Zavala

Marshal Dillon reitet nach Mexiko, um den Banditen Ben Rawlins und seine Bande zu stellen. Rawlins verschanzt sich in dem Dorf Zavala. Aus Angst will keiner der Bewohner dem Marshal helfen. Nur ein Junge ist mutig genug.

Matt pursues the Rawlins gang into Mexico to the village of Zavala. Here he meets Paco and his widowed mother. Paco's father had been killed when he stood up to outlaws intimidating the people of Zavala. In his whole life, the only strong willed people Paco had ever seen were outlaws. He first thinks of Matt as such a person, until Matt tells him that he's not there to kill the Rawlins' but to arrest them. "But only outlaws ever come to Zavala." Paco is fascinated with the fact that Matt is a US Marshal.
