Ever since Bat Masterson's election

as Sheriff of Ford County.

Wyatt had know he must appoint a Chief Deputy

to replace Masterson.

Bat had proved himself with guns and fists.

In Wyatt's absence, the hoodlums of Dodge City

respected Masterson. Any other man named Chief Deputy

would have it tough.

Heard you're leaving town, Wyatt?

Yeah, that's right.

Sheriff Masterson sent word he's got some bank robbers

holed up in Bushwhackers. Hal, you'll be acting Chief Deputy.

Yes, sir.

Hank, Ted and Louie. You'll take orders from Hal till I'm back.

Wyatt, why can't Hal or one of us go help Masterson?

Because I know Bushwhack, and you don't.

Hal, if you want to ask any questions

ask 'em while I'm loading.

The boys are right, Wyatt. This is no time to leave town.

I didn't pick the time, Hal.

But I did pick you as acting Chief Deputy.

Now, you know the routine and how I want it run.

And I trust you. Now, you trust yourself.

Yes, sir.

I'll be back late this evening sometime.

You explain it to Mayor Kelly. I didn't have time.

Right.

- Congratulations, Chief.
- Yeah, you deserved it.

Thanks. fellas. The appointment's only temporary.

Now, what else you got in your mind?

Ted's been griping that his patrol's rougher than mine

so I thought I'd swap him if it's alright with you.

No. Each of you knows the rough spots in your own patrol.

- Oh, Hal.
- No! Get moving.

Hal.

- Yeah, Louie.
- Today might be a rough one.

Aren't you gonna swear on a couple extra deputies?

With Wyatt out, it'll take at least two guns

to make up for him.

Huh?

I said it will take at least two guns to make up for him.

And you always want to do things your way.

You admit you are short-handed

why don't you let me swear in some special deputies.

Mr. Mayor, special deputies are alright in a posse

but they're no good here.'

They just make extra business for the undertaker.

- Indeed not.
- Indeed, indeed now.

Now, cowhands have no respect for special deputies

they doubt that their gonna risk their lives just

for a couple of days of extra work.

Come on, Hal, we'll go get the drunks.

Now, Wyatt, speaking of undertakers..

The hoodlums south of the line respect us sure

but they ain't scared of us like they're scared of Wyatt.

If I was you, I'd swear in four extra men.

- No.
- Huh?

No, Wyatt doesn't approve of special deputies in town

neither do it. Check the saloons.

Just as you say, chief.

Louie thinks Wyatt should have made him Chief Deputy.

In a tight spot, will he let me down?

What is this now, Hal. Wyatt's ridin' out of town.

- When'll he be back?
- Tonight, Mr. Mayor.

He went to help Sheriff Masterson.

- And he left you in charge?
- Yes, sir.

Word sure gets around fast.

Snaky-W outfit just hit town, and they are all wearing guns.

Where are they?

The Alhamber Salon. I'll swear in some special deputies.

- No sir.
- What?

Snaky-W is not so tough, I'll make 'em check their guns.

Hold on, Hal. Maybe, I hurt your feelings.

You're better than average with a gun

but you ain't Wyatt Earp.

I know that, Mr. Mayor, but the Snaky-W ain't Wyatt Earp either.

Excuse me.

The average cowhand is mostly bluff and bluster, Hal.

He has to be awful drunk to shoot at a deputy.

He knows I'll be after him.

When you do move on a gun

move steady and in a straight line.

Well, if it ain't one of Earp's little boy.

All of you wearing guns, check 'em.

Check 'em, I said!

Nevin.

Check this.

Mike, put this behind the bar...

What's the idea, Hal? You ain't Wyatt Earp.

It's lucky for you Wyatt isn't here.

I warned you once, Nevin. They don't check your guns

you send one to me, understand?

Yes, Marshal Earp.

I'm closing you for a couple of days.

You keep on acting like Earp and...

Wyatt would close you for this. I'm giving you a break.

Next time you sell drinks to men wearing guns

you will be closed.

Any back talk outta you, I'll slap you.

I'll take that gun. What happened?

I asked him for a job, and he cussed me, so I cussed him back.

He started drawing, I shot him.

Mr. McKay never even reached toward his gun.

Quiet.

Either one of you see what happened?

No, sir.

Look, I'm telling the truth, officer.

Give me my gun, this is a neck-tie party.

You bet it's a neck-tie party.

Hold it! Hold it!

Start this boy off to jail.

Now, there will be no neck-tie party.

- But Mr...
- Don't crowd me. Pick him up.

That was close. Ted and Hank backed me up.

I know Wyatt would think I'm doing right.

Now, I don't care how much money these cattlemen bring

into Dodge City, Mr. Kelly.

I'm not in the marshal's office until I'm fired.

Marshal Earp is right, gentlemen.

Now you can always leech a man but if he's innocent

you can't bring him back to life.

I told you I'm investigating

any of you doubt my work, step outside.

Now, now. Wyatt, Wyatt. Gentlemen, I promise you

a fair and square investigation. Now just come along.

We'll let Marshal Earp handle this.

That's right.

You should have taken a poke at him.

Hal, Mr. Kelly is a friend of mine, and he's..

- He's got his problems too.
- They'll try and get your job.

Hal, there are two things a peace officer has

to be ready to toss in the table.

One's his job, and the other's his life.

We're still breathing.

Hey, Hal. The man that was shot was Todd McKay

- the SnakyW foreman.
- Yeah?

- Dave William's just got in.
- So?

Don't you remember? He owns the SnakyW spread.

He's a big man, he will trigger this town.

What are we supposed to do? Stand still?

- Quit talking like Wyatt.
- No.

I'm even trying to think like Wyatt.

There they are.

About five hundred yards.

Boy, you sure know this Bushwhacker country.

I never would have found them.

About seven of them.

We're gonna have to spook 'em.

Tie your horse off.

Come on.

Drop that gun!

Drop 'em!

Go on, get in, go on. Drop it.

Go bring him over here. Go on.

Lay him against that rock.

Put a tourniquet on that arm. You start patching him up.

Get over here.

Well, I guess there won't be any train robbing for a while.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

So your name is Danny Kirk?

You're a saddle tram from Arizona.

You came here to see a girl by the name of Pauline

over at the Stage Coach Cafe.

You'd never seen Mr. McKay till you hit him for a job.

- Well, I lied about that.
- Oh?

- I've had a rot with him.
- How's that?

Hell, he got fresh with Pauline.

I'd left my gun belt on my horse delivery stable.

I said I wasn't big enough fighting with my fist

but I'd gun him if he didn't quit bothering Pauline.

He just laughed at me.

So you laid for him and gunned him.

No, sir. You got to believe this, Mr. Norton

I run into Mr. McKay by accident.

Wearing a gun?

Well, I had to wear them. Made my brag about gunning him.

Pauline made me promise to get out of town.

I know it was wrong to go armed, but Mr. McKay had a gun too.

Where's Pauline now?

'She probably sore at me for breaking me word.'

Where's this Marshal Earp that Pauline makes a big hero of.

He's out of town.

My luck.

Doesn't look like such a strong jail.

No jail's any strong with new officers in it.

Lock him up.

- What are we booking him on?
- I don't know yet.

Say it's murder. They'll bust me outta here and hang me.

Easy now!

Wyatt!

It's always Wyatt.

Give me that!

He wasn't wearin' a gun?

Look at his right side pocket.

- He reached for this?
- No, but he was going to.

Alright, Two Spot, you be at the inquest.

Yes, Marshal.

Get some of your men to take care of the body.

Wyatt. You..

That's enough to get Two Spot off

just because the other man was carrying a gun?

Well, Two Spot was afraid, Hal.

Now, all he's gotta do is swear

that he knew Mr. Aber was carrying a weapon.

The law's gotta recognize that a man who is in fear of his life

can't be expected to act with a steady nerve in a situation.

Lot of peace officers don't understand that.

We have to wait until a hoodlum actually starts his draw.

That can be a long wait sometimes.

Yeah, it sure can.

You never take any chances with a man that's scared.

You pity him

but you buffalo him real quick.

Marshal Earp?

Marshal Earp!

Oh! You? Where's Marshal Earp?

He's out of town on a case. You must be Miss Pauline.

Yes, I am. When'll he be back?

Tonight, I hope.

Oh! That's not soon enough.

Oh, there's mean talk downtown?

You got Danny in there?

Yup.

You got to let him out. He can run for it.

I can't do that.

Why can't you let him out?

It was self-defence, I can testify.

- You see the shooting?
- I didn't have to see it.

Danny was scared of that man

and so was I.

He was really hounding me.

He deserved killing.

Marshal Earp would turn him loose, I know he would.

Not right now.

You're nothing but a deputy.

This would have to happen with Marshal Earp out of town.

I can pay you. I'll give you all the money I've saved.

- You trying to bribe me?
- Yes!

They'll lynch Danny, can't you understand that?

- Take it easy, Miss Pauline.
- Easy? I'm in love with him.

What is your price for turning him loose?

No price.

You tell me all you know about the shooting.

You mean from the start?

- You're very, very sweet..
- Oh, no!

Yes, you are, and you're..

Well you're.. You're smart too.

Look, I want you to do me a favor.

Alright.

Tell your brother to come into Dodge City.

If I have to ride out there, he might get hurt..

Or I might get hurt. You wouldn't want that, would you?

That's my girl.

You want me to trust you, don't you?

Yes.

I'll go right away.

- You wait leave.
- I'll wait right here.

That's police work?

I, uh, I try to be patient with women, Hal.

Well, they get a dirty deal in this world.

You know, I've seldom met a woman

in trouble that wasn't put there by some man.

Well-well, yes.

Love, now, she's just lonesome.

And she really hasn't got anybody to turn to.

She doesn't want her brother hurt, and I..

Well, I don't wanna have to ride out and shoot him.

Now, you put your trust in women.

They'll help you in cases where twelve men can't help at all.

Don't know if Danny drew on him or not.

But if Danny says that, that's what happened.

Well, I believe you.

Jury might not.

Danny said some men that live around town saw that fight.

Then why don't you make 'em tell the truth.

I can't search the whole town. That's your job.

How? Where could I start.

Go back to the cafe

ask a lot of questions, listen to the talk.

- What if the mob should come?
- No, no, no.

There are three deputies here and myself.

They're not gonna take Danny.

If we can't fight 'em off, I'll turn him loose. I promise you.

I think I believe you.

- I'll do it, Mr. Norton.
- Thank you.

Is she tied up with that young scamp?

She's in love with him.

Well, Judge Tobin will be in on 4 o'clock train.

What's that mean, Mr. Mayor?

Means quick trial for Danny Kirk.

Oh, no. They jury isn't gonna hang him.

Main thing is to agree on a prison sentence

hustle that kid outta town.

No, sir.

I think Danny shot out of self-defence.

Oh, indeed now.

Have you got any witnesses to prove it?

I'm working on that right now, Mr. Mayor.

You know, Wyatt. He'd raise particular net of a...

Wyatt! But you're acting marshal?

I'm trying to handle this the way he'd want me to.

Wyatt isn't here?

I don't mean to cast any reflections on you.

But Earp and Masterson can throw real fear into those cattle men.

They aren't afraid of us.

If we get tough with Dave Williams, he'll lynch that kid.

I know Dave Williams isn't afraid of me.

The point of it is, Mr. Mayor, I'm not afraid of Dave Williams.

Something troubling you, Mr. Kelly?

- Where's Ted and Hank?
- They went back on patrol.

Norton's not handling this thing with common sense.

Well, I got authority to fire him, you know?

Now, suppose I was to make you acting marshal?

You and your other boys do like I say?

Can't answer that until I talk to Ted and Hank, Mr. Mayor.

Well, go talk to 'em. Be quick about it.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Norton!

One thing you should always keep in mind about Texas

they're still fighting civil war in Kansas

11 minutes to 4, I make it.

You're almost 5 minutes slow

but that's natural.

Did Jim Kelly tell you about trying that punk?

- Yes, he did.
- You collecting a jury?

The judge is due at four.

What's the big rush, Mr. Williams?

Talks just like Wyatt Earp, don't he?

Patterns himself after that short-horn imitation...

You'll never call Wyatt names to his face.

Take him, boys.

Try it. One at a time.

Mr. Norton.

- In the cafe, quick.
- Later.

I got some business here.

Next time you see us, it'll be in court.

Court? Oh, no! Danny did shoot in self-defence.

You come with me, hurry.

So that's the play? Norton's gonna try to get the kid out.

Just let 'em try.

They're the ones, Marshal, these two.

They saw it. I heard 'em talking.

Pauline must be local, Hal. Nobody saw nothing.

On your feet.

- You too.
- What's it all about?

Material witnesses. Try and get me some more.

Come on!

How many times do I have to tell you

there's nothing to be scared about it.

All you have to do is to testify to what you saw.

That'll convince Williams that his man was asking for trouble.

Well, what about that kid in there.

You wanna see him railroaded off to prison

or taken out by a lynch mob.

Only wasting your breath, Hal.

If Wyatt Earp was here, it would be something different.

You said you'd protect us, sure.

But Earp's the only man they're scared of.

And besides that...

- Any luck?
- No.

Well, we can't spare the time.

- Party's starting?
- Yup.

- Lock 'em up.
- Come on, boys.

Starting early before Wyatt gets back.

We better be getting outside.

Why don't we pick 'em out from the doors and windows.

Can't hide from a mob, Louie, gives them too much courage.

From the mob's sound, they get all the courage from whiskey.

Well, drunk or sober, Hal, all mobs are alike.

One gunslinger who's made up his mind to go all the way.

Is more dangerous than 50 men in a mob.

At least, it's been my experience.

You can stay here if you want it, Louie.

Louie always acts that way before a fight.

Just don't get too brave out there.

Wait till the boss shouts, "cut loose."

I've been far and wide for some time.

Alright, you come and stay

but I don't want you arguing with Hal if you come with this.

I want silent deputies with their thoughts

and spraying buckshots where it's gonna do the most good.

Alright, let's go.

Hal! Snaky-W's are on their way across the plaza.

We'll meet 'em on the outside.

The kid said you promised to give him a gun.

I changed my mind about that. Here's one for you.

There's only about 15 of 'em

but I sure wish Wyatt was here.

So do I.

Why don't we use rifles from cover.

We can't. Every cowhand in town will be be shootin' at us.

Now, I'll do all the talking.

Louie, you take the left. Hank, the right and Ted, the center.

Don't shoot till you hear me cut loose with that first barrel.

That's close enough.

Don't be a fool, Norton.

Kelly lied about the judge.

Judge Tobin missed the train.

But we're on time.

What happened to your other deputies?

They missed the train too.

I said don't be a fool.

Earp and Masterson may try to even things

but you'll be dead.

Get out of our way.

We're comin in. Ow!

Don't shoot!

Why, you.

These men don't wanna lynch and innocent kid.

Better have Doc McCarthy look at Mr. Williams.

The rest of you, beat it. Go on! Move!

Danny! Oh, Danny!

Well, it's about time. I thought you'd never get here.

What's the matter, you been havin' a little trouble?

A little trouble, Wyatt..

Oh, no, sir. It was nothing I couldn't handle.

Well, that's what I expect of my Chief Deputy.
