Synopsis
John Ames's wagon train is robbed by Lee Tate and his gang, and everyone is murdered except for John's young sons, Dick and Bob. Dick is left for dead, while Tate adopts Bob and raises him as his own son. Dick is rescued by Mexican prospector Rafael Lopez, who gives him a home. Years later, Dick is known as "Arizona," and he and Lopez encounter Tate's gang in a small town they have overrun. Tate has been attempting to intimidate Jim Morgan and his daughter Amy, whose gold mine he intends to steal. Dick recognizes Tate, and while trying to find evidence of Tate's crimes, is attacked by Bob. While they are fighting, Dick recognizes Bob as his brother by a scar, and Bob changes sides to join Dick in his fight for justice. In time, they clear the town of Tate's lawless element, and Bob marries Amy. His mission accomplished, Dick continues on his trail with Lopez.
