Afflicted with a terminal illness, John Bernard Books (John Wayne), the last of the legendary gunfighters, quietly returns to Carson City for medical attention from his old friend Dr. Hostetler (James Stewart). However, it is not Books' fate to die in peace, as he becomes embroiled in one last valiant battle.

Scatman Crothers ran the boarding stable and livery. He tipped off Ron Howard as to the identity of J.D. Booke. ;)

He shot the bartender dead at the end and then threw away the pistol. John Wayne nodded his head in approval and then passed away. ;)
