Law And Order is a 1932 film. The film starred Walter Brennan, Andy Devine, Russell Hopton, Walter Huston, and Russell Simpson.
The film retells the story of the OK Corral shootout in Tombstone, AZ. It is based on a novel by W. R. Burnett. Walter Huston plays the part of Wyatt Earp, alias Frame Johnson, and Russell Hopton plays his brother Luther Johnson. One of the best early westerns in its character development, Law and Order features a script by John Huston, Walter's soon to be famous son, and Tom Reed, who provided dialog for many movies in the 1930s and 1940s.
Traveling west, former peace officer Frame Johnson and his three friends arrive in Tombstone, a lawless town controlled by the three Northrup brothers. Preceded by his reputation, the town Council tries to get him to take the job of Marshal. He says he will not wear a badge again but seeing the ruthless Northrup murders he accepts. After a killing on both sides, although outnumbered, Johnson and his two remaing friends head to the OK Corral for a shoot out with the two remaining Northrups and their men.

The show follows a crime, ususally adapted from current headlines, from two separate vantage points. The first half of the show concentrates on the investigation of the crime by the police, the second half follows the prosecution of the crime in court. Written by Mike Menditto
In New York City, when a crime is committed, the victims are represented by two distinct yet forever intertwined forces. There's the police department, represented here by the 27th precinct Homicide Detectives. Theres Senior Homicide Detective Edward Green (Jesse L. Martin) and his partner Detective Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) who both report to their boss Lieutenant Anita Van Buren (S. Epatha Merkerson). It is their job to investigate the crime, collect evidence, interview witnesses and then, when the evidence points to a suspect or suspects, place the suspect(s) under arrest. The matter is then taken over by the prosecutors of the Manhatten District Attorney's office, Executive Assistant District Attorney Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) with support from his assistant prosecutor Connie Rubirosa (Alana De La Garza) who work under the watchful eye of Manhatten District Attorney John James McCoy (Sam Waterston), together they discuss deals, prepare the witnesses and evidence and conduct the people's case in the trial. Both teams work with the Medical Examiners Office, Crime Lab and Police and District Attorney psychiatrists. Matters are rarely resolved easily, or for the people involved, satisfactorily. Crimes are committed which frequently create public unrest and controversy, race, morals and beliefs are frequently challenged and manipulated, the guilty can go unpunished and the innocent ruined forever. The detectives and prosecutors are weary, cynical, flawed, human and vulnerable. And yet they are somehow still dedicated to their jobs, to make the guilty answer for their crimes and gain some sense of justice for the victim and the victim's family. These are their stories...
