Oklahoma John plot
The new sheriff tries to enforce the law and restore order in a small border town on the Rio Rojo. People are beaten up and men are unceremoniously shot while they are at work. In short, lawlessness reigns and the law of the fittest prevails. When a rancher is murdered and his daughter Georgina is left alone, the sheriff tries to solve the case and find out who is causing all the unrest. Suspect enough. Is it the landowner Edwards, or his always drunk son Jim who has Hondo as a friend? Or does Watson, Georgina's slimy fiancé have a hand in all of this?
