Shotgun is a 1955 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander and starring Sterling Hayden, Yvonne De Carlo and Zachary Scott.

While Hardin and Abby are resting in high ground that evening, a band of Apaches speed by in pursuit of a rider.

Carleton is intrigued by Clay's shotgun which, he tells Abby, since it has an effective range of only about 30 yards, is a poor weapon for the kind of shooting Hardin usually does.

Clay hears the shots of their attack and races back, only to discover that Carleton is dying and Abby has been captured.

Delgadito decides that Hardin and Thompson should have a shotgun duel on horseback to settle their differences, with each fighter allowed a single cartridge.

Abby and Hardin embrace and she tells him that, instead of heading for California, she would rather join him on the ranch, where he had previously told her that he intends to live.
