California is a 1947 American Western film directed by John Farrow and featuring Ray Milland, Barbara Stanwyck, and Barry Fitzgerald.

When a woman named Lily Bishop is accused of cheating at poker in a saloon, farmer Michael Fabian invites her to join the wagon train over Trumbo's strenuous objections.

The town is controlled by Pharaoh Coffin, a former slave trader who opposes law and order and California statehood.

Coffin's men assault Trumbo, who is rescued on the trail by Mexicans and vows revenge.

Trumbo forms a posse and corners Coffin, who is descending into madness, and Lily shoots him.
