Plot
Matt Ringo busts out of an Arizona prison. He looks up brother Billy, a former outlaw who's gone straight, to help him pull a robbery and escape to Mexico, but Billy refuses.
Billy's ranch is in financial trouble and he's worried about marrying Arlene, his sweetheart, with that hanging over his head. Matt then frames his brother, causing him to flee with the other bandits and be chased by a posse. Wyatt Earp and his lawman brothers in Tombstone prevent Billy from being lynched, but after a breakout, Billy is confronted by Matt and ends up killing him.
Matt's loyal son Chip vows revenge. Throwing in with Earp's longtime rival Ike Clinton's gang, Chip intends to take part in a robbery. Billy conspires with Earp to infiltrate the gang, save Chip from making a big mistake and make sure Ike is caught red-handed. He is successful and is free to return to Arlene.
