With Ike looking to ship thousands of cattle in an illegal smuggling deal, Wyatt rides out to the Clanton farm to put a stop to the scheme. However, unwilling to accept Wyatt’s authority, the Clantons attempt to ambush him later that night, only to kill his younger brother James (Martin Milner) by mistake. Determined to put an end to the feud, the Earps and Holliday face off against Ike and his crew the next morning in a deadly battle outside the O.K. Corral.
