"Gambling prohibited."

That'’s a dirty deal.
You know that, don'’t ya, Luke?

Yeah. Yeah, I know it.

But if Mayor Webster
and his pals

think they'’re gonna
run me outta town
with ordinances,

they got a little
more thinking to do.

Made this one
just to ruin the Long Branch.

Without a good poker game,
we ain'’t gonna have
no business at all.

No gambling.
That'’s the law, Hank.
We'’re gonna observe it.

Law? Why, any saloon
owned by Webster'’s friends
can have a game if they want.

Luke, it'’s a law against you.

Well, we'’re not exactly
friends of Webster'’s, are we?

Or his county attorney.
You buy the boys
a drink, Hank.

I gotta figure out some way
to get the customers back
to the Long Branch.

♪ [ trumpet ]

Howdy, folks.
I'’m the Old Ranger.

Dodge City, Kansas,
was fabled in the Old West

as the roughest, toughest
cow town of the prairie.

But in time, it was tamed
by straight-shooting,

clear-thinking marshals
and lawmen.

For a while after that,
it was quite mild.

Now, in the year 1883,

trouble'’s brewing again
with a corrupt mayor in office.

Looks like they'’ll
have to call in...

Mr. Mayor.
County attorney.

[ men chattering ]

[ chattering ]

MAN:
Place your bets.

Well, it looks like
you'’ve got yourself
a few customers tonight, Ab.

Yeah, business
has picked up.

For some reason,
the Texas boys have passed up
the Long Branch for the Alamo.

I think maybe
they like the name.

Or perhaps
they find the Long Branch
a little dull these days.

You want my opinion?

Short will be through
in a week.

Well, seems
you'’re county attorney,
I respect your word.

And Dodge City
will be a better place
without that ex-gunslinger.

Well, you have
my word for it.

Yes, I'’m sure
our little ordinance

will take care
of friend Luke.

[ no audible dialogue ]

Miss Lovett,
I'’m Luke Short.

I'’ve heard of you.

The reformed Luke Short.

Well, it, uh, looks like
you'’re having
a little trouble here.

I came to Dodge
to give piano lessons,

but I'’m afraid people here
are more interested

in learning
to shoot straight.

That'’s the last of it,
Miss Lovett.

You'’ll have to get all the stuff
off the street before evening.

Well, what do you expect me
to do with it?

Now, ma'’am, that's your problem.
I was just told to evict you.

Guess you kind of gotta
expect that when you don'’t
pay your rent for six months.

Well, it--
it didn'’t exactly
come as a surprise.

What are you gonna do now?Wish I knew.

Well, don'’t you have a home
or a family or something?

In Kansas City, but...

Miss Lovett, I--

Could I...
lend you the money?

Thank you, Mr. Short,
but I can'’t accept charity.

I'’ve gotta earn my fare
back home.

But how?
What are you going to do?

Well, that'’s--
that'’s the problem, I suppose.

I can'’t do anything
except play the piano.

Doesn'’t sound very efficient,
does it?

No. No, it doesn'’t.

Now, Miss Lovett,
I think I have the solution to
all your problems, and mine too.

How would you like
to play the piano in my place?

You mean... in a saloon?

Well, I'’ll pay you more
than you can make
giving lessons.

Well, heaven help
the poor working girl
in a town like this, but...

Mr. Short,
you have just hired yourself
a piano player.

You said you'’d have Luke Short
out of Dodge within a week.

Well, it'’s been a week,
and he'’s still here.

What'’s more, during that week,
he'’s managed to ruin
my business.

He'’s just been lucky.Lucky!

It'’s that girl piano player
that'’s attracting
all our business.

Get yourself a piano player.

She'’ll bring the business
back to the Alamo.

I don'’t want
just any piano player.

I want that girl,
Lady Lovett.

She'’s the one
that'’s doing the business.

Offer her more money.I did.

She turned me down.

She has a silly sense of loyalty
to that tinhorn gambler.

Well...

there'’s always another way
to skin a cat, Mr. Mayor.

[ chuckling ]

[ door closes ]

"Ordinance number 83.

"No person is permitted
to have a dance hall

"in Dodge City,
or any other place,

"where lewd men
and women congregate

for the purpose of dancing."

What'’s this got
to do with it?

The next part
has the meaning.

"No saloonkeeper
is to keep, maintain,

"or allow in his,
or her, place of business

"any violin, piano,
or musical instrument,

"and must not permit them
to be used

"to the annoyance
or inconvenience
of any person.

Fine: $10 to $100."

Mayor Webster again.

Trying his dirtiest to get me
to break the law again.

What are you
gonna do about it?

If it'’s a law, it's a law.

[ chattering ]

[ chattering stops ]

[ murmuring ]

Sorry, Miss Lovett.
No music tonight.

No music?
Have I done anything wrong?

No, no, of course not.
It'’s not you.

The city council
passed an ordinance

prohibiting any music
in these places.

Just as I was starting
to get my debts paid.

You don'’t have to worry
about money, Miss Lovett.

I told you, Mr. Short.
I can'’t accept charity.

I'’m sorry to see you leave.

Been good for the Long Branch
having you here.

I understand.

If there'’s anything
I can do for you, I...

You'’ve been very kind.
Thank you.

I'’m sorry, Mr. Short,
but Mayor Webster offered
to rescind the ordinance,

but only if
I worked for him.

I wouldn'’t have
taken the job--I understand, Miss Lovett.

Well, it wouldn'’t
make any difference
if I didn'’t work here.

The ordinance is still in effect
against the Long Branch.

Webster!

You'’d like to see me, Short?

It'’s not really a pleasure.

I'’ve heard of some raw deals
in my time, Webster,

but this one'’s first prize.

Two sets of laws!

For two sets of people:
the decent citizens
and the jailbirds.

I think the law says,
"Persons of ill repute."

And remember,
you have a prison record.

That'’s all over and done with
a long time ago.

Leaves a bad smell, though.

That all you had
to tell me, Short?

Yeah. Yeah,
that'’s all for now.

But you haven'’t heard
the last of me...

or the Long Branch.

[ chattering ]

Yep, got himself
a whole "orchestry."
Oh, Luke ain'’t foolin'.

Should'’ve been here
a couple hours ago,
but the stage is late.

Is this Luke Short'’s place?

He'’s expecting you.

Sorry we'’re late,
but the stage had trouble.

Did you check in
at the hotel?

No, we came straight here.Fine.
I'’ll get word to Luke.

Fine. We'’ll start

Come on.

I'’m telling you
for the third time, Short.

I can'’t let
them prisoners out
without bail.

I'’m telling you
I wanna pay the bail.

I'’m just a turnkey.

I ain'’t got no authority
to take it.

Well, where are the people
with the authority?

Well, I guess they must
be around someplace.

Reckon you'’ll just
have to find '’em.

I wouldn'’t be surprised
if you couldn'’t find
any of them till morning.

What do you mean by that?

Well, just that they don'’t
want you to find '’em.

You can let loose
of me, Luke.

I ain'’t in on it.In on what?

Webster'’s gonna
get you outta Dodge
by hook or by crook.

'’Cause I'm competition.

He says you got a bad reputation
from way back.

From way back, that'’s right.
That'’s past history.

Gives him an excuse, anyhow,

to bring these ordinances
against ya.

Now, you bail them music-makers
outta jail,

and the sheriff'’ll clap 'em in
again tomorrow.

Webster'’ll see to that.

No two-bit mayor
or flunky sheriff

is gonna run me out of Dodge
now or ever.

I wouldn'’t try
any rough stuff, Luke.
Not with your record.

Oh, I wouldn'’t try
any rough stuff.

Not unless I have to.

[ door closes ]

Hey, Hartman.

Hartman!

[ men chattering ]

I guess y'’all heard
the shooting.
Now, if you wanna stay alive,

you better clear outta here.

I just shot Hartman.
Nobody'’s gonna believe
it was self-defense,

but I'’m staying here
and protecting myself,
and the Long Branch.

Now, you clear
outta here, Hank.

[ gunshot ]

[ gunshot ]

[ men chattering ] [ gunfire ]

Luke!

Luke Short!

What do you want?

All this gunning stuff
is foolish, Short.

A real mistake.

A lot of innocent people
might get hurt.

Now, Hartman'’s all right.

He'’s willing to forget
about the whole thing.

What about the shot
he took at me?

He thought you were
gunning for him,
that'’s all.

Now, all we want from you
is for you to put your guns down
before real trouble starts.

The only thing you'’re guilty of
is disturbing the peace.

But you pay your fine,
and everything
will be all right.

You have my word
on that, Short.

All right, I'’m coming out!

You'’re being smart
about this.

Now we'’ll go down
to the courthouse,
and you can pay your fine.

Oh, the, uh,
shooting'’s over.

You won'’t
be needing that.

What is this?

You'’re through, Short.

But I'’m gonna make you
a proposition.

You know, we could throw you
in jail and let you rot there.

But if you'’ll get out
of Dodge City,

we'’ll forget all about
the trouble you caused us.

What do you say?You can all go to the devil!

On second thought,
you don'’t have a choice.

The eastbound stage
leaves at noon.

See that he'’s
on it, Hartman.

All right, boys.
Let'’s get his things.

All right, Short,
get aboard.

And remember, stay aboard.

If you ever come back
to Dodge City again,
you'’ll wind up on Boot Hill,

take my word for it.

I'’ll remember,

and I'’ll remember you,Hartman.

[ stagecoach driver shouting ]

Well, Luke, I'’ve listened
to your story,

and I'’m inclined to agree
that you haven'’t had
an honest shake,

but I'’m powerless
to do anything about it.

Mike Sutton,
the county attorney,
has told me, on many occasions,

never to interfere
in Dodge City problems.

They like to take care
of their own affairs.

Looks like they'’ve taken care
of mine too.

Every nickel I have
is in the Long Branch.
I want it back.

What do you expect me
to do about it?

You promised Dodge
not to interfere.

Give me the same deal.
I think I can reinstate myself.

Well, Dodge is
in a muddle right now.

I'’d like to teach Mike Sutton
a lesson,

but I don'’t want any mess.

Governor, I promise you,
it'’ll all be nice and tidy.

All right, Luke.
You have my word.
I won'’t interfere.

Governor, from here on out,
you have all my votes.

But remember,
it'’s gotta be nice and tidy.

If you'’re thinking
of warning Mr. Short,

what'’ll it be?
Shooting or talking?

You can'’t do this, Short.

You can'’t move in
with your gunfighter friends
and take over Dodge.

I'’ll wire the governor.
He'’ll send troops.

We'’re not here
to take over Dodge.

And the governor'’s
not gonna interfere.

Your friend, Mike Sutton,
saw to that.

"Dodge can manage
its own affairs."

Well, that was before
anything like this happened.

I'’m gonna clear out of here.

What is it you want?

Very simple.
I want a fair deal.

I want as much right
as any other saloon owner
here in Dodge.

I'’ll call a council meeting.

Oh, that'’s nice of you.

Uh, these gentlemen here
will represent my interests.

Is there anything else
I can do for you, Mr. Short?

Yes. Yes, there is.

I want you
to fire an employee.

Fire-- Who?

The piano player.

I have a contract!Pay her off.

You heard what he said.

You'’re fired.

Seems like you need
a job again.

Well, you got one.

Because Luke Short believed
the police would harass him

once his friends left Dodge,

a committee was formed
to appoint new officers.

of what became known

as the Dodge City
Peace Commission.

are Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp,

Charlie Bassett,
Frank McLean, Neil Brown,

and all the rest of the men
who came to Luke Short'’s rescue.

of marshals, gamblers,
and gunfighters

ever assembled
