The 1960 satirical western film Heller in Pink Tights, follows the Great Healy Dramatic Company, a struggling 1880s traveling theatrical troupe.
Constantly on the run from creditors, the group led by actor manager Tom Healy and coquettish star Angela Rossini brings flamboyant stage shows to rugged frontier towns while dodging their debts.
Angela loses a high-stakes poker game to a rugged gunfighter named Clint Mabry and is subsequently claimed as his property.
Mabry joins the troupe to protect them from both hostile Native Americans and hitmen contracted by a shady town boss who wants him dead.
