Snagglepuss adds a room to his house, hoping the rent he receives will finance a vacation trip to the South Seas. Lovely Lila, a Southern belle, becomes his new tenant. In no time, Snagglepuss finds himself moved into the spare room and Lila has the run of the house. When she demands new drapes, new decorating, and not one but two swimming pools, Snagglepuss rebels.

On the outskirts of town, the hard-nosed Vienna owns a saloon frequented by the undesirables of the region, including Dancin’ Kid and his gang. Another patron of Vienna’s establishment is Johnny Guitar, a former gunslinger and her lover. When a heist is pulled in town that results in a man’s death, Emma Small, Vienna’s rival, rallies the townsfolk to take revenge on Vienna’s saloon – even without proof of her wrongdoing.
