    #1 - Wyatt Earp Rides Shotgun

    Season 3 Episode 23

    Aired 2/18/1958

    There have been repeated attacks on the Wells, Fargo coaches running from Hays, Kansas to Dodge City. To Wyatt Earp, an old and trusted former employee, comes the request that he again ride shotgun over the line and thus put renewed confidence in those who shipped money by Wells, Fargo. But the order only served to bring out the guilty verdicts in renewed force, for they were anxious to get Earp, their greatest enemy in the state.

    #2 - Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (4)

    Season 6 Episode 36

    Aired 6/21/1961

    The long struggle for law and order in Arizona, which exploded in thirty seconds of deadly gunfire at the O.K. Corral, placed Wyatt Earp among the great Marshals of the Western Frontier. But that famous gunfight has been a matter of controversy ever since 1881. Witnesses from the outlaw element contradicted one another on so many vital points that no reputable historian has taken their version seriously. Marshal Wyatt Earp's story of the fight was told under oath and transcribed verbatim. This is Wyatt's testimony of what happened that bloody day in Tombstone . . .

    Aired 9/15/1959

    Wyatt Earp came to Tombstone as a land agent for the Earp Brothers, Inc. - voluntarily unarmed - and unwilling to heed the warnings of Doc Holliday, who maintained that Dodge City and its violence was mild in comparison to the lawless activities of Tombstone. Wyatt's encounters with Tombstone's silver miners and cowboys, and his narrow escapes from Death, bore out Doc's admonitions, and the revelation of Wyatt's true identity - while it temporarily saved him - only made him a better target for dangers to come.
