Storyline

Robin complains to Mr. I. Magination that he only presents adventure stories for boys. She claims that anything a boy can do, she can do better, so the host imagines a story where Robin portrays pretty young sharpshooter Annie Oakley who must win enough money with her shootin' iron to stave off the bank's foreclosure of the Oakley family farm. When she bests Frank Butler in a shooting contest, Buffalo Bill hires her for his Wild West show where her rivalry with the jealous Butler only intensifies.
