It's Captain Mason from the cavalry

post. Let him in. Be careful what you're

saying.

[Music]

Good evening, Captain. It's always a

great pleasure to welcome one of the

noble defenders of the Union. I know

that's a very pretty little speech

you're going to make, Mr. Haynes, but I

happen to know that everyone here is a

secessionist working for the Confederate

cause. My

credentials. Well, I'm very sorry, sir,

but we had no way of knowing that you

were a Confederate officer. Your uniform

is that of a fooled a lot of Yankees,

too. Well, if we can be of any service

to you, you can. We've got to do our

utmost to keep soldiers here from being

used as reinforcements for Grant's army.

I'm going to need men to help me. We'll

supply the

men and you can leave the rest to me.

[Music]

Big then it's up to your department to

do something about this situation in

Colorado. It's becoming intolerable.

Between the outlaws, the marauding

Indians, and now the Confederate

sympathizers, we're liable to be crowded

out alltogether. And we lose that

territory, we may lose Texas and all the

land as far as the Pacific. I think

there's a solution to the problem,

General. Yeah. All we have to do is to

send a half a dozen regiments of cavalry

to Colorado. Man alive. Don't you

realize these are crucial times?

Soldiers don't grow on trees. I don't

think it's a question of men, General.

What we need is just one man. A man who

can find out who's back of all this

recent trouble in Colorado. Once that's

done, things as good as settled. You've

got it all figured out, haven't you? And

now I suppose you're going to tell me

that you know just where I can find a

man like that. I believe I can. Who is

he? Lieutenant Jerry Burke of the

military intelligence. That name sounds

familiar. It auto. Twice you cited the

lieutenant in your orders of the day.

That's right. I'd like to talk to this

young man. I'll have him come

in. Bert, come in, please.

General, this is Lieutenant Burke.

The general has something to discuss

with you, Jerry. It ease, Burke.

Lieutenant, what do you know about this

trouble we're having in Colorado? Quite

a bit, sir. It's been part of my job to

cover all reports coming in from that

territory. That's one of the reasons I

recommend him, General. He knows more

about that affair than any of us. It's a

man-sized assignment, a sort of cleaning

up of a big territory. Think you can

handle it? I'd like to have a try at it,

sir. I'm going to give you a chance. You

will be given unequivocal authority for

anything you may do, and you will be

responsible to the commander-in-chief

alone. How soon can you start for

Colorado? I'll be ready within the hour,

sir. Goodbye, and good luck to you,

Lieutenant. Thank you, sir.

[Music]

Come on, hurry up, Gabby. Stage ain't

got all day, but I'm hurrying fast. I

can't either. Fine way to talk to a man

who fought and died for his country. Oh,

you poor man. Were you wounded in the

war? Was I wounded? Why I got so many

bullets in me at the battle of

Gettysburg? It's a mackerel. I'm still

alive. The way I heard it, you got hurt

falling off of that field kitchen cart

you were driving. Oh, why another no

field kitchen? There was a fire wagon.

That's what I mean it. Never mind what

you mean. Get those horses hitched here.

There's the army payroll. Take good care

of it. Yes, sir. Get in here. I'm over.

Come on.

[Music]

I'm transferring to the Denver stage.

Will I have time to get a cup of coffee

before it leaves? You have 10 minutes,

ma'am. That's it. Thanks. Will you

transfer my baggage for me, please?

Still afraid some woman's going to hook

you. Hey, Gabby. I'm joking. I get it.

Lieutenant Jerry,

I didn't expect to see you out west. I

thought you'd be back for the troop by

this time. Ah, they wouldn't take me

back after I come out of the hospital.

Said I didn't have enough teeth. What

are they doing now? Biting the enemy

instead of shooting them. Where are you

heading for? For the west. Little

business to tend to, you know. Farther

west you go, the more dangerous it gets.

How would you like to have somebody go

with you that can shoot straight and sit

a horse? You know, somebody to take care

of you like I did when we sold you

together. I know you'd be a lot of help

to me, Gabby, but Well, you wouldn't

have enough time to get your things

together before the stage pulls out.

What do you mean get my things together?

Anytime I button my coat, my trunks

packed. Hurry up, Tim. Time we were

rolling.

Yeah.

Hey, stop. Come back.

Stop. Hey,

how far west we heading, Jerry? To

Denver. That suits me fine. I don't know

no women there.

[Music]

Pull up driver.

[Music]

[Applause]

Anything wrong, ma'am? No, I just wanted

to catch the stage. You can take the

horses back now.

[Music]

All set,

driver. Do you always port stage coaches

like this, ma'am? Usually. This isn't

the safest place in the world to go

galloping across Cutway, young lady.

Well, if I'd missed this stage, I

wouldn't have been able to reach Denver

before Sunday. Something awfully

important must be taking you there. My

wedding. A

wedding? Wedding isn't worth risking

your neck for. It is to a woman. I never

see one yet wouldn't break her neck to

get herself a man.

Lana Sanford. By the way, are you in

relation to Henry Sanford, the editor of

the Denver Press? Well, yes. He's my

uncle. I'm going to live with him for a

while. Do you know him? Well, I'm on my

way there. He's just hired me to be his

housekeeper. Well, you must be the anime

he told me about. Oh, I'm so happy to

meet you. Now, I'll have at least one

woman friend in Denver. General, right?

You think I ought to get off at the next

stop? I ain't got no hankering to wake

up some morning and find myself married.

Take it easy, Py. I'll protect you.

Beautiful

city. Put the Hold up.

Everybody out. Keep your hands

[Music]

up. Cross over that army payroll.

[Music]

[Music]

I've seen you do better shooting than

that.

[Music]

Welcome to Denver, my dear. Thanks,

Uncle

Henry. John

Dela, darling, you don't know how I've

missed you. Seems like two years instead

of two months since you left Kansas

City. Only two years. Seems like 10 to

me. Oh,

what's the matter? It's It's nothing.

Oh, happy, darling. What do you think? I

can't think of anything except that in 3

days I'll be Mrs. Donald Mason.

[Applause]

There's a man waiting to see you in your

tent. Captain Mason, did he give his

name? No, sir. He just thought he'd

wait.

Hello, Jerry. Hello,

Don. I expected you'd be visiting me

tonight. You surprised to see me here? I

heard you changed your name, but I never

expected to see you wearing a blue

uniform.

You were always kind of warm towards the

south. Not warm enough to forget I'm a

northerner when it came to a showdown.

Have a drink? No thanks.

How's mother?

She's been dead nearly 3

years. She never got over your running

off after that trouble in Boston.

Well, that was a matter of honor. I had

to fight that duel and then I couldn't

stay and face a charge of murder.

Killing a gambler over a debt isn't

considered a duel.

There's another matter I want to discuss

with you. A stage coach holder. That's

it. Well, I had some debts that had to

be met. I was

desperate. Won't happen again. I wonder

if you'll ever change. Well, give me a

hand with this. Will you untie it? Take

it all.

You know, if you'd shot for my heart

instead of my arm, they'd be blowing

that bugle over me tonight. Maybe

you going to turn me in? No.

I guess there is something that I saw

about blood being thicker than water.

I've got something for you, Dom. Mother

wanted you to have it if I ever saw you

again.

Honor above everything. The men of our

family have always tried to live that

way, Don. All except you. I guess every

family has to have at least one black

sheep.

You know, Don, Miss Sanford thinks

you're about the finest man in the

world. And I'm just as much in love with

her. I mean that. Then of course you've

told her your name's not Mason. And she

knows nothing of my past, and I don't

consider it necessary to tell her. Then

you're not playing the game on the level

with her. I want you to mind your own

business. Where Llaya and I are

concerned. Do you

understand? You know the way back to

Denver.

All right,

Don. Watch your

step. Your pleasure, Jets. Highball.

Tall glass. No ice. Just a little might

of fish water. Keep a liquor out of it.

and fill it up with

sasparelli. Little snort, sir.

[Music]

Come on, Mac. I got to have a talk with

you in my office. What for? About

handing guns out to the Indians. Union

guns.

Who said so? I seen you myself a couple

hours ago at Big Creek Canyon. I suppose

next you'll be telling me you got

witnesses. I don't need no witnesses.

You better lay off that bottom before

you see pink elephants.

Never mind that, Mac. Let's go. Oh,

you're loco. Accus an Indian

commissioner of gun

running. But I'll with you.

[Music]

Hands up everybody.

[Music]

Too bad, Fred. I always knew you'd blow

up someday and let Joe have it. Well,

Andy, it looks like we're going to have

to elect a new sheriff. One who don't go

around accusing folks when they ain't

got any proof. I'll save you the trouble

of electing a new sheriff, gentleman, by

appointing one myself. Get rid of your

guns.

Well, you're taking on a lot for

yourself, young fell. Who are

you? You mind introducing me, Gabby?

The bearer Lieutenant Jerry Burke is a

government man and any galute messing

around with him is going to find out

that he's a shootingist fighting this.

Hold it, Gabby. That isn't what it

says. I can't read very well without

respect. You introduce him, sister.

Oh, sing it out loud. To whomsoever it

may concern in the name of the President

of the United States, be it known that

Lieutenant Jerry Burke is hereby

entrusted with these respective powers,

i.e. police,

military, quiet, signed Abraham Lincoln.

I guess that tells you plain enough who

he is. Whatever evidence the sheriff had

is just as dead as he is, Mr. Indian

Commissioner, I wouldn't crowd my luck

too far if I were you.

Come on, Gabby.

[Music]

Hello, Johnny Rip.

You've made a mistake. I'm Lieutenant

Franklin, US Army, attached to the 95th

Cavalry. Last time I saw you, you were

attached to the Confederate Army

Intelligence Headquarters in Atlanta,

Georgia. Your name is Lieutenant Morgan.

I got him, Gary.

Take him to the sheriff, Gabby.

[Music]

Open it.

[Music]

Good morning. Morning, ma'am. I want to

see your books and all your

correspondence.

By what authority? I'm a Pinkerton man.

We have nothing here for the Pinkerton

office. This league is interested only

in the unionist cause. I'm afraid I'll

have to be the judge of that.

[Music]

Did you lock up that Johnny Reb sheriff?

He's safe where he can't talk to us all.

Now, let's see all that correspondence.

Hey Derek, here's something. Looks like

mighty important evidence. What is it,

Gabby? Plans for a fort or something?

These papers sure are important. Where

patterns for address? Lieutenant Burke,

here's something. What is it? It's from

a Confederate office in Texas. Addressed

to Captain Mason. Captain Mason? That's

right. Let me see that. You see, it

details all the movement where the Rebs

will hide out in the daytime and just

how they'll get supplies to them. Just

as I thought. This place is a clearing

house for cessationist information. Take

him along with you, Sheriff. Come on,

Gabby. All right.

I know it's going to hurt, Miss Sanford.

But there's nothing I can do but submit

all the evidence to Colonel Gibbons.

Naturally, you mustn't suppress it.

Well, this is a fine. How do you do me

with the wedding cake already baked and

the chickens ready to go in the oven for

the wedding supper tomorrow? All men are

all alike that can't be trusted. None of

them. Always running around breaking

women's hearts. You just named me one

time and I made love to you. You've been

doing all the courting. What are you

talking about? You old apostle? Didn't

you give me an extra piece of pie for

supper last night? Yes. Just a minute.

Just a minute. I don't know how I'm

going to tell Lyla, Mr. Burke. I can

hardly believe it myself. Why? I've

known Captain Mason since. What can you

hardly believe, Uncle Henry?

What is it, Mr. Burke? There's a chance

that Captain Mason may be tried for

treason.

I suppose you have the evidence to

support such a statement.

I'm afraid I have.

I don't believe it. I'll find out for

myself. I'll see Captain

Mason. All this is very serious.

If true, it means court marshall and

death. Colonel Gibbons, unless I hear

the admission from Captain Mason's own

lips, I'll never believe it.

Naturally. Well, we'll know in a minute

or two.

Don, I don't believe that.

Lyla, what's what's the trouble?

Sir, how do you explain this letter?

This way. Stay where you are. All of

you. Listen, Lyla. Just believe in me

and wait for me, Jerry.

[Music]

How you doing?

[Music]

Take a detail and bring him in. Yes,

sir.

He called you by your first name. Why?

[Music]

There. There, Lala. Dear, now everything

is going to be all

right. I'm afraid it can't be enemy. D

meant everything in the world to me.

Well, you'll get over it just like you

did the measles and the hook and call.

Now, don't try, honey. He wasn't worth

it. No man is. I know. My man was a no

good, too. He gambled there. Now, dry

your

eyes. Well, you're not planning to

leave, are you? Yes. There's nothing

much to go back east to, but there's

still less reason for staying here.

Well, your uncle Henry wants you to

stay. He'll miss you if you go. And I

will too, sir. I You see, I never had a

chick of my

own. You've been awfully sweet to me,

Adam. And I do want to stay,

but I'm afraid I'm not big enough to

stand the people here pointing at me and

laughing at me. Well, if that's all

that's worrying you, you're staying.

Just let somebody try laughing at

you. Just let them try.

[Music]

It's one of our men.

I thought I'd find you gentlemen meeting

here tonight. What are you doing here,

Mason? What do you want? Just like to

talk over a little business with you,

that's all. We can have no business

dealings with a man accused of treason,

traitor to his country. Why don't you

stop that, judge? I know every move

you've made for a month, all of you. So,

quit bluffing and let's get down to

business. I don't know what you're

talking about. Oh, is that so? Well,

I'll explain it to you. Since I've been

serving the South, stirring up trouble,

you and your outfit have been cashing

in. If it's some money you want, Mason,

we'd be glad to advance you enough to

leave this part of the country. I don't

intend to leave this part of the

country, Mr. Carter. Too much money to

be picked up around here. Big money.

From now on, I'm going to get my share

of

it. So, you can either declare me in or

you'll have opposition. Plenty of You're

talking pretty big, Mason. I've got

enough men to back up my talk. Mounted

deserters. Plenty of them that'll join

up anytime I say the

word. Well, gentlemen, what are we going

to do? Cooperate or do we cut each

other's throats?

Well, since we can use you, I guess it

would be smarter if we did work

together. Down.

Now, your first job will be to stir up

trouble with the Indians. So, Colonel

Gibbons and his troops will have their

hands full, calling their raids.

Well, your idea is to start trouble all

over the territory. Right. Trouble which

we will finance. And when the country is

in a state of ruin, we'll take up the

big mines, the ranches, everything that

everything will be legal. The law will

take its course. But we'll do the

steering. His honor will say to that

justice will be done, gentlemen.

How does it sound to you, Mason? Fine. I

declare myself in for 20% of everything

we get. 20%.

It's a pretty big cut. You know, after

all, you're not investigating things.

I'll be doing all the work.

It's a deal, Mason. Just a little

friendly

advice. Don't get too ambitious.

You're the boss.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Something I can do for you, Burke? No, I

just dropped in for a little visit.

How's business? Pretty slow in the bar.

My delivery stable isn't doing much

better. How are things with you, Mike?

We're gradually getting the Indians

quieted down. You'd get them quieted

down a lot quicker if you'd stop them

from getting guns. How you going to stop

them? Any renegade white man will sell

an Indian a gun. Yeah, but they're not

getting guns one by one. They're getting

them by the dozens. Well, if you could

suggest any way to stop them, I'd be

glad to cooperate.

Mark from the telegraph office just

brought this. Andy,

don't let me interfere with you reading

that. We can always pick up where we

left off.

Another baby for that sister of mine.

That makes eight of them.

Now, Mlin, getting back to our problem.

Somebody's been bringing in guns. And

maybe you know that somebody. I'm only

the Indian commissioner, Burke. You may

not be the Indian commissioner much

longer.

Think it over, Max?

[Music]

Morning, Mr. Burke. Mind if I wait here

a minute? I'm expecting a message. Help

yourself. How you doing, Miss Sandra?

I'm fine, Mr. Burke. How are you? Did

you call me, Uncle Henry? Mind keeping

your eye on the office a few minutes,

Laya? I'll be right back. Did you enjoy

your ride this morning? Very much. I

don't think it was necessary for you to

have your men trail me. So, you found

out. I warned him not to let you know

you were being watched. I hope you don't

suspect me of anything. Well, that never

occurred to me. And why was I followed?

Well, this happens to be pretty

dangerous country right now, and I

figured you'd be much safer if somebody

was keeping an eye on you.

Well, I guess it takes more than one

lesson to teach some people that men are

no good. First thing she knows, she's

going to go through it all over again.

Don't you worry none about them two. No

matter how hard she tries, he's too

smart to let any woman rope Mog tie him.

He's like me. Who'd want you? Plenty of

women have tried to get me. There must

have been something wrong with them

mentally.

His Well, I ain't so old and I

got my health and strength, but I ain't

so bad looking. Do you ever look in the

mirror?

Hey, turn for schnikity women. Look,

here's a copy of that telegram, but it

don't make sense to

me. Aunt Sue unable to travel. Uncle Joe

arriving instead with a large shipment

of barley hay. I wonder why Aunt Sue

can't travel. Touch me. Who's Aunt Sue?

I wish I knew. Well, maybe the operator

made a mistake. Maybe it isn't barley

hay. I don't think the operator made a

mistake. I'm pretty sure that is barley

hay. Come on, sheriff. We've got work

ahead of us.

[Music]

Oh, late. This haywagon ain't no racing,

Sulki. Where's Jim Mlin? He's business

everywhere else, but he gave me the

money to pay you. Yeah, well, you better

start loading. I don't want to hang

around here any longer than I have to.

All right, you fellas.

What'd you bring this time, Weaver?

Sharks. Army issue.

[Music]

I'll take two of the men with me.

[Music]

Get down, Peter.

Don't buy anything. Everybody's covered.

Drop them. Get your hands up.

Hand over that money. What money? I

won't ask you again,

Weaver. Here's the evidence. Harkkins.

Gabby, find Mlin.

I saw you give him the $12,000. What do

you keep lying for?

And you don't even know where the money

came from. I don't know nothing. I told

you. All I did was deliver the stuff.

Who you working for? I ain't working for

nobody. You've been selling guns to

Mlin. He's been turning them over to the

Indians. Nice business you're in,

Weaver. You can't prove a

thing. There you're looking for me,

Burke. Yeah, you know Weaver over here,

don't you?

No, don't believe a do. Why? Well, it's

about time he did. You've been buying

guns from him. Unless you'd been proved

that, Burke. I wouldn't repeat it. Well,

I'll prove it. All right. In court.

Senator Wood appointed me Indian

Commissioner here. And if you think I

You're under arrest, Mlin. You haven't

any more jobs than the jack rat? Lock

him up,

sheriff. You're heading for a fall,

Burke. A big one.

[Music]

[Music]

What's the matter, Lana? It's Don Mason

and his men.

[Music]

Get away from you or you get hurt.

Enemy

enemy been hit. He can't

ride. I'll take care of him. Just be

sure he don't talk.

[Music]

Mlin never give me a chance. The dirty

skunk. He's afraid I'd talk. You could

have saved yourself all this if you'd

talked in the first place.

I'll talk now.

Him

and

Mason and Judge

Newton, gold crown

bunch,

rifles,

engines. I got my two deputies. Bring in

that gold crown outfit. We'll start

after Mason and Mlin as soon as it's

light enough to pick up a trail.

Man, pretty smart. No, two of them

headed the same way when they left here.

We'll pick up the trail again. We're

going to find Mason and Mlands. We have

to go through every town in this

territory with a fine tooth comb.

Leadville's nearest town. We'll head

there first.

Your plan sounds too dangerous, Lala.

Better wait till Mr. Burke gets back to

town. See what he has to say about it.

Jerry's been trailing Mason's men for a

week, and he still hasn't caught up with

him. My mind's made up, Uncle Henry.

Please don't try it, honey. If anything

were to happen to you, why I have to,

Adam, I don't hate Don Mason, but if

there's any way I can help stop this

thing, I'm going to try. You're asking

him to surrender. You think you've

listened to your appeal? Yes. I don't

think you'll contact me. If you do,

you're going to run into a lot of

trouble. I'm not afraid it's worth

trying.

[Music]

All right, Min. So, I'm

Loco. Just the same I'm going to see

her. I suppose it's a trap. I'll take a

chance. I'm going to have a little talk

with her. She's not going to make a fool

out of me.

[Music]

You shouldn't let the stage get so much

of a start, Sheriff. Maybe you're right,

but Miss Aladd wouldn't have gone

through with it if we hadn't promised

not to follow.

[Music]

[Music]

This is not a hold up. Everybody out

except Miss Sanford.

All right, get down.

[Music]

Get it, Roly.

The last time I saw you, I asked you to

wait. Didn't take you long to find

someone else to go to, did it, Don? I

wasn't going away. I planned this

meeting. I wanted to. And you're still

in love with her. That's what I wanted

to hear you say, Laya. We'll we'll leave

this part of the country tonight. We'll

go to Texas or California. I'll give you

everything you want. I know how to get

things. That's not what I want, Don.

Well, what do you want? I want you to

surrender, to give yourself up. Are you

crazy? I wouldn't stand a chance they'd

hang me. No, Don. I have the promise of

all the influential people in Denver.

What is it, Sam? Looks like Apos back.

Something fast.

That's nice work. You and Burke figured

that out. Pull up. No, Don. My only

problem. Have your breath. You've got a

tough ride ahead.

[Music]

Sam, you stay in the open and let that

possy follow you. I'll cut into the

hills. I get you.

[Music]

Then he slugged me and knocked me off

the stage. And I don't remember a thing

until the sheriff came along. Wonder

whose idea that was. Having a posy

trailing behind. Where'd it happen?

About 15 miles out near Table Mountain.

Get on your horses, Gabby. We're heading

for Table Mountain country.

[Applause]

[Music]

Something wrong? Ready? The Arapo are on

a raing party. What's your fool of them?

They're heading for

[Music]

Gilroy. Martin, you go with me. The rest

of you head for Gilroy with Gabby. Hey,

wait a minute. I'm going with you, ain't

you? You're needed with the boys. You

know all the engine tricks. Yeah, but I

want to get a couple of shots at that

Mason. I got a personal bone to pick

with him. We'll take care of Mason. Get

moving. I never won an argument with you

in my whole life. Get out of it.

[Music]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Get this one on a horse.

Sure. He'll take me if he can. Dead or

alive. and me. That's the same I'm going

to save his life. It's not too late.

This poison hasn't spread too much. And

after you pull him through, do you think

he'll kiss you for it?

This is my own particular worry.

[Applause]

He's still unconscious, Don. He'll pull

through. All right. He's got better than

an even chance. So have you. You've just

proven you can still do the right thing.

It'll probably be the last time I'll

ever be fool enough to do it.

Tell everybody we're getting out of

here. Pronto. Who said we're getting out

of here? I did. Why? Because I think

it's

best. Sam, I'll take part of the bunch

and circle east. You head for Durango

and wait for him there. A week to 10

days. Yes, you say it. And take Mlin

with you.

You better get back to Denver and get

some

help. Take good care of him, Lala.

And give him this

ring. He'll know

that. Adios.

Since when did you start giving orders

to me? Since right now. Now don't fool

yourself. I'm still boss around here.

Not anymore. I'm taking over. And from

now on, I'm taking the big end of what

we get. Do you think you can get away

with this? Shut up. When I threw in with

you, I thought you were an asset. But

you're a liability, and you'll take what

I offer you or nothing. I'll take what I

want.

[Music]

Dreaming alone in the

moonlight. When night falls on the

prairie. Hear a coyote call. Seal alone

starfall. Night

on the prairie.

Singing alone in the

moonlight the sage all silver

shadows while I'm humming low in my

campfire glow

dreaming of

you. Just my pit pal and I riding all

day. Riding the trail to

nowhere, ever

alone, never a home. And when the long,

long days done, I'm dreaming alone in

the moonlight.

When night falls on the

prairie, but my thoughts will stray ever

far away,

dreaming of you.

You are feeling better, aren't you?

Thanks to my nurse and EMA's cooking,

I'm almost as good as new. I'll be out

of here in a day or so. Oh, you lofty

junk head. Before I break down, tell you

what I think of

you. Them things you ordered, Eddie May.

Coffee, flower, and beans. Did you get

that pink embroidery thread?

I ain't kick none about sacheing back

and forth twixed here in Denver till

I've almost cut new road through. But if

you think I'm going into any store and

ask for pink embroidery thread, well

sir, you're just plum roco.

What's the news in Denver, Abby? Plenty.

Jury convicted them fellas for selling

guns to the Indians. They're on their

way to the federal jail now, I guess.

Well, that's good news. We won't have

any more trouble for the Indians. Do you

hear anything about Mason and his gang?

Yeah. About a week ago, he had a big

fight with the vigilantes. Some of

Mason's men was killed and others

rounded up. What happened to Mason?

Nothing. He got away and got more men.

Pretty smart fell at Mason.

Your job's not finished yet, Jerry. I

know. Unless Mason's brought in. It

won't be long before we'll have a bigger

bunch of cutthroats back. I wish it was

somebody else who had to go after him

besides me.

Is it because that ring has some

meaning?

Don Mason's my brother.

We're leaving for Denver tomorrow and

then I'm going to Durango.

[Applause]

[Music]

Well, that ride to Crepel Creek was

worthwhile. I told you, man. If you'd

string them, you'd be sitting in butter

for the rest of your days.

All right, come on in and wipe the dust

out of your throats and we'll divide

this.

Run down the block.

[Music]

There's the track again.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

They're playing right into our hands. As

soon as I fire, cut loose with

everything you've got.

What do you see, Jerry? Looks like the

glint of the sun on a rifle barrel. Duck

for cover, boys.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Hold him off as long as you can. Sam and

I are going to try to sneak in on him

from the side.

Listen, are you crazy? You wouldn't have

a chance trying to come in on him from

the side. We're not even going to try. I

just want them to keep fighting long

enough to give us a chance to head for

the desert.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Applause]

Mason and Sam Smith ain't here. Wait a

minute. There they

go. You met heard these prisoners back

to town. Perkin, Gabby, we're following

Mason. We better go back for supplies

first. Feeding water is mighty scarce

out there. It'll be just as scarce for

Mason. Let's go.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Mason, got anyone in that canteen? No,

it's been empty since early this

morning. Keep going. We're bound to hit

that water hole before long. Look,

they're still gaining on

us. I can't stick it out much longer.

They're They're just as tired as we are.

Come

[Music]

on. Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Are you still alive? Your bullet only

increased you. Gabby, bring that canteen

over here.

I wish you'd killed me instead of taking

me back to Denver. You'll get a fair

trial, Don. Sure, I know.

I can have only one outcome as far as

I'm concerned. I'll be found guilty and

sentenced to hang.

Not that I mind dying. I'm not afraid.

You know

that. It's that sitting in a cell

waiting for the morning. They'll put

that rope around my neck. You die a

little bit every

day. Still have to

[Music]

wait. You know, in Mexico, they they

have a way of burying prisoners. all

that. When a fellow's going to be

executed, they they give him a chance to

run for it and shoot him when he's

trying to

[Music]

escape. La Dave Wuego they call it. I

think I

know. Law of

flight. That's

it. It's a long flight.

[Music]

Goodbye. Thanks for everything,

oldtimer. Anytime you need me, you know

where you can find me. I'll always

remember that, Gabby. Goodbye. Goodbye,

Dr. Goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Dog gone it. There's another good man

gone and got himself roped and hog

tight. Fight of all my warnings. I know

she was out to get him the first time

she asked us up for supper. Better watch

your step, Gabby. You're allowed to be

next. What time is it, Gabby? Oh, you

ain't fooling me, none. Look for

yourself. Hey driver, wait for me.

[Music]

[Applause]
