Bat returns to Dodge City to buy the Lone Star Saloon but faces reprisal from rival saloon owner Mike de Graff, who wants to see the Lone Star torn down; fed up with Dodge's shady businesses, Mayor Kelley decides to drive out the saloons entirely.

Mayor Kelley fires Earp for allowing Doc Holliday to go free after killing a man in self-defense, then appoints a new marshal who reveals his crooked nature by seeking protection fees from local saloons and killing one owner for not complying.

Rumors of large buffalo herds prompt Bat and a number of hunters to ride out in search of pelts; Earp learns about a roaming tribe of Apache hunters and heads out to warn Bat, but hostilities quickly break out between the groups.
