Wyatt Earp

Ils étaient trois frères du nom de Earp : Morgan, Wyatt et Virgil. Ce dernier, marshall fédéral, devait arrêter deux hommes suspectés d'une attaque de diligence. Des malentendus font dégénérer l'opération, et s'ensuit un échange de tirs nourris : 30 coups de feu sont tirés en 30 secondes. Bilan : trois morts du côté des bandits Canton, et deux Earp blessés. Wyatt, celui des trois frères sorti indemne de la fusillade, se mue alors en justicier impitoyable pour venger ses frères…
