Plot
In southern Arizona Territory, hired gun-turned-marshal Chris Adams rescues his old friend, former bounty hunter Jim MacKay, from an ambush. Jim asks Chris to help him defend the Mexican border town of Magdalena from De Toro and his bandits, but Chris is reluctant.
Chris refuses his new wife Arrila's request to release teenager Shelly Donavan, jailed for robbery. Chris meets with newspaper writer Noah Forbes for a story on Chris' eventful career.
The next morning, loading prisoners onto the Tucson prison wagon, Chris decides to free Donavan. Chris meets Noah to discuss his exploits, as Donavan celebrates his release with Hank and Bob Allen. Donavan leads the brothers in a bank robbery just as Arrila meets Chris and Noah outside. Wounding Chris, Donavan abducts Arrila and escapes with the Allens. Revived two days later, Chris sets off in search of Arrila, accompanied by Noah.
In the desert, Noah and Chris find Arrila dead. Chris tracks down the Allens and demands to know Donavan's whereabouts. Confident that Chris will take them back to town for trial and not shoot them on the spot, Hank refuses to talk. Chris shoots him. Bob then decides to talk and reveals that Donavan has fled to Mexico, and admits Arrila was raped and tortured before her murder. Bob pleads for his life, insisting he did not join in the assault, but Chris shoots him (for not preventing it, either) as Noah looks on in shock.
