The Countess

In 1907, oil was quickly becoming the most important resource in the United States and, also, on the planet.

A corrupt politician, Hunter Fortay, decides to take advantage of this through imported oil. His greedy and unlawful endeavors bring him face to face with Joe McBride.

To enforce his desire to become the sole source for oil on the West Coast, Hunter hires the nation's first hit woman, Sophia "The Countess" Bach. She is from Germany and an expert markswoman. She has killed before and will do more in the future.

Joe McBride, who also is an expert marksman, is hired by an oil consortium out of St. Louis to hunt her down and eliminate the threat to their lives.

Follow Joe as he falls in love with a girl in San Francisco and chases "The Countess" across the southwest and into Texas.
