(There are Spoilers) Almost getting hanged at the start of the movie for being mistaken for his kill crazy brother Notah White/Comanche half-breed Johnny Moon, William Shatner playing a duel role,has just about had it and decides to ride into Comanche territory,Johnny wants to challenge Notah to a duel and finally get it over with by either killing Notah so he won't commit any more crimes that he's, Johnny, been unjustifiably accused off. And that doesn't work or get killed by Notah himself so he won't by around and alive to have that problem any more.
Meanwhile Notah is up to his old tricks again by attacking a stagecoach with his band of Comanche braves killing everyone on it. Raping the only survivor Kelly, Rossanna Yanni, as Natah goes back home to get stoned out on peyote to enhance is visions. He plans to resurrect the great Comanche nation and thus drive the hated white man out of it's ancestral lands.
Johnny showing up at Notah's place challenges him to a duel to the death. The two brothers decide that it should take place in neutral territory, the quiet little town of Rio Hondo, four days hence. On his way to Rio Hondo Johnny gets involved with a local dispute there between the General,Mariano Vilda, and the towns salon owner Grimes, Louis Prendes. Johnny coming to the rescue gunned down two of the General's men who were about to hang one of Grimes work-hands Ellis,Vincent Roca. Ellis was fooling around with territorial markers on the General's and Grimes property.
Getting into Rio Hondo for some rest before his big showdown with Notah Johnny is first recognized by one of the General's men his younger brother Coor, Javier Maiza, as the man who gunned down his men. Kelly mistakes him for his brother Notah,which is a very common happening in the film, as the man who held up the stagecoach tries to apprehend him. Johnny has a knock down an drag out brawl with Coors whom he puts to sleep with a number of kicks and straight rights. Luckily he just misses being shot and killed by an outraged Kelly.
Convincing Kelly and the town sheriff Logan, Joseph Cotton, that he's not his murderous half-breed brother Notah, the only difference between Johnny and Notah is the color their eyes, Kelly falls in love with her now mistaken rapist ,the proper and gentlemanly Johnny Moon. This get's the banged up and jealous Coor a bit mad at him since he's secretly in love with her. We later in the movie again have a fight, this time with guns, between Johnny and Coor with Coor again getting the worst of it with a bullet between his eyes.
The movie then degenerates into a free-for-all shoot em up between the Grimes gang and the General's staff. We get to see the entire town of Rio Hondo is depopulated of it's citizens in the process. Notah on his way to town to have it out with Johnny has his pregnant squaw White Fawn, Perla Crista, go to bat for him but ends up getting batted herself, by someone else. Later a member of the tribe Koh To, Louis Rivera, goes after Notah to stop and kill him. Koh To came to the conclusion that he's completely out of his head and will only bring death and destruction on the Comanche nation with his insane actions.
White Fawn ambushes Koh To by sticking a knife in his back and then tries to finish him off by having her horse stomp him to death. It then that Koh comes back to life and unseats the shrieking and hysterical White Fawn stabbing and killing her as he himself slowly bleed to death from the stab wound. This whole scene is accommodated with some of the wildest and ear-splitting cries and yells that, if the sound on the TV isn't turned down. The screams can easily damage and burst your eardrums.
Facing off in an almost deserted Rio Hondo Johnny and Notah have it out with johnny coming out the winner. Then as the movie ends Johnny plans to marry, a crazy about him and his light brown eyes, Kelly as he leads his people the Comanches back to their reservation to life of peace and harmony with the White Man.
More then worthy to be featured on the Mystery Science 3000 bad movie program "White Comanche" is undoubtedly one of the best bad movies you'll ever see. Johnny Moon is hilarious by being targeted by everyone for crimes that he didn't commit. Even a little wimpy nerd turned bounty hunter like Carter, Victor Israel, trying to kill him who in return ends up almost shooting himself, before sheriff Logan gunned him down.
