Frenchie is a 1950 American Western film directed by Louis King and starring Joel McCrea and Shelley Winters.
Frank Dawson is killed in the town of Bottleneck by his double-crossing partner Pete Lambert, leaving a young girl without a father.
She buys the casino the Scarlet Angel but learns that sheriff Tom Banning has cleaned up the town, forcing gamblers to go to nearby Chuckaluck, where the man in charge is Lambert.
Frenchie gets in touch with Lance Cole, a man who helped her in New Orleans, and asks him to come to Bottleneck to run the Scarlet Angel with her.
To get even she marries the rich banker, Clyde Gorman, for his money and then round up the Bottleneck townspeople to rid it of Frenchie and her crew.
When she decides against vengeance, Cole figures she won't kill Gorman because that would make Diane a widow and free to be with Tom.
