Duel at Diablo Plot Summary
What happens in Duel at Diablo from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 14 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In the desolate desert, the opening image is stark and brutal: the charred remains of a man killed by Apaches. Frontier scout Jess Remsberg [James Garner] is repelled by the scene, yet his attention sharpens when a woman on an exhausted horse flees two pursuing Apache riders. He fights them off and saves Ellen Grange [Bibi Andersson], bringing her back to safety.
Back at camp, Ellen’s freighter husband Willard Grange [Dennis Weaver] greets her with a complicated mix of relief and resentment. She has already endured an earlier rescue from the Apaches and had chosen, for reasons the film keeps tightly focused on, to return to that perilous world.
