Sunset

Although the plot is mostly fiction, Wyatt Earp and Tom Mix were real-life friends. After Earp retired from law enforcement, he and his wife drifted around, eventually setting in Los Angeles, where he and Mix met. Mix tried to get Hollywood to produce a movie about Earp, but they weren't interested. Earp was hired as a technical consultant for movies starring Mix and William S. Hart. When Earp died in 1929, Mix and Hart were his pallbearers.

When Tom Mix chases down the Stagecoach after the driver is shot, the reins go through a "window" into the stagecoach so a stunt driver can control the team.

The final frame of the picture freezes, and the following text appears: "And this is how it really happened. Give or take a lie or two."
