In Fort Griffin, Texas, Ed Bailey (Lee Van Cleef) comes looking to avenge the death of his brother at the hands of gunslinger John H. "Doc" Holliday (Kirk Douglas). Seeing him in a bar, Holliday's girl, Kate Fisher (Jo Van Fleet), returns to Holliday's room, where the two argue—while Holliday throws knives at the wall—once she brings up Holliday's once-prominent family. At the same time, well-known marshal Wyatt Earp (Burt Lancaster) arrives in Fort Griffin thinking he will take outlaws Ike Clanton (Lyle Bettger) and Johnny Ringo (John Ireland) into custody, but instead finds out that the local sheriff, Cotton Wilson (Frank Faylen), released them despite the outstanding warrants for their arrest. Holliday refuses to help the lawman, holding a grudge against Wyatt's brother, Morgan. Holliday kills Bailey with a knife-throw when Bailey attempts to shoot him in the back. Holliday is arrested for murder, though Wyatt and Kate allow him to escape from a lynch mob.

Rio Galdez vit dans un village perdu au fin fond de l'Amazonie. Il y exerce le cabotage et son vieux rafiot lui sert à la fois pour un peu de contrebande et la traversée des passagers qui le louent. Le village accueille d'autres déclassés, notamment Jerry Russell, autrefois ingénieur, mais qui a sombré dans l'alcoolisme et n'a plus qu'une obsession: retrouver un trésor fabuleux qui, d'après d'anciens parchemins, se trouverait dans la Vallée des Vents, sur le territoire des indiens Jivaros. Il décide deux compagnons à tenter l'aventure. Justement le jour de leur départ, une jeune femme, Alice Parker, prend passage à bord de l'embarcation de Galdez, pour rejoindre Russell. En effet, elle n'est autre que sa fiancée à laquelle il avait fait miroiter une existence de rêve.
