Synopsis
Future legends of the Old West, lawmen Charlie Bassett, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and Bill Tilghman patrolled the unruly streets of Dodge City, Kansas, when the town was known as the wickedest little city in America. When a cattle baron fled town after shooting a popular saloon singer named Dora Hand, the four men--all experts with a gun who knew the harsh, desert-like surrounding terrain--hunted him down like Thunder Over the Prairie. The posse's ride across the desolate landscape to seek justice influenced the men's friendship, their careers, and their feelings about the justice system. This account of that event is a fast-paced glimpse into the Old West that was.
