A hand clapping, rip roaring show from start to finish. Calamity Jane is an action packed, rip-roaring adventure, featuring many classic songs. Deadwood, Dakota territory, is a typical Wild West town where men are cowboys and women are clean living, wholesome gals. That is apart from Indian Scout Calamity Jane, who is as hard riding, gun tooting and boastful as any man on the prairie.
