Translation of a plot summary written in 1988.
Wyatt Earp and his three brothers Virgil, Morgan and James bring cattle through a plain and decide to stop near Tombstone. James stands guard while the others go to town. When they come back, James is dead and the cattle has disappeared. Wyatt accepts the position of sheriff of Tombstone, a town where the one who gives the orders is the ex-dentist "Doc" Holiday and where the ones who own the cattle are the Clantons. A young woman named Clementine arrives in town looking for Holiday. Holiday sends her away, and says that if she won't go, he will. Wyatt tells the girl to stay and Doc decides to leave. But Wyatt finds a crucifix which belonged to James with Chihuahua, the singer in the Tombstone saloon. She says she received it from Doc. Wyatt goes after Doc, catches up with him and brings him back to town. When they arrive to Chihuahua's bedroom, she is with Billy Clanton, who hides outside. Wyatt and Doc enter and Doc swears to never having seen the crucifix before. Chihuahua eventually confesses to having received it from Billy Clanton. The latter hears it and shoots through the window, hitting Chihuahua. Wyatt shoots at Clanton while the latter tries to escape, and hits him. Wyatt sends his brother Virgil after Clanton. When Virgil gets to the Clanton ranch, Billy is dead and his father kills Virgil. Meanwhile, Doc has to extract the bullet from Chihuahua. The Clantons bring Virgil's body to town and say they will be waiting for Wyatt at the O.K. corral. Chihuahua does not resist and dies. Doc joins Wyatt and Morgan and they all head to the O.K. corral to face the Clantons. There a shooting occurs and Doc dies, as well as all the Clantons except the father. Wyatt refuses to kill him. Clementine decides to teach in the Tombstone school. Wyatt and Morgan leave to tell their father about what happened; Wyatt tells Clementine he will be back.
