Synopsis

Wyatt Earp, posing as Laramie, a drifter, arrives in Rio Bravo to help French saloon keeper Jennie Lee prevent Zack "The Snake" Williams, who controls most of the Arizona Territory's silver mines, from usurping Clementine Hewitt's silver interests. Williams hires Mexican desperado Pancho Bogan and his bandits to stop a wagon train shipment to the Hewitt mine. Earp arouses Leo, the indifferent sheriff, to action, and they fight off the bandits. Williams, afraid that Pancho will expose him, shoots the Mexican, but in a subsequent street duel Earp kills Williams.
