man on his own
survive? By becoming a woman of course!
When Billy is transformed
into the "most eligible girl in town" he finds himself fighting off the
insatiable lusts of some of the most prominent citizens of San
Francisco! How do you entertain Sam
Brannan when Adolph Sutro is
hiding in your closet? How long can you fight off
marriage proposals
by the drunken Jasper O’Farrell…who is, uh,
already married?
And what
about that dangerous gunslinger, Wiley West, who seems to be on to the
truth?
