The story

"Johnny Guitar" Logan arrives in a remote Arizona cattle town and heads to a saloon to see its owner, Vienna, a strong-willed woman and his former lover. Shortly after his arrival, the town locals, who Vienna has a tense relationship with because of her support of a nearby railroad being built, confront her for her working relationship with the "Dancin' Kid" and his gang, who they have accused of robbing the town stagecoach and killing local Emma Small's brother. The Dancin' Kid is Vienna's former lover, while Emma desires the Dancin' Kid's affections and loathes Vienna because of this.
