Railroad Detective Matt Clark (Jim Davis) and his sidekick Frankie Adams (Mary Castle) are hot on the trail of yet another bad girl gun- slinger in this exciting episode of Stories of the Century.  This time the bad girl gunslinger is younger than most.  Gloria Winters took time off from her role as Penny on Sky King to portray the notorious young female outlaw known as Little Britches.  When she tires of her name, she robs a bank and shoots the teller so she can have the money for a dress.  She escapes only briefly as Matt chases her down and pulls her from her still galloping horse.  Just like Belle Starr, she loses her gun in the the process of being dumped on the ground and is led off to jail by our hero.  Later that night, the sheriff is shot as Britches breaks jail with the help of a much older man who soon becomes her new love.  The two outlaws buy a freight line as a front for a smuggling business, but are foiled again by our hero and his lady sidekick - a fate they seem to have in common with every famous outlaw in the old west.  Highly Recommended *****                                                                                                          KJW
