The wife of marshal Matt Morgan is raped and murdered. The killers leave behind a distinctive saddle, that Morgan recognizes as belonging to his old friend Craig Belden, now cattle baron in the town of Gun Hill. Belden is sympathetic, until it transpires that one of the murderers is his own son Rick, whom he refuses to hand over. Morgan is determined to capture Rick and take him away by the 9:00 train; but he is trapped in the town alone, with Belden and all his men now looking to kill him.

Wanting to get married to bumbling steamship company file clerk Humphrey Briggs (Eddie Albert) and needing the money to buy a house, the scatterbrained Sally Elliot (Lucille Ball) takes a job selling cosmetics door-to-door. But when Humphrey's employer and his wife are both murdered by smugglers using their business as a front, the blame for the crime falls squarely on Sally. And after she and Humphrey are forced to flee, they must avoid the police as they try and track down the real killers on their own.
