Start buying Eureka mine stock.

As much as you can.

But our crops have been meager. Nearly all our savings are depleted.

Maverick.

I've been waiting for this.

Don't spoil the party. Keep on coming.

My son, put away thy weapon. Men, turn away thy wrath.

We must not use violence.

Side of you two boys on.

The lords, we hope.

Yeah. It's time for you to turn the other cheek.

I would rather give them the gold than see thee use violence.

Stop it.

In heaven's name, stop it.

A Warner Brothers television production.

My old pappy used to say there's nothing like a boat trip if you're going

someplace by water.

And as usual, pappy was right.

I was hoping the voyage from Sacramento to San Francisco would never end.

Not only was I holding all the aces and kings, but the queen of San Francisco's

social and financial circles as well.

And what had started as an innocent flirtation had developed into something

lot more than a shipboard romance.

500, gentlemen.

It is said one cannot gather honey without risking the sting of bees.

Three aces, Miss Jack.

I hope it suits you, Miss Jaggers.

It's a domestic made right here in California.

Really? You can't tell the difference, they say.

Excuse me.

Captain Owens.

This is Wilson, Captain.

You better get down to the engine room right away.

We're building up a head of steam and the safety valve is stuck.

Be right there.

You seem to be an exception to your accidental rule, Mr. Maverick.

What rule is that, sir?

He who is fortunate at cards is less fortunate at other endeavors.

Who is she?

Bill Jaggers.

I met her at the governor's mansion.

Incidentally, gentlemen, His Excellency is a fine poker player.

Cards. Three.

Two. And two for the dealer.

Her father is L .B. Jaggers.

Lay that hand right, Maverick, and you'll end up owning half of the state.

Is she traveling alone?

The gentleman at the bar works for her father as an engineer.

Believe me, he'd make a much better watchdog.

Yes, sir.

Too rich for my blood.

It's up to you, Mr. Chang.

Patience, my friend.

Patience.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

We're having trouble in the engine room.

Will you please go to your lifeboat stations as quickly as possible?

You heard the man. The boat is sinking.

The price a man will pay to satisfy his curiosity.

All right, lower away.

This is full, Mr. Chang.

It will be an honor to meet you again, sir.

It will be my pleasure, sir.

Do you swim as well as you play poker?

Let's hope we don't have to find out.

I'm happy to see thee has awakened.

Sure I have.

This isn't... Quite sure, Mr. Maverick.

I am Phoebe Albright.

My father and our neighbor, Mr. Carter, pulled thee from the river.

That's funny. I can't seem to remember.

Thee were unconscious.

We're of the Society of Friends.

Phoebe, there was a young lady with me and a gentleman.

They didn't... Mr. Mercer was the first one ashore.

Miss Jaggers lost some of the curl in her hair, but otherwise she's good as

Thank goodness.

I was afraid I hadn't saved her.

We didn't. She saved thee.

Eat this before it cools.

I'm afraid I'm not up to eating anything now, thanks.

Thee will eat what is placed before thee.

Yes, ma 'am.

Say, this is delicious.

Now they are making fun.

Oh, really?

This is as good as the breast of peacock they serve at the Palace Hotel.

That's in San Francisco, isn't it?

Papa has promised to take me there before I'm 21.

Good.

How far is the city from here?

Only 40 miles.

But the Palace of the Prince was only one mile from the home of Cinderella.

Mr. Maverick, would thee think it forward if I should write to let thee

when we were coming to the city?

We would need a friend to advise us.

After what you and your father have done for me, I'd be insulted if you didn't.

I knew they were broad -minded.

Miss Jaggers has made arrangements to continue thy journey by stage tomorrow

morning. But if they would get dressed now, we would have time to see the farm

before supper.

Phoebe, you have yourself a date.

It is worn out like a woman tired from mourning.

This earth has given us good crops.

Now it's up to us to give it a rest.

But if we do not plant the seed, how shall we live?

We have been praying for a miracle. Today, as we cast our lines in the

can they say it was not granted?

Excuse me, please. I'll be right back. I want to talk to Pop.

Take your time, Miss Albright.

You know, if I'd had my way, we'd be sleeping in San Francisco tonight.

That's one of your problems, Frank. You just don't know how to relax and enjoy

life. It's to his own, Maverick.

You know, I like to make my living by hard, honest work.

Please, Frank.

Phoebe, what is thy opinion of Mr.

Maverick?

Miss Jaggers admires him greatly. She has been pleading with him so hard to

her father's company. Mr. Mercer is becoming very jealous.

My opinion, Phoebe. Remember, it is most important to us.

I hesitate only because I don't wish to seem impulsive.

But I think he's gentle, gracious, polite, and sincerely grateful.

I'm convinced.

Now, if thee will give permission.

Tonight, I will put our problems in his hands.

Well, Miss Albright, you have a very nice farm here.

Are you sure I can't help you with the horses?

Why, Frank would be glad to help, wouldn't you, Frank?

Now, there's another reason that working for your father just doesn't appeal to

me.

Could it be that you just don't like the idea of working?

Touche.

Now, I've known many clock watchers in my time, including your friend Mercer.

I wouldn't trade places with any one of them.

Did you ever notice their faces drawn and dried up like an old prune?

You should see your face when you're betting into a pat hand.

Well, that's different.

Of course it is.

Poker's a game.

Games are for children.

Try it for a year, Bart. Six months.

Then if you want out... Even if I did consider it, and I won't.

What makes you so sure your father would offer me a job?

He respects my judgment.

And besides, he'll see you're as charming, clever, and ambitious as I

I'm not so sure ambitious is the right word.

You could be.

With a little shove.

Now don't you make the effort for me.

Why not?

I'm doing it strictly for myself.

Stop worrying. You'll love the investment business.

I thought your father owned an engineering firm.

He does.

And a railroad, mine, a couple of hotels.

Investment bankers get to own lots of things when they play the cards right.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Lots of things.

Come in.

Mr. Maverick?

Come in, Mr. Albright, please.

I have come to speak on a matter of great importance.

Oh? While out with Phoebe this afternoon, did they notice the bluffs,

hills that are a part of our land?

Yes, sir.

And did they mean what they said at supper?

And I quote, if I can ever do anything to repay your hospitality... Just tell

her.

Yes, I said it and I meant every word of it.

Well, we're going to let this do the hollering for us.

That's gold of the highest grade.

When the stream that crosses our land overflows and then recedes, we find this

along the banks.

Did you ever try to locate the original deposit?

Well, we think the Eureka, as we call it, is in the gravel bluffs we saw this

afternoon.

The good Lord has seen fit to grant us this bounty, but as yet he hasn't given

us the knowledge or the means necessary to extract the ore. That is why we... Do

you think that I could... I'm sorry, Mr. Albright, but I

don't know the first thing about mining.

Mr. Maverick, we are a simple people, and our knowledge of the world of

is very limited.

So, when thee arrived at a most opportune time, it seemed thee must have

sent in answer to our prayers.

Believe me, sir, if anyone was going to be sent in answer to a prayer, it would

never be a maverick.

How can thee be sure?

My friend, if thee will undertake this task, the prayers of many people will

ride on thy shoulders.

Many people?

Yes.

As the products of our land belong to God, so does the ore buried in it. Most

it will be used in his service to build hospitals and schools to do missionary

work. Please do not refuse us.

Take tons of equipment and probably thousands and thousands of dollars to

develop a mine.

Are they not acquainted with someone who has both machinery and money?

Yes, I guess I could talk to Miss Jagger's father about it. But I can't

guarantee that he'll be interested in developing a mine.

We have every confidence.

And in order to hasten thy progress, I shall have papers prepared, giving thee

the right to act in our name.

I certainly appreciate your trust in me, sir.

I hope you won't be disappointed.

Do you mind if I show this to him?

I wouldn't mind if he did not.

We'll start selling his stock short and keep selling it short until we break

him. But Mr. Jaggers, his company has a solid reputation.

Dan, start spreading rumors. Use that ugly word, mismanagement.

Come.

Be inventive now. See to it, man.

Yes, sir. All right.

What about that ore sample Maverick gave you? Did you get a report on the gold

content? It's rich, Loftus. Those farmers have no idea how rich.

Fine. Then we shouldn't have any problem purchasing their claim.

I don't count on it. I anticipated you. I had a long talk with Albright.

Ask him if he'd be willing to sell.

His answer was no, not at any price.

Well, that's a pretty broad statement for a dirt farmer to make.

Nevertheless, he meant it.

I know these farmers, Loftus. I know that before they give up their land,

leave that gold right where it is.

You told me they trust Maverick.

Sure, they'll do anything he says.

Adele's been after me a long time to take him into the firm.

Perhaps I should listen to my daughter more often, eh?

Stone!

Yes, sir?

Ride out to my place, tell my daughter I'll see Maverick tonight.

Does he play poker?

He thinks he does.

At the house, 8 .30.

Yes, sir.

He won't know it, but he's going to be our Judas goat.

Lead the Albright lambs to the slaughter.

You'd better slow down if you're going to play poker with Bart Maverick.

He always deposited in gravel bluffs. Thank you.

Hydraulic monitors could get it out. We all know what they cost.

And they're useless without a large supply of water.

There's a stream that flows through the Albright property.

It comes down from the mountains and enters the Sacramento River.

We'd still have to construct a dam to build up enough water pressure for the

monitors. That kind of engineering costs a fortune.

Bart, I'm afraid this operation is going to run far more than our company can

afford.

Don't worry, son.

I've raised money before from public funds. Hey, Frank?

I'll talk to you about it later.

Well, gentlemen, shall we get down to business?

Bart.

For luck.

Thank you.

Never saw a trout rise to the bait any faster.

luck next time, boys.

Good night, gentlemen.

And a most pleasant evening.

You played a game as if you'd been weaned on it.

Well, Pepe wouldn't let any of us Mavericks even deal before we could

Let me give you some advice, Maverick.

Miss Jaggers is bored, so she collects things.

Stray cats, dogs, even tin horn gamblers.

She keeps them around for laughs, nothing more.

Good night, Frank.

Good night, sir.

Good night, Frank.

Maverick, what if there were a game where the stakes were a thousand times

higher than we played for tonight?

Would you be interested?

Depends on how much it would cost me to buy in.

Nothing.

You'd have my backing.

The game's not too different from poker.

And with your gambling instinct, and knowledge of human nature, you'd be a

man in no time.

Does this game have any rules and a dealer?

It does.

But until you're familiar with them, I'll deal.

Fair enough?

Well, you have the deck, Mr. Jaggers.

That's right, son.

You know, I'm still curious.

Is it one of the sudden favors?

Yeah. You like money? So do I.

The Albright's mine.

Well, Mercer's report is very promising.

You let me handle this underwriting on the stock. I'll see to it you get the

commission on the sale and learn the investment business.

We'll make a team, boy, yes, sir, and money besides.

Why, your winning in the stock market will make what you pocketed here tonight

look like peanuts.

What do you say?

My nose bleeds about four figures.

Then buy some handkerchiefs, because you're going to need them.

They're bringing your carriage around.

Down!

What's wrong with you, you miserable bushwhacker?

One of the Yipsum boys.

Yipsum Tom?

Yeah, some of the members helped me build my railroad.

Claimed I fed them slop and cheated them out of their wages.

If it hadn't been for me, they'd have starved to death.

But ever since then, about once a year, they send one of their hatchet men to

split my skull.

Don't think you ought to report it to the police?

Why? What could they do against a tongue?

Well, just what do you know about the stock market, son?

It's my old pappy who always taught me, buy low and sell high.

Good advice.

But there's a lot more to it.

You'd better learn, especially since we're going to be forming a stock

corporation to finance your friend's mine.

Well, they signed over their power of attorney to me, but somehow I wish they

were right here themselves.

Send them a telegram. Let's not waste any time, boy. Let's get Eureka Mines up

on that board.

Good morning, Butler. Morning.

Meet my new associate, Bart Maverick. How do you do?

Mr. Butler here is a broker.

Knows as much about the market as I do.

Not quite.

For instance, I don't know why I meant land shares are dropping in price.

But in case you do, remember the new law.

When selling short, the shares must be delivered to the buyer within ten days.

I'll remember.

Maverick? Butler?

What does selling short mean?

Selling shares you don't hold at the market price.

But, uh, how?

When you don't have them to sell.

You ever bluff at poker?

Bet on values you aren't holding?

Now and then.

All right, then, let's say I've received inside information that Midland is

going to have a big financial loss.

So, instead of buying it at the market price, I start selling it.

But how can you sell it if you don't own it?

I have ten days to deliver the stock I've sold.

During those ten days, they...

News leaks out and the price drops.

So by the time you buy in, you do so at a much lower price than what you sold

the stock for.

You're getting it.

And the difference between nine and a half and six...

Oh, sorry.

Five. That your profit?

Right.

Mr. Jaggers, what would happen if your information was wrong?

If... Mint land went up.

Then I would have lost.

Ever sandbag at poker?

Only when I think I can get away with it.

Good afternoon, gentlemen.

Good afternoon, Adele. What did you learn today?

How to make a fortune.

Good.

How did he do, really?

Well enough to take the rest of the afternoon off. I know exactly how to

it. Well, see you in the morning, then. I'll be in very early. I won't.

Afternoon, Frank.

You know, Maverick's beginning to act as if he owned it, though.

He can't tell me she doesn't like him. Relax, Frank, relax.

At least until after he's sold all the Eureka mine shares.

After he sold it? Sure, let him make the commission on it.

After all, he's entitled to a little something for handing the Albright gold

mine over to us.

Yes, sir.

The Jaggers Company will be retained to construct and operate the mine.

Their fee shall be paid by the Eureka Corporation, 25 % of which shall be held

by the original owners of the gold -bearing land.

Meaning us, Papa? Yes.

A stock issue shall be floated at once to finance the corporation.

Well, that's it, Mr. Albright.

You better take a look at these, sir.

Oh, I don't understand these business things, Bart.

Does this arrangement satisfy thee?

It seems to be very equitable.

That's all I need to know.

There. Fine.

Fine. Congratulations, Mr. Albright. Thank you.

Oh, Bart, now can we go someplace exciting?

I know just the place, Phoebe. Come, Papa.

Have a good time.

Thank you, we will.

I don't get it.

You don't get what?

How you expect to get control of the company. You gave them 25 % of the

And the other 75 % will be bought up by all the little suckers who think they're

going to get rich overnight.

But there'll be no gold, and you'll see to that.

I don't want one grain taken out of the Eureka.

As the engineer, you'll delay construction.

Run the cost of labor and materials sky high.

That shouldn't be too difficult.

But, uh... Then what?

Then I'll start selling this stock short. Get the word out there never was

gold. That it was all a fool's dream.

That Maverick's Quaker friends are mismanaging the project.

The suckers will drop their shares like hot potatoes.

But Albright and his friends will still have 25%. They won't have after we

present them with our bills.

There won't be enough money in the treasury to cover our costs.

And we'll take over their stock in the bankruptcy court.

Okay, swell.

Well, it's an interesting place. Yes.

Mr. Maverick. Mr. Chang. What a pleasure.

I thought the river gods had claimed you.

Oh, may I present my friend, Mr. Lee Hong Chang, Miss Phoebe Albright, and

father, Mr. Albright. Pleasure, sir. Please know thee.

Oh, these are the people who pulled me from the river.

I shall forever be grateful.

To us? Why?

Mr. Maverick won a large sum of money from this humble business person.

If he had not lived...

I would never have the opportunity to recover it.

You have not given a poker.

Oh, no, just temporarily.

For the stock market.

For a moment, I thought you had turned your back on gambling.

The stock he's dealing with is not a gamble, is it?

Oh, no, Phoebe. The Eureka mine is a sure thing.

Eureka mine?

Yes, Mr. Albright and his neighbors own 25 % of the company.

Incidentally, Mr. Chang, if you would like to win some money for a change, I'd

suggest you buy all you can.

In return for such reliable information, may I suggest dinner?

Well, I'm afraid we only have time to see a few sights.

Well, please do not let me detain you.

Mr. Maverick, if you should ever wish to continue our game, you may reach me at

this Chang Import Company.

All right, Mr. Chang, thank you very much.

Good day, sir.

Eureka.

What's that, Eureka Martin?

You did a good job of promoting that stock part. The word's out all over

Eureka Mine shares should be bought up by noon.

Thanks, Mr. Jaggers.

About a month after the last share of stock was sold, the Eureka Mine was in

full operation.

Men and machines turned what was once a peaceful farmland into a roaring camp.

Great hydraulic monitors smashed tons of water into the gravel bluffs, and

mountains moved like they were toppled by a giant's hand.

Day after day, the machines assaulted the earth, turning it into mud and

it downstream in a torrent of black silk.

Here, sluice boxes waited to screen out the gold -bearing ore from the muddy

river.

Thank you, Joseph. That'll be all.

Well, I never thought I'd have to do the proposing, but if I must... Uh -uh.

Now, don't say something you're liable to be sorry for in a month or two.

No longer than that?

I'm not the marrying kind to do.

I thought you understood that.

I'm beginning to.

It's that starched little Quaker, isn't it?

Phoebe?

Now you're stretching my imagination.

Am I?

I heard how you fawned over her last week, but I ignored it because I thought

you'd get over it.

You received thousands of dollars commission on the sale of the Eureka

Don't you think you should remember who buttered your bread?

You pardon me, but if I leave now, I may be able to remember you without the

claws. Bart!

You've been giving out tips.

Well, now let me give you one.

Forget her, or you'll wind up just like they are, only worse, because you won't

have a field left to furrow.

But they will.

That's all they're going to have.

I just said that to frighten you.

Remember, if it hadn't been for me, you'd still be playing poker on a

About Phoebe and her father, how are they going to wind up?

I didn't mean that.

No.

You just make it up.

Bart, don't you understand?

You can have everything you've ever wanted.

Except a field of plow.

Forget them. Forget those farmers.

Tell me.

Bart, please.

No, I don't.

All right.

Daddy's going to freeze them out.

They won't get enough gold from those bluffs to fill a tooth.

I don't believe you.

You don't believe me?

They own 25 % of that company.

Your father can't freeze them out.

Do you want to bet on that, Mr. Tinhorn?

I hope you have a deck of cards left, because you're going to need them.

Gentlemen, 10 high straight.

Oh,

Bart, my boy. I thought you'd still be with... Looks like reckoning time.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

All right, now, what's got your blood running so sour?

Is it true you're planning to cheat those people out of their gold?

Cheat's a hard word, Maverick.

That's all I want to know.

Now, Bart, don't do anything you'll regret later on.

The only thing I'll regret is that you're not a few years younger.

That's my department, Frank. Now, hold on, Frank.

Now, that's good advice, Frank.

Why don't you stop there?

Because I don't want any fighting in my home.

But you get back up to the mine tonight.

The Maverick tries to interfere.

All right, start spreading the rumors.

The Eureka mine's a fraud. Fake. Never was any gold in it.

Bad news travels fast, but Jagger's rumors and lies broke every existing

record. Before I could say Li Hong Chang, the price of Eureka mine shares

falling faster than a barometer in a typhoon.

The stock was being dumped so fast, the board boy was getting writer's cramp.

I was getting a cramp, too, but it wasn't in my hand.

Is there a way to stop someone from selling short?

No, but it's possible to keep the price of the shares from dropping.

Oh.

Purchasing the shares, but it'll take money, a lot of money.

All right.

My commission money on the sale of the stock.

Start with that, and I'll try to get some more.

Phoebe, where's your father?

He's at the gold digging. He received a telegram.

Bart, what's wrong?

Have there been any traces of gold, Mr. Mercer? These things take time, sir.

I received this only an hour ago. The price of our stock has been dropping all

day. So why come to me?

But I thought thee might know the reason why.

Sorry, Mr. Albright, I couldn't even guess.

It's Bart.

Bart? Mr. Maverick, I was hoping they would come. The price of our stock is

falling. I know.

Jagger started selling short.

The stockholders are panicking.

Selling short?

Pete, slip!

What does it mean?

I don't have time to explain now, but we've got to stop him or you're going to

lose everything.

But it was thee that advised us to enter into the contract.

I know, but I was wrong. As wrong in thinking I could trust him as you were

thinking I was sent here to save you.

What shall we do, Bart?

Start buying Eureka mine stock.

As much as you can.

But our crops have been mingled. Nearly all our savings are depleted.

Don't spoil the party. Keep on coming.

My son, put away thy weapon. Men, turn away thy wrath.

He must not use violence.

Side of you two boys on.

The Lord's with hope.

Yeah. It's time for you to turn the other cheek.

I would rather give them the gold than see thee use violence.

Stop it.

In heaven's name, stop it.

The doctor was right.

The doctor?

He said thee had a hard head.

I hope this will make it feel better.

Forty thousand.

Where'd you get this, Phoebe?

My father, Mr. Carty, and the others have mortgaged their farms.

As soon as thee feels well enough, we shall take thee back to San Francisco to

fight Mr. Jaggers with his own fire.

This may not be enough.

Your people are liable to not only lose this, but their farms as well.

We have faith.

The same faith that saved Jonah from the belly of the whale.

Phoebe, we're dealing with man -eating sharks.

Bidding $6 a share for Eureka Mine.

$6 for Eureka Mine.

$6 for Eureka Mine, bidding $6.

Mr. Maverick, you need more money.

What? You must give me more money. The $40 ,000 is gone.

I just can't, Mr. Butler. There isn't any more money.

what I was doing all along.

We didn't stand a chance.

There's no hope.

I'd better take Phoebe back to the hotel.

I'm really terribly sorry, Mr. Albright.

We did what we could.

We're grateful for thy help.

Please, fellas.

Keep me hung up like this much longer.

You won't have to do anything else to me.

I do not feel it necessary to remind you of the countless ways a man may die.

Who is that?

Mr. Chang, what have I done to you?

Not to me.

To the Ipsen Tong, Mr. Maverick. By your manipulations, you have caused us to

lose a fortune.

Those manipulations, as you call them, weren't mine.

You deny you are employed by Loftus Jaggers?

Yes.

Well, I mean I was, but... Did he not instruct you to tell us that Eureka Mine

was a sure thing?

No.

Hoped you were merely a pawn of Mr.

Jagger's. If I was on Jagger's side, then tell me why I tried to push the

of Eureka stock back up today.

We have no proof that you're dead.

Well, I have.

Right there in my wallet.

Those are buy orders for $40 ,000 worth of Eureka mine shares.

As long as Jaggers keeps on selling the stock short, the price will keep going

down.

Is there nothing we can do?

Yes, if you'd like to gamble.

But for mountain -high stakes, Mr. Chang.

And if we win?

You'll have beaten Jaggers with his own money, and he might even end up in jail.

A delightful thought, Mr.

Maverick.

Delightful.

My pappy used to say the most important thing to know about any gambling game is

when to quit.

But Jagger's pappy, if he ever had one, had neglected his son's education.

So he continued to sell, driving Eureka stocks so low no one would touch it with

a ten -foot pole.

Oh, no one, that is, but an anonymous sucker who, according to rumor, was

the stock to wallpaper his house with.

Morning. Ah, good morning, Mr. Maverick. We've missed you the past few days.

Thank you, Mr. Butler. That's very flattering.

Tell me, how long has it been since Mr. Jaggers started selling Eureka Mines?

Sure. Why, ten days exactly.

That's what I thought.

Has he delivered any of the shares he purchased?

No, not as yet, but he must by closing time today.

I know.

It's the law, isn't it?

That's right, the law.

Excuse me.

Morning, Mr. Jaggers. Mr. Jaggers.

Don't worry, Butler. I'll deliver the shares I owe by closing time. Just

I'd mention it. Start buying Eureka Mines. Offer them $3 a share. Yes, sir.

Buying Eureka Mines, gentlemen. Bidding $3 a share for Eureka Mines.

Buying Eureka Mines. Bidding $3 a share. $3, gentlemen.

We're bidding $3 a share for Eureka Mines, gentlemen. We'll pay $3 a share.

Why isn't he putting the new price in the car?

Because no one's selling at three.

Well, no one seems interested in selling at three.

So I'll offer him four.

Four dollars a share for Eureka Mine. We're bidding four dollars a share.

Four and a half.

Four and a half dollars a share bid for Eureka Mine.

What's the matter? Don't you want to make money?

All right.

dollars a share for eureka mines five and a half five and a half for eureka

mines six dollars six dollars for eureka mines well what's the matter with you

six dollars six and a half mr maverick if someone would sell the price of

would start up again and your friends could regain some of the money they've

lost i'm sorry mr butler but i don't know if anyone would be interested

In fact, I seriously doubt if there's any Eureka stock for sale at any price.

But if Mr. Jaggers isn't able to deliver the stock he sold to drive the price

down, he'll go to jail for fraud.

I know.

And if there's none for sale, not even a hundred shares?

Oh, not even one share.

$14 a share for Eureka Mines.

$16 a share.

$18 a share for Eureka Mines.

$20. I'll bid $20 a share for Eureka Mines.

Well, what's the matter with you?

What's the matter with them? Why won't they sell?

Mr. Jaggers, I must remind you, you have less than an hour and a half. It's 1

.30.

You scheming, underhanded sneak.

I taught you and you turned on me. While I was selling, you were buying.

That's right.

Now I have it all.

Every single share of Eureka mine. And if you're interested in staying out of

jail, you'll have to buy at my price.

No, sir, you backstabbing manipulator.

In that case, Mr.

Jaggers... Now, wait a minute. Hold on there.

I wouldn't be very happy in jail.

But don't you think I'm going to beg?

If it were up to me, you would.

Unfortunately for you, my friends don't believe in vengeance.

All right.

What are the terms?

First, I'll sell to you at $40 a share.

$40? Second, the Jagger's company will continue to operate the Eureka mine, but

only on a cost -plus basis. If the mine makes money, so will you. And if it

doesn't, I'm sorry.

Why, that's highway robbery. You know that, Maverick. Third, the Jagger's

company will be responsible for all and any debts thus far incurred by Eureka

mine.

Impossible, but I... Don't have a choice.

You know it, you card -playing bandit.

All right, come on. Now, sell me those shares.

I'm sorry, sir, but I can't.

What? Until I talk to the Albrights and their friends.

Friends? The Ipsung Tong and the other suckers, I believe you called them.

They have to approve the deal.

But there isn't time. I only have an hour.

They're waiting just outside the door.

Why, you low -down, miserable...

golly, Bart, you beat me.

Beat me at my own game.

My own game.

Bart, have we won? We've won.

Oh!

Well,

Zeth, we're finally going to get our schools, churches, and hospitals.

Ford once said, faith can move mountains.

Smooth as a handle on a gun, Maverick is the name.

Wild as a wind in Oregon, blowing up a canyon, easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell, fare thee well Annabelle.

Luck is a lady that he loves the best.

Nice to New Orleans,

living on Jackson Queens.
