In this light-hearted, fast-paced western adventure, Luke McCall and his four daughters--Hank, Andy, Brett, and Delaney--are a family of mustangers in 1863 California. Accused of murder and horse stealing, they become fugitives from the law. Fleeing their ranch, they must outride and outsmart Eli Stark, the crooked marshal who framed them for the crimes. They lead Stark and his bounty hunters on a wild chase through California and Nevada. Along the way, Delaney, the youngest sister, falls in love with a mysterious stranger who befriends them, never suspecting that he is one of Stark's men.
The McCalls aren't known for double-crossing, lying, or going back on their word, but they're not above getting even. As Stark and his cohorts soon find out, they're a hard bunch to keep a dally on.
