Quotes 

• Wyatt Earp : [Opening Narration]  The relations between Marshal Earp and Old Man Clanton, who was the outlaw chieftain of southeastern Arizona, were marked by cold hostilities. But Wyatt dreaded the day when Clanton would reach the end of every outlaw's trail because he knew that leadership of Clanton's gang would pass to Curley Brocius and John Ringo - a bloodthirsty murderer and an alcoholic psychopath - or to the McLowery Brothers, another pair of deadly killers.

• Wyatt Earp : [Closing Narration]  The death of Old Man Clanton would not end the desperate struggle between Marshal Earp and the Clanton outlaws. Bad as he was, the old man had exercised a moderating influence. Wyatt knew that the command would now pass to Curley Brocius and John Ringo, more unrelenting and ambitious than Clanton's disappointing sons. The law could not reason with such men. So the law would be forced to speak with guns as the looming battle of the O.K. Corral dawned on Tombstone's grim horizon.
