The story

Catherine "Cat" Ballou, a notorious outlaw, is set to be hanged in the small town of Wolf City, Wyoming. Two banjo- and guitar-playing "Shouters", Professor Sam the Shade and the Sunrise Kid, sing the ballad of Cat Ballou and regale the audience with the tale of how she began her career of crime. Some months prior, Catherine, then an aspiring schoolteacher, is returning home by train to Wolf City from finishing school.
