Slash and Pecos match wits with the wiliest opponent they ve ever had a wickedly smart woman who can t be caught in their wildest western adventure yet. . . .
It sounds like an easy job: track down the lady friend of notorious outlaw Duke Winter and bring her in for questioning. There s just one problem: Slash and Pecos have never met a woman like Miss Fannie Diamond, a glamorous showgirl who s prettier than a French poodle, slicker than a Dodge City gambler, and more slippery than a Mojave rattlesnake. She knows that Slash and Pecos are coming for her and has no intention of being caught not without one of hell of a fight. . . .
By the time the duo arrive at the Rocky Mountain mining camp where Miss Diamond is performing, the devilishly clever gal has already arranged a welcome wagon for them: some hired thugs who knock Slash and Pecos silly. Still, the show must go on so the pair decide to snatch Miss Diamond off the stage in the middle of a performance. It doesn t take long for Slash and Pecos to learn that there s no business like show business and no showgirl like Miss Fannie Diamond. Sometimes, the female of the species is deadlier than the male. . . .
