Buffalo Bill's (Moroni Olsen) Wild West Show stars Annie Oakley (Barbara Stanwyck), an ace rifle shot, as one of its main draws. This is her story as she competes with "The World's Greatest Marksman" Toby Foster (Preston Foster) who, in real life, she marries–but not in this film. For the romantic story, watch "Annie Get Your Gun" (1950) starring Betty Hutton and Howard Keel.
