Narrator: marshal earp

Had left dodge city

To arrest a m*rder*r

In the brown's hole country.

Wyatt had hoped

To get back before

Cow trail hoodlums

Could organize

An attack on the town,

But he had underestimated

Curly brocius

And johnny ringgold.

K*llers with a grudge

Against him and dodge city.

Kelly!

Come on out!

We want to talk

To you!

( g*nf*re )

Why those dirty--

They'll g*n you, jim!

We won't hurt you, kelly.

We want to make

A deal with you.

I'll face him.

Cover me.

If they sh**t,

Get brocius and ringgold.

That's the least

You can do.

All right, all right.

I'm listening.

Come closer.

I'll do that too.

Well? What's

The deal, curly?

The boys want to

Set fire to this

Miserable town

And watch it burn.

I'm still for that.

Hold your temper,

Johnny.

We're giving you

A break.

Indeed! Name it.

You fire earp

And in writing.

And you post

A bond with us

To make sure you don't

Hire him again.

All right.

I'll fire him.

Yeah, you say

That now.

We want $ ,

As a guarantee.

$ , ?!

Why, this town can't

Raise that kind of money.

You're kind of stupid

Today, mr. Kelly.

When the bank burns,

We're going to get

More than $ , .

I want to make

This legal, johnny.

We don't rob the bank,

You hand the money

To us.

Or you burn the town?

Well, give me

Half an hour.

Uh-uh.

Minutes.

This man's gonna

Hang for m*rder.

You pull him back

There in the brush

And hold him

Until I come back.

As mr. Earp says.

You turning me over

To an injun?

Why, he'd k*ll me

For my boots.

He wouldn't

Touch you.

There's a spur

Of the santa fe nearby.

I'll try and find myself

A hand car

And go back

Into dodge city.

Into dodge city,

Are you loco?!

Well, you got any

Better ideas, mr. Gibbs?

Well, I sure have.

Me and the mule

Are heading back

To utah.

Oh?

I was gonna make you

My chief deputy.

Me, a johnny law?

( Laughs )

Well, that -gauge

Of yours

And those rifled slugs

Would be a revelation

In dodge city.

I could use a cannon

Like that right now.

Well, I'm looking

For peace, not trouble.

Well then, mr. Gibbs,

I suggest you go back east

And find yourself

A nice quiet little town.

Good luck,

Mr. Gibbs.

They're not fooling,

Judge.

I'm going down

To the bank

And get the money.

But it's plain

Extortion, jim.

No! It's fire

Insurance.

Well, roscoe,

Here's where

We turn west.

Can't do earp

No good now.

Darn fool. He's just

The same as dead.

Oh, west, roscoe! West!

You don't care

Nothing about earp.

This here trail

Into dodge

Is just easier,

That's all.

All right,

You go into dodge.

You'll get your

Dadgum ear shot off.

All right,

You long-eared fool.

If you want to

Go into dodge,

Let's go.

Ain't no time

To waste.

Get moving!

$ , .

$ , .

Count it.

Take it, johnny.

Now where's the letter

Firing earp?

Here.

Now get your men

Out of town

The way you agreed.

Now just a second,

Kelly.

You fire him,

But you don't say why.

Write that you're

Firing him because

He's a coward

And a thief,

And he's got bad

Moral character.

Never will i!

Wyatt deserved to be fired

Because he disobeyed my orders.

But I won't write

The man's a liar.

Well, that's just

Too bad, mr. Kelly.

You need

To see a fire.

We'll burn

Some shacks first,

Then you'll

Write what we want.

No. Without earp

To lead them,

Nobody will fight.

Come on, roscoe!

Let's go!

( Shouting )

Wonder who

That could be?

I couldn't see.

Well, curly said for us

To keep everybody

Away from that depot.

We got that

Ticket agent fella,

But whoever that is

Might try telegraphing

For help.

Come on.

Let's take a look see.

All right, boys.

Light the fire!

Hey, look

At that fire.

( Shouting )

Curly must have started

Burning the town.

Well, never mind that.

Did the fellow

Who run in here

Have g*ns?

I don't know.

I couldn't see that far.

Watch yourself.

Maybe he's in

That baggage room.

Take a look see.

( g*nf*re )

( Grunting )

( g*nf*re )

It's earp!

Get him!

( g*nf*re )

( Grunting )

Tell curly we've got earp

Cornered at the depot.

Circle him!

( g*nf*re continues )

Come out of there, earp!

You ain't got a chance.

You stay here, roscoe.

He's in the

Baggage room.

Move into

The ticket office.

It's me, wyatt!

Shotgun gibbs!

In here, shotgun.

I'll cover you.

( g*nf*re )

Into the baggage room!

We're kind of

Cornered in here,

Ain't we?

No, they're cornered.

Come on.

Rush that door.

Rush it yourself, johnny.

They're blowing our boys

To pieces now.

All right, I will.

If this ain't a corner,

I don't know corners.

How many sh*ts

You got left

For that g*n?

Fi-- I've got

Left.

Come on.

Look.

See that loading

sh**t over there?

Yup.

It's made of

Two by sixes.

Ringgold and most

Of his men are

Hiding there.

Well, you know that's

Awful stupid of them.

Because two by sixes

Don't mean nothing to us.

All right, now

You drive 'em

Out of there.

We can kick our way

Out of here,

Run back to the fence,

Cross the pens.

Hold your fire, boys.

Hold it!

Curly's on his way

With more boys.

Come on.

sh**t over their heads.

Sure.

But when we get

To them pens,

Where we

Gonna be?

We'll be near

Dutch alley.

Once we're there,

We can fight our way

House to house.

- Commence firing?

- Let them have it.

Boy, that is a cannon.

Yeah.

Come on!

Take it easy, john.

Come on.

Be careful.

Right down there.

Ringgold!

Where's earp?

Did you let him

Get away?

You hit, johnny?

Listen, they

Got a cannon.

They just shot

A big timber off

And it hit ringgold

On the head.

Yeah, that cannon.

( Sighs )

Is earp still

In the depot?

You'd better go

And look, curly.

I don't feel good.

Cannon. Ah!

Let's see

About this.

Help me get

To dutch alley

And into town.

Be careful.

Go on, burn

The whole place.

Get it over with.

Curly said

To watch you.

We'll go to the depot

To see what's next.

Now you listen to me!

Shut up

And keep moving!

Mayor kelly,

Over here!

That sounded like

Earp's buntline.

He can't be

Far away.

You're fired!

Fine! But right now,

Get down.

He must be

In the pens.

I don't want any more

Talk about a cannon.

We'll all

Search them pens.

Now spread out!

Look, I'm gonna

Make a run for

Dutch alley.

They'll come

After me.

The two of you

Hide behind that

Feed bin over there.

Now as soon as they

Come into dutch alley

After me,

The two of you take off

For that wagon where

They put the g*ns.

Here.

Now no more sh**ting.

We've had enough

k*lling already.

Let's go.

There he goes!

Get him!

( g*nf*re )

Come on!

The g*ns are over

On front street.

We'll take the other

Alley to get over there.

You take care of that.

I'm gonna help the marshal.

But wyatt said for us--

Hush up.

You go get them g*ns

And enough brave men

To use them.

No use hunting earp

Through every rathole

In this town.

It's just

What he wants.

Ah, you're

Scared of earp.

And so are you.

Only I got

Sense enough

To quit while

I'm still ahead.

Look, we got

The $ , .

Let's get our horses,

Fire the town, and ride.

Yeah. We got the money.

Get your horses.

We're riding out.

Wyatt's back in town.

Come out and fight!

Get those horses

Off the street.

Come on, boys.

Come on and fight.

Grab our g*ns

From the wagon.

All right, come on.

You men take cover.

It is earp!

The marshal's back in town.

The marshal's back, boys.

Curly ordered his men

To horseback.

I'll be busting

Along here for a showdown.

Here you go.

Here.

Come on, men.

Hole up in these

Buildings here.

Give yourselves

Cover.

Shotgun, take these horses

On down to front street.

Let's go. Get in

The back, mr. Mayor.

Come on.

Everybody get a torch!

Come on.

Come on, men.

Right down

The main drag, boys.

Throw fire into the main

Buildings this time.

Come on!

( Shouting )

Whoa.

Unhitch the wagon,

Mr. Gibbs.

Tell your men

To give us a hand

Turning the wagon over.

- ( Men shouting )

- Get on this wagon!

All right, let's go.

All right,

One of you up here.

Here we go.

One!

Tilt it over.

Here we go.

Now remember,

We want to take them alive.

Shotgun,

You hold your fire.

Been enough

k*lling already.

Well, that suits me.

I've had enough.

( g*nf*re )

Turn around

And go back.

No, we'll

Run over earp.

Come on!

All right,

Let them have it.

( g*nf*re continues )

Hold your fire!

Or we'll sh**t

The rest of you.

Pick that man up.

Hey, big fella.

What'd you have

In that cannon?

Dynamite?

No.

-Gauge

Slugs is all.

Grains of powder

And about three or

Four ounces of lead.

Well, I'm sure glad

One of them things

Didn't hit me.

Mayor kelly, mr. Gibbs

Will help you take them in.

I'm gonna bring in

Blackie sanders.

You take care

Of them, mr. Gibbs.

All right, hombres, move.

Wyatt?

Yeah?

I didn't mean

What I said...

About you

Being fired.

Oh?

Well, you try and persuade

Mr. Gibbs to stay on here

As my chief deputy,

And I might consider

Being hired again as marshal.

What's so wonderful

About mr. Gibbs?

He likes peace,

Mayor kelly.

Now you try and talk him

Into staying here

And fighting for it.

Oh, and you--

You be especially

Nice to his mule.

His name is roscoe.

I was right, mr. Earp.

I see smoke.

Hear g*ns from dodge.

That gag looks too tight.

You better take it off.

( Spits )

What are you

Trying to do?

Choke me to death?

That'll happen

Soon enough.

Mr. Shotgun.

He leave you

To fight alone?

No.

I couldn't have

Done it without him.

He stay in dodge

And help you now?

Well, I'm not

Sure of that, mr. Cousin.

That's what fidgets me.

Come on.

Big necktie party.

I thought you said

You were gonna

Give me a trial.

They must be

Out of their minds.

This is shotgun's doing.

Here comes earp.

You'd better cut us down.

Earp don't go for

This kind of rough stuff.

Hush up!

You all deserve

A real hanging.

This your idea?

Yep.

They call it sacking

Out on outlaw trail.

Mr. Gibbs insisted,

Wyatt.

He said he wouldn't

Hire on as chief deputy

Unless he could

Sack them up.

Ain't no law

That says we gotta be

Punished this way.

Well, I think

It's a good idea.

You got a star?

Yes.

Well, give it to me.

Here you are,

Mr. Chief deputy.

Well, thank you,

Marshal.

Oh, mr. Brocius,

Mr. Ringgold,

I'd like to have you meet

Blackie sanders.

He murders people

In cold blood.

When he swings, he won't

Be standing in a sack.

Command a considerable force,

That marshal earp.

He's learned me

What a peacemaker

Has to be.
