Toughest Man in Arizona (1952): Cast & Plot

Marshal Matt Landry is after Frank Girard for selling guns to the Indians, and he closes in on his quarry when a small wagon trail bound for Tombstone meets the scrutiny of the US Army. The army, wary of a possible Indian attack, leaves behind two guards and a Gatling gun while they press on to scout the war party. The atmosphere tightens as a tense exchange of warnings and precautions unfolds, and the group along the trail includes Mary Kimber and her husband, Verne Kimber, who argue about their future in Tombstone. The commander senses danger—the crickets suddenly go silent—and orders the group to extinguish a campfire and take shelter in a gulley, signaling that trouble is imminent.
