Plot

The story is set in the pioneer days of Tucson, Arizona in 1860. Life there is fit only for tough men and one very tough woman, Phoebe Titus (Jean Arthur). She catches the eye of Peter Muncie (William Holden), a handsome young man with a wagon train through Arizona but he soon leaves for California. Phoebe stays in Tucson and pursues her plan of founding a freight line to service the town's booming economy. She meets up with a Confederate dandy named Jefferson Carteret (Warren William) who pretends to help her, but secretly is in cahoots with the town's established shipper. The treacherous pair try everything from slandering her to bribing the Apaches to attack her wagons. Defeat seems inevitable, but Peter returns just in time to help Phoebe.

et

"Arizona" was filmed on a set located just outside the city of Tucson in the Sonoran Desert. After filming, lay dormant for a few years during World War II, but was revived and made into a full studio after the war. The studio continues today as Old Tucson Studios.
