Earp closes down the all girl show run by Jeff Pruitt because the underpaid women are ripping off the customers. Pruitt challenges Earp to a fist fight but is unwilling to fight him when Earp's deputies are there. A competing troupe consisting of a couple and their daughter are putting on classic plays which are well attended but Pruitt salts the crowd with his own men to interrupt it trying to take the lead Robert Harlow captive to draw Earp into a trap. Due to the interrupted shows, the troupe is nearly broke but Earp takes in "donated" fines by the cowboys to help them fund a new play - A Tale of Two Cities. Earp is very agitated about not being able to protect the troupe. Earp learns about the trap but lets Harlow be taken and follows alone with his deputies coming from a different direction. Pruitt thinks his plan has worked until the deputies spring their own trap. Pruitt gets his wish as the red hot Earp removes his guns and pummels Pruitt with the threat to do the same to Pruitt's men.
