- Wyatt Earp: [Opening Narration] Marshal Wyatt Earp had to deal with the women of the frontier as well as the men. Most of the women he met in Dodge City were realists. They knew that life was rough and men were often violent. But the '70s were a sentimental decade in American history and Myra Malone was a sentimentalist. Dodge City called her 'the wicked widow' but it was her sentimentality, not her wickedness, which made her a deadly peril to Marshal Earp.
