And teleplay written by the great Sam Peckinpaugh!
Loosely based on the historic figure of Johnny Ringo, who in appeared in various other movies and TV shows, also highly fictionalized.
Here he's played outstandingly by Myron Healy, and is written more like a cross between other fictional versions of the character and Doc Holiday.
This episode features important sequences in Tombstone (including a brief courtroom scene and a different neighboring Arizona town 9 miles away, as well as a key sequence in the desert).
A great little mini-Western, with gunfights, fist fights, chases, legal conflict, jurisdictional disputes, poker games, political conflict... And all in 25 minutes and 40 seconds! Take that present day Hollywood and TV (including Netflix and Amazon - although as of this later edit to my original review, Tombstone Territory is now available free on Amazon Prime for subscribers! Yay!) . Manoman, I miss the half hour drama format. Virtually a lost art form.
