English Summary:
Based on the 1963 book by Robert MacLeod, the title character is a beautiful horse (a breed, the Appaloosa) belonging to Matt Fletcher (Marlon Brando), a Mexican-American buffalo hunter who returns home only to have his beloved horse stolen by a powerful bandit, Chuy Medina (John Saxon) with the help of the bandit's girlfriend, Trini (Anjanette Comer) in the border town of Ojo Prieto. Trini was sold to Chuy at the age of 15, but has been brutalized and effectively discarded.
Matt begins to hunt down the bandit to recapture the horse, but finds matters more complicated than expected when he meets the girlfriend of the bandit. Fletcher is subjected to torture and humiliation by Chuy and his minions. A later foray into Medina's camp results in a brutal arm wrestling match in a bar between Fletcher and the bandito. Fletcher loses and is stung on the arm by a scorpion. Again left to die, Fletcher is rescued by Trini, who despises her "lover", Chuy, and prefers Fletcher's company. She gets him assistance from a kindly old peasant, which later costs the old man his life. During the violence-laden climax, Fletcher is forced to choose between Trini and his beloved Appaloosa. Matt, realizing that Trini means more to him than the horse, sends out the Appaloosa to draw Chuy's fire. As the bandit prepares to aim for the horse, sunlight glints on his gun barrel, revealing his position. Matt fires and kills him. Matt and Trini then cross the border with the Appaloosa to start a new life.
Hungarian Summary:
Matt Fletcher a sógorától kapott pompás indián lóval elindul, hogy valahol új életet kezdjen, mint békés lótenyésztő. Amikor azonban a mexikói határhoz közeli Ojo Prietóban gyónni készül, hogy könnyítsen a lelkén, életreszóló találkozásban lesz része. Ekkor pillantja meg Trinit, a meseszép asszonyt és Chuy-t, a hírhedt mexikói banditát, aki megvette az aszszonyt az apjától. Chuy-nak Matt lovára fáj a foga, és amikor rájön, hogy pénzért nem szerezheti meg, úgy dönt, hogy ellopja azt. Matt a nyomába szegődik, hogy visszaszerezze tőle a pompás állatot. A mexikói banditának imponál Matt kitartása és bátorsága, ezért kiáll vele szkanderversenyben, és meg is veri. A vereség azt jelenti, hogy Matt karját megmarják az asztalon lévő gyilkos skorpiók. Ám a férfi Trini gondos ápolásának köszönhetően ezt a kalandot is túléli, sőt a lány segítségével még a lovát is visszaszerzi. Semmi nem akadályozhatja már meg, hogy Matt Trinivel az oldalán végre elkezdje az áhított, új életet.
