Wyatt Earp : [Opening Narration] John P. Clum, Mayor of Tombstone and editor of one of its newspapers, paid in many ways for his support of Marshal Wyatt Earp and his courageous stand against Sheriff Behan and the outlaw faction. Present day newspapermen have little understanding of what it took to run an honest newspaper in Tombstone, Arizona in 1881. Powerful politicians were determined to ruin Clum, force him to sell his paper, and if these tactics failed - kill him.
