(male narrator)
Wyatt's brothers, Virgil
and Morgan, came to Dodge city
in the fall of .
And wanted Wyatt to return
with them to Arizona territory
where opportunities
in ranching or mining
seemed to be almost fabulous.
But neither Wyatt
nor his brothers
realized that Arizona
at that time
was ruled by a handful
of corrupt officials
in league with cattle thieves,
stage robbers and hoodlums.
Earp's had ample warning
of this situation
when old man Clanton
and his boys
stopped off in Dodge.
[rattling]
No, I do not wish to discuss
this with you any further.
You insult
my intelligence, sir.
And I say, sir, that you insult
the memory of Mr. Tom Jefferson.
And I say
Tom Jefferson's a liar
and all men are not
created equal.
Why, that does it sir.
Prepare to defend yourself.
Now, you two fellas quit that.
You might hit one of my horses.
Then get your horses
out of the way.
Alright now, sir.
Apologize or fight.
- 'Go get Marshal Earp.'
- Marshal Earp!
- Fight! Fight! Marshal Earp!
- You're plumb loco, mister.
The good Lord didn't
create you equal to me.
That does it, sir.
Make your pay.
Virgil!
Morgan!
You keep out of this, sir.
Have you two gone loco?
Can't two gentlemen
fight in peace?
I'll fire a shot
to warn him.
[g*nsh*t]
Now, mister,
I'm waiting for you.
Oh, no, sir!
I am waiting for you.
Despite what you two may think
your actions are not
the least bit funny.
It's your turn
to warn this gentleman.
I believe it is.
Hold it! Hold it!
Ha ha ha.
Virgil and Morgan.
Uh, suckered again.
Practical joke
of hoaxing
is the lowest
form of humor.
He can take
them both to jail.
Your face, brother.
If I'd only had a camera.
Run 'em in, Marshal.
That one took
a shot at Doc Holliday.
They're both under arrest.
Let's go to jail. Doc, you come
along too. You're a witness.
- You aiming to fine us?
- That's right.
as*ault with a deadly w*apon
on Doctor Holliday.
I warned you, Morgan.
You and your jokes. Ha ha ha.
Come on, doc.
Admit it was a good joke.
No!
Now, I've given Wyatt a formal
statement to the effect
that your
was accidentally discharged.
However, I will not condone or
encourage your crude horseplay
by referring
to it is humor.
- He's sour.
- No, Morgan, I am not sour.
I just happen to have a healthy
respect for a really good joke.
Oh, well, don't
rush off now, doc.
They are your brothers
so you visit with them.
I'm three hundred dollars
loser at the Long Branch.
- But, doc..
- Let him go, Morgan.
He hasn't been feeling
too well lately.
These are all the letters
you brought from home?
All I could remember
to bring.
Oh, Wyatt, how about
Arizona territory?
Yeah, when can you
leave Dodge?
Anytime, I guess.
But you, uh...you better
tell me a little bit more about
this paradise out there in the
middle of all that sagebrush.
Well, look, like I
wrote you from Prescott.
Howdy, doc?
Well, the Clantons.
This is a bad day, I thought
the Texas Rangers hanged you.
Ease off, boys.
Doc and me is old friends.
I'll let
that pass, Clanton.
What is your
business with me?
We're looking for Dave Bennett
of the Lazy Q.
Well, I haven't seen him.
You better rack these g*ns.
You're carrying one.
Clanton, teach your brat
some manners.
That's the last good advice
you'll get from me.
Stop that.
We are here to see Bennett.
We don't want
no Kansas law on us.
Ben...pop is right.
Go get the others.
We're putting up
at the Santa Fe Hotel.
Do you hear me, Phin?
- Yes, sir.
- Well, get along, will ya?
And don't start
no ruckus with nobody.
That's Prescot, where I
just bought a house.
It's good ranching country
to the south and to the east.
It's been a big silver strike
down here in Pima County.
Most of it centers
around Tombstone.
I favor Tombstone, Wyatt.
Plenty of claims left
if you push along quick.
Tombstone, huh?
Yeah, it's quite a name.
That whole Pima County is
kinda rough, they tell me.
Ah, Virgil's
an old married man.
[chuckling]
Well, I'll tell you
I'm tired.
I'm tired of Dodge city and
I'm tired of wearing a badge
and Dodge city doesn't
need me anymore.
How much will it cost to move
couple of wagons over, huh?
- Hey, Virg, he's gonna do it.
- Sure, I'm gonna do it.
Now
you go on and buy the gear.
Get it ready and take
my share outta that.
Why can't you help
us pick it up?
I got a little chore
I've to do, I've to go
kind of explain things
to Mayor Kelly.
You've met the Mayor before.
He is gonna try
and Irish me outta it.
Arizona, that's for us.
Yeah, let's hope we
don't regret it, huh?
[dramatic music]
- Yes, boss.
- We'll check in.
Then go back to the stable
and pick up our trappings.
Come on, boys.
My name is Clanton.
NC Clanton.
Pima County, Arizona.
Yes, sir, Mr. Clanton.
What can I do for you?
Three rooms.
I'm sorry, we're all filled up.
No, you ain't.
There are three rooms.
- Straight up.
- Alright.
The best ones.
[dramatic music]
Hurry it up
up there now.
[clattering]
(male # )
'Open up, sir, open up!'
When I say three rooms,
I mean it.
This is Dodge City, Kansas.
We've got a police force here.
- You're tired of living?
- No.
But you can't go around kickin'
people out of their rooms.
Somebody is bound
to tell Mr. Earp.
I doubt it.
- This is outrageous.
- Shut up!
You can't do this.
- The room is all clear, pop.
- Good.
Now, we aim to act nice.
We won't be here long.
We won't even tote our
g*ns on the street.
- You aim to act nice too?
- Yes, Mr. Clanton.
Good. Then, I
got that settled.
Alright, let's
move in boys.
[slow paced music]
[music continues]
[indistinct chattering]
Dave.
Oh, howdy, doc?
Suit yourself.
Have a drink.
You, uh..
You know that old man Clanton
is looking for you?
Yeah.
He wrote me
to meet him here.
So, how many's with him.
Ike and Phin are the only
ones I saw.
Man, I guess I better
get it over with.
My outfit's
still on the trail.
Dave...why don't you
tell Wyatt Earp?
Oh...he wouldn't help me.
Where is Clanton stayin'?
I don't know.
But you better
let him find you.
No, I don't want to make
him all the meaner.
But...thanks anyway, doc.
Fourteen hundred dollars
and seventy three cents.
I told you to bring
the whole eight thousand.
Those were stolen
cattle you sold me.
Who says so?
The Mexicans
you took 'em from.
They jumped my trail boss
in New Mexico near Las Vegas.
And they took back
every steer.
Well, you still
owe me eight thousand.
- He needs a p*stol whipping.
- He can raise the money.
Shut up!
Now, I don't aim to quarrel
with an elderly man like you.
How much can you raise?
Well, four,
maybe five thousand.
Make it six thousand.
- What time is it, Ike?
- Almost sundown.
: , pop.
Bring the money here
by nine o'clock.
- You hear?
- I can't. The bank's closed.
Find the banker. Nine o'clock.
Alright, take him outta here.
'Here, here, leave
those g*ns here now.'
We don't aim
to be rousted
by no Kansas police
that we can't fix.
We're in Arizona.
Now remember that.
[dramatic music]
Here's to you, Wyatt.
Ah, Virg. Milk.
Oh, excuse the beer, Wyatt.
I keep forgettin'.
Now you fellas can laugh
and joke all you want to
but milk is a very good
habit to get into.
Yeah, I wish Morg
would stay on milk.
Go on, Morg.
You were toastin'.
Ah, a toast.
Let's see now.
Oh, doc!
You're just in time.
We're drinking
Wyatt's healthy milk.
Here, I'll pour
another one.
Keep it a step
out of my sight.
I swore off milk, when I was
twenty two months of age.
Wyatt, you ever hear
of old man Clanton?
No. Why?
Virgil?
Morgan?
Clanton, isn't he a rancher
in Southern Arizona?
Seems to me
I've heard his name--
No, he is a cattle thief
and a k*ller.
Rangers ran him out of Texas
and now he's in Dodge.
Tell your brothers
to take a walk.
Trouble? If that's it,
count us in.
No, you don't.
Come on, Morgan.
Let's go.
I'll see you
at the office, Wyatt.
- Alright.
- Out.
Dave Bennett
of the Lazy Q
has being trying to raise
six thousand dollars.
He's in a hurry
and he's scared.
Well, why didn't
he come to me first?
Well, you buffaloed him and
threw him in jail once remember?
Well, that's impersonal.
But Dave took it personal.
You hurt his feelings.
Wyatt, hasn't it ever occurred
to you that a man
battered over the skull
with a
might just have a few
twinges of ancient pride?
But I handled Mr. Bennett
because he and the Lazy Q
started the big hurrah
in town.
I'll go and try to find him.
You visit with
Virgil and Morgan.
I wanna keep 'em outta this.
Thank you, Deacon.
Usually scoundrels amuse me.
But not old man Clanton.
He is mean...and he is stupid.
[dramatic music]
Wesley, can I
have the check?
And that's the truth
since you asked me.
I can't raise the money
by nine o'clock.
And I can't run.
Clanton's got four men
with him, huh?
Yeah, his boys,
Ike and Ben
and couple of g*n slingers
that I don't know.
At the Santa Fe Hotel?
Alright, Mr. Bennett,
I'll take care of it.
Why should you?
I ain't caused you
nothing but trouble.
Extortion is a felony.
If I were you, Mr. Bennett,
I wouldn't drink anymore.
I'd go to the Dodge house, lock
myself in the room. Stay there.
Alright, Marshal.
Much obliged.
[slow paced music]
- Evening, Mr. Reeves.
- Oh, hello, Marshal.
I'm looking for
old man Clanton.
I understand he and his crowd
checked into the hotel here.
They were here but
they checked out.
- Oh.
- No, I'm lying to you, Marshal.
I just don't want to
have any more trouble.
Clantons still in their rooms?
No, they went down the street
to the Texas House.
Wearing g*ns?
Not that I could see.
They are mean people,
Marshal. Real mean.
You're gonna need
every deputy you got.
And do me a favor, will you?
Jump 'em out on the street.
Rooms , , .
I'll take the keys.
Look, Mr. Earp don't
get me mixed up in this.
They're liable to come back
any minute.
I'll go get a search warrant
if you want it.
No.
I'm leaving.
And don't get yourself
cornered upstairs.
[dramatic music]
[thwacking]
[indistinct cheering]
[cheering continues]
[laughing]
Now stomp him, Phin.
Yeah.
You stomp him, pop.
He called you the names.
[laughing]
[thud]
What time is it, Ike?
: .
Let's get back
to the hotel.
[indistinct chattering]
[dramatic music]
He's probably gone
back to the office.
No. Look yonder.
(Morgan)
'Hey, Wyatt.'
Pop, look, ain't
that a John Law?
Might be.
What's he got on us?
Two more fellas
by the water troff.
We should have our g*ns.
We'll have 'em soon enough.
Morgan do me a favor,
go to the office
get the deputies
here on the double.
- Are those the Clantons?
- That's right.
Hold it, Morg. We don't
need your deputies.
(Virgil)
'We'll go get our g*ns
in half a minute.'
No, I don't want a gunfight.
(Virgil)
'What's the idea?'
I took their g*ns outta their
rooms, locked them in the safe.
I wanna give those Clantons
a good rousing of bare knuckles.
The deputies handy
with their fists?
Yes, they are.
Still think it's
a risky plan, Wyatt.
Pop, do we know them
men over there?
No, no.
We'll see if Bennett's
here with the money.
If he ain't, we'll
go get him.
You're always pulling
this big brother stuff on me.
Well, you're always
pulling on me.
There's no use
arguing with him Morg
he was the stubbornest
one in the family.
Alright, get your deputies.
I think it's a reckless plan.
Virgil's right
this time, Wyatt.
- Come on, Morg.
- Here.
Hold those, I'm going
after them myself.
They'll m*ssacre him, Virg.
He needs a good lesson.
Where's Wyatt going
without his g*ns?
He think he can lick five
Clantons all by himself.
Wyatt lost his temper, doc. Virg
thinks we shouldn't help him.
Well, somebody's gotta help him.
You keep out of it, doc.
It's a family matter.
- 'Pop, my g*n's been stolen.'
- 'So is mine.'
(Clanton)
'You just can't get yours.'
'Razz, Dunlap, we've been
robbed. Look in your room.'
No g*ns, Mr. Clanton.
We'll ring this
fleabag inside out.
- Open up there, open up.
- Hold it!
I'm the fella
that took your g*ns.
You did?
Look out, pop, he's a John Law.
Why ain't you armed, sonny?
Well, I kinda figured
we'd all start even.
I wanted to see just how tough
you boys from
Arizona really were.
Phin, take him.
I'll get him.
Give him the boot.
- Wait, I'll do it! Hold him.
- 'Let me get him.'
You take that one, Morg.
[grunting]
I'll get me a g*n.
[glass shattering]
Argh!
- Where's Morgan?
- In there.
Morg, no, you'll break
his arm. Let go!
Come on.
- You alright?
- Yeah. Punch him.
- Where are you going?
- To get me a g*n.
Here's one.
[thud]
Virgil, what happened to
that man you were fighting with?
That was Phin Clanton, I think.
- Well, what happened to him?
- I threw him out the window.
What happened to him, doc?
Well, he wanted a g*n so I
gave him the barrel of yours.
That's great!
Judge Tobin isn't gonna like
this. I can't say I blame him.
I wanted the Clantons rousted
but I didn't expect to have
a man thrown out the window.
Old man Clanton
busted over the head.
He may have a fractured skull.
Well, he'll live
I'm sorry to say.
Virgil, would you be kind
enough to take me outside
and show me where
Phin Clanton landed?
He just might be dead.
Oh, take it easy now, Wyatt.
What's Wyatt hollering about? He
punches harder than any of us.
Yeah, that he does.
You know, the combined
punching power of the Earps
is gonna come in mighty
handy in Arizona.
Mr. Bennett has
testified that
our visitors from
Arizona Territory
tried to extort
$ from him
in payment
for stolen cattle.
Marshal Earp has testified
that he and his brothers
and Doctor Holliday
'were obliged to subdue the
suspects with physical measures'
'in order to avoid a gunfight.'
'Marshal Earp?'
Yes, sir?
The court must reprimand
you for an excess of zeal
in arresting the suspects.
'The court cannot
condone v*olence'
'on the part of police officers
and their special deputies.'
When by your own testimony
the use of less extreme force
could've accomplished
'the arrest of Clanton
and his men.'
Yes, sir.
Mr. Clanton...it's
the opinion of this court
'that Mr. Bennett
has told the truth.'
'However, he cannot provide
corroborating testimony.'
The case against you and your
associates is dismissed.
[crowd chattering]
Your honor.
Order!
Yes, Marshal Earp.
Your honor, Mr. Bennett's men,
about twenty of them
just come in off
the cattle drive for Lazy Q.
I'd like to recommend that
Mr. Clanton and his boys
be put in protective custody
till they're ready to get
on their train for Arizona.
Very well,
it is so ordered.
Court's adjourned.
This way.
Keep moving.
Keep those guys out of town
and get them out fast.
There are your g*ns.
Don't take them
out of that sack
until you've
crossed the Kansas line.
And I've got an order
for you too.
Oh?
Stay out of Arizona,
you and them brothers of yours.
If I catch you around
Tombstone, you won't live.
You make my apologies
to the conductor.
Wild animals should be caged,
but we didn't have the time.
