Texas Guinan is having her cattle rustled, so she head into town to hire a night rider. While her one employee is checking out Pat Hartigan, she overhears someone say she needs a husband to manage the ranch. So she pulls out a gun, orders the new preacher over, and marries him at gunpoint, which he doesn't object to. When Hartigan comes over, she opines she's married the wrong man, but facts are facts.
Texas Guinan is best remembered as running a speakeasy in Manhattan during Prohibition, greeting customers with a loud "Hello, suckers!" but she had knocked around as a Sunday school teacher, in circuses, and from 1917 through 1921 starred in forty-five movies as a gun-toting gal who took care of things her way in her leopard-skin chaps. She died in 1933 at the age of 49.
