[Narrator]

In , while Wyatt Earp

was marshal of Wichita,

many Indian tribes,

like the Comanches,

the Apaches, and the Sioux,

had refused to make peace

with the Unites States

government.

This warfare was to reach

its cl*max a year later,

when the Sioux

and their allies

massacred

General George Custer

and his men

in the Battle

of the Little Bighorn.

But for many months

prior to this tragedy,

renegades were selling

contraband r*fles

to the unpacified tribes.

You Marshal Earp?

Yes, sir.

Captain Bentine,

the th Cavalry.

What can I do

for you, sir?

Here's a message from

two Indian friends of yours.

The Indian carrying it

was wounded.

Our patrol found it.

Ah, it's from Mr. Brother

and Mr. Cousin.

Sit down.

Thank you.

They've been

very good friends.

We feel the same way

about them, Mr. Earp.

We've used them as scouts.

Now they've been nabbed

by the Hoss Daggett g*ng,

if we read

the message right.

The Daggetts operate

in Oklahoma Territory,

don't they?

Isn't the Army

doing something about this?

We've signed peace treaties

with the Cheyennes,

the Pawnees and the Osage.

Washington doesn't

want us to go

into Oklahoma Territory

with troops.

The Indians would resent it.

But it's all right

for me to go in there, huh?

That's why I'm here.

The general wants

to deputize you

as a United States Marshal.

Now, you'll need a good posse.

The Daggetts never have less

than g*ns in their outfit.

Mmm.

This is merely

an official request,

not an order, Mr. Earp.

Of course, if you feel

that you lack the experience...

Captain, when you have

friends that are in trouble,

you try and help them.

I was just wondering

why Daggett grabbed them.

Well, we don't know,

except that it

must be big medicine.

Hoss Daggett isn't holding

the brother of Yellowhand

and the cousin of Many Battles

without a very serious reason.

Hoss is liable

to get himself scalped.

Well, I'm glad

you realize this isn't

any ten-teepee affair,

Mr. Earp.

Your friends may have

extremely valuable information.

Also, we can't have Yellowhand

and Many Battles on a warpath.

But, uh, as I said,

if you feel that a man

with more experience--

No. I'll go.

Uh, you got the paper

deputizing me?

Right here.

The government

will pay for your posse

and all necessary

expenses.

Good.

I'll go tonight.

That soon?

Well, the general

is usually right.

He says that

when two smart Indians

appeal to a white man

for help,

they usually pick

the best one they know.

Good luck, Mr. Earp.

Thank you, Captain.

Just a minute!

Just a minute!

Bring that back!

Come on, Doc.

Get out of the way.

These are heavy.

I know it's heavy.

It's mine, too.

Set her down there, Wyatt.

I want to talk to you.

Oh, now, come on.

We've been through this before.

Yeah, I know.

You're a pretty

fast talker, Wyatt.

I must say, the more

I think about your idea,

the less I like it.

What's going on, Doc?

Moving?

"Moving," he says. No.

But I might as well be moving.

I let this crazy man

talk me out of

$ of good,

fresh medicines.

Ah, sounds like

a story here.

Wyatt, sh**t.

It's nothing

for publication.

It's a government job.

I'm taking this medicine

into the Oklahoma Territory.

He's not only committing

suicide, he admits it.

Come on. Let's hear it.

All right. Mr. Brother

and Mr. Cousin are in trouble.

Who?

They're two Indian

friends of mine,

and they got themselves nabbed

by the Hoss Daggett g*ng.

Well, why all the medicine?

I'm going to go

in there disguised as

a patent medicine doctor.

It's the only way I can

get into the Daggett camp.

Pretty risky to try

and save two Indians.

I not only lose my medicine,

but I also lose my good

and former friend, Wyatt Earp.

Oh, don't give me

that stuff.

You know this hogwash

isn't worth a cent,

and you know it.

All the drug houses

send him free samples.

Only five percent

are free samples.

Besides, who's going

to believe you're a doctor?

You know,

you look terrible.

I feel terrible!

Oh, stop that!

That's the way he hypnotized me

into agreeing to do this thing

in the first place.

Don't move, friend.

This is your lucky day.

Yes, sir.

Come in a little closer.

This is your lucky day,

because I am going to give you,

absolutely free,

one large-sized bottle

of Dr. Livermore's

Kidney Remedy.

Oh, now,

don't thank me, sir.

After all,

I always say what's money

compared to a happy kidney?

[laughs]

Oh, if I can save you, sir--

Uh, what's the rest of it?

If I can save you,

I will not have passed

this way in vain.

Oh, yeah. If I can save you,

I would not have passed

this way in vain.

That's good, Wyatt.

It'd be very funny

if it weren't so tragic.

I've written columns

about the Daggetts, Wyatt.

They're real bad people.

That's right.

You tell him.

If you must go,

take a posse.

No. No posse.

What did those Indians

ever do to justify

your risking your life?

Well, they tracked

Bill and Ben Thompson

in bushwacker country

near Ellsworth for me.

They risked their lives.

I can hire Indians

to track anybody anywhere

for five dollars.

I ain't going

to let you do it, Wyatt.

There's nothing

you can do to stop me.

No, sir. I've been deputized

a United States Marshal,

and I have the authority

to seize any supplies

that I deem necessary

for the performance of my duty.

So you're going to beat me down

with words again, huh?

Oh, now, look,

why don't you just

consider it as a loan?

If I have to sell

any of that stuff

to make it look legitimate.

Why, you'll be getting

all the proceeds.

That is, of course,

providing that, uh, as you say,

that medicine is harmless.

What?

Why, I'll take a dose

out of each and every one

of these bottles.

It's % grain alcohol.

Get me a spoon.

Never mind.

I take your word for it.

Now, what's in the other

ten percent?

It's calamine and quinine.

It won't cure anybody,

but it won't k*ll them, either.

[chuckling]

Come on now. Come on.

Let's get on with that loading.

You want to help,

Mr. Murdock?

Wouldn't dare say no.

Be careful with the way

you handle that one.

Full of laudanum.

Full of what?

Laudanum.

It's a sleeping potion.

Drop that,

and the whole county

will go to sleep.

[chuckling]

Well, that's good to know.

Hey, how do I

distinguish it?

You distinguish it

by the white line

on the outside of the box.

And on the inside,

the bottles are labeled

"Dr. Poster's

Insomnia Remedy."

I can't leave

that one behind.

You ain't leaving

anything behind.

Brother still feel bad?

Yes. Stomach.

Why don't he try

some of that whiskey?

Too sick.

Mr. Daggett, you let me

go for doctor.

Oh, I've already

sent for one.

It's a long trip.

First you get the miseries,

Cousin, and now Brother.

You know, a suspicious man

who wasn't your friend

might think

you were fooling.

No. True.

Time's awful short.

You're holding up

a big deal on them r*fles.

Anything wrong

with the deal, Cousin?

You say go north,

talk to Sitting Bull,

tell Sitting Bull

you have many r*fles.

Good r*fles. Winchesters.

But Sitting Bull

friend with my cousin,

Many Battles.

He is friend

with his brother,

Yellowhand.

But Sitting Bull

not your friend,

Mr. Daggett.

We've been over

all that before.

I never cheated Sitting Bull.

If he bought cheap

trade g*ns that blew up,

he didn't buy them from me.

Sioux people angry.

You cheat them,

I pay, he pay.

I told you

the r*fles are good.

You show me r*fles,

Mr. Daggett.

You calling me a liar?

No. I ask to see r*fles

two, three day now, I ask.

How do I know you'll go through

with your part of the deal?

You might tell the soldiers.

We are too long way

from our people.

You have many fighter.

We don't want to die.

All right.

I'll show you the r*fles.

Hey!

Howdy!

Howdy.

Ain't you Doc Sybil?

No, friend.

Name's Dr. Turner.

But I'd be very happy

to help all of ya.

You carry Madame Porter's

Female Tincture?

Madame Porter's,

uh, Tincture?

Yeah.

No. I got the elixir,

but not the tincture.

Oh.

Your wife in

a dilapidated condition?

[chuckles]

No wife, Doc.

Oh.

Uh, let me see the elixir.

You want to see

the elixir.

Yeah.

Yes, sir, friend.

I got everything here you need.

I got to open

the boxes, though.

Ah.

I got to keep them closed.

They're banging around

on the road a little bit.

Oh, sure.

Let's see, uh...

Ah!

[chuckles]

Here we are. First try.

[chuckles]

Got a lot of boxes there.

I think you'll like it.

This as strong

as the tincture?

Oh, it's much more powerful.

Yes, sir, friend.

That's %

pure grain alcohol.

Well, I'll give her

a taste.

Uh, cost you cents,

friend.

In advance?

I'm not running

a charity here.

No, sir, friend.

Well, it better be good.

Yeah. Thank you.

[coughing]

That's fine!

I knew you'd like it.

I'll try one.

I'd be very happy.

I've got the best.

Oh, I got a lot.

So, anyway,

I've been thinking

of heading

in the Oklahoma Territory.

I understand they got,

well, quite a spell

of the cholera morbus

in the nation.

Yep. Got a spell

of the Daggetts, too.

The Daggetts?

What's that?

Old man Hoss Daggett

and his crowd.

They sound like outlaws.

I'm a great respecter

of you traveling doctors.

That's why I'm warning you.

Stay wide

of the Daggetts.

Uh, well, where do

they hang out?

On in the dry gulch section,

just over the line.

You ought to go

straight to Wewoka

on the Cherokee Trail.

I sure will, friend.

I'm not looking

for any trouble.

I sure do thank you

for warning me.

Well, I guess I better

be getting on.

Hyah!

[Man]

Stop him!

[g*nf*re]

[Wyatt]

Whoa! h*!

Hold up.

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Turner.

I'm selling medicine.

Just a patent

medicine peddler.

Yeah. So he says.

Better take him in

for Hoss to look at.

That's a nice team

of horses he's driving.

Yeah.

You better be

what you claim to be, Doc.

Old man Daggett

don't like to be lied to.

Come on.

Get them going.

[chattering]

I hope you get real sick!

Go on, help yourselves.

This one's mine.

Hey, cut it out.

This one's mine!

Oh, no. We matched

for first pick.

Turn loose of that horse!

I'll be darned if I will!

Hey.

Next time, I'll put one

through your skull.

Now water them horses good

and tie them up.

They're mine.

[men chattering]

What do you

call yourself?

I'm Dr. Turner.

Daggett's the name.

Hoss Daggett.

Ain't you got

no better sense

than to drive

that dry gulch after dark?

I guess not.

That is not

bad stuff, Doc.

[men chattering]

Quit that!

You might be drinking

poison, you fools.

Go on.

Clear out of here.

We're not as bad

as we're made out.

Well, that's real nice

to know.

If you're a real doctor

and you just strayed

in here by mistake.

You can have your team back.

And I'll make the boys pay

for the medicine they took.

Sounds fair enough.

Why, sure.

You got to be

awful careful, Doc.

See, I'm kind of like

your patients.

I hanker

to keep on living.

I can't say

I blame you for that.

Speaking of patients,

I've got a sick friend

on my hands.

He's got miseries

in his stomach.

Maybe I can help him.

Of course, you can't

never tell about Injuns.

Fella might be faking.

Your friend Indian?

I'm sorry.

That lets me out.

How's that?

Don't like Indians.

I won't treat them.

Yeah?

Well, you're going

to like this one,

and you're going

to doctor him.

I do a lot of business

with Injuns, Doc.

Get up.

My friend's in the shack.

He's got a pal with him.

You're paying a call, Doc.

I'll pay it, but I'm

not going to like it.

What's wrong with him?

Cholera morbus,

I think.

Can't be appendix.

Stomach's not rigid.

I better go get

some medicines.

You sure he ain't

just putting on?

Look, like I told you,

I don't like Indians,

but this one's sick.

How sick?

Well, I don't know!

What do you expect,

a complete prognosis

in two minutes?

Take it easy, Doc.

I just want for Brother

to get well.

We've got a deal

pending on it.

I don't care nothing

about your deal.

But if you want this man

back up on his feet,

you're gonna have

to do like I tell you.

Sure, Doc. Sure.

Now, just let me

get my medicines.

Guard sleep.

All sleep

except men on outpost.

Good. Now, uh, Mr. Brother

not really sick, huh?

[native language]

[native language]

[laughter]

[native language]

He says he knew our friend

Mr. Earp would come.

He's happy.

[native language]

He wants to know

when we k*ll Daggett,

get away from here.

Well, you tell him I, uh--

I haven't worked out

a plan yet.

But he should still play sick,

but not so sick.

And that

when Daggett comes,

he should stand up

but not be able to walk.

You understand?

[native language]

Uh-huh.

Daggett--

[native language]

Uh. Uh.

[native language]

He wants to know

where your g*n at.

You tell him I got them

hid in the wagon.

And you also tell him

we can't sh**t our way

out of here.

There are too many men.

We'll have to use some

kind of trick.

[native language]

[repeats what Brother said

in native language]

I'm going to try

and get some shut-eye.

I'll be back

first thing come sunup.

You men try

and get some sleep.

[native language]

[repeats in native language]

[native language]

[repeats in native language]

My good friends.

Hey, Doc,

what you doing?

None of your business.

If you must know,

I'm trying to find

the right drug

for your Indian friend.

Your men sure

messed things up.

No need to get sore, Doc.

How is Brother?

He's improving.

You just let me alone,

I think I could get him

cured in a few days.

All right, Doc.

I'll turn in.

That's how much

I trust you.

You better trust me.

Another six-hours' delay,

and Brother'd been

a dead Indian.

Gosh, Doc. Thanks.

Uh, good night.

[Hoss]

Doc in there?

[Man]

Yeah, he's in there.

Hey, he does

feel better.

I told you he did.

Come on.

Sit up.

See if you can walk.

[native language]

[mutters]

[Hoss]

Awful weak.

But we thank you

for bringing good doctor.

We make deal.

Good. Good.

How soon will Brother

be able to ride a horse?

Couple days.

Not soon enough.

[native language]

[native language]

But we could travel north

in wagon with good doctor.

You could, but you won't.

Say, that's a good idea.

It's no idea at all!

In the first place,

I don't travel with Indians.

In the second place,

I'm heading south, not north.

You're heading

where I say, Doc.

Brother and Cousin

have important business north.

Ah, don't be stupid.

I'm not going to go--

Shut up, Doc.

Might be a lot simpler

if you fellas took

that wagon without him.

No. Mr. Brother too sick.

May need doctor.

We wait.

Oh, no, no, no.

We've wasted

too much time already.

Doc'll go with ya.

I'll send a couple of boys

along to make him behave.

Good. We start.

I'm giving you

a break, Doc.

If Brother and Cousin

get to where they're going,

you can have

your team and wagon.

You act real nice,

you'll still be alive.

Thanks.

All right, let's get

Brother in the wagon.

[native language]

All right, fellas,

get that blanket fixed

and help Brother

in that wagon.

Come on, Brother.

Up you go. Up!

Jack, you'll ride inside.

Ollie, ride your horse

on outside guard.

Cousin, you'll drive.

Doc'll ride up front with you.

Go on.

Get in the wagon.

Don't worry about Doc.

He gives you any trouble,

Jack'll give him

a good p*stol-whipping.

Doctor smart man,

Mr. Daggett.

He knows this only way

he stay alive.

What's the matter

with you?

I just want a drink.

Do you mind?

It's % alcohol.

Just one.

That's enough.

Get them out of here!

Hyah! Hyah!

Daggett thought

he got my only bottle.

Here's to Hoss Daggett.

No, you don't.

Give me that.

Smells like good liquor.

Hey, hold it up there!

Hey, Jack, give me

a drink of that.

[grunts]

You don't want none of this.

It smells better than it tastes.

I'll be the judge

of that. Gimme.

Come on. Come on. Come on!

Give it back!

You don't want to get

drunk on the job!

I'll tell Hoss.

Give me that bottle!

All right, all right.

Come on. Let's get going.

We got a long way to go.

Come on. Come on.

Push it.

That laudanum worked.

He sleep nice.

Slow down.

I want to take care

of Ollie.

Stop. I gotta

catch that horse.

Why you not

sh**t horse?

Never did nothing to me.

Neither did him.

Come on. Let's get him

off the wagon.

Take his g*n.

All right.

Get them going.

[Mr. Cousin]

Hyah!

That's Ollie's horse.

Something's happened, men.

Let's go!

[hoofbeats approaching]

Come on!

Hyah! Hyah!

Why, those dirty

double-crossing

red rattlers!

They must've been in cahoots

with that doc all the time.

Doc and the Injuns!

k*ll them!

Hyah!

We can't outrun them.

Where can we make a fight?

Up gully.

We sh**t from rocks.

Go ahead and turn them.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa!

Whoa!

Get down!

[hoofbeats approaching]

Doc! Doc!

You and them Injuns

come out with your hands up!

All right. They don't think

we're going to fight.

Let them work in close,

and then start sh**ting,

slow and steady.

You not sh**t?

No. This is going

to be your fight.

We thank you.

All right.

Let them have it.

[Hoss]

Come back here,

yellowbellies!

I'll take them myself!

This one's mine.

Wait, no.

Let his men

carry him away.

I think we can go the rest

of the way at a slow trot.

Come on.

Howdy, Captain.

Brother, Cousin,

are you all right?

We got a report of g*nf*re

across the line.

Was that you?

Yeah, we had a little run-in

with the Daggett g*ng.

They're camped in a dry gulch

down there a ways.

They have many r*fles

they plan to sell.

Sell where?

Up north.

Sitting Bull.

Thank you.

That's all we need to know.

A good job, Marshal Earp.
