Er will Arbeit im Spielsalon seiner Ex-Geliebten Vienna finden, die alles Land gekauft hat, das die Linie passieren wird. Viennas Rivalin, Großrancherin Emma, fühlt sich geschädigt, will Vienna und deren Freund, Desperado Dancin' Kid, den sie liebt, vernichten. Sie hetzt den Sheriff auf Vienna, lässt den Spielsalon niederbrennen und stellt sich Vienna zum Duell. Vienna erschießt Emma. Sie und Johnny hoffen auf die Zukunft.
Erstklassiger, aber untypischer Western, dessen eigentlicher Held eine Frau ist.
On the outskirts of town, the hard-nosed Vienna owns a saloon frequented by the undesirables of the region, including Dancin' Kid and his gang. Another patron of Vienna's establishment is Johnny Guitar, a former gunslinger and her lover. When a heist is pulled in town that results in a man's death, Emma Small, Vienna's rival, rallies the townsfolk to take revenge on Vienna's saloon – even without proof of her wrongdoing.
