A young bounty hunter named Arizona returns to his hometown to find it controlled by a wealthy and ruthless landowner named Styles. He finds his father has committed suicide after Styles takes the family ranch. Arizona decides to work with the weak framers and ranchers and oppose Styles and his henchmen. A twist develops when Arizona must confront an old friend who has been hired by Styles. Arizona triumphs in the end and the community returns to the peaceful town he remembers as a child.

  1. I think the credit to Luis Ciges is spurious. What role does he play in it?
    One who is not mentioned is José Palomo, the old man at the abandoned house at the beginning.
