Molly Pray (Sheri Rippel) and her husband are enjoying a tranquil afternoon on their hog farm. Then a bullet hole suddenly appears in Thomas Pray’s forehead, and Molly finds herself splattered in his blood.
A stranger rides up and introduces himself as a bounty hunter. Turns out Thomas Pray was wanted for the murder of the wealthy George Cartwright, who was killed in his Sterling City home.
Which seems quite odd to Molly. Sure, her husband was once a small-time thief. But she knows him as a mostly good man who was nowhere near the Cartwright home the night the murder was supposed to take place.
She goes looking for answers and suspects J.M. Winter, the town undertaker, might be involved somehow. Turns out the corruption is headed by town sheriff Frank Jaroo (Jeff Boyer).
After a near deadly visit from two of Winter’s helpers and a reunion with the bounty hunter, Molly crawls out of her burning home ready to make a deal with the devil.
Especially if it involves delivering the souls of every single person who had a hand in her husband’s death.

Review:
Given the title and the premise, one might hope for a clever and sexy Spaghetti spoof. This is neither.
But, hey, if you like disembowelments, eyes plucked out of heads with forks, faces being blown off with shotguns and streams of blood squirting everywhere — this just might be the Western for you.
There’s also an interrogation by Molly Pray sure to make any male squirm. But that’s the most memorable scene in a film. I was ready for the fairly well-done ending long before the credits rolled.
Spaghetti influences? Molly does spend the second half of the film doling out vengeance in a full black mask, minus even any eye holes, just like Robert Woods in Starblack (1966).
It seemed silly in that Spaghetti. And the same is true here.
