The Arizona Ranger is a 1948 American Western film directed by John Rawlins and starring Tim Holt and his father Jack.

[6] Bob Morgan is mustered out of Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders to join the Arizona Rangers.

Bob arrests Nimino Welch, a fugitive from justice, and member of Quirt Butler's gang.

Nimino is freed, but while riding off, Quirt is wounded by gunfire when Ben Riddle and Rawhide intervene.

Rawhide and his farm hands arrive at Quirt's house and take him away to be lynched, assuming he was the one who killed Ben.

Laura returns home to find henchmen Nimino and Jaspar Todd waiting for Quirt.

Bob returns to find his colleague dead, and accuses Laura of being part of the plot to free Quirt.

Rawhide apologizes to the newly widowed Laura and asks to escort her as she leaves town on the stagecoach.
