Hello...

Anyone here?

From the West

Dick Powell presents:

The Zane Gray Theater.

They have heard the one of the traveling salesman.

Well, be prepared that I have a new one for you.

A new type of seller, that is.

One that his merchandise consisted of printed books,

and that although he did not make much money,

I'm sure he brought a lot of pleasure to the primary West.

His sales successes were:

Dougan's Progress, Robinson Crusoe and The Thousand and One Nights.

The colonizers who fought against the Indians all day,

They had to read good action stories before going to sleep.

The worst sellers, and who could not get out of them were:

Advanced Mathematics,

Modern Ways and Customs,

Y...

Migratory habits of the butterfly of the big mouth.

That or I would have bought it.

I took orders for special books, like these,

that had been translated for the Navajo Indians.

The first was printed in 1834, by Steven Riggs.

First page, the Golden Rule.

Do to others what you would like them to do to you.

The Indian translation:

Since you do not want anyone to break your "Tippi"

Do not break the "Tippi" of others.

That is a true translation.

And it makes good sense no matter how you say it.

In the story that we have chosen for you this week, "La Villa del Miedo".

A book seller gets into a strange and exciting situation.

Our star is David Niven.

"The Villa Del Fear"

Raise your hands, sir, and leave them there.

Out.

Slowly.

Do you live around here?

Do not.

Where does it come from?

From no particular place, just from the surroundings.

He thinks he's funny.

Where does it come from?

Like I said, I'm American, I come from near Newark.

He has not listened to me, right, sir.

I asked him where did he come from?

A long time ago from England.

After that, from many places.

That car on the street is yours.

Yes.

Books.

Sell books, huh.

Yes.

Is that his name, the one in the car?

That's right, Allen Raikes.

He did not choose a good time to get to the city, Mr. Raikes.

I have noticed it.

Bad weather for him too.

That's the way we like to see the Sheriffs.

Shut up, Karger.

Oh He has no idea what's going on, Brill,

He's just a man who sells books.

Look.

Are you curious, man?

What happened here?

Yes.

You must not be curious, you see.

Take him to the barn.

Come on, bookseller

Get along with the others.

I ask you again,

to all of you.

Which of you shot the boy?

They listened to what I said, who?

Your.

You sell books,

you are a man who reads

Do you know anything about the law?

A bit.

When a man commits a murder he is responsible,

That's true, right?

You do not have to know much about laws to know that.

They heard what he said.

This is an educated man.

He reads, he knows the law.

Now, one of you is responsible for the murder of my little brother.

Unless you speak, there will be many more dead around here,

They understood that.

I do not want more problems,

Your...

speak to them

What do you want me to tell you?

Tell them...

explain about murder...

If they saw what I saw in the alley, I do not have to.

I heard.

My brother was killed.

Whoever did it is going to die

You are smart,

Respect to men with brains,

but I can make a tremendous mess.

I still do not know what he wants me to do.

Find it,

Find the one who killed him.

Find it, why...

Why have you been sent here?

I was brought, it's different.

What was all that talk about reading books?

I sell books, it's my job.

I have a car full of them out there.

He has the idea that because I read,

I can force them to tell him everything he wants to know.

He is lying.

It's a trick, it's one of them.

Do not.

We can know...

-I do not carry a revolver.

What do you know about this?

I just got to the city.

I saw a man hanging, it's what I know, everything I know.

Did you see a man hanging?

How was it?

Tall, gray hair, black vest.

It has to be Daily, the Sheriff.

What happened here?

I'll tell you what happened,

This city has just been designated stop and transfer point,

for the Box Fox Silver Mine.

This gang arrived to steal the shipment this week.

And someone started shooting them.

We never had an opportunity

They caught some of the women and we were able to fight them.

That guy Brill,

his brother was killed.

So he got us all here until he knows who shot him.

Who shot him, do you know?

Sir, we do not know, and if we knew, we would not tell him.

Move over there, so we can keep an eye on you.

We have to think the something.

The way I see it is to attack them as soon as they return,

There is enough of us here.

Some of the men will be killed or injured, but ..

Shooting here does not ensure that they are also injured.

Is right.

Dying with nobility, without weapons is madness.

Then what?

I have my wife to think about.

You heard what he said about the Sheriff.

If that is true, what should I do? sit down and wait for me to hang up.

Oh maybe the one who shot his brother should admit it,

It will not be easy, but you have to think about women.

But how are we going to know? Maybe I did it, I do not know.

Frank, you have a revolver, you could have been you.

It could have been any of us.

I did not shoot.

I think I know who shot him.

You know...

I was looking in the barber shop,

Before he says anything, the better he thinks about what he is doing.

Stay out of this.

No. No. Wait.

Let him talk.

How many of you were shooting?

It's hard to say...

seven eight....

There's no way to know.

Let's say nine.

If they think they know what bullet did the work,

They would have to be absolutely sure.

If they are wrong...

I also have a wife.

And what about my boys?

Do you think I'm going to protect a man instead of them?

If you are sure...

I suppose not.

Well Sherm,

I speak with them?

We speak.

Who did it?

It is interested in the law, the same one that broke when committing the theft

What happened to his brother was the result of the choice he made.

He died because of that.

He did not die, he was killed with a shot in the back.

Maybe he tried to go find someone who could kill himself.

You want to be like them, huh.

Who did it?

Who?

Do you think I'm bragging?

I'm going to clean up this disgusting city.

That will not return to his brother.

Do you want to die right now?

He tells me one more thing,

continue, say something,

All right.

We'll start with two.

He.

That.

Your.

And the.

No no. Dave No.

Does not anyone have anything to say?

Sherm, Sherm, you tell them, tell them what you saw.

I will tell you something.

I'll tell them...

I was going to kill him anyway.

I avoided the problem.

Outside.

There is nothing I can do.

What do you think? It's been more than an hour.

We will wait.

He was a good boy.

Yes it was.

Memory...

I remember a horse that once had,

Got hurt....

I had to kill him.

He cried...

But that boy was not weak, he could be tough.

I felt things...

You know.

Someone could see from afar what happened here,

the army barracks are only 15 miles away.

Yes I know.

No one has come, except the bookseller.

No one else should arrive soon.

Maybe that's why Brill chose the place.

This was a cattle step two years ago,

now they use the new path from "Chelsea" to "Blackhills".

This is a spot on the map, we must get out of here.

Yes, I do not plan to wait much longer.

I'm going to consult.

One leaves.

... and the mountains are very high.

Much higher than any in America.

Are the people of India called Indians?

Oh Yes.

And they take care of poisonous plants?

Sometimes,

Of course, those Indians are not the same type.

You. fought against the Indians in India?

Yes.

Did you kill a lizard?

A few.

Oh yes. I would have liked to see that.

Oh do not. That's not good.

Killing is not good

Sometimes you have to do it, but...

is not correct.

Why are you sitting there telling stories?

Maybe he knows that he will not be taken out to kill him.

Go back to your mother, then I'll find you a book so you can read all about it.

I'm afraid this is a time to wait.

Someone has to do something.

But what do you want...

Sure they will be taking a couple drinks

to be brave again and kill a couple more of us.

Are we going to wait sitting down for that?

Calm down, Sherm, you saw what happened today.

Keep calm, we do not want to scare women more than they already are.

Some of us have been talking.

Maybe Sherm knows who killed that guy's brother,

He says he thought he saw it.

Now that you say it.

I can not, I can not be sure.

Maybe we can tell him it was Dave.

Dave is dead, that matters.

Brill would never believe that, it's too easy.

I still propose to wait.

Without weapons nothing can be done in any way.

What are we going to do?

We do not know who did it,

and will continue to kill until I get an answer.

We have to do something.

Then, it has to be done now.

We will wait.

What is the meaning of that?

I'll tell you the meaning.

I have not been educated like the bookseller,

but I know the people.

There are many ways to die,

expecting to die is so bad

and sometimes worse than being dead.

They are waiting,

sooner or later one of them will yield,

And if nobody speaks?

Then there will be many widows in this city.

Come back to your position now.

Is coming back.

I have an idea.

Go ahead, someone had to think of something.

There are only two of them out there.

So is.

Choose two strong men to help you.

I will try to make them enter.

Do we jump on them when they enter?

No. We'll use that rope.

He does not care about our necks.

I still think we should get out, now.

Tell that to Brill.

That stopped as if I could...

How will the man get?

I'll close the doors until I know who shot him.

I dont trust him,

suppose it's a trick.

And what if it is not?

Do you have a better idea, Sherm?

If there is any shot, we are finished.

It is up to us that there are no shots.

Well, they are with me or not.

I can not think of anything better.

I am for it, and the rest of you.

Yes.

Sherm.

Agree. -All right.

Go choose the men.

I will speak to others.

I want you to stay apart.

Stay behind, in the corners,

They have to be absolutely calm, they understand.

They have to remove their revolvers.

If they suspect something when they enter we will not have a chance.

Hello out there.

It's Raikes, the bookseller.

What does he want?

Open the door, I have something to tell you.

I'm looking for Brill?

Better wait.

Good,

They all want me to tell you that...

What?

First they want your promise.

Her or his promise.

Not yours.

His word is not worth anything.

It's an animal.

He's going to regret that, bookseller.

Which of you is good with revolvers?

Frank is good.

I will take this.

One of the boys found this.

Thank Mrs.

Give me that, I go with you.

All right.

Keep absolutely silent.

Do not try to leave.

Keep close, behind the car.

If we get to the door, we'll take them off guard.

One is coming.

Does the Bar have a back door?

Yes.

I can go for the front and you for the back

There must still be about six men in there.

Go back to the barn and bring two more men

Then you come in front and send them from behind.

I'm going in now.

Can not.

I have to do it,

If one of them comes out now, we're finished.

Go find the men.

When they hear a noise, a crystal that breaks,

That will be your signal.

Start shooting, do not let them take off.

Now I want you to hit me, hit me hard in the face.

Will you do what I tell you?

Are you going to wear this?

Do not.

Wait for the others to arrive here.

Can I have a drink?

How did it go?

His men took me out.

Find out...

who killed his brother.

Who killed him?

Can not I have that drink?

Who killed him?

There in the barn, they're going to tell him...

They tried to stop me.

Their men...

His men took me out.

Who killed him?

There have not been enough deaths.

Who killed my brother?

Look...

You were very...

attached to him.

It is not like this?

Your story... Coozy what's up?

Well, outside, all of you.

I....

I think I owe you an apology.

This city has a lot to thank you for.

Sometimes violence is the only answer.

I wish it was different.

Here is Peter, the book on India that I promised you.

Thank you, Mr. Raikes.

He will not come to see the hanging.

No, I'm not going.

You're not going, Truth?

My mother would not leave me.

That's fine. It's okay.
