• Wyatt Earp : [Opening Narration]  The famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral had its inception in the holdup of a Sandy Bob Stage. After the death of Old Man Clanton, Marshal Earp thought he saw another chance to split the Clanton outfit by tricking the outlaws into gunning each other down. Wyatt knew that if this failed, there would be a fight to the finish between the John Laws of Tombstone and the Clanton gunfighters.

• Wyatt Earp : [Closing Narration]  The forces of law and order in Tombstone were left with no choice but a showdown. A stable yard called the O.K. Corral would be the scene of the most famous gunfight in the history of the old west. Thirty four shots would be fired with deadly intent. It would take just thirty seconds to determine whether the Clanton outlaws were to run Arizona or whether Wyatt Earp's long struggle to uphold the law would continue.
