Doctor Caligari

When a toothache forces the Doctor to stop on Earth and look for a dentist he gets much more than a simple check up. In a case of mistaken identity he finds himself the target of the vengeance seeking Clanton brothers. The Doctor's companions in this one are Dodo and Steven. The setting is the American west back in the 1870's. The story is told by Doc Holliday on his deathbed and represents what really happened in the shootout at the OK Corral. Turns out the Doctor was involved in the gun fight and helped turn the tide. This story is a break from the more serious "save the world" missions the Doctor normally takes on and is instead a "just for fun" kind of story. I have no idea how historically accurate the story is (the "real" cast of course, not the Doctor's group), but I found the western heroes and villians colorful and the story was fun to read.
