In 1880, a group of strangers boarded a stagecoach. The stagecoach heads east from Tonto, Arizona to Lordsburg, New Mexico. Among these strangers are Doc Boone an alcoholic doctor, Dallas a prostitute, Mrs. Mallory a pregnant woman and Samuel Peacock a whiskey salesman. Marshal Curly Wilcox told the stagecoach driver, Buck, that his regular ride along the guard had gone looking for Ringo Kid. Wilcox decides to replace the regular guard when Buck informs him that the Plummer brothers are in Lordsburg. The Plummer brothers killed Ringo's father and brother and Ringo swore revenge. Before the stagecoaches depart, the group is informed by Lieutenant Blanchard that Geronimo and the Apaches are on the warpath. Lieutenant Blanchard tells the group that he and his men will escort them to Dry Fork. But from that moment on, they will no longer have any military protection. Moments before departure, the coach was hailed and two other passengers boarded: Hatfield, a southerner, and Henry Gatewood, a banker. Along the way, they meet Ringo Kid, stranded because his horse had abandoned him. Curly takes Ringo into custody. The group reaches Dry Fork and is reluctant to continue through lunch. The group votes to continue to Apache Wells. Ringo has taken a liking to Dallas and invites him to eat with them at the table. The group is appalled by this, but Ringo is unaware that Dallas is a prostitute. When the group arrives at Apache Wells, Mrs. Mallory gives birth and Doc Boone helps deliver the baby. Later that night, Ringo asks Dallas to marry him. Dallas promises to marry Ringo if he promises to leave the Plummer brothers alone. Ringo then attempts to escape and meet Dallas again. However, as he runs away, he notices smoke... in the middle of a paper... Avelers chooses to leave Tanto. Although he has been warned by Lieutenant Blanchard that Geronimo and the Apaches are on the path to war. The climax is during and shortly after the big chase/shootout scene and when Calvary arrives and saves the group from the Indians. The resolution is when Ringo kills the Plummer brothers and gets the revenge he desired and marries Dallas. How gender influences the viewer is up to the viewer.
