Lawman Wyatt Earp, plans on retiring in the Old West town of Tombstone, but when his brother is killed by the Clanton Gang, he and Doc Holliday plan their revenge.
Typically Hollywoodised build up to the Gunfight at the OK Corral, done better in films before and even since. Released at a time when westerns had fallen out of favour with cinema audiences, this version was still more successful than Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp (qv), released barely a year later.
