Good morning, Colonel Nelson.

Good morning Kim.

Kim, I want you to meet an old friend, Sam Gibson.

Kim Shane.

A pleasure, sir. - Hello

Sam rode with Moseby.

In Santa Fe

Of course, we all know about the Cnel. Moseby.

You will enter the store business,

here in Crawford.

As soon as we find a good location for him.

Wait a minute, boy.

Colonel Nelson.

This city is not that big for another store.

I've got along well with you in the past, but...

I'm not going to stay here and let you do this.

I'm sorry you said that, Kim.

Because now my friend will not have to go look for a new location,

It will only take care of this.

I want you out of town for the sunset.

This time Colonel has gone too far.

I will not tolerate your threats.

What with my

my family, my things?

I can not leave so soon, I can not.

I think you did not think about that, Kim.

I'll give you until the morning.

From the West

Dick Powell presents:

The Zane Gray Theater.

I would like to say a few words about Texas,

The Patrolmen of Texas, I mean.

In 1826 when the Patrollers were organized,

the white Stetson hat was the only uniform delivered.

In case they worry, they had to buy the rest of their clothes.

The Patrollers were originally trained to fight the Comanches.

And to qualify a man had to ride like the wind, trace like an Indian

and shoot like an outlaw.

They were known as the militiamen of the West.

Of course the Texans ended this when Paul Revere asked for their help.

The Patrollers were armed with a rifle, a basic pistol, a hunting knife

and fifty rounds of ammunition.

Literally they were the B17 of the desert.

The history of Texas gathers some fantastic stories about the Patrollers,

for example, in 1907, James Donaway, was sent to Grovertown to stop a riot,

a single patrol car,

in the fight that followed he was wounded 19 times,

However, he sent a telegram to the governor saying:

Mutiny controlled. Shattered Nothing serious.

In our story this week, "Plate of Honor",

We will learn more about the value of Texas Patrollers.

"Plate of Honor"

Hoby.

Oh my God.

Hoby Gilman, come back from the war.

How are you boy?

We never cared to go against the grain.

Not me, boy.

Hey Hoby, let's have a drink, huh.

No, I have to see my sister.

Oh no, go within 10 minutes, let's have that drink.

Well, I think I'll go.

Now it was that you arrived.

An hour ago I was still in Arkansas.

Well, now you have to make up for lost time.

Yes, now things will be different.

What is that you have there?

Some kind of weapon or something.

It's not for entertainment, I got it in Tennessee.

I'm sure it's good to have you back, boy.

That goes double.

The last time the colonel asked him to stop writing about him,

Now he is ordering it.

You can tell your boss that I will write whatever I want,

while he is the owner of this newspaper.

As if that was not so bad

We learned that a couple of copies arrived in the state capital.

A couple of boys had to go there

to make sure that pack of lies did not fall into the wrong hands.

Do not mix in any boy.

You're not going to let him get away with that kind of...

Stay out of that.

and for the last time.

Good morning, Sheriff.

He can not leave without the first inside.

That's not funny, Charlie.

This is a friend of mine.

No offense to sheriff.

I know what you want, what your friend wants.

The same.

This is for your return Hoby.

What's happening Jed?

Did that plate lose some of its brightness?

Things have changed since you left boy.

It is not difficult to realize.

War, new government, things have changed a lot.

The view of the city maybe, what with you?

Making me old, Hoby.

I want to get older.

Yes.

But from what happened out there, you're not Sheriff.

It is still your job to prevent people from being harassed.

As I said, things have changed.

I'd like to meet your friend, Jed.

Colonel Boyd Nelson.

It is always a pleasure to meet a friend of the Sheriff.

Hoby Gilman.

An honor to meet you, Mr. Gilman.

I see from your clothes that you were involved in the recent conflict.

So is.

Chivalry?

Well, we have something in common.

I myself had the privilege of serving under the command of Billy Wing.

Who were you with?

Forst.

Was he with him in Salma when he confronted Wilson?

A terrible thing.

Terrible.

My heart was with you men and the general when I heard about that skirmish.

Skirmish?

We had a great battle between us.

Mr. Gilman, I've noticed that despite wearing a uniform, there is no logo on the

Well, I removed them.

Can I ask why?

Because the war ended. Is over. We lost

I do not know what your rank was Mr. Gilman,

but it is obvious that he is not aware

of the facts surrounding the Appomatox disaster.

I'm talking to you

The Confederation did not lose the war Mr. Gilman.

They did not lose it because they never had the opportunity to fight it.

They sold us.

Do you listen me.

Sold.

Well, what is the difference? It's over.

You're also wrong about that, Mr. Gilman.

It has not finished.

Maybe the weapons are silent, the guns destroyed,

the dead horses,

but the free will of the South is still alive.

If they start it again they will have to fight it without me.

I have the impression, Mr. Gilman

They should have done that the first time.

He cares if I finish my drink.

Absolutely.

Ahead,

and I think maybe I'll move on,

I have a feeling that Crawford is not the city for a man like you.

No, let him go.

I've seen your class before.

We will not have any problems with him.

Hoby.

No other Norah.

I do not know if what I'm seeing is a ghost.

The one that has arrived can be a peach if you prefer it that way

Where is the non-commissioned officer? You can not lie me.

I know you, do not think I'm so stupid.

I know it's out there.

Harry

Come here.

Norah, no.

Harry, I know you're out there.

I've waited for you for a thousand years, this is no time for jokes.

Honey, no.

Tell him to stop playing.

He has stopped being funny.

Hoby?

I did not even know it.

Just this morning I was thinking about you.

Right this morning.

And I did not even know it.

And I did not even know it.

Go ahead baby, go ahead cry.

That helps.

Here Nan,

Take these.

Goodbye.

I have to leave or I'll be late.

It's okay.

There you have a penny for a candy after school.

Ok Mom, thanks.

I could not tell you,

not yet.

Do you want cream in the coffee?

No, black.

Well, we do not have.

Be careful, it's hot.

Uhh that is good.

Now that you're back,

do you have any plans?

No, none yet.

Will not you go back to the patrol cars?

Do not.

I thought that you...

Honey, I've had enough of guns and killings,

Well, maybe go to the communal land to

see if I can allow me to raise a herd.

I never thought you'd like to be a rancher.

Well, I get along well with the cows.

If you stay around here you could be disappointed.

We need your help.

Did you see what's happening to Crawford?

You mean the good colonel.

Yes.

From what I saw last night in the city

Crawford does not care much what is happening.

That is not true.

He says he is trying to revive the Confederacy.

But really what you're looking for is getting enough power

to have its own State, it is not for the South either.

It's for the glory and benefit of Colonel Boyd Nelson.

People know, why do not they do something about it?

They do not allow it.

If any notice of protest meeting is placed

He makes his men break them.

Norah if and when the people of this city

He decides to do something, I will find the way.

Meanwhile, if someone gets up and tries to pressure him he will end up

it will end up carrying its own head.

Hi.

Is there anything we can do for you patrolman?

I'm looking for Boyd Nelson.

I am Colonel Nelson.

We'd better talk inside.

Anything you have to tell me,

You can do it here, in front of my friends

All right.

Colonel, we want you to come to Austin and explain some things.

Can I ask what things?

It seems that you have been offline

in the way he has been doing things here.

If what you say is true, patrolman,

This could be a very serious matter.

We have many reports from people

that you have expelled from the city, beatings, a couple of murders.

I do not use weapons.

You do not have to pull the trigger, it's the same thing.

Now I think we can solve this,

because we do not sit down and talk about it.

No, talking is not part of my job,

I have come to take you.

I can drag you, if that's how you want it.

No thanks.

Take your plate.

He was a representative of the Yankee government that has seized his State.

This is your signature, the signature of oppression.

Everyone knows what I think,

a free South, under its own flag.

And so that there is no error,

I want this to register now,

in front of you my friends.

I will kill any Yankee representative

come here and try to tell us

to us southerners how to live.

I will kill them because it is my duty to the Confederation.

I swore about the bible when they made me official in that army.

All right,

Is there anyone here who wants to take his badge?

Who dares?

Are not there any friends of the Yankees in the city?

All right,

There is.

Any man who picks her up,

Better reserve your farewell seat.

All right,

I would like a drink.

I imagine some of you feel the same.

I pay them, let's go.

Can not you separate yourself from the bottle, Jed?

Where have you been?

Walking, I had something to think about.

Tom and I took care of the patrolman's body while you were away.

Norah has been looking for you everywhere.

So you've learned, huh.

I can keep my shirt.

Yes, with a hole in the back when nobody sees you.

I thought you would be there to stop it.

I'm not a hero, boy.

I have a wife and two kids to think about,

they need me.

I also.

Not to fill the stomach, is not it?

You saw what happened out there.

Is that the kind of city you want your kids to grow up in?

You used to be all a Jed man,

There were not many situations that made you retire.

I tried to tell them what was happening,

when he arrived in the city,

I tried to warn them.

I do not care.

Old Jed does not know where we're going,

the colonel is a hero.

Sad, it's the money that brought him to Crawford.

I ask you one more time, Jed.

You come with me?

You're asking me to back you up with this kind of weapon.

Or, do you think I have the courage to pull the trigger?

What could you hit?

Just go and let me calm down.

Jed I...

Hoby, tell me what you did.

I hope not to arrive too late.

You better go home Norah.

No, unless you come with me,

I can not,

I can not do it.

Oh Hoby, please.

Please.

This morning you wanted me to do something about Nelson,

Now, what do you want?

I just want to live in peace, is that too much to ask?

That's what your husband wanted,

and me.

Mainly that's why I went to war.

As you said,

He could have done something about this, if he had returned.

I did not want to use that plate again, but someone had to put it on,

so that people can live the way they want.

Without being shot.

But not only, Hoby, I never wanted you to do it alone.

Do not worry, Norah,

he will not be alone

Take boy

I do not use weapons anymore, Jed.

Are you crazy?

Yes maybe.

But I'm going to do this my way.

Where is Nelson?

Sir, you are crazy.

I'm looking for Nelson,

I will not let you escape.

He went to the stable to supervise a new horse

who have sent him "Nova Dosis"

What do you think?

I'm going to look for him

Wait a minute.

They're going to put a bullet through that plate.

He said he does not carry weapons.

Has a.

Well, I want it alive. You have to take him to Austin.

Do not.

Better take this.

Do not.

I told you he has a gun.

But not me.

Thanks for offering it to me,

I'll go through the front of the barn,

your attention,

turn around from the back,

You must be able to be close to prevent them from firing.

You can not do that, it will never work out.

I hope you can,

what kind of weapon do you use?

A two shot Derringer.

Like a spit, an inaccurate shot.

Within 20 feet do not try.

Well, let's try it.

At least we have something in our favor,

with Merril outside the city.

Everyone but Tim Dougherty.

Yes, keep it under surveillance,

You know, the colonel's team should not be far away.

Hoby,

I do not know how this will end,

maybe I do not care much, but

there's one thing I want you to know, and it's

What?

Thank you.

What do we have here?

Look at the new patrolman who has arrived in the city.

Do not get in my way.

Does anyone in the city know how to spell your name?

The colonel likes to write well on the gravestone.

If I have to tell you again, you will not be able to answer.

You know Crawford's exits, take one of them.

It does not carry weapons.

No one who has gone against the colonel has been able to deal with him.

I think he wants to die young.

Nelson.

Colonel Nelson.

What does he want? I'm busy.

It's me colonel, Hoby Gilman.

I came to take Austin to kill a patrolman.

I did not kill him.

You gave the order.

I guess he did not hear what I said about men wearing badges.

I heard it.

Will it come out?

I told you yesterday, Gilman.

Crawford is not the place for you.

Gilman is acting like a fool.

It can not fight against the will of an entire city.

I'll talk to you, Gilman.

He wants agreements, we can achieve it.

You out there.

They listen to me

It is the colonel who speaks to them.

I want this man locked up by the Sheriff.

Now grab it and lock it.

What do you think you are doing?

Gilman is enough.

Gilman warned him.

I will kill him.

I will, I will kill him.

Go ahead Sheriff, if you want to enter.

Care Hoby.

You're good boy.

Yes.

What if.

We better put them in jail.

We will establish a welcome committee for when your people return.

I do not think that is very difficult. The city is on our side now.

It cost some hits.

Hey Hoby, you're going to continue with that badge.

I would like to stay with it, but I think that is indifferent.

I guess.

About that revolver that I have in the office and that I would like you to have.

If you're going to keep that, you'll need the other one.

That kind of thing has to go together.
