Well, Chris. That's the assignment.

Sam, colonel.

A routine shipment from the Denver Bank

down to Cannon City.

We'll $50,000 is a lot of money.

Alright, Chris, here's your identification.

Leave at once.

Sam, colonel.

Well, I always get you Colt boys mixed up.

Well, good luck, um..

...Colt.

Thank you, sir.

A Warner Bros. television production.

Whoa !

We're gonna rest the horses about five or ten minutes

here, folks, why don't you get out and stretch your legs.

Thanks.

Allow me.

Alright, freeze !

'Don't any of you touch your gun.'

Now. What you got in that boot ?

- Nothing. - With a guard ?

Don't play jokes with me.

Well, look for yourself.

Must be inside then.

Alright, move back.

Come on. Stand back.

That's more like it.

Alright, go get them horses.

Take that bag and it's a federal offense.

We'll worry about that.

Let's go. Ha !

Well, he's dead.

Well, let's take a look at what you got.

'Why, he's just a kid.'

'Can't be a day over 18.'

Well, you ain't to blame, Colt. You had no way of knowing.

Yeah, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

Well, we best get him into town.

- He may have a family. - Sure.

What're you gonna do ?

Pick up a horse there and get after

the one that took the money.

You can't follow a trail in those rocks.

I'm afraid that's no excuse.

Wait a minute, the horses.

Well, what about 'em ?

Well, I notice the brand, a G Bar.

G Bar ?

Seems I've heard of such a brand.

Over west somewhere.

Near Gunnison.

Thanks, I'll find it.

Hello, the ranch.

Anyone here ?

Why the gun ?

What're you doing sneaking around here ?

"Look at this. Who broke in that ?"

I dunno, Ed, I've never seen him before.

Outside.

The horse belongs to me.

Well, who are you ?

He's just a no good prowler.

I cornered him inside and he pulled a gun on me.

- How about that. - He's mistaken.

The name's Colt, ma'am.

Sam Colt Jr. I'm looking for a job.

Well, you won't find a job snooping around

inside the bunk house.

I thought I heard someone in there when I rode up.

Um, everybody's out at the fall gather

Ed and I just came in for fresh horses.

The G Bar is shorthanded.

Well, then maybe you can use an extra hand.

'We don't need no snooping saddle tramps.'

Well, he don't hardly look like that.

You heard me, Julie.

This man don't work on no crew I boss.

Well, I'm afraid that's it then.

Dade Wagner is my foreman

he has the final say in the hiring and firing.

I'm sorry.

It's alright, I'll be traveling.

It's... the busy season though.

You won't have any trouble finding another job.

- Ed, let's get the horses. - Yeah.

Look out for that ornery black jughead

he liked to run me down yesterday.

Well, Colt, or whatever your name is.

Now, you get off this ranch and stay off.

You know, I've got a feeling I've met you before.

You ever been around Cannon City ?

Not recent. Not get moving.

Practically gone.

Go on !

- You alright ? - Yeah, I'm fine.

- Can you make it ? - Sure.

Julie, you hurt ?

- Oh, I'm fine, Ed. - Just shook up, I think.

I oughta shoot that black devil.

Why ? He's got the makings of a good cow horse.

Properly trained.

Appears to me, you was real lucky

to have young Colt around handy.

I know. I don't know how to thank you.

Might try giving him that job he asked for.

That's done been settled.

Not anymore, Dade.

If you still want the job, Mr. Colt, it's yours.

It's the least I can do.

Thank you.

- I'd like to stay. - Alright.

If that's how it's gonna be.

Put your stuff in the bunk house.

Well, here we are.

Which bunk ?

Plenty empty ones.

This outfit's shorthanded as it is right now.

G Bar's having a rough time of it ?

Since War Gannon died. About six months ago.

- Julie's father ? - Yeah.

Been a great responsibility for a girl having to buckle down

and run an outfit like this.

That top bunk over mine ain't working.

Good enough.

Hey, what about Dade Wagner being in Cannon City ?

When did you think you see him over there ?

Oh, last week.

- Could have been mistaken. - Sure.

Nobody from this outfit was over in that direction.

Dade was repping for the G Bar with the round up

over on the San Miguel.

'You're sure ?'

Well, that's where the boss sent him.

What about your riding stock ?

You lost any horses ?

Sold or stolen ?

No, sir, we keep real close track of our stock.

Ain't nobody but G Bar, rides G Bar horses ever.

I see.

There's something behind all these questions.

Could be.

Well, see you later.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Couple of things you wanna get straight, Colt.

Number one is, I give the orders around here.

Suits me.

And number two is, the hand stay away from the main house

and Ms. Gannon. Understand ?

You're making yourself pretty clear.

That's good.

Well, what're you standing around here for

ain't you got nothing you can do ?

Sure. Just want to ask if I can use Sam Colt.

Be a big help getting them steers down off

of Dutchman's Flat.

No, I've got my own special job for, Mr. Colt.

Well, lead me to it.

Right this way.

This I gotta see.

There you are.

See this barn here is real dirty.

Why, them horse stalls in there

ain't been cleaned out in a coots age.

And, I think you're just the man for the job.

Thanks.

'Course if you don't like the job

you can always quit.

Dade Wagner, you beat anything I ever saw.

Keep out of this.

Short handed as we are, we get a new man

and you put him in the barn. What kinda foreman are you ?

I've got just about enough of you, old man.

"Course I know what's wrong."

You think Julie's taken a shinning to this fellow.

Wagner !

You've been asking for this.

You don't like the way I run G Bar ?

- What're you gonna do about it ? - Now, Dade, hold on...

You've been talking too much.

That's the way you notch your gun on an old man.

Maybe you'd like to try me ?

He ain't in on this, Dade.

Well, I'm waiting, mister.

Well, if you just have to show how hot you are with a gun

there's a way of doing it without one of us getting killed

how about it ?

- That's kids stuff. - Yeah, maybe.

Let's try it.

You take the one on the left.

Whenever you're ready.

Alright, Colt.

You proved your point with a gun.

But when I get ready to learn you a lesson

I won't bother with one.

Go right ahead.

Use anything you got.

Give me the fork.

I'm still foreman.

- Here let me help. - Oh, thank you.

It's for the fire in the living room.

Are you sure it's alright ?

I mean for me to go inside.

Well, of course it is, why not ?

- Well, if you say so. - Come on.

That oughta do it.

I, uh..

I hope you and Dade Wagner are getting along alright.

Well, sure. We have a working arrangement.

He gives the orders and I take 'em.

Well, you..

You mustn't mind Dade too much, he just..

Well, he makes a big thing out of being a foreman.

Well, something smells awful good.

I've got supper on the stove.

Well, be eating in about half an hour.

You mean, you do all the cooking for this outfit ?

Somebody has too.

And a man's share of the ranch work besides ?

Don't worry about me, I'm built like a horse.

Well, not that I noticed.

Well, even so it doesn't mean I'm not grateful

for an extra pair of hands and..

And yours look awfully good to me.

That's why I'm hoping very much

you'll wanna stay.

Why did you do that ?

A lonely man

learns never to waste an opportunity.

Maybe I know what it's like to be lonely too.

This is something more than loneliness.

I think you're right.

Maybe we're falling in love.

I suppose if it's going to happen, it happens, but..

Well, this happened sort of fast.

- 'Who's this ?' - 'My brothers.'

- Your brothers ? - Why yes.

This one's Marty, he's 18.

And this one's Cliff. Cliff will be 21 next month.

How come, how come I haven't seen them around ?

They're not here.

The took out some cattle a week before last

to sell at Leadville.

They should be back by now

I really don't understand why they're not.

Look, are you sure that they were together ?

Oh, they do everything together. You just can't separate them.

Oh, look, I'm sorry, I've got something on the stove.

Wait, wait just a minute.

No.

Julie..

I'd, I'd better get back out there.

Well, they might be getting to wonder.

Well, what are you up to ?

You ain't quitting ?

Kinda thought I was for a minute.

But I can't.

Ed..

...have you ever been faced with a job you hated ?

But you knew had to be done.

Colt..

...didn't I tell you to stay away from the main house

and Ms. Gannon.

Yep. I remember something like that.

It's time I learnt you that lesson.

Get up, get up.

Attaboy, Sam. Get him.

That's it. That's it.

Whammo ! That's a boy, Sam.

You get your gear packed.

Tomorrow you're moving out to the lion camp

Sparks Meadow.

I want every mile of fence checked

and mended by the time the snow flies.

Take it easy, Dade.

You ain't holding all the cards you thought you did.

You go up to Sparks Meadow with him.

Get you out of my hair for a while.

Here. Well, how's it going ?

Well, pretty good.

Funny thing.

I just saw a rider heading toward the ranch

I'd swear was Cliff Gannon.

Cliff Gannon ? Are you sure ?

'Well, pretty sure.'

But if it was Cliffy

what's he doing home without Marty.

'Now, where are you going ?'

And now, back to "Colt .45."

Marty, dead ?

Sister, there wasn't a thing I could do

there was three of them jumped us.

And you left your kid brother to die ?

Look, I was able to save the herd money anyway.

Julie, I did the best I could.

Now, honest that's the truth.

No, Cliff, nobody's blaming you.

- Cliff, what is it ? - What ?

It's him. It's that outlaw that killed Marty.

No..

Cliff, stop it. It's can't be the same man. It can't be.

I tell you, that's the man.

I had him banked form the start.

Dade, try circling behind him, I'll cover you.

Stop this. I'll go out and face him myself.

No, you can't.

Colt.

- Julie, I... - I just wanna hear one thing.

Did you kill my brother ?

- Yes. - There he admits it.

'I killed him in the course of duty.'

Julie, I'm a government agent.

That's a lie.

Here's my identification.

What does it mean.

It means your brothers held up a stage

and took the money shipment I was guarding.

'I got off a couple of shots, [..'

I killed Marty.

Cliff got away.

Julie, don't you believe it.

Look in his saddle bags, there should be

close to $50,000 in them.

No !

There's nothing in there.

Sis, we did it for the ranch.

I got in a poker game in Leadville

and lost every bit of that herd money.

- Cliff, no. - It's the truth.

Marty and me was just to ashamed

to come home empty handed.

Julie.

I'm sorry.

When I rode in here, I had no idea what it would lead too.

Like you said.

A lonely man can't pass up an opportunity.

Julie, please.

Unbuckle those guns, mister.

What are you thinking of.

What do you care what happens to him, after what he's done.

Maybe she care what happens to you, kid.

You return that money and get off with a light sentence.

If you get away with it this first time

there's no telling how you'll end up.

He's right. Let him have your gun.

I'll do nothing of the kind.

Cliff.

I'll use this... if I have too.

You'll turn me over to him, your own brother.

You'll do what you can for him ?

I will, I promise.

Take him then.

And you get out of my sight.

Alright, kid.

I'll take the money.

Hold it, Colt. I'll take it.

Never see that much money again, if I live to be a hundred.

Goodbye, Julie. Maybe..

Oh, I'd like to come back sometime.

I dunno, Sam, after this..

...how could things ever be the same.

Well, let's give it time.

Maybe someday.

Maybe.

- So long, Ed. - So long, Sam.

- Take good care of her. - I sure will.

And send the kid back when you can.

We're till shorthanded around here, you know.

Let's go.
