A tough marshal is sent to clean up a lawless western town.
Long summary:
United States Marshall, Dave Harmon is sent to bring order to the lawless territory of Yuma. Upon arriving, he encounters two drunk men but is forced to shoot one of them when a gun is drawn. Marshall Harmon later learns that the man he killed is the brother of Arch King, a powerful man who adheres to only one law, his own. Later, someone breaks into the jail and shoots the other man with Harmon's gun. It seems that the other man is also King's brother. Only a young boy witnesses the murder in jail, claiming that the shooter was a soldier. Harmon is visited by King and told that unless he can prove that he didn't kill his brother, King will be back for his own justice. Harmon then rides out to the nearby army fort to find the soldier who killed his prisoner. The visit doesn't go well as we learn that Harmon has a complicated history with the army.
