The career of the famous Western lawman begins after he takes over for the murdered sheriff of Ellsworth, Kan.

Earp tries to reduce the possibility of violence when fellow marshal Bat Masterson romances a woman whose boyfriend is an outlaw.

Earp resists forming a posse and instead uses American Indian scouts in his efforts to locate a killer.

A poor elderly man decides to support himself and a friend by stealing from a rich one; guest Denver Pyle.

Sparks fly when Ben Thompson comes to Dodge City looking for Earp's help with two women whom he promised to marry and discovers a plot on his life.

Earp's habit of using sanitation laws to shut down saloons where crooked games are played begins to anger the saloon owners, who send men after the marshal.
