Produced by Warner Bros.

From the entertainment capital of the world

Colt !

I'm Tom Rucker.

Deputy. Can I do something for you ?

- My name's Colt. - So ?

Well, I'm looking for a fella.

We got a lot of them here.

Fine. This one's name happens to be Johnny Tyler.

Tyler ?

Can't say I've ever heard of him.

No, that didn't ring a bell.

Well, if you get a jingle in the next day or so

I'll be around.

I hope that was an accident.

Well, I expect you do.

If it was, I'll take your apology.

And if it wasn't ?

I'll take a little out of your hide, Fargo.

You know me ?

Yes.

King hide Charlie and the rest of your rogues gallery.

Well, you seem to be pretty well acquainted around.

I read a Wanted poster or two in my day.

Alright, what's your business ?

My name's Colt. I'm a gun salesman

if it's alright with you.

Well, that's fine with me.

I'd just hate to think that you're with the law

or anything like that.

Well, why don't you just not think then ?

We've got a nice town here, Colt.

Fella gets in a little trouble, he can always come here

till things smooth out.

Sheriff's real understanding too for a price.

Now, he don't bother us, and to pay him back we see to it

that the town don't have no trouble.

So, that's how it is ?

Yeah, that's how it is.

- Hey, sheriff ? - Yeah ?

- Just a minute. - Yeah, but, sheriff...

Yeah, what is it, Tom ?

There's somebody birddogging you, Tyler.

'Name of Colt.'

How do you know ?

'Just talked to him.'

'Didn't say anything naturally.'

I don't like it, Chadwick.

I'll give you a thousand good American dollars...

I'll see you later, Tom.

I'll give you a thousand good American dollars

to be protected from things just like this...

You bought protection, you'll get protection.

You don't believe it ? Here. Here's your money back.

Alright, Chad, there's no offense

all the boys know you give them a fair shake.

Alright. But there's one thing more.

As long as you're in this town, you'll walk the line straight.

'You don't use your gun and you don't get in any fights.'

And you don't pick up a single dollar

not even if you find it lying in the streets

you understand ?

Sheriff, all I want is a little peace and quiet.

A little rest.

That you'll get.

- Dinner's on the table, papa. - 'I'll be right over, Lorie.'

Lorie, this is, Johnny Tyler

my daughter Lorie.

Hello.

Howdy, ma'am ?

You know, I used to have a cousin by the name or Lorie.

And he was a boy. His name was Lawrence.

Oh, mine's not Lawrence. It's Lorelei.

Lorelei.

It means siren. It comes from an old German legend.

Lorelei's singing lured all the old German sailors

under the rocks.

The only thing is I can't sing at all.

Well, you sure wouldn't have to sing for me, Lorie.

There is plenty of stew in the pot if you care to ask Mr. Tyler

to join us, papa.

Mr. Tyler has an engagement. Haven't you ?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess I have.

I will see you later, Lorie.

- Sheriff Chadwick ? - That's me.

I won't be needing you for a while, Tom.

Go grab a cup of coffee.

Alright, sure.

What can I do for you ?

I'm looking for a fella.

'Medium height, probably riding a brown horse.'

Seen anyone like that lately ?

- What did he do ? - Kill a friend of mine.

Well, no, I..

...I wish I'd known that last week.

- How's that ? - Well..

There was a young fellow around here

acted kind of suspicious.

Could have been your man.

'He, he brought some provisions in my store.'

Come to think of it, he, he did mention something about

someone being after him.

Why didn't you hold him ?

Man behaves hisself around here

I let them alone.

Well, that's a pretty easy-going attitude, sheriff.

'You probably let a killer go.'

Well, he didn't kill no one in my territory.

I thought it was the sheriff's duty to...

Don't you tell me about my duty.

I keep the peace in this town. That's all I know.

We ain't had a fuss around here since I can remember.

We don't like troublemakers.

'That goes for you as well as anyone else.'

Well, I mean to find Johnny Tyler

and when I do, I'll take you.

Well, maybe you could.

But like I said this town is running nice and smooth.

And I'd take it real unkindly if someone was to come along

and spoil it.

I'll remember.

"Tonight. Tonight. Tonight.

'Gala Box Social. Come one, come all."

You, see you're packing chicken ?

And chocolate cake and potato salad.

You know, I'm funny for a gun and a potato salad.

That isn't all I go for either.

Well, I can't stop you from bidding.

'Just remember the blue ribbon.'

How could I forget it ?

It just matches your eyes.

- 'Lorie.' - Yes ?

See if I left my tobacco in the back room, will ya ?

Alright, papa.

- Johnny. - Yeah ?

I agreed to protect you for a price

'you paid the price and you'll get the protection.'

'But my daughter doesn't go with the deal.'

Stay away from her.

Chadwick, I don't take orders from anybody.

Hello, Johnny.

Try it, I'll just soon take you in cold.

You're not taking anyone anywhere.

Not from here you aren't.

You a betting man, Tyler ?

I don't bet on cinches, not even with you.

Take a look.

'You see, I kinda like it around here'

'I figure on staying in this town for a while.'

Well, I've got a warrant and I aim to serve it.

No dice, mister. I'm the law around here.

The only law. You're not taking him.

Not you or anybody.

Well, this is a federal warrant, sheriff.

My army credentials.

'I'm not interested in your cooked up paper.'

I am to keep the peace around here

and if anybody is leaving, you are.

You'd back him before me ?

Even when you know he's a killer ?

That's your story, mister. I wasn't within a hundred yards

of that killer.

Will you prove it in court ?

I guess you don't hear so good.

Why don't you just kind of get on your horse and go ?

And leave this friendly town ?

Unh-unh.

Alright. But you behave yourself, Mr. Colt

and nobody will bother you.

Just don't get out alive.

Thanks, sheriff. You stood up right well there.

A bargain's a bargain.

Bargain ?

Did that man really have a warrant ?

Oh, Lorie, don't you bother your pretty little head

about such things...

Was he telling the truth ?

Did you kill a man ?

Well, that's just plain silly, Lorie.

You know I wouldn't kill anybody.

Is that the truth so help you God ?

So help me.

Alright, no, Lorie, you run along and get your party dress

fixed up for tonight.

- Alright. - Thank you.

- Tyler.. - Yeah ?

I think you've worn your welcome out around here

you better be moving along.

You wait a minute, Chadwick

I wasn't chasing your daughter, I just...

Lorelei's not the matter. I'm talking about Colt.

- You never told me he was army. - So what ?

So, it's one thing to protect you from the sheriffs

and the bounty hunters. The army's still another thing.

Colt leaves here and spreads the word

there won't be any protection for anyone.

Your friends in town won't like it and they might not be

as nice as I am about getting rid of you.

You've forgotten that I've paid you protection.

And I gave it to you.

You got more than your money's worth just now.

So, you better be on your horse the first thing in the morning.

That's final.

You know a man can get killed coming in to a room like that ?

Oh, not in this town. It's against the law.

Who are you ? What do you want ?

The call me Fargo Kid. I want to talk business.

Fargo Kid ?

You know I've heard about you.

- What are you doing here ? - Same as you.

Laying low for a price.

- Thousand dollars ? - That's right.

Do you know, Sheriff Chadwick

must be pretty rich.

Yeah. Yeah.

I was thinking there must be gonna be quite a burden.

I mean, carrying around all that money like that ?

Well, that's the point I was getting to.

You see, I know where he keeps all that money.

Where does he keep all that money ?

In a safe. Back of the store where he lives.

You figured it's a two-men job,

I've been waiting a month for the right man to come along.

And, that's me ?

I heard about you too.

Oh, going the doings tonight ?

- What doing ? - 'Big Box Social.'

Oh, you mean where the girl makes a box lunch

and then the fella who buys it gets to eat with a girl ?

That's right. Kind of like buying a pig in the poke.

Um, no criticism of our womenfolk intended

do you understand ?

Not at all.

Might take it in it then.

Oh, evening, Tom. Anything I can do for you ?

Just thought I'd drop by to see what color ribbon Ms. Lorie

is gonna use on her box supper.

Oh.

Oh, come on, Lorie, I'm not gonna know which one

to bid on if I don't know the color.

Oh, alright.

'It's red. Bright red.'

Much obliged.

Mighty peculiar shade of red.

And now back to "Colt .45.."

- Having a good time, deputy ? - Yeah. Fine.

Hey..

I thought I warned you about this, Tyler.

I don't want you hanging around with Lorelei.

Now, papa, I'm a big grown-up...

No, you're not yet. Your father's right.

Look, sheriff, can I help it, I was hungry

and I bid on with those box supper. I didn't know

That's a little too much for me to swallow.

'Sit down, papa. We'll have a double date.'

Well, I'll take you word for it this once.

By the way how is sweet charity ?

Well, we meet over $400.

That's a great deal of money leaving lying around.

It won't be.

As soon as this thing's over, it goes in my say.

'Well, I best be getting back.'

You, better come along, Lorelei.

Why ?

They'll be needing you at the entertainment committee.

Now, come along.

You, you heard what Chadwick said ?

He's opening the safe tonight.

When he opens that safe, we're gonna be there.

Sheriff.

You go on ahead.

What's on your mind, Tom ?

I'd like to talk to you for a minute.

- Alright. What is it ? - I'm getting out.

You mean that just because of a mix up in a box social

you're gonna...

It goes a lot deeper than that, sheriff.

- What that ? - 'I don't like the set up here.

Getting sicker of it every day.

Can't go along with protecting killers anymore.

Well, Tom, you knew what you were walking in to

when I hired you.

- A man can change. - Now, look, Tom..

There are two side to every coin.

Sure, I left these men stay around here

but don't you forget they're paying me back

by behaving themselves.

And seeing that everyone else does likewise.

I've made up my mind.

So, all of a sudden you've sprouted

a set of white wings ?

Well, you can get your gear together and get out anytime.

Colt.

The fella's getting on my nerves.

That's what he's trying to do.

Mighty hungry, isn't she ?

You want something ?

I got everything I want.

No, you don't.

What's more, from now on I want you to stay away from Ms. Lorie.

Why don't you make me ?

I'll give you the count of three.

One, two..

That's enough.

Look, this doesn't concern you.

That will be all, Colt.

Oh, he said this was a friendly town.

Nobody sent for you.

You know, I'm getting real fond of the idea of you going.

I came to do something. I aim to stay till I do it.

Just watch out you don't stay here till you're dead.

Come in.

Hello.

Came by to say thanks for tonight.

- Forget it. Sit down ? - No, thanks.

I've said what I came to say.

Thank you, Johnny. I had a wonderful time.

So, did I, Lorie.

Of course we couldn't do without some of that company.

I'm glad I didn't see the fight.

You've got quite a temper, Johnny.

Oh, I'm not so bad when you get to know me.

I wonder when that will be if ever.

Soon I hope.

That doesn't mean anything.

Lorelei.

They named her right.

I guess I better go in.

Oh, let me get this for you.

Oh..

- Here it is. - Thank you.

- Goodnight, Lorie. - Goodnight.

- "'That you, papa ?" - Yep.

- How'd they do ? - $478.23 cents.

'Not counting a lead quarter and a couple of Mexican pesos.'

Alright, freeze, Chadwick.

Don't say a word.

Alright, Chadwick..

...go get me a nice, big..

- Get them up, Tyler. - Look out, Tom.

No !

Go get me a nice, big flower, son.

It's over here under the counter.

"Come on, come on, give me that sack.'

Dad.

Kid, get this wildcat off me.

Hold it.

Wait a minute, Colt.

I got a .45 right in the middle of her back.

'Unless you put that gun of yours away'

"'mine might go off and go boom."

"Come on !'

That's better.

It'll give me a lot of pleasure to drill you

right smack between the eyes.

I'd like to drag this up but I just haven't got time.

Get these men out of here.

You're going to be alright, papa. I know it.

Sure. I'll be alright.

'I'm too ornery to die.'

Besides I got some unfinished business with Tom here.

- Right, Tom ? - Right, sir.

- Funny thing, Colt. - What's that ?

Man lies down with dogs, he, he gets up with fleas.

I better go along with papa.

And you come too and have the doctor

look at that wound of yours.

'You've got an awful wallop.'

If you say so.

Tom.

I'm sorry about the ribbon.
