In this western, almost-mythical lawman Wyatt Earp is hired to bring peace and justice to a wild, wooly cattle town. First Earp bans the possession of firearms within the city limits. This makes him most unpopular until the banker's wife is shot and killed. The ploy works and the town becomes peaceful. Then Earp begins trying to oust the local outlaw leader. Mayhem ensues but justice prevails.
