Plot: 1882, New Mexico Territory. Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch are itinerant lawmen, hired by desperate towns as marshal and deputy. The city fathers of Appaloosa hire them after Randall Bragg, a newly-arrived rancher with money and a gang of thugs, disrupts commerce and kills three local lawmen. Cole and Hitch contrive to arrest Bragg and bring him to trial, but hanging him proves difficult. Meanwhile, a widow has arrived in town, Allison French, pretty, refined, and good-natured. Virgil falls hard, and it seems mutual, but there may be more to Allie than meets the eye. Can friendship and skill with a gun overcome a pernicious villain and green-eyed jealousy?

You think we do this kind of work because we're scared to die? You.::Vince: Me?::Virgil Cole: You afraid to die?::Vince: I ain't afraid.::Virgil Cole: Good, because you go first. And that boy with the red scarf goes next. You go on home, Vince. You go on home. Go on. Too many people die if you don't.

Randall Bragg: I told you you'd never hang me, Cole.::Virgil Cole: Never ain't here yet.

Allison French: I'm sorry, Virgil.::Virgil Cole: [Everett stands to leave] Stay here, Everett.::Allison French: I'm sorry. I was so alone, and Bragg... Well, Ring protected me and so did his brother.::Virgil Cole: You fuck Mackie, too?::Allison French: No. It was Ring. He was in charge. I just did what I had to do.::Virgil Cole: Everett... Ring kills me, do you think she'll go off with him?::Everett Hitch: [after a long, thoughtful pause] I think Allie needs to be with a man.::Allison French: You're a bastard! Don't listen to him. He tried to put his hands on me when I showed him our house.::Everett Hitch: No, Virgil. I did not.::Virgil Cole: No, Allie. Everett didn't do that.::Allison French: You believe him over me?::Virgil Cole: That's correct.

Phil Olson: Well, what he did sir, was crazy!::Everett Hitch: You calling Virgil crazy?::Phil Olson: -Yes. No.::Everett Hitch: Well, if... You think a man makes a living as a gun hand isn't crazy?::Phil Olson: -You're not crazy.::Everett Hitch: - Maybe. Maybe not. Whatever I am, I'm not Virgil Cole.::Phil Olson: It doesn't give him the right to go busting up innocent people.::Everett Hitch: No, it doesn't, and mostly innocent people don't get busted up, and if they do, it's because of who Virgil Cole is and what he is, and you hired him to be Virgil Cole.::Phil Olson: I'm not sure I understand.::Everett Hitch: No, I'm not sure you do either. - Good day. [turns and walks off]::Phil Olson: - yes. [smiles and nods, then pauses and looks after Everett looking puzzled] .

Phil Olson: We can't have our law officers beatin' people half to death for no reason.

Randall Bragg: It's hard to like a man who won't take a drink.::Virgil Cole: But not impossible.

Virgil Cole: She speaks well, she dresses fine, she's good-looking, she can play the piano, she cooks good, she's very clean, chews her food nice; but it appears she'll fuck anything ain't gelded.
