Thank you.

You're Randall, aren't you?

Uh -huh. Sheriff Mike Strada.

Huh. I expected you sooner than this. I figured that $500 bounty money would get

you here pronto.

He's not here. Your road signs outside of town are all able backwards.

What? They're all mixed up. Took me four miles out of my direction.

Somebody told him I sent for help.

Who? This situation is more desperate than I figured. What situation?

I've heard about how you operate. We sure need a man like you.

Come on, we'll go down the back way. Hold on, Stratton. You've got me walking

around in the dark like a nine -year -old boy. You cut me in.

The women of Colorado.

They're wanted.

Alive.

You mean all of them?

Everyone in Coronado. Wives, sweethearts, sisters, daughters, all of

Except Millie Robbins.

Millie's the hostess here.

Only woman in town with common sense.

And respect for a man's rights.

All the rest of them walked out on us.

Why?

Well, they won't come back until we put these down.

No more gunplay. That's an ultimatum.

I never even wore one of these.

Tell my wife that I couldn't. They got some foolish idea that you can have real

law and order without guns.

That's women for you.

Women.

You cannot talk to them.

They won't listen to you. They just walk right out on us. Just like that.

Laughed at him.

We took it as a joke then.

Some joke.

I was only married a week before the strike.

Some marriage.

Easy, boy, easy.

My poor Alice.

Remember, she's in the enemy camp.

Yeah, but she's young.

Innocent, Sheriff.

She doesn't know what she's doing.

She's a woman.

Think of her as that.

That's the trouble I am.

We're the hardcore of resistance here, Randall. We're setting an example for

every man in the area.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Let me have a shot of that Skylark, huh?

Don't.

Why not?

Well, that's the worst thing you can do, Randall.

Drink makes you hungry.

We've all been through it. We've been eating our own cooking.

Terrible. Terrible.

It gives me the hardest.

My wife, Carvelita, is the best cook in the county.

Won the championship at the fair last year.

Oh, when I think of the wonderful dinner she cooked for me, I... All right, all

right, Jose.

A man is a man, remember?

All I can remember is the wonderful meals Carmelita used to cook for me.

I tell you, Mike, if we don't settle this soon, I... Wait a minute.

I'm the law in this town.

And if I have to put you in jail, you have to eat my cooking.

Put it away.

I haven't sold a drink in four days.

I'm going to go out of business.

Look, Walt, we're all suffering with you. But why should I suffer?

I ain't even married.

All right, Randall, it's up to you. You can handle it.

Well, you've got a reputation.

It's not in this kind of stuff I don't.

Well, all we want to do is stop all this foolishness and get our wives back in

the kitchen where they belong.

No, no. Don't think so. This isn't my cup of tea, you know.

We're offering you $500.

That's a lot of money, all right.

A job like this could take two weeks, two months.

No profit in it for me, understand, Mike?

All right, a week, and you get paid.

How's that?

Deal?

Okay, seven days, win, lose, or draw. Done.

Okay. Now, where are the women now?

All up in the town meeting hall, keeping house.

Ay, caramba.

That's terrible to pass their cooking time.

Do you ever come out?

Once a day, every afternoon.

A whole committee of them.

To buy food out of my store.

What do they talk about? Nothing.

Even my own wife don't talk to me.

They've been giving us the silent treatment ever since they walked out.

Imagine women keeping their mouths shut.

Next thing we know, they'll be asking for the right to vote.

Over my dead body?

The way things look, Simon, you'd better make out a will.

Kind of messy, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

There's more.

You'll see what I mean at four o 'clock.

But right now, there's a score to settle with one of them.

What's wrong, Mike?

One of you is a traitor.

Randall was sidetracked on his way here.

Someone switched the road sign.

One of you sold out.

One of you informed and let them know that Randall was coming.

Who, me?

I didn't say that.

But we all know your weakness, Jose.

Now, wait a minute, Mike.

Just because I enjoy food.

Just because I miss Carmelita's cooking. You couldn't hold out with the rest of

us, could you? You just couldn't wait.

I'm innocent.

I swear, Mike.

The only ones who knew I'd sent for Randall were you and the rest of us. So?

There was one more, Sheriff.

Me.

Remember?

Millie.

Millie, how could you?

I'm a woman.

In case you hadn't noticed.

Now you see what I mean.

What are they all wearing? Bitches. All of them.

Me.

They refuse to wear dresses till we put down our guns.

Pants. A thing like that could get to be the style.

a weekend, son.

But we'll win out yet.

Sure. And I'll be an old man by then.

The one in front.

She's the ringleader.

Yeah, troublemaker.

Whole thing was her idea.

You can always find one that'll ruin a good thing.

She's the one.

She always had a lot of crazy ideas in her head.

Yeah, she stirred up our women folks.

She got them to leave us. Got them to wear pants.

Uh, who is she?

Her name's Liz.

But Liz what?

Liz Strada, my daughter.

Don't bother being polite.

Don't bother.

I'm always polite to ladies.

Even if they are wearing bridges.

Religion or are you afraid of men in general?

I'm not afraid of any man.

Especially not a bounty hunter.

Uh -oh.

A man who hunts down other men for a living.

A man who uses a gun for that kind of thing.

I see your point.

If there weren't any guns, there wouldn't be any trouble.

Look, you might be right. I just think that you're going about it the wrong

I'll do my own thing, Mr.

Randall. Hey, now look.

If I can get a truce going on in this town, they'll pay me my money and I'll

on about my business.

There'll be no truce until we win.

Oh.

Kind of an unconditional surrender, huh?

Unconditional.

Our terms.

The key to the meeting house.

In exchange for every gun in Coronado.

You would have done better staying on that wrong road.

There's nothing you can say or do that will alter things in Coronado.

Kind of hard on your daddy, though, isn't it?

I can't help that.

Any more than I can help being a woman.

You don't act like a woman.

How would you know?

Imagine the kind you associate with.

The kind I associate with dress like women, act like women, talk like women.

They are women.

I'm sure.

I have ice water on their veins. They don't dress up like a spirit girl. I'm

trying to act like a man.

You don't know my daughter, Randall.

Well, that might be true.

And a minor retreat is not exactly a surrender.

Now, look, Strata, I'm going to have that key right in the palm of my hand

the weeks up here.

Well, maybe.

You know...

I remember Liz when she was a little girl.

I can see her now.

Big tails, little blue dress, face like an angel.

You know something, Randall?

She wasn't any different then.

Don't worry, he's gonna be all right.

Now, don't you be too sure.

She's as ornery as your mule. My whole family have been stubborn cusses all the

way back.

And Liz is a strata.

Come in.

An ultimatum from the women of Coronado.

Surrender in 24 hours.

or we leave town for good.

So near and yet so far.

What am I going to do?

Exactly what I told you. What if it doesn't work?

You're her husband. Now you act like one.

The whole town's counting on you. We get Alice on our side, the rest are going

to follow.

But what if Alice doesn't listen to me? She will.

But what if she won't?

Don't you worry. I know women.

You said you knew Liz, too.

I made one little mistake.

You stay here.

Ken.

Darling. Dear.

Miss me?

Terrible. You?

Awful.

We'll never be separated again.

Never. No matter what?

No matter what.

Taking advantage of a young, innocent girl.

She's his wife.

You're despicable.

You know something?

You're crazy.

Come along, Alice.

But Liz... It's a plot to use you to defeat our cause.

A conspiracy contrived by this.

This bounty hunter.

And he's just as guilty.

Let him deny it.

No.

It was only just a part of it, Alice.

Ken!

Oh, please, just listen.

How could you?

Alice, we... How could you?

You know something, Mr. Randall? You made another little mistake, didn't you?

need is a drink come

on it's on the house I need to practice

You hit him?

Yeah.

Kind of a point for our side, isn't it?

Yes, sir. You gotta have a gun these days.

You gotta have a gun.

Like the man says.

Gotta have a gun these days.

Come on.

What can I say?

I don't know.

You were right.

I was crazy.

I don't know about that, but the way you dress now kind of makes up for

everything, don't it?

I do, too.

You don't mind dancing with the man with spurs? I'd like to try it one time.

Let's go.

Everything straight now, Josh?

Yeah, by the way, Stretta said to say thanks a lot.

You all did a great job. Uh, Randall, we didn't do that job just for the

applause, you know.

Yeah,

I almost forgot.

Yeah, right there.

There you go.

Uh, there's a celebration going on over at Orange County. You'd like to ride on

over with us?

Yeah, I believe I will.
