Thank you, Honey.
Unhappily, gentlemen,
the good Doctor wins again.
Get your bets down, gentlemen.
Hold it, Doc.
What's the matter? You broke?
I want to look at that deal box.
You do, huh?
Well, you'll have to back up a request like that
with a pair of . s.
I'm about to do that.
Stay out of this, Morgan.
Two against three are better odds, Doc.

"The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp," starring Hugh O'Brian.
Wyatt Earp, needing help, had signed on his younger brother,
Morgan Earp, as his deputy.
But a month later it was a standoff
whether Morgan was a help or a hindrance.
My smart little brother.
Hanging around saloons with dance hall girls.
Hanging around gamblers, gunfighters.
One man dead, two hard hit.
All three of them were coming for Doc.
I think we have a case for self-defense, Marshal.
Never mind that,
I'm making a case for that badge.
You're Morgan Earp and you're a deputy.
Now what Doc Holliday does, people expect,
but they don't expect it from us.
I was on my own time. I was off-duty.
Is the Percent Ring ever off-duty?
Look, we got a w*r on our hands
and the Citizens' Safety Committee
is watching how we handle things
every second, day and night.
All right then. Arrest me.
- Take my star away.
- That isn't gonna solve anything.
Then quit preaching.
I'll quit when you quit hanging around saloons.
Excuse me for living.
Is that the end of the sermon?
No.
Your horse has been hitched out there all day.
If you're through with it, put it away.
Now that's your fault.
I told you and Shotgun Gibbs
we're gonna have to watch after Morg.
Deacon, you're addicted to milk.
Your little brother likes an occasional drink of whiskey.
A habit he picked up from you.
Morgan also is fond of the ladies.
But he didn't pick that up from me.
Well, I guess I have to send him back to Prescott.
Deacon, hasn't it occurred to you
that all men do not care for milk?
Aren't you willing to recognize the fact
that most of us are susceptible to women?
That's not the point and you know it.
You're setting too high a standard for Morgan.
The boy is human.
I might have known I wouldn't get any help from you.
Just because I want to keep my brother out of saloon brawls,
I'm accused of being a fanatic.
That's right.
The next thing you'll want the poor boy to get married.
And what's wrong with marriage?
After all my tormented years with Mrs. Holliday,
the very thought of it is ghastly.
Yeah, well, you happen to be a special case.
If he married a nice girl,
it'd be the best thing in the world for him.
Look, Doc,
he's my kid brother and I have to look out for him.
Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, that new girl
that works for Mrs. Abbot
down at the emporium.
Who?
Lucy Tedder.
What's wrong with her?
What's wrong with marriage?
She's a perfect lady, she sings in the choir,
and she's pretty too.
Now you're going to play cupid, is that it?
Why not? At least I can
point him in her direction,
away from those daisies down at the dance hall.
Sometimes I wonder how you hold on to that badge.
Haven't you got sense enough to know
that's the worst way to get him married?
Well, lothario, how would you do it?
Well...
If I wanted to betray the innocent lad...
which I don't, mind you...
I'd tell him to stay away from her.
Stay away from her?
That's right.
What kind of fruit is the sweetest?
Well now, I don't know.
What kind of fruit is the sweetest?
Forbidden.
Yeah, I see.
Yes, sir. I see.
Horse is put away.
Anything else to rawhide me about?
Yeah. From now on, you stay away from women.
All women.
And especially Lucy Tedder.
Lucy Tedder? Who's Lucy Tedder?
Oh, you know who she is. She's the new girl down at the emporium.
I didn't even know they had a new girl at the emporium.
Oh, don't hand me that. I heard that you'd been carrying on with her.
What's the matter with him?
Massive eruption of moral fervor.
Well, I've had just about enough moral fervor for one day.
Now where do you think you're going?
Over to the emporium.
I want to get a look at this girl
I'm supposed to be carrying on with.
Thank you, friend.
Wyatt,
if that poor boy ever winds up
in front of a preacher,
I'll never forgive myself.
Well, I'm sorry we don't have the pattern you want,
but maybe it will come in in the next shipment.
Oh, can I help you?
Yes, ma'am.
I'd like to buy this.
Oh, well, it's two dollars.
Shall I wrap it?
No, I'll take it plain.
You're Miss Lucy Tedder, aren't you?
Well, yes, why?
I heard you were.
I'm Morgan Earp.
Oh, the Marshal's brother?
And his deputy.
Oh.
Well.
Good-bye.
Thank you.
Good-bye again.
You can exchange that if it doesn't fit.
Thank you, Miss Lucy.
Hi, Shotgun.
Howdy, Morgan.
That's Shotgun Gibbs and his mule, Roscoe.
I know, he always brays at me
every time he sees me.
See?
Hush up, Roscoe. Come on.
Just mind your manners.
I'm telling you for the last time,
you just keep your opinion of Miss Lucy Tedder to yourself.
Bye.
Wyatt.
You told me to keep an eye
on your brother Morgan.
Well?
Well, I think he's heading for trouble.
- Trouble?
- Yep.
I just seen him talking to Miss Lucy Tedder.
Why is that trouble?
Well, Roscoe don't approve of her.
Is that all?
Now hold on a minute.
Roscoe ain't been wrong about a gal yet.
Mr. Gibbs, I'm not gonna get in another hoorah with Morgan
on the say-so of a mule.
You just don't pay no attention to him, Roscoe.
Morgan, please.
Lucy, I've been buying a new shirt every day for a week.
Well, I know that, Morgan.
Well, I can't afford it much longer.
So let's get married.
Married?
Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Earp.
What would your brother say?
Would he approve?
What do I care?
He's been big brothering me all my life.
Getting married's my own affair.
And yours.
You love me don't you?
Well, I think so.
I know, we'll elope.
That's what we'll do.
Morgan, I have to think about it.
How long?
Two or three days maybe?
Getting married's a very serious thing.
Oh.
Tomorrow's Sunday, I'll take you for a drive.
Please go.
Will you?
Yes yes.
Now go, okay?
Aw, isn't that nice?
A nice Sunday ride.
Wyatt,
I wouldn't dismiss Roscoe's opinion
of that girl too lightly.
Why?
Well, a couple of nights ago,
out back of the emporium,
I saw her talking confidential with Tom McLaury.
Clanton's McLaury?
That's the only one I know.
That doesn't prove anything.
Well, last night I was talking to an old saddle tramp,
when the boy came walking by
taking her home.
Saddle tramp said if I was Wyatt Earp,
I'd ride out to old man clanton's place
and ask me some questions about that girl.
What questions?
That's all I could find out.
You found out plenty.
Hmm.
I found out some more from Mrs. Abbot.
Lucy's quitting the end of the week.
Smells to me like an elopement.
Why can't he keep out of trouble?
Are you forgetting who got him into this?
Don't worry, Wyatt.
I'll ride out to old man clanton's
the first thing in the morning.
No you won't. I'll ride out there
first thing in the morning.
He's my brother.
Well, don't just stand there.
Go on. You'll find it in the southeast...
You here on law business?
No. Personal.
What kind of personal business?
- Love.
- Love?
Between my brother Morgan and Lucy Tedder.
Well...
Who's Lucy Tedder?
I was hoping you'd tell me.
She knows Tom McLaury
so she must have some connection with your outfit.
If she does, I'd consider it a favor
to know about it.
Why should I do you a favor?
Because I don't want personal matters causing trouble.
Now what if she is really mixed up some way
with one of your hoodlums?
Well now, you've got a crust, Earp.
Using the word hoodlum right here on my own porch.
Forget it.
Hold your horses now.
How soon do you want this information?
Today.
Right off and in a hurry
so I gotta drop everything.
Just like you was a friend of mine, which you ain't.
Now.
Don't start acting like a John law, Sonny.
If there's anything I get on Lucy Tedder,
I'll ride in and tell you.
Thank you, Mr. Clanton.
But not as a favor, you understand?
I'm only doing this to save me
some trouble, like you said.
Go get Tom McLaury!
Hyah. Hyah.
Well.
- Howdy, Virgil.
- Howdy, Morg.
Where's Wyatt?
He rode out this morning on business.
Well, why'd you send for me?
Wyatt got a problem?
No, I have.
What's her name?
Lucy Tedder.
We're aiming to get married.
I want you to be my best man.
Well now.
That calls for a tall beer.
She comes from Missouri.
She's a wonderful girl, Virgil.
Sings in the choir too.
Drink your beer. I'll take you down to meet her.
Oh, there's time enough for that.
Well, when's the happy day?
Right away. As soon as possible.
We're aiming to elope,
but well, we figured eloping might make it
look like we were ashamed of something.
Sometimes eloping's the best idea.
I did.
Yeah. Pa thought Allie was too skittish.
And her pa thought I was too young,
so we just up and eloped.
Sure. And you're happy, aren't you?
Ah, don't start me bragging.
Why didn't you ask Wyatt to stand up with you?
Wyatt.
I don't want him doing nothing with me.
He's my big brother, but he's something awful, Virgil.
Well, that's the way it is, Morg,
when there's a big family of boys.
Each one has to pick on the one next to him.
See, your trouble is
there's no Earp in Tombstone younger than you.
I'm tired of getting picked on.
Mmm.
Big brothering you, huh?
I'll go see him.
Maybe he needs a dose of his own medicine.
Well, Virgil.
The messiest desk I ever saw.
What kind of a greeting is that?
Hey, what are you doing down here?
Do you always wear your hat like that?
What's wrong with my hat?
You look like a dude.
Why don't you wear it more on the back of your head?
Because I don't like to wear it on the back of my head.
Come on, get out of that chair, will you?
I got some work to do.
That your horse out there?
What about it?
You shouldn't be riding a plug like that, Wyatt.
Why didn't you say something? I'd have brought you down a good horse.
That happens to be the best horse
in this part of the country.
Look, what's the idea of coming in here
and big brothering me like I was years old?
If that's the way you're gonna act, you can get on the stage
and go on back to Prescott.
Howdy, Wyatt.
That's better.
I was just giving you a little taste
of what you've been dishing out to Morgan.
Oh, so that's why you're here, huh?
- He sent for you?
- Yeah.
Wants me to be his best man.
He thinks you don't like his girl.
I'm not so sure I do.
I don't hold with families interfering
between young couples.
I happen to believe in the politeness and dignity
among all members of a family.
On both sides.
Yeah, but Virgil, he could be making a big mistake.
So, let him. It's his life.
Hello, Mr. Clanton.
You know my brother Virgil.
Three earps in town?
Two wasn't enough?
I'm just visiting.
Huh.
That little brother of yours sure picked himself a mess of b*ll*ts.
Lucy Tedder's spoke for.
- Spoke for?
- Engaged to get married.
To Joe McLaury.
First cousin of Tom Frank McLaury
who works for me.
Joe McLaury?
He got years for bank robbery,
he's in jail in Tucson.
There ain't no jail in the west
big enough to hold Joe McLaury
if he was to hear someone's messing with his girl.
Especially an Earp.
How could you ever let a thing like that happen, Wyatt?
Your own brother.
You should have stopped it as soon as it started.
Well, he better stop it now,
or there'll be sh**ting. The McLaury's are a big part of my outfit.
And if'n they tango with the Earps,
you can just count me and Ringo and Brocious
on their side.
Now, I don't want no fighting
over a tomfoolish girl.
But if it comes to that,
don't get in front of my g*n.
You'll be giving me a lot of pleasure.
Well, it won't come to that, Mr. Clanton.
See it don't.
Thank you for the information.
Don't thank me for nothing.
Just tell young Morg to leave that girl
strictly alone.
A gunslinger's girl.
Now...
Maybe it is my fault.
I kind of got him into it.
Well, you'd better get him out.
And fast.
Howdy, Morg.
Howdy, Virgil.
You...
deliver those subpoenas?
First thing this morning.
Morgan, I got some bad news for you.
Bad news?
You'd better sit down.
I'll take it standing up.
All right.
Lucy Tedder isn't quite...
quite the perfect lady she seems to be.
Go on.
Well, she's hooked up with one of Clanton's hoodlums.
I don't believe it.
No.
But she's engaged to marry Joe McLaury
who's in jail in Tucson for bank robbery.
That's a lie.
A dirty, filthy lie.
Yes, sir. That's what I like.
A nice, close-knit family.
Did he hurt you?
Yeah, he cut my lip.
Come on, we gotta bring him back here.
For what?
Take him to that jail in Tucson.
If he won't believe me, maybe he'll believe McLaury.
Oh, Wyatt.
Telegram for you.
Come over the wire.
Well, howdy, Virgil.
Howdy, Shotgun.
How are things in Prescott?
Ah, comparatively quiet.
Well, now we're really in trouble.
Looks like we won't be going to Tucson.
- Why not?
- 'Cause McLaury won't be there.
They were transferring him yesterday
to the territorial prison in Yuma.
k*lled a guard, stole a horse,
got clean away.
Joe McLaury, well I never even heard the name before.
I knew Wyatt was lying.
What did he say?
He said you were engaged to marry him.
You just wait till I see that brother of yours.
He'll get a piece of my mind.
Well, you're not gonna see him.
We're eloping. Tonight.
Tonight?
I'll be back at : .
You leave the door open.
Morgan, are you sure?
I'm crazy about you.
Don't you know that?
Oh, Morgan.
I'll be ready.
If any of us Earps sh**t Joe McLaury,
we'll have a full scale w*r on our hands.
Looks like I'm elected.
No, you're not elected.
I don't want him sh*t. I want him arrested.
Unharmed.
Well now, just... just hold on a minute.
Now I ain't against taking him for you, Wyatt.
But if he gets a drop on me
and I cash in,
who's gonna look out after my dependent?
What dependent?
Well, Roscoe, of course.
Shotgun, if anything should happen to you,
I personally will see to it
that that mule of yours has his own private pasture
the rest of his long-eared life.
Well, thank you, Virgil.
That's... that's mighty kind of you.
Now wait a minute.
I'll take my chances with Clanton.
I got Morg into this, I'll get him out of it.
Lucy?
Lucy?
I heard the bell.
I got you a real easy horse.
We'll be over the border by morning
and get married in Nogales.
Morgan, I hope we're doing the right thing.
We're doing just that.
Come on.
Going somewhere, Lucy?
Joe McLaury?
None other.
But you said you didn't know him.
She knows me, all right.
She's promised to marry me.
You?
She's engaged to me.
You're one of them Earps, ain't you?
At least that's what I heard in that jail.
Yes, I'm an Earp.
You know,
I think I could have took it.
My girl was sugaring up to an ordinary man.
When it was told to me
that she took up with an Earp,
why, I kind of saw red.
I didn't take up with him, Joe.
He just came pushing around here.
And you were gonna be in jail for years.
I'd have been when you got out.
I had no choice.
You got one now.
You, Honey, of course.
Any money in that till?
- Yes.
- Get it.
He pushed, did he?
Just back up there, Earp.
I said, back up!
Listen, McLaury,
you k*ll me and my big brother will ride you down
if he's got to go all the way to Mexico City.
And which big brother is that, Earp?
Wyatt Earp, U.S. Marshal.
Oh, that big brother.
Now I'm real scared.
I got it all, Joe.
Say your prayers, Earp.
Joe!
Well, now, the sweethearts reunited.
That's what I call a fitting punishment.
Get them out of here.
What are you doing here? You're supposed to be off-duty.
I just thought I'd hang around a little.
What for?
Well, i...
I thought maybe if you weren't too busy,
you could show me how to do that
quick draw of yours.
You want me to teach you?
Well,
you're my big brother, aren't you?
It isn't everybody that's got a big brother
to big brother them.
Ah, who pays for the b*ll*ts?
I'm afraid you do.
I'm broke buying shirts.
