Handlung
John T. Chance ist Sheriff in der Stadt Rio Bravo. Als er den Mörder Burdette einsperrt, geraten er und sein Gehilfe Stumpy in große Bedrängnis, da der Bruder des Täters das Gefängnis stürmen lassen will. Der stadtbekannte Säufer Dude, der vor einer unglücklichen Frauengeschichte sein Stellvertreter war, und der junge Revolverheld Colorado schließen sich Chance an. Burdettes Männer nehmen Dude als Geisel, um den Mörder freizupressen. Am Rande der Stadt kommt es zum Showdown. Chance und seine Männer können die Schießerei mit Hilfe von ein paar Stangen Dynamit für sich entscheiden.
