Summary

  • Driving their cattle east to Kansas, Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan Earp leave their youngest brother, James, in charge of the herd, while they go into Tombstone, a wild, frontier town. When they return, they find James dead and the cattle gone. The brothers believe the Clantons are responsible, but instead of riding into town for a fight, Wyatt agrees to become the town marshal, to seek justice legally. In the end, however, the Earps and the dying gambler, Doc Holliday are forced into a violent gunfight at the OK Corral.
