Plot
Will Kane (Gary Cooper), the longtime marshal of Hadleyville, New Mexico Territory, has just married pacifist Quaker Amy (Grace Kelly) and turned in his badge. He intends to become a storekeeper elsewhere. Suddenly, the town learns that Frank Miller (Ian MacDonald) — a criminal Kane brought to justice — is due to arrive on the noon train. Miller had been sentenced to hang, but was pardoned on an unspecified legal technicality. In court, he had vowed to get revenge on Kane and anyone else who got in the way. Miller's three gang members — including his younger brother Ben (Sheb Wooley of The Purple People Eater and Rawhide fame) — wait for him at the station. The worried townspeople encourage Kane to leave, hoping that would defuse the situation.
剧情
凯恩（贾利古柏饰），新墨西哥地区黑得来维尔镇的长任警长，刚刚跟和平主义者桂格燕艾米（格蕾丝凯丽饰）结婚并交出了他的警徽。他计划到其它地方开个杂货店。突然，镇里有消息传来：法朗克米勒（伊恩麦克唐纳饰）- 一个曾被凯恩送入监狱的罪犯 - 将剩火车于正午抵达本镇。米勒曾被判处绞刑，但因在某个法侓上的技术问题而被赦免。 米勒的三个团伙成员 - 包括他的弟弟本（出演过The Purple People Eater and Rawhide fame 的Sheb Wooley）- 正在车站等候他。镇里的人们提心吊胆，鼓励凯恩离开，希望这样能缓和一下局势。
Kane and his wife leave town, but — fearing that the gang will hunt him down and would be a danger to the townspeople — Kane turns back. He reclaims his badge and scours the town for help. His deputy, Harvey Pell (Lloyd Bridges) resigns, because he wants the glory of facing Frank Miller for himself. Helen Ramírez (Katy Jurado), Kane's former lover, supports him, but there is little she can do to help. Disgusted by the cowardice and ingratitude of her neighbors, she sells her business and prepares to leave town. Amy threatens to leave on the noon train, with or without Kane, but he stubbornly refuses to give in. He interrupts Sunday church services looking for deputies. While many townspeople profess to admire Kane, nobody volunteers.
凯恩和他的妻子离开了小镇。但是 - 由于担心那帮坏蛋会追踪过来，并成为镇里居民们的危胁，他又折回镇里。他重新带上警徽并赶紧在镇里寻找助手。他的副手哈维佩尔（劳埃德桥梁饰）辞职，因为他希望独享对付弗兰克米勒的荣耀。海伦拉米雷斯（凯蒂胡拉多饰），凯恩的旧情人，支持他，但她却无能为力。她对懦弱和忘恩负义的邻居们很反感，便卖掉了她的生意，并准备离开小镇。艾米威胁着不管凯恩跟不跟她一起走,都要剩正午的火车离开。但固执的凯恩不肯退让。为寻找助手，他打断了教堂的周日礼拜。虽然许多乡民自称欣赏凯恩，但没有人愿意帮助他。
In the end, Kane faces the Miller Gang alone. Kane guns down two of the gang, though he himself is wounded in the process. Helen Ramirez and Amy both board the train, but Amy gets off when she hears the sound of gunfire. Amy chooses her husband's life over her religious beliefs, shooting Ben from behind. Frank then takes her hostage to force Kane into the open. However, Amy suddenly attacks Frank who is forced to push her aside, giving Kane a clear shot, and Kane shoots Frank Miller dead. As the townspeople emerge, Kane contemptuously throws his marshal's star in the dirt and leaves town with his wife.
最后，凯恩独自应对米勒那帮人。凯恩枪倒了两个帮伙，他本人也在这个过程中受伤了。海伦拉米雷斯和艾米都已登上了火车。但艾米听到枪声后便赶紧下了车。艾米在她丈夫的生命和宗教信仰之间，选择了前者，并从本背后对其开枪。弗兰克然后把她当人质强迫凯恩走到街上。然而，艾米突然袭击弗兰克，后者被迫把她推到一边。这正好给了凯恩出手开枪的机会。凯恩将弗兰克米勒射死??。镇民们纷纷在街上出现，凯恩轻蔑地将他的警长徽章丢掉，并和他的妻子一起离开了这座小镇。
