After becoming pregnant outside marriage, Josephine (Suzy Amis) is thrown out by her embarrassed upper-class family. With no money, she gives up the baby and travels west, where she constantly fears for her safety against predatory men. Josephine begins to masquerade as a man named Jo, and eventually settles down in a small town where she is employed as a sheepherder for Frank Badger (Bo Hopkins). Jo hides the truth until worker Tinman Wong (David Chung) is forced to move in with her.

Critic Reviews:

• " The Ballad of Little Jo is a taut, unconventional adventure that takes aim at the glorious macho westerns of the past. " – Jackie Potts

• " The Ballad of Little Jo is an exemplary and often starkly beautiful tale – a mix of adventure and romance which succeeds in reinstating female experience into a genre which has by definition sidelined it. " – Claire Monk

• " This beautifully shot movie with the intriguing premise never really does get around to developing a full-fledged plot. " – Henry Sheehan
