The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp

Wyatt Earp as Marshal of Wichita, Kansas, in 1875,

has yet to face the most dangerous threat

which can confront a Western cow town.

Rebellious cowboys need only a leader like Manning Clements,

the deadliest gunfighter on the brawling Chisholm Trail,

to become an invading brand of outlaws

determined to kill every peace officer and citizen who stands in their way.

Uhh!

Fight! Fight!

Stop it! Come back here!

You shoot your mouth off about this,

and you'll be in worse trouble.

Right from the soil, Mr. Earp!

He's bleeding all over the place!

A man kicked him right in the stomach!

You wait here.

Who beat you up, Mr. Haley?

From Bennett's bouncer.

I run into a crooked Faro game.

Look at this deal box.

I haven't seen one like that in a long time.

Gapped up like that, you didn't have a chance.

That's why I grabbed it.

Bennett's dealer use this?

Yeah.

I slipped it into my pocket before they jumped me.

You need a doctor, Mr. Haley.

I need a gun.

Ah, you forget about the gun. That's what I get paid for.

You men take him on over to Doc Fabrique's office.

I'm all right. I'm all right.

No, you go on over there.

Forget about Bennett. He's my problem.

- All right. - Come on.

You ever see this before, Bennett?

Of course not.

They both got your own personal brand of cards in them.

Only this one's a screw box.

It's not mine.

Mr. Haley gave me this.

He said your dealer used it to cheat him.

He's gonna repeat that under oath.

I don't think so.

Mr. Haley was a friend of mine I'd like to return what you gave him.

Uhh!

Now I'm gonna give you six hours

to close up and get out of town, Bennett.

You can't prove that...

I can prove!

You're short in this town.

I said six hours.

Sam, your men about ready?

They're all set here, Marshal.

Good.

Oh, Mr. Murdock.

What's the news?

Dave Bennett.

He's been squawking about your order.

Well, that's good.

Dave's got about the most crooked place I've ever seen.

You just can't tolerate crooked gambling.

I like an honest game too much myself.

And so does every cowhand I ever met.

Gambling house makes plenty of money on its percentage.

Dave didn't have to cheat.

Bennett isn't gonna take this lying down.

He may have to.

What's the idea of letting Earp run you out of town, Dave?

He ain't got no right to close you up.

You got about three minutes left, Mr. Bennett.

When I come back here, you won't have three minutes.

All I'll need is 3/5 of a second with a Colt .45

if I ever see you in Wichita again.

You're bragging on yourself again, ain't you, Earp?

I don't think so.

You ain't man enough to drink liquor, so you don't like saloons.

You're too lazy to work, so you don't like cowhands.

You asking for trouble?

That's just what I'm asking for.

Come on, men. Let's go get our guns.

All right, now break it up.

Go on! Move!

Your time's run out, Mr. Bennett.

Next time you see me in Wichita,

you'll be hiding up a tree.

- Howdy. - Howdy.

Can one of you tell me where I'll find Manning Clements?

Well, Manning's here, but he's in a pretty mean mood.

If I were you, I'd wait till after sunup.

Well, my business is real urgent.

Over past that big rock.

But be sure to call out your name before you ride up.

I know. Thanks.

Manning's killed 26 men.

Hey, I wonder if I did the right thing by telling that stranger.

26 poor fellows in their grave.

Hey, Manning?

It's Dave Bennett. You remember me?

Come on along.

But keep your hands in the air.

Is this the way you want it?

That's the way I want it.

And with you to lead them, I can round up the boys,

and we'll tree Wichita to a frazzle.

But your main job is to take care of Wyatt Earp.

What's so important about Earp?

He's almost as fast with a gun as you.

How many men has Earp killed?

Nobody yet. He hasn't had to.

But he's that fast.

Well, I'm faster.

And I always shoot to kill.

Treat Earp that way.

You get 200 right now and 200 more after you cut him down.

What is the catch in this?

No catch.

How do I know what I'll run into?

Those rabbits won't fight.

Just Earp and a couple of deputies.

If it's more money you want...

It ain't the money, Dave.

I've cut a man in half with buckshot for $50,

and for no money at all.

Well, then what's bothering you?

I don't like towns.

You get Earp out here.

Oh, he's not that stupid.

He tricked Ben Thompson into surrendering Bill over at Ellsworth.

Ben turned Billy in?

Was Ben scared of Earp?

He didn't gun him.

Then I reckon I'll have to settle up for Bill.

I always liked Bill.

Then it's a deal?

No.

Maybe it's an ambush in Wichita.

Could be you're trying to bait me into a trap.

Where's Lori?

Why are you asking?

You trust her, don't you?

She the onlyest one I trust.

I'll send her into Wichita.

We haven't got time for that.

I've got time.

Manning, I swear...

You swear?

I'm waiting for Lori's word on it.

And don't you try and tempt me with killing Earp.

Because if I go into Wichita,

I intend to do a lot more killing than just him.

But I ain't riding in there to be ambushed.

I'll do the killing.

Sure, Manning.

You do the killing.

I'll bring 'em in.

Come on in, men.

Marshal, Mr. Tom Davidson.

How do you do, sir?

Mr. Davidson, you and your men refuse to check your guns.

Is that correct?

We're not saying any more.

Ah, you don't look like the type of men

that would want to spend ten days in jail.

Ten days?

We can't be in jail when...

Manning Clements is coming to town.

What?

With a lot of cowhands.

They aim to tree Wichita.

Clements is gonna gun you, Mr. Earp.

Where'd you hear this?

We trailed him from Dodge City.

Last night, we joined a cattle outfit driving here.

There was a lot of wide-open talk.

You say you were trailing Clements?

He killed my son.

Murdered him in cold blood.

Killed my grandson.

Killed his brother.

You blame us for trailing him... with guns?

No, sir, I don't. I'm sorry.

Then turn us loose.

Mr. Davidson,

are any of your men expert with a gun?

There'll be five of us against Clements.

He'd kill two or three of you before you got him.

That's a big price to pay.

I don't think your families would want you to pay.

I'd pay it... for my boy.

Not in this town you won't.

Mr. Leger, we'll have to hold them for a day or so.

I'm going over to the newspaper office.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.

I thought you'd be around.

You heard about it, huh?

Uh-huh.

This might be real rough, Wyatt.

Clements is supposed to have killed about 24 men.

Yeah.

Did you ever meet him?
