Doc Holliday (Stacy Keach) and Kate Elder (Faye Dunaway) spend time at the Continental Hotel in Tombstone to find Wyatt Earp (Harris Yulin), who is striving to become the town's new sheriff in the election campaign (he is already deputy marshall of Cochise County, Arizona). Along the way Doc Holliday met Virgil and Morgan Earp, two of Wyatt's brothers, and followed them to Tombstone to help his old time friend Wyatt. Once Wyatt becomes the sheriff, he and his friend face a fierce resistance from the "Cowboys" gathered around the Clanton family, who want to keep control of the town and don't accept his authority. The Cowboys were Ike Clanton (Michael Witney), Tom and Frank McClaury, and Billy Claiborne. Doc teaches The Kid (Denver John Collins) how to shoot a pistol. While waiting for the final confrontation between the Earp and Clanton clans, Doc Holliday's personality and life is also shown. So in a scene Doc travels in the desert on horseback with Kate and in a cave tells her he was a dentist. When the Civil War ended, he left Atlanta, Georgia and went to Richmond, Virginia and then to Baltimore, Maryland, to be a dentist. After some time he decided to go out to the West, looking for a drier environment to cure his tuberculosis. Doc suffers with terrible pains and goes to a Chinaman for herbs. At another point in the movie, he is taking laudanum. In the end, the showdown at the OK Corral takes place during a fiesta. John Behan (Richard Mckenzie), Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday all survive the gunfight. Ike Clanton, Tom and Frank McClaury, and Billy Claiborne all die. The interlopers beat the Cowboys.
