Every hoodlum
in Wichita, Kansas,

wanted to get rid of
Marshal Wyatt Earp.

Men were hired to shoot him,
and they failed.

Earp had been out of town,

and a crooked gambler
by the name of Keeno Magee

had taken advantage
of his absence

to achieve some
very profitable results.

When the cat's away,
mice will play.

Get out of here!
No pictures.

Set it up!

I don't want any trouble
with you, Murdock,

but you newspaper guys got no
business taking pictures of my place!

What are you hiding, Keeno?

What's the sense of
you and me arguing?

I got a license from the
marshal's office to open.

Sure, while Marshal Earp
is out of town.

You couldn't have gotten it
when he was here.

Pete Dolgren is deputy
while Earp's away.

Now take your complaints to him!

Don't bother me!

Go ahead, take it.

Hey, you!
None of that!

You have a public license.

I want a picture of what a
crooked gambling place looks like.

Go ahead and take it.

Give me that plate!
Get that camera busted!

Hold it! Hold it,
Mac! Hold it Hold it!

Marshal!
Go on inside.

The rest of you men,
break it up.

Go on, move!

What took you so long? You said
you'd be gone only 10 or 12 days.

I'll tell you about that later.
Now what's going on here?

I want Keeno's place closed.

I want you to take
back his license.

On, now, Mr. Murdock.

We just kinda lost our
tempers, that's all.

Your name's Keeno?
Keeno Magee.

Now, Pete Dolgren, your deputy,

gave me permission
to open this place.

But Murdock here... Shut up!

Things have been happening in
your office while you were away.

You better look into them
and look into them fast

or I'll have a story to
write you might not like.

See you later.

That camera cost me $300.

It isn't all paid for yet.

You say my chief deputy
gave you permission to open?

Pete Dolgren, while you were
down in Oklahoma Territory.

Murdock doesn't like me.

It's a case of
personal prejudice.

If you don't believe it,
just ask Pete.

I will.

Now, Mr. Magee,
you got a good corner here.

The saloon has
always made money.

You just keep your nose clean.

Oh, hello, Marshal.
We missed you around here.

I missed you, too.

What do you got?

I just got a shipment
of new cards.

Gotta change them
every now and then.

Yeah, I know.

Sometimes it's hard to keep
52 of them in the same deck.

That's what causes a
lot of trouble in Wichita.

Which brings you to your point.

Hmm?
I mean you want something.

You didn't just come in
to chin with me.

All right.

You know all the saloon
keepers and gamblers in Wichita.

What do you know
about Keeno Magee?

Sometimes I think
you don't like me.

Why do you say that?

'Cause every time
you ask me a question,

it's one I can get
shot for answering.

Well, you'll be waving good-bye
to a lot of people around here,

so don't let it worry you.

Now we, uh, were talking
about Keeno.

Must have been
a one-sided conversation.

But if you have to know,

I ran across him in Dodge
a few years ago

before I ever had
a place of my own.

As a matter of fact, he asked me
to work for him as a dealer.

Hmm.
Thought I'd be a novelty.

Go on.

They were fixin' to run him
out of Dodge at that time.

A man's gotta be a pretty
bad boy to be run out of Dodge.

Crooked gambling?
Oh, lots of reasons.

Blackmail, payoffs.

He don't stop anywhere.

Sounds like a nice,
pleasant fellow.

That's why I wish you wouldn't
ask me those kind of questions.

'Cause people like Keeno
don't stop anywhere.

Well, don't worry, Miss Kate.

Don't worry?

I didn't know the right
thing to do about Keeno.

You was off to
Oklahoma Territory

helping your Indian friends.

I just had to use my
own best judgment, Wyatt.

Did Mr. Murdock tell you

that Keeno's application
for a license

had been turned down
once before?

Yes, he did.

But they've been
enemies for years.

The way I got it,

Keeno tried to buy the
mortgage on the Eagle,

put Murdock out of business.

But that's ancient
history, Wyatt.

How long has he been operating?

Opened a week ago Thursday,
about ten days.

Any trouble so far?

No, sir.

Sam Renfro knows the man
better than I do.

But both Sam and I agree

that the mans was
entitled to a license.

I'm not asking you to
explain anything, Pete.

It's just that...

this man's got a pretty
bad reputation.

Well, if I did wrong, I'll get
my horse and start riding.

I don't think you did wrong.

I think you did what
you thought was right.

You and the rest of the deputies

have backed me to
the limit so far,

and I, well, I feel the
same way about all of you.

But lets you and I keep
our eye on Keeno.

Thanks, Wyatt.

Oh, howdy, Sam.

Oh, Pete?

If you see Mr. Murdock
out there around,

will you send him on over?

Murdock's not here yet, huh?

No, not yet.

Say, uh...

you must have had quite a
showdown with that Daggett gang.

Well, I sure
could have used you,

you and that great
left-handed shooting of yours.

Captain Banteen said you
saved them two Injuns

from the happy hunting ground.

You turned up the cash
of 400 Winchesters

the Daggett gag aimed
to sell to Sitting Bull

for whatever he's up to
in Montana.

What's been happening
around Wichita?

No grief.

Just the row Pete must
have told you about.

You think it was a mistake
to give Keeno the license?

No, not exactly.

I'd close the fellow, Wyatt.

Why take the risk?

Murdock's all riled up.

He'll start a big hoorah.

Pete said you were
in favor of the license.

I was.

But I said to him
what I say to you:

Keeno's a real slimy character.

But they haven't yet
made that a reason why

a man can't get a license.

I'll tell you what
I'd do, Wyatt.

Don't let me stop you, Sam.

Luck you did, sir.
Wyatt's my boss.

I got no business
telling him what to do.

Excuse me.

Is that man a good officer?

He's the best hand
with a gun I got.

He's so brave, he scares me.

Now, Wyatt...

What's the news in Wichita?

A story I hope
I won't have to print.

Oh?

"The city refuses to take
any action on Keeno Magee," huh?

Look, Mr. Murdock, if I, uh, try to close
Keeno's place without any evidence,

I'd be putting my chief deputy
under suspicion.

And if I print that story,

you and your whole staff
will be under suspicion.

Go ahead and print it.

Wyatt...

are you sure of your deputies?

What do you mean?
Do you trust them?

Like I trust myself.

I hand-picked
each one of those men.

If I walk into trouble, like...

oh, like a bunch of
drunken cowhands

boasting that they're
gonna cut me down,

all I gotta do is give the word
that I want two deputies to back me,

and they'll be there.

I don't even have to look around

to see whether it's
Sam, Pete, Ted, or Joe.

I know they'll be there.

I don't know, Wyatt.

We're talking about
different things.

Look, you're probably
right about Keeno Magee,

but I'm not gonna change
Pete's decision

unless Keeno gets out of line.

Excuse me, Wyatt.

Rowdy Kate wants to
see you right away.

The way I got it,
it was mighty important.

Thanks.

♪

It's him, Miss Kate.
It's the marshal.

Well, send him on up.

You can come up, Mr. Earp.

And close that door
and don't try to listen.

Oh, no, Miss Kate.

Hello, Wyatt.
Hi.

I don't know why
I let you get me

all mixed up in your affairs.

Maybe it's because
you kissed me that day.

Oh, let's not go into
that again. Besides...

I know. It was really
me who kissed you.

Well, it's all been
very pleasant.

Now, why did you send for me?

You've done me several good
turns, Wyatt, and I'm fond of you.

You were asking me
a lot about Keeno Magee.

So now I can really
tell you something.

What?

Have you heard that Keeno
Magee owns one of your deputies?

Well, I hate to
think that, Miss Kate.

Well, it could be barroom talk,

but I have a hunch it's true.

Who?

Well, come on, tell me.

Which one of my deputies
do you think Keeno's bought?

Well, the way I heard it,
it's Pete Dolgren.

That's just a hunch
based on spite talk.

I don't think Pete
would take a bribe.

Well, he let Magee open.

He knew that Murdock
hates Keeno.

Well, Pete explained
all of that to me, Miss Kate.

But I thank you
for your interest.

Wyatt, listen to me.

It's only a gal's guess, but
this gal has been around.

If Keeno did buy Pete,

then he can work some kind
of a dirty frame on you, right?

Open your eyes, Wyatt.
Protect yourself.

Mildred?

Yes, Miss Kate, excuse me.

Now what is it?

Mr. Earp, Mr. Murdock sent
word he's waiting at your office.

Thank you.

And don't worry.
I'll be careful.

Well, glory hallelujah!

A man's taken my advice.

I had to send for you, Wyatt.

What's the matter?
Anonymous letter.

It was waiting for me
at my office. Read it.

"Bribe money in
Wyatt Earp's desk

for letting Keeno
Magee stay open."

Do you think I had
something to do with this?

Oh, don't be an idiot. It's
like I've been trying to tell you.

One of your deputies
is framing you.

About $300 worth.

All right. Let's call in
all of your deputies

and face them with it.

No. The first man to
face with it is Keeno.

That's exactly what he wants.

Since you found
the money in the desk,

you'd have a hard time
explaining yourself.

My only chance to find the
man who planted that money

is to make Keeno think
his frame worked.

Too risky, Wyatt.

You'll lose your star.

That would make Pete
Dolgren acting marshal.

He's the one
who helped frame you.

I don't believe that.

If Pete did do it, I'll get him.

But how can I accuse him
or any of the other deputies?

What proof do I have?

Well, there's...

no proof.

All right.

You take this money over to
Keeno and accuse him of bribing me.

Have him hauled before
Judge Jewitt? That's right.

So he takes away
your star and your guns.

That's exactly what Keeno wants,

so let's play along with him.

You intend to move around
this town without your guns?

Well, that's the law of Wichita.

Yes.

Maybe you'll be stuck with it.

♪

And this is the money that Mr. Magee
admits sending to Marshal Earp.

I found the money
in the marshal's desk.

But it ain't a bribe or
anything like that, Your Honor.

It's a free will contribution

to the Peace Officers
Christmas Fund.

Did, uh, Marshal Earp
solicit this contribution?

Well, no, sir, he didn't.

He just sort of hinted
that if I wanted

to stay in business around here,

I better pay up.

This is an astounding
charge, Marshal Earp.

Have you anything to say?

Nothing, Your Honor.

You realize this leaves the court
no choice but to suspend you?

Yes, sir.

The court would like to state,
for the benefit of the press,

that it reserves judgment

on Marshal Earp's
guilt or innocence.

Mr. Earp, you will be
suspended for one week.

If at the end of that period

you have not offered satisfactory
explanation of the matter,

you will be removed
from office permanently.

Court's adjourned.

♪

And all I'm saying is
one of us framed Wyatt.

I'm not gonna take this.

Don't look at me.
I had nothing to do with it.

You let Keeno Magee open up.

You felt the same way
I did about it.

We both felt at least
he had a right to open.

I'm gonna find out
who sent that money.

I'm gonna get
to the bottom of this.

Pete.

You're acting marshal now.

I think we should all quit.

All right. I'm willing.

So am I.

No, not all of you.

Just one of you should quit.

♪

Wyatt.

Keeno's thrown his bar
wide open to celebrate.

Free grub and drinks.

I'll pay him a visit.
Oh, no, I'll do that.

Put those on.
You might need them.

I can't. The judge
suspended me.

Now, do you want to be legal
or do you wanna be dead?

Keep those handy.

I'll have plenty of time
to put them on

after I find out
who helped Keeno on the deal.

I think I can find out.
Oh?

Now you go to the hotel.

Stay off the streets, promise?

All right.

Now wait here a second

until I've got a good
start for Keeno's place.

You be careful.

You're the one
who better be careful.

Come in, come in.

It's Rowdy Kate, boss.
She wants to see you.

Well, bring her in!

Come on, Miss Kate.

Miss Kate!
My darling!

My competitor!

But still my friend, I hope.

Sure, Keeno.

Pull that out for me since
you're feeling like a gent tonight.

Well, it'd be a privilege!

There you are, Kate.

Thank you.

Well, Wyatt Earp got fired.

Where's the champagne?

Champagne!
The best in the house!

Somebody told me that, uh,

you and Earp used to be friends.

Used to be for about a week.

What's the next move, boss?

No move.

Why do you call me boss?

I didn't come here
to play games.

I wanna stay in business.

When do you really
open up the town?

Wild and wooly Wichita!

Like it used to be.

Not yet.
Maybe soon.

Dolgren's your man, isn't he?

I'm not talking yet.

I want to go swimming in this!

I'd fill a bathtub
for you, sweetheart.

You just say the word.

It's Pete Dolgren.

Somebody shot him.

That's too bad.

You better drink
your champagne, Kate.

Oh, listen, Keeno,

I came here to talk business.

Dolgren was your man, wasn't he?

You want to know. The
whole town wants to know.

We'll tell you
when the time comes.

But no freeze-out.

You got no worries.
Take it easy.

You're one of us.

There'll be a man
around to collect.

Naturally.

Drink up, Kate.
Ha ha!

♪

How is he, Doc?

Pete was shot in the back
by a left-handed man.

When will Dolgren be
able to tell us who shot him?

Don't be an idiot.

Pete never knew what hit him.

The fellow snuck up behind him.

Questioning Pete
won't do any good.

Pete's dead.

I'm sorry, Wyatt.

It's kinda rough when a man
has to die to clear himself.

You tell Mayor Hope...

That I want Sam Renfro
named as acting marshal.

Yeah.
Sure, I'll tell him.

Who is it?
Wyatt.

Sit down.
No.

You hear about Pete?

I was with Keeno
when it happened.

Who do you think killed him?
I wish I knew.

If they find out
I'm mixed up in all of this,

they'll come gunning for me.

Wyatt, I'm scared.

What did Keeno say
when Pete was killed?

Just that it was
"too bad."

Will you put on your guns?

Yeah.

Stay here.

I'll try and keep you
from harm, you know that.

Wyatt, it was Sam Renfro.

What makes you say that?

I can add two and two.

Keeno wouldn't deal
until Pete was killed.

Now he says a man will be around
to collect from me every week.

I'm gonna get my guns.
I'll be right back.

You stay close to Mildred.

Thanks, Wyatt.
I'll send her right up.

♪

Hey, Ted! You and Joe
come in here

and help me clean up
this mess of paper.

Ted? You hear me?

Sam, Keeno said someone talked.

He wouldn't say who,
but word's around

Earp's gone for his guns.

Tell Keno I'll be right down.

Yes, sir.

♪

Who is it?

Sam Renfro.
Open up.

Give it to me straight.
Who knows about me?

Wait a minute, Sam.
Who you pushing around?

I said give it to me straight.

Who'd you talk to?

Only Kate! But she agreed
today! She's good people!

Good people! She's one of
Wyatt's best friends, you fool!

♪

If that man's
coming to shoot us,

why don't we run out of here?

It's only been a few minutes.
Wyatt will come.

Yes, but what if Mr. Earp
don't get here first? What then?

That's him.
It ain't Mr. Earp.

Don't you go to
that door, please!

Wyatt?
Yes.

Sam just killed Keeno Magee.

I think he's on his way
over here.

Oh, good Lord!

You clear out, Mildred.
He's not after you.

No, sir.
I stay with Miss Kate.

All right.

Then you get over
against that wall.

Miss Kate,

when he comes,
you open the door,

then you plant yourself
against that wall.

Now remember, keep back
against the wall.

Shh!

Who is it?

Marshal Renfro, Miss Kate.
Open up.

Yes, sir.

Hello, Sam.

You go for that gun,
I'll break both your arms.

That means the left one first...

just like you shot
Pete in the back.

You're not that good.

♪

And are you willing to state

that you dictated
this confession

and signed it of
your own free will?

You're charged with
the murder of Keeno Magee,

also the murder of Chief Deputy
Dolgren on the streets of Wichita.

You will be remanded to jail

and held there for trial.

Take him away.

Judge, I won't be safe in jail.

As soon as this
courtroom's cleared,

it's just a matter of time until
some mob breaks in here to get me.

I won't be safe, Judge.
He'll be safe, Your Honor!

No lynch mob's gonna get to him.

The other deputies
and I will see to that.

If I had wanted
to take his life,

I'd had taken it when he
tried to murder Miss Kate.

He's worried about a mob.

Well, I wonder if he's
also worried about the fact

that he blackened the
good name of a fellow worker

and then murdered him.

I wonder if he's
worried about the fact

that Miss Kate's still alive

and that he was stopped
before he could kill me.

No, Mr. Renfro.

There are other things
more important than mobs.

Oh, don't you worry.

I'm not gonna let
a lunch mob get you.

You can rest assured of that.

No. I want you to stand
before this court

and be legally tried
and sentenced to hang.

I've never asked
that penalty before,

but in the case of Sam Renfro,

I believe it to be
just and fair.

I thank Your Honor
for hearing me out.
