You wanna meet me. Here I am. My name's Bret Maverick.

I don't wanna meet you. I wanna wreck this town.

And what're you gonna do about it?

Maybe I'll help ya.

If you're a gambling man.

Easy. Just a deck of cards.

I've got a proposition to make.

One hand of poker.

If the law wins, you go to jail for one day.

If the law loses, you have complete freedom

to wreck the town.

- The whole town? - The whole town.

"Maverick."

Starring, James Garner and Jack Kelly.

Produced by "Warner Brothers."

A "Warner Brothers" television production.

'Here he comes again.'

Your deal.

It's gone too far, judge. Something has to be done.

You want me to appoint you sheriff?

Job's been open since 8 o' clock this morning.

- Sell out. That's what I'll do. - Who'll buy?

Your deal.

That's all for me, gentlemen.

I wanna live to enjoy my winnings.

My horse.

- I don't believe it. - With one punch.

That's our man.

Smitty, ask the gentlemen to join us in the office.

Take care of Bill. Get rid of that horse.

Where can I cash in my chips?

- Follow me. - Thank you.

Come in.

Good evening, gentlemen.

You don't look as happy as the people out there.

Is 5000 too big a buy?

You pack a wallop in that right hand, Maverick.

Never thought I'd live to see

the lights go out on Bill Ferguson.

Well, as my pappy always said.

"Worst crime a man can commit is to interrupt a poker game."

If you'll just cash these in, I'll be on my way.

Go ahead, judge.

Mr. Maverick.

We'd like to make you a proposition.

Always ready for a proposition.

- Long as there's money in it. - There's money in it.

But there are important things in life.

There are?

The sense of duty, help to ones fellow man.

We lost our sheriff this morning.

He was a worthless no good. You know the kind.

- Oh, very well. - He hightailed it.

Drank up all my whisky on a tab and ran like a jack rabbit.

'We ever find him, the judge'll put him away'

'for a month of Sundays.'

Mr. Maverick, we'd be honored if you would be our sheriff?

- Me? - Oh, why not?

Well, gentlemen, I'll never forget this honor.

If I could just have my money now.

Just six months and we'll have a law abiding town

and you can be on your way.

'Think it over a moment, Mr. Maverick.'

There's almost $5000 there.

Jonah, you finished up with that paper?

Wrote it just the way you told me.

Sign here, Maverick.

"Bret Maverick, agrees to be the sheriff of the town

"of Duck N Shoot for a period of six months

"commencing the date of this piece of paper.

At a regular rate of $84 a month."

What's wrong with you people?

Mr. Andrews, are you willing to repeat your charge?

Well, it's not exactly my charge, judge.

But, it's come to my attention

'by a reliable source that some, uh..'

Go right on, Mr. Andrews. Feel free to speak.

Well, there was some cheating in that gambling game.

Cheating? Now wait a minute..

Are you really a judge?

- Gentlemen? - Why of course he's a judge.

This is blackmail.

- That's a serious charge. - What's a serious charge?

Blackmail.

Just give me my money if you don't mind.

With blackmail and cheating, I'm afraid the investigation

will take quite some time.

What investigation?

Why the investigation of these charges, Mr. Maverick.

'I'll gladly head, the investigating committee, judge.'

Thank you, Jonah.

How long do you anticipate it will take?

Ooh, I'd say about six months.

'It'll be might difficult finding some of those players.'

You understand, Mr. Maverick I'll have to impound the money.

Don't worry, my safe's one of the best for miles around

even better than the bank.

I'm sure, the end of six months

you'll be able to leave with your money.

Judge, you and your friends are forgetting one little item.

What's that, sheriff?

I've never had any experience in this sort of thing what so ever.

And what happened out there, that was an accident.

What do you mean?

The horse did it. I didn't hit him.

Besides I'm unreliable.

I'm a terrible shot.

And this I mean most sincerely..

I have been, for as long as I can remember, a coward.

Do any of you doubt my selection now?

I read somewhere once that a truly great man

is never satisfied with himself.

Judge, you're a keen observer.

Thank you, Andrews.

My money.

After the investigation, sheriff.

As my pappy always said..

"If you know a mans weakness, you know the way to his heart."

Your pappy was a smart man.

Wear this is pride and dedication.

Morning.

You like the pictures?

That there is Pat Garrett big law man.

He got Billy the Kid, you know.

I'll fetch you a cup of coffee.

'I'd don't think I'd care for any.'

You do the cleaning up around here?

Yep, coffee's always strong and hot

every morning exactly at seven.

- 'Wow-wee.' - What was that?

Oh, the boys just warming up for the day I guess.

The deputy's suppose to fill me in on some details.

What time does he get here?

Oh. I'm the deputy.

You're Billy Waker?

Yeah, William Leonard Waker.

Better know as Billy.

Believe I will have a cup of that coffee, Billy.

How long have you been deputy, Billy.

Oh, times sort of passing me by now and then

but it's been quite a spell.

You're the 23rd sheriff I worked for.

Why don't they give you a crack at the job?

Pass my prime, I guess.

But quite a nice thing for you to say, sheriff.

I don't mind being second best man in the town.

Here's to law and order.

May it always be our guiding light.

Little weak for you?

No, it's just right.

Well, guess we'll make the rounds first.

Rounds in this town?

How do you expect to bring law and order?

Billy, the way I look at it, you don't go looking for trouble.

If you do go looking for trouble, you might find it

there's always a killing or two, right?

And if there's a killing or two, there's no law and order. Right?

But..

You know, you may have a point there, sheriff.

You want me to fill you in on the bad characters.

Well, naturally. Then I'll know where not to go.

You understand.

I think I do.

Well, first there's them trail herders.

They're the worst of them all.

They're the ones that started that ruckus yesterday.

That must be Bimbo.

- Bimbo? - Meanest of the lot.

He always wants to try out the new sheriffs.

Oh, yes, another thing.

Bimbo's brother was the man you knocked out last night.

Yeah!

Is this kind of thing normal here?

It's a busy little town.

Let's not exaggerate. You certainly pick them.

Yeah! Yeah!

Bimbo doesn't know about Maverick.

If I'd have know he was gonna start early

I could've sold a 100 tickets.

Sheriff.

I thought maybe, I'll let him tire himself out.

- Bimbo never gets tired. - Then he's not human.

Sheriff doesn't have any rights to arrest

anybody that's not human.

Hey, where's that new sheriff? I heard he's pretty tough.

'Yeah!'

'Yeah.'

Hey, sheriff, come on out.

Come on out and get it.

Go get 'em, sheriff.

Come on, don't stand there. Go get him.

This maybe interesting.

Where've you been? Didn't you hear me call?

I was up late last night, Bimbo.

Yeah.

Well, just exactly what was it you wanted?

I've been looking for you.

Well, you don't even know me. What're you looking for me for?

You wanna meet me. Here I am. My name's Bret Maverick.

I don't wanna meet ya. I wanna wreck this town.

And what're you gonna do about it?

Maybe I'll help ya.

If you're a gambling man.

Easy. It's just a deck of card.

I've got a proposition to make.

One hand of poker.

If the law wins, you go to jail for one day.

Nobody puts Bimbo in jail.

If the law loses, you have complete freedom

to wreck the town.

- The whole town? - The whole town.

I'll be in my chambers if they're still there.

How do I know, if it's fair and square?

The deck's still got a seal on it.

Where are we gonna play this hand?

Right over in my office. Nice and cool and comfortable.

How about a Langhorne supply store?

He's always been charging me high.

Is that included in what I can bust?

That's included till your hearts content.

I don't like it in there. What's wrong with right here?

What ever you say.

I'll break the seal.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

And I'll shuffle.

Wait a minute. Don't you think we ought to cut for deal?

What's the matter, don't you trust me?

Go ahead, cut.

Eight.

Six.

I've been wanting to do this for a long time.

What? Play poker?

Tear this town apart, without hating myself for it

the next day.

- I can't guarantee that, Bimbo. - You already have.

You're the law and you're making it legal.

Now, wait a minute. Mind if I cut 'em again?

Just to make this legal.

How many you want?

Three cards.

Dealer taken four.

What you got, Bimbo.

Two pairs of kings and fours.

Three nines.

- Three nines? - Lock him up, Billy.

Maybe he'll work out the same arrangement with us.

When the time comes.

Forgive me, Mr.Hoyle.

Now, her highness is happy?

And we can start our meeting.

Have you heard anything?

Cattle will be back with the profits within a week.

15,000, like you said?

More like 20. They had a good drive.

Lost only 40 head.

I know we signed Missy for the job.

But the more I size this town up, what can she do to help us?

I don't know.

- A deal's a deal. - You can go back to Denver.

We'll deliver your cut.

That'll be very trustful of me, wouldn't it?

I want my cut.

And I'm not doing any waiting back in Denver for it.

One third of 20,000 and don't you forget it.

You've a lot of casing to do on the bank, haven't you?

In this town, we can do it at high noon without any trouble.

- But there is a sheriff. - We've all seen him.

- Nothing to worry about there. - I don't know.

There's something peculiar about him.

He doesn't seem to act the way a sheriff is suppose to act.

Exactly. Why take a chance.

If he finds out, what you're up to the whole thing

could blow sky high.

And what could you do?

Just what Fred hired me to do.

Make sure he's occupied.

When you two are.

♪ When we fit with General Grant ♪

♪ We fit with General Lee ♪

♪ Oh the bear went over the mountain ♪

♪ Oh the bear went over the mountain ♪

♪ Over the mountain to see what he could see ♪♪♪

Don't you ever go home?

Every night.

This is a bad apple. This one.

He's never been on the straight and narrow since I've come here.

Sweet dreams, Herman.

Hey, Billy.

Does Judge Hardy keep his safe in his office?

Sure does. Been there 12 years, ever since the judge been judge.

Well, lot of important papers kept there?

The very backbone of the town on papers in there.

The judge don't trust the bank to keep them papers in it.

- Bank looks sturdy enough. - It ain't though.

It's been robbed more times than I got years.

No need you checking it out. If that's what you had in mind.

Might be a good idea.

Anybody who'd wanna haul that away

would have to have a new invention.

It's welded to the floor.

How do you shut Herman up?

Oh, he goes on like that all night.

Just don't pay no attention to it, sheriff.

Herman.

Here tape her off with this.

Good night, sheriff.

Good afternoon, Judge Hardy.

How'd your day go in court?

Sheriff, it went fine. Less cases every day.

Well, I'm afraid that's my fault.

I haven't been making enough arrest lately.

I guess so.

- Have one? - No, thank you.

Judge, when are you gonna be convinced

that you made a mistake.

- Mistake? - Appointing me sheriff.

What I told you about being a coward

and having no experience was true.

Listen, sheriff.

I don't hear anything.

That's exactly what I mean, the sound of silence.

Sheriff Maverick, that's your doing.

My doing?

You had us worried there for a while but, then it happened.

The silence?

We've been making a mistake for years

thinking that we needed a two gun sheriff.

They needed was someone like you to out smart them.

What makes you think, I can out smart them?

Well, at least you had a quieting effect on them.

Keep up the good work. Oh, I almost forgot.

Here's your $84 for the first month.

We figure we can afford to pay you in advance.

I still have to serve out the full six months?

The full six months.

Six full months.

"To Bart Maverick, Plaza hotel, Denver, Colorado.

Help. Signed Sheriff no kidding Maverick."

Just one word in this message.

Gonna cost you the same as it would for ten.

Then put in nine more "helps."

Nine more "helps."

Oh, pardon me, sheriff.

- You are the sheriff? - At your service.

I hate to bother you with minor problems.

I wish there were more of them.

I'd appreciate if you could recommend a good place to eat?

I'm staying in the hotel and they won't allow me

in the dining room without an escort.

I haven't been here too long myself but..

I was thinking of opening an escort service.

Oh, sheriff.

That's very nice of you but..

- I'd be delighted. - It's my pleasure.

Shall I pick you up at the hotel at 7 o' clock?

Thank you, very much.

Ask for Melissa Maybrook.

And you may call me Missy.

Sheriff.

Sheriff, they're destroying it.

You got to do something, Maverick.

It's Little George Roy and Bimbo from triangle ranch.

They'll kill each other.

Maybe we ought to let them.

But my place will be buried first.

Keep him out of there, sheriff.

I got 30 to 20 he'll get up.

You're on.

When Little George throws his knee, nobody gets up.

Anymore bets.

That's the end of Little George.

I'm givin' even money he gets up.

- Any takers. - I'll take $40 of that.

Alright, sir, you're on.

- $40 of that. - I'll take 30.

30 you're on, sir.

- I'll take this thing. - How much?

'You're covered. That's fine gentlemen, thank you.'

Yes, sir, gentlemen. You got the 15.

That covered..

Thank you, gentlemen.

But there won't be anything left of the place.

- Or me. - I'll see what I can do.

Drag 'em apart.

I don't think that'll work.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

I'm giving even money that both of them get up.

I'll take some of that.

- 'I'll take 15.' - 'That's yours.'

What?

You boys just keep going, I'll make enough to retire.

You making money of this fight, Maverick?

Any time you and Little George feel the urge

you just let me know. It's almost as reliable as poker.

You hear that, George.

The sheriff's making money of our fight

and we ain't getting nothing.

That ain't right, Maverick.

A man oughta be allowed a little pleasure

without having someone else make... money of it.

That's what makes the world go around Little George.

Well, this fight's gonna stop and right now.

Come on, George, lets go find a quite spot to fight

where the gamblers can't take advantage of us.

- That's good enough for me. - Let's go.

It's all knowing how..

Wait a minute, gentlemen.

They both got up, didn't they?

'He's right.'

To more enjoyable evenings.

I'll drink to that.

You don't act like a sheriff at all.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

As my pappy always said.

"Try everything once and if you don't succeed

then become a law man."

What did make you become a sheriff?

Pressure. Economic pressure.

I don't think it's worth it.

You didn't come to Duck N Shoot

to take my job as sheriff, did you?

- No. - Then why did you come here?

Oh, just traveling.

- And looking. - For what?

What every woman looks for, I guess.

She looks a little too interested.

You'll never understand a woman like Missy then.

Morning, Billy.

How about some of that coffee?

Past 9 o' clock and the coffee's cold.

I'll mozy to the hotel and get some.

If you see that new lady friend of yours

ask her about her friends.

What do you mean?

I hear tell she came to town with

Fred Leslie and Buck Danton.

Who are they?

They got a list of offenses against law and order

as long as your leg.

It'll take a pretty tough man to scare 'em away from doing

whatever they're planning on.

What makes you think they're planning on doing anything?

Their type don't come to town to settle down

and they don't let no gal like that Missy

sweet talk you for nothing.

Maybe you better check 'em out.

I'll look into it, Billy.

Excuse me. You got a Buck Danton and Fred Leslie registered here?

I was wondering when you'd enquire about them, sheriff?

Yes, we have.

Well, they cause you any trouble?

- Not yet. - Good.

You'll find them upstairs in room 17.

And Miss Maybrook in 13.

Thank you.

Have you boys got your plans all made?

Tomorrow night.

I should have our friend well in hand by then.

You'd better.

Find the bullets sitting in the back of that badge he wears.

'No violence.'

'Unless of course that half bad sheriff comes snooping around.'

'Come on, Buck.'

- Good afternoon, Bret. - I waited for 20 minutes.

I was beginning to wonder if you were gonna show up.

You alright, Missy?

You sure? You look like you got troubles.

I do. Oh, Bret..

I have a confession to make and It's very hard to say.

'I hope it won't change our relationship.'

It probably will, but take a chance.

Have you ever heard of Fred Leslie and Buck Danton?

Since 9 o' clock this morning that's all I've heard.

I won't sit here and pretend I've been and angel, Bret.

But I want no part of what they're planning.

Neither do I.

Then you know?

I know they're up to something.

Why the sudden change of heart, you came to town with them.

I didn't think they were gonna rob a bank.

I was told I could make some fast money.

They didn't say how.

Do you always go into a venture like this

without knowing anything about it?

Missy, I overheard your conversation upstairs.

Your job is to keep me distracted.

I had to pretend to go along with them.

They're dangerous.

Mmm-hmm.

If I was still lying to you, would I mention any of this?

Or that they plan to rob the bank tomorrow at midnight.

Oh, Bret. I don't want anything to happen to you.

The best thing you can do is just forget you told me.

- But you're the sheriff. - Yeah.

Maybe you should stop them, Bret.

Me? I have it on reliable source that Danton has killed

quite a few men already.

I don't know why he should stop now.

What are you gonna do?

Frankly, I don't know.

I might even forget about the $5000

and ride out of here.

Maybe you don't have to do that.

What have you got on your mind?

Rob the bank yourself.

What?

Don't you see, that's the only thing to do.

If you took the money out before midnight tomorrow

they couldn't rob it.

Then they'd have no reason to stay in town.

'They'd leave.'

'And be out of your way forever.'

Ridiculous.

And you could explain your brilliant piece

of strategy to Judge Hardy.

And as a reward he'll give you your money back.

- No. - But, Bret..

No, absolutely. No.

- Is this the one? - That's what the boys said.

Second from the left.

- Now what? - Oh.

That's why it's been robbed so many times.

Robbers keep putting it back in the place.

No wonder Judge Hardy doesn't trust the bank.

You first.

I'll be right with you.

- This is the president's desk. - Where's the vault?

They never had one made.

Fred says this used to be a saloon.

When business became slow, the owner turned it into a bank.

We don't need that.

The feel of money is like no other.

Watch the window.

Noisy, aren't I?

Ah, there it is.

Twenty thousand.

Exactly.

There we are.

Two hours ahead of schedule.

Danton and Leslie oughta thank me

now I don't have to arrest 'em.

What are you gonna do next?

I think I'm gonna sit up all night and wait

for Judge Hardy to come in, in the morning

scream about the bank being robbed

and I'll tell him my little scheme and off to freedom.

Maybe we'd better go back separately.

I'll see you in town, darling.

Well, we're having a party, Judge?

Kinda. Tryin' to figure the best way to kill you.

I know there was something funny about him all the time.

Now what did you wanna be thinking

about a thing like that for?

Herman here saw you climbing at the bank.

We checked, the money's gone.

Alright, Herman, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

You've gone and ruined my party.

And you've gone and ruined my faith in human nature.

Where's the money?

Well, just be calm a minute.

It's 'bout all you've got, a minute.

I'd hope to do this in the morning but..

Do you know Buck Danton and Fred Leslie?

We know what kind of men they are.

Well, at 12 o'clock tonight they're going to rob the bank.

Except that there's no money in it.

That' right, 'cause I found out

about the plans, took the money out.

For the welfare of each and everyone of you, gentlemen.

'Then in the morning when the money was discovered gone'

'I could come to you and say, "no, Danton and Leslie'

'did not leave with the money they left empty handed."'

And then in return for the $20,000 you being

a reasonable man, Judge, you would show your appreciation

by giving me back my $5000, right?

All I know is you're a bank robber.

- Where is the money? - The money is safe.

You're not, where is it?

I'll give you the money

after I prove I'm no bank robber.

You're in no position to bargain.

If Danton and Leslie show at the bank

you'll know I'm telling the truth.

Alright, Maverick, it sounds unlikely enough to be true.

We'll give you a chance to prove it.

'Go ahead and turn over, Pat.'

Shouldn't be too long now, Judge, it's almost midnight.

For your sake, I hope they get here.

I heard 'em say so myself.

- Full house. - Sorry, four fours.

Four jacks.

- I've had enough. - That's it for me.

How 'bout you?

Oh, I'm sorry, came to town with $5000

and if I try real hard I might be able to put

enough money together to buy a cup of coffee.

- 12 o'clock. - How much you got?

- Eight thousand. - Twelve here.

Twenty thousand and twenty more waiting for us.

- Let's go get it. - Okay.

'Fred.'

- Why aren't you with Maverick? - Something has gone wrong.

There are men staked all around the bank.

How'd they find out?

I haven't the slightest idea.

Maverick was supposed to meet me at 11 o'clock.

When he didn't show up I went looking for him.

It's too risky, we better not take a chance.

But what about my time and the agreement?

I know, you got little money coming to you.

Now we did pretty good inside the saloon.

How 'bout a hundred bucks? It's really all we can afford.

Fine partners you turned out to be.

Can't be helped.

But you're welcomed to ride along till we case another job.

No, thanks. I was out of my mind in the first place

coming to this wild cat town.

Goodbye and may we never meet again.

1 o'clock, Maverick.

They're only an hour late, Judge.

We've had enough patience for one night.

Where's the money?

Don't be bitter.

Isn't there anything about my story that touches you?

'The money.'

Right over here.

Oh, no.

Bret, you've really gone and out done yourself this time.

It's that girl I didn't steal it.

You just took the money out of the bank.

I've explained this till it's coming out of my ears.

If the girl gets out of town

they're gonna put a thick rope around my neck.

But you get a trial.

I'm afraid the Judge is little prejudice.

I'd like to stand here and talk with you about it all day..

But don't you think you oughta start helping me.

Well, what do you want me to do?

Well, get the girl and the money and then get me out.

Brother Bret, there's a little matter of $5000

that you've been owing me several months now.

Uh, this is as good a time as any

to straighten it out, wouldn't you say?

I don't have the money.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, that is a shame.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. I do have the money.

Well... that is, I sort of have the money.

I guess it's a little confusing trying to uh, think in there.

There is the $5000 that Judge Hardy is holding for me.

That's how I got in this mess in the first place.

You're very weak.

Letting money guide you in to such undesirable ports.

You can have the money after I get it.

I'd uh, I'd prefer to have you uh, write that down.

Well... Judge Hardy's got the money

if you don't believe me ask him.

Oh, I believe you, but my pappy always use to say

"son the next best thing to money is

a man's name on the dotted line."

And you forget that he was also my pappy

and he said, "sign nothing."

Yeah, but uh, it isn't too hard to figure which one

of pappy's proverbs holds the most water at this moment.

You'll never live this down.

You got the money that bank robber owed you, Mr. Dickson?

I'm afraid not, but I haven't given up hope.

I always thought big-time poker players

played for cash only.

Times are tough.

We've been forced to extend credit, bad policy.

I'll probably be calling on him again.

Anytime before they hang him.

How's the food, Maverick?

Don't have much of an appetite, Judge.

We want you to eat.

We want you to enjoy every minute you're with us.

Did you talk to the Maybrook girl?

- She denies everything. - She was there with me.

She went through the window with me, and hid the money with me.

Why is she sticking around town?

People who rob banks usually run.

Your tial comes up tomorrow.

You can save your skin by telling me where the money is.

I don't know where the money is.

I've heard of characters like you. Figure to be out

in five years, then everything'll be free and easy.

But you don't know my court.

Years from now you'll be buried deeper than that money's hid.

I do like a friendship that ripens fast, John.

My dear, you have a real talent for friendship.

Uh, but umm, even though we are good friends I..

I don't know what brings you to this funny little town.

- Business. - Is it a secret?

No, I'm a professional gambler.

I never would have thought that, John.

Not many people do.

Professional gambler has a bad sound, it shouldn't though.

Not if you approach it strictly as business the way I do.

Are you going to gamble tonight?

Yes, I think they've scheduled a game for me at 10 o'clock.

- They? - My backers.

You have backers?

Yes, I never use my own money.

How interesting.

Oh, what do your backers pay you?

Fifteen percent of the profits

and no interference in the way I play.

You must be good to have people invest their money on you.

It's my business, Missy.

I have to be good.

I have a feeling you are, John.

Too bad you have backers.

I might like to invest on you myself.

No, I have my deal set up before I come in to a town.

Two cattle men hired me.

They just finished a very profitable drive.

Uh-oh, I hate to leave this lovely company

but I've gotta meet 'em at 10:00.

- The cattle men? - Mmm-hmm.

- Haven't you heard? - Heard what?

The bank was robbed last night.

By the sheriff of all people.

Your cattle men's profits have vanished, John.

Heard the bank was robbed

but I didn't know it was there money.

They're probably embarrassed bringing you

all the way down here.

I'm sorry, I'm the one that told you.

Oh, no, that's alright. I better go see them.

I have big plans.

You could be part of them.

Oh, no, it's a very risky business, Missy.

I lose sometimes.

There's no time like the present to get my money working for me.

I'd never forgive myself if I lost your money.

Call it a hunch..

But I don't think you will.

I can never argue with a hunch.

Turn your back, John.

Hmm?

I happen to have the money with me.

Of all the low miserable dirty tricks you..

You sidewinder!

The Denver Bank checked the numbers on those bills

it's the same money.

Well, now that I've been clear, Judge, I'm sure I'm free to go.

On the contrary, you've discovered

how the banks been robbed all these years.

Danton and Leslie have left for greener pastures

and Miss Maybrook is where she belongs..

And I still have your $5000.

But, Judge, I'm gonna be leaving with or without you consent.

You see, Judge, that money doesn't belong to me anymore.

It's been used to pay off a debt to my brother Bart.

And since you've seen how he handles law breakers..

Now, just a second.

Besides he has the same attitude for money that I do.

See you, Bart.

Bret, come back here.

Six months we'll have law and order

and you'll have your $5000, sheriff.

Worried, sheriff?

Don't be. I have a very forgiving nature.

I'll find a way to get us out of here.

With the $5000.

Of course.

I will think of something.

I'm afraid you will.

Where's your star, Maverick?

Pinned on a new man, Bimbo.

I'm sure you'll find him in his office.

- Huh, a new sheriff, eh? - Right.

Wow-wee, ho ho ho, ha ha!

Bimbo is the meanest of the lot.

That's him now.

He always wants to try out the new sheriff.

'Hey, sheriff, come on out!'

'Come on out and get it.'

'Ha ha.'

Go get him, sheriff.

'Wow-wee!'

'Wow-wee!'
