Ride Clear of Diablo is a 1954 American Technicolor Western film directed by Jesse Hibbs starring Audie Murphy, Dan Duryea, Susan Cabot and Abbe Lane.

Surviving son Clay (Audie Murphy), a railroad surveyor in Denver, is informed of their deaths and goes to Santiago, where the identity of the murderers is unknown.

Tom advises the sheriff that it would be a good idea to send Clay on a false trail to arrest notorious gunslinger Whitey Kincade (Dan Duryea) in the town of Diablo.

To everyone's surprise Clay out-draws Kinkaid, arrests him, thwarts Kincade's escape attempts, and successfully fights off an ambush from three men.

At first, he does this for amusement, but gradually he realizes that the moral attitude of the much younger Clay is a valuable lesson in living a worthwhile life.
