[MEN WHOOPING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

It ain't locked.

Hope I ain't disturbing you, Mr. Pike.

Close the door.

What I mean is, I got something here.

And I can't handle it myself.

I figured you'd be interested.

I'm only asking $20 for it.

The bounty is 500.

Put it on the bed.

And you won't have far to go to find your man.

He's just downstairs.

[COIN CLINKING]

This is only a dollar.

It's enough for a bottle of rummy.

Now, get out of here.

? Across this land ?

? So lonely ??

[CHUCKLING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

It looks like the musicians are going to take a break.

- Care to go outside? - All right.

[NARRATOR] The night, a momentary pause in the search.

But the night can be no friend for a man with no name,

no memory, no past.

For a man called Shenandoah.

Where did you learn to dance like that?

Do I have to tell you all my secrets?

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, it's pretty out here.

Sure is.

The air's sweet.

Let me see your ring.

That's beautiful. Where did you get it?

I don't know.

I only know I've had it as long as I can remember.

You're the strangest man I ever knew.

Why do you say that?

Well, you bring a girl out here in the moonlight

and then you don't even try to kiss her.

You're wrong.

But there's Murray and I think you promised him the next dance.

There you are.

I believe this dance is mine.

I was just coming to find you.

Excuse us.

Don't turn around.

Isn't there some mistake?

No mistake, friend. You're it.

[GUNSHOT]

[HORSES NEIGHING]

- What happened? - I don't know.

I heard this noise. What's wrong?

Fellow in the rig pulled a gun on me.

Well, why? What did he want?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Well, let's not break up the party.

Maude, you promised me this dance.

[CHUCKLING] Oh, sure!

I'll give you a good dance, come on.

Think you'll break my back.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Goodnight. It was a wonderful dance, wasn't it?

[HUMMING]

Aren't you going to tell me what it's all about?

Well, somebody stuck a gun in my ribs,

and when I objected they took a shot at me.

And you don't know why.

I can't even make a sensible guess.

Is that all you're gonna say?

That's all I'm gonna say.

[MAN] Naomi.

Well, it is getting late, I...

I guess I better go in.

I enjoyed the dance.

So did I.

Thank you for taking me.

- Naomi. - I was coming right in, Harve.

Well, I want to talk to Shenandoah alone.

- What about? - What's the matter, Harve?

Well...

I found this over behind the hotel.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

It's a pretty fair likeness.

I wonder when that was taken.

"Five hundred dollars reward.

Sheriff Jack Beal, Soldier's Mound, Texas."

Now, I know why you'd never talk about yourself.

Yeah.

Sure was a big surprise to me.

Makes you a pretty poor judge of character, doesn't it?

Yeah, that's right.

And I ought to know better after 20 years

of watching drifters come through this store.

Harve, that's not fair. You're making a judgment.

And you're not even letting him tell his side of it.

Well, I'm not stopping him.

Well, there is some explanation.

I mean, it is a mistake.

Isn't it?

If I get back from Soldier's Mound,

I'll explain it to you.

I promise you.

Here's that sandwich you asked for.

Thanks.

Miss Maude said, there's no charge.

You tell Miss Maude she's a nice lady,

and thanks for the trouble.

Thank you.

Well, good morning, Shenandoah.

Morning, Murray.

You're up early for Sunday morning.

Well, I got a long ride ahead of me.

- You're not leaving town? - Afraid so.

Well, not because of that silly business at the dance?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I'm sure somebody was just playing a trick.

Well, maybe so, but...

It's time I was moving on.

Well, I'm sorry.

Let us hear from you.

Keep in touch.

- And good luck to you. - Thanks.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[GUNFIRE]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

How far is it to Soldier's Mound?

It's about three miles back.

Just follow the railroad over the rise.

I see.

I used to have a friend in the town.

Fellow named Beal.

That'd be Jack Beal. He's a sheriff.

Much obliged.

Friend.

I think I'll go along with you.

I don't want to put you to any trouble.

Oh, be no trouble at all. Bounty hunting's my business.

You got a $500 reward on your head.

You turn yourself in, I lose out.

Do you mind telling me what I'm wanted for?

I wouldn't know that.

All I'm interested in is the money.

I'll say one thing for you though, you're, uh...

You're not easy to take.

You gave me one whale of a buggy ride.

Now, get off your horse.

Drop the gun belt.

That poster says, "Dead or alive."

It don't make a whole lot of difference which it is.

[COCKS GUN]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Hands high. High.

That's good.

Now, turn around.

[GRUNTS]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Sheriff Beal?

What can I do for you?

[SCOFFS]

Well, I wanted to check a poster.

Help yourself. There's a basket full of them on the safe.

And there's some more on the desk.

[KEYS JINGLING]

Did you find what you're looking for?

No.

Don't you recognize me?

What's your name?

I'm called Shenandoah.

That don't help much.

Take your hat off.

I never saw you before.

Then how do you explain this?

Bounty hunter's doing his best to collect the reward.

Where'd you get this?

New Mexico, town called Winona.

You got some enemies in Winona?

I don't think so, I hadn't been there very long.

Never had any trouble.

Think about it. I'd say, whoever had this printed

was trying to kill you without going out of the house.

Much obliged, sheriff.

How many of those things were put out?

- I don't know. - You better find out.

Every bounty hunter in the territory could be after you.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

There's no hurry for this, Naomi.

I'll send one of the boys over for it later.

Evening.

[EXHALES]

I never thought I'd see you again.

I promised you I'd come back and tell you about the poster.

Well, you, uh...

You really shouldn't be here, because I'm...

I'm engaged.

That was quick.

Who's the lucky man?

Someone I went with, before I met you.

I'm going to marry him.

Well, who is he? I'd like to congratulate him.

Well, we haven't made the announcement yet.

Be in next week's paper.

I see.

Well, I hope you'll be very happy.

Oh, for the record.

The poster was a fake.

Tell your brother, Harve.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

All right if I come in?

Shenandoah.

Where in the dickens did you come from?

Soldier's Mound.

Well, good to see you.

Working late on tomorrow's paper, huh?

Yeah, if I ever get it out.

You don't mind if I go on working, do you?

I got an item on the social page here

about you leaving us last week.

Oh?

You're running an item about Naomi too, aren't you?

Yeah, how'd you know?

She told me.

Who is she gonna marry?

Don't you know?

No, she just said it was somebody

that she'd gone with for a long time.

Well, why don't you leave it that way.

Did Harve tell you about the poster?

Yeah, I heard about that after you left town.

Did he tell you it was a fake?

It was put out by the man that Naomi's going to marry.

Clever way to get rid of a man.

[CLATTERING]

Shenandoah, that's terrible.

Uh...

Have you, have you thought about, uh...

About how he must have felt?

- Naomi's beau? - Yeah.

You ride into town.

Because you're a stranger, you're kind of mysterious.

You turn her head.

In my book, I'd call him a bad loser.

Well, maybe he was worried about Naomi.

Maybe he was afraid she'd get hurt.

Then why didn't he level with me?

I didn't know she was involved with anyone.

[DOOR OPENS] Boss. That gunman's back in town.

He's staked out at the livery stable.

- Godey, get out of here! - Oh. Sure, boss.

I'll come back and sweep out later.

How many places in town can make a poster like this?

You know full well this is the only print shop

within 50 miles.

And you had the picture.

It was taken of me the day I won

the saddle brawn contest at the fair.

That made it easy, didn't it?

You left town. Why didn't you stay away?

Because I want to know how many of these you printed.

Just one.

I recognized that bounty hunter.

I knew that was the way to get rid of you.

So I copied a wanted poster and sent it up to him.

Well, go on out there and tell him there's no reward.

Go on out there and tell him it's a phony.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[GUNSHOT]

It's all right.

He's wanted for murder.

Afraid you got the wrong man, mister.

[GUNSHOTS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

If the sheriff wants to talk to me, I'll be at the hotel.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Hi, brought one of your favorite sandwiches.

Well, that's very nice of you, Maude.

Know something?

You made an awful lot of friends here.

You're a nice lady.

Thanks, again.

Oh, you know who said if I saw you...

You didn't.

You tell her...

- Tell her I'd already left. - Okay.

Take good care of yourself.
