The series picks up with the introduction of Vicki Chase, a fiery Latina who personifies the title of the show. She's prospecting for gold with her husband Shawn Alff (who also wrote the series' screenplay), but surprisingly turns on him when a stranger on horseback, played by Scott Nails, turns up to join them for breakfast by their wagon.
Nails and Chase are actually partners, and she only married Shawn as part of their partnership to fleece local prospectors in the current Gold Rush out of their gold.
This segment has fun plot twists and a dependably hot outdoor sex scene performed by screen veterans Chase and Nails. There's some gunplay, but still not much action besides a few seconds of Scott actually riding a horse.
