...guys (Jack Warden and Bo Hopkins) naturally have a fierce letch for her. The third desperado, a stronger and more reserved type named Jay Grobart (Burt Reynolds), intercedes on behalf of her honor.

The affair is finally consummated when Jay sweeps the adoring Catherine up in his arms and mutters, "You are the god-damnedest woman I ever met," as he bears her off to bed in the hotel of a deserted mining town...
