(Whistle blowing)

(Theme music playing)

As soon as you uncouple
Mr. Calhoun's car, we'll shove off.

All right, Mr. Tarrant.

We'll wire you, Dave, for when
to send the rest of the materials.

All right.

Good luck. Nice trip.
I'll see you next time.

All right. Dave, so long.

(Whistle blowing)

Now, let's see if we
can find Brewster.

Shouldn't be too hard
to do in a town this size.

When were you here
last, Mr. Calhoun?

Well, about four to
five years ago, I guess.

Brought a herd of
horses through here.

Sold a whole herd right here in
this town. It was a bull town then.

Well, that's hard to believe.

(Chuckles) Was.

The only ones left are the ones
too tired to move on, I suppose.

There's your bulletin
board, get your sign up.

Barnabas: What about that?

Ben: It's like one
of us is gonna get

the bottom of the
barrel, doesn't it?

Oh, no, first come,
first serve, gentlemen.

Well,

there may not be
enough men to go around,

but it's still a system of free
enterprise and open competition.

You ought to let the men
decide for themselves.

Put it up, barnabas.

Oh, no, let it lay, barnabas.

Ben: Put it up.

Packed quite a punch.

I sure hope it don't get you
into any trouble sometime.

See if we can find Brewster.

While we're here at the saloon,

it seems we better get
some information on it.

Excuse me,

I wonder if you could, uh, tell me
where I might find osgood Brewster.

It's up the street.

Wonder what he meant by that.

Don't know. Let's go find out.

So we are gathered here together

to pay our respects,

to a man who was dearly beloved.

He was a simple man,

a good man.

And above all, a respected man.

Yes, friends,

osgood Brewster,

affectionately known as dusty,

was a man who had etched
himself into our hearts.

I hate to say it at
a time like this but,

there goes our right of way.

When dusty's faithful
burro came back alone

nearly a week ago,

many of you formed search
parties, and went without sleep,

but all to no avail.

Now we must reluctantly
agree that osgood dusty Brewster

has found everlasting
peace in that last strike,

his gold mine in the sky.

Unfortunately,

we do not have dusty's remains.

So we are holding
this memorial service

in his memory.

Well, what do we
do now, Mr. Calhoun?

Ben: We do a little thinking.

Are you Ben Calhoun?

Yes, ma'am.

It's very kind of you
to pay your respects.

Well, I wish I could
take credit for it, ma'am.

I didn't know anything about it.

Of course not.

I'm Anne daugherty.

Ben: Pleased to meet you.

This is my assistant, barnabas
Rogers. How do you do?

Hello.

Would you both
come with me, please?

This is my establishment.

(Door closes)

Would you be seated, gentlemen?

Have we met before
somewhere, miss daugherty?

You seem to know who I am.

I've been corresponding
with you for dusty.

Ben: Then you must
have written this letter.

(Sighs) Yes.

The poor man
couldn't read or write.

This is especially difficult
for me, Mr. Calhoun.

You see I...

I'm his only beneficiary.

Are you related to him?

No.

But I've more or less
reluctantly inherited

the land you wish to purchase.

You see, dusty and I...

Were good friends.

(Inhales) And he'd run up a...

Sizeable bill here.

And of course I've
been grubstaking him.

He wanted to make sure

I had some kind
of protection in case

anything happened.

And he signed the
land over to you.

Oh, it was an open-end deed.

He, uh...

He had the option to...

Redeem it anytime
he paid his bill

and of course I
had the same option.

Naturally, I would have just...

Left it in my desk, but...

Now with...

I'm sorry, Mr. Calhoun.
Would you mind

if we discuss this
some other time?

Ordinarily, I wouldn't
think of doing business

under these circumstances.

Unfortunately, I've got
a work crew standing by

and a mail contract that's
hanging in the balance

depending on our
completion date.

Just seems a little
callous. That's all.

With the services hardly over.

Well, that shouldn't
take too long.

I've got the $5,000 with me

that Mr. Brewster
and I agreed on

for the right of way

and all you have to do
is sign the paper over.

(Knock on door)

Oh, come in.

Mr. Logan.

Uh, uh... Ben Calhoun and
his assistant Mr. Rogers.

Yeah, we've met.

Miss daugherty, I
understand that you hold

the deed to dusty
Brewster's property.

Dusty Brewster's
dead, Mr. Logan.

Yes, I know that.
And I'm very sorry

to intrude on your
sorrow at this time.

But that deed is
very important to me.

(Exhales sharply)

I didn't even know
you knew dusty.

Why is the deed
so important to you?

Well, I made arrangements
to buy it from him.

For the timber on
the hill, for $5,000.

He told me to meet
him here today.

I was supposed to
meet him here today also.

How long ago did you
make your deal, Mr. Logan?

About two weeks ago.

Well... (Chuckles softly)

We shouldn't have
any real problems.

All I want is the strip of
land down on the river.

That hill is no good to me with
railroad tracks between me and the river.

I've got to roll my
logs right into the river.

And flow them down to a
mill I'm planning to build.

Look, the way I see it,

it's a matter of
business ethics.

I've been corresponding
with Mr. Brewster

for quite some time now.

Our deal was concluded.

And I think miss
daugherty can verify that

since she wrote all of
the letters for Mr. Brewster.

I took that man at his
word as he took mine.

With all due respect,
miss daugherty,

I will nonetheless
have to press my claim

whether it's right
here or in court.

(Sighs)

Gentlemen, uh...

What am I expected to do?

Well, now, what about
all this free enterprise

and open competition
you're so fond of.

All right. (Clears throat)

I'll raise my offer
for the land $500.

I'll offer $6,000 for
the entire property.

If you insist on bidding,

I'm afraid I'm going
to have to consider

the right of way and
the hill as one package.

Which means your bid will
have to also include the hill.

I've got no earthly
use for that hill.

Yeah, this is the way dusty
Brewster had it all figured out.

He told us both to meet
him here on the same day.

He knew we'd start
bidding against each other.

(Exhales) Well, if you, uh,

gentlemen persist in
doing business. I'll, um...

I'll comply with dusty's wishes.

All right, I'll offer
$7,500 cash.

$8,000.

$9,000.

$10,000. $11,000.

$12,000.

Are you through, Mr. Logan?

Oh, no.

No, but I think he will be.

$15,000.

If we keep going, the land
is gonna be too expensive

for either one of us
to do anything with.

Are you thinking of
withdrawing from the bidding?

Oh, no.

No, I'm gonna offer $15,000
which matches your offer.

It puts us back
where we started.

Now, I'm gonna make one more
suggestion. We play one hand of poker.

The winner takes the land for the
$15,000 and the loser steps down.

(Chuckles)

I'm not in the habit of, uh...

Doing business that way.

That's how Mr. Calhoun
won the railroad.

All right.

One hand of poker.

$15,000, winner takes all.

Would you gentlemen

like to go into
the gaming table?

Certainly.

This is gonna be the biggest
game this town has ever had.

I sure wish old dusty
was alive to see it.

Sure do wish he was.

Drink up, men.

Winner's gonna buy
everybody a drink.

You better run over to the car get
$10,000 in cash and bring it back here.

I was gonna stay
and bring you luck.

(Chuckles) What I need now
is a change of luck, thank you.

This is a...

Pack of cards, please.

Are you about
ready, Mr. Calhoun?

Ben: I'm ready good.

All right, high card deals.

We ought to let Ms. Dougherty
deal since it's her game.

(Chuckles)

All right.

Three card limit on the draw?

Three.

Ben: Three cards.

Pair of Jacks.

Well, looks like you just bought
yourself a right of away, Mr. Calhoun.

(Crowd cheering)

(Shushing)

In honor of dusty's memory,
drinks are on the house.

(Men cheering)

I think we can conduct
the rest of our business

in my office, Mr. Calhoun.

My assistant will be back
with the cash and I will join you.

Don't be so
disappointed, Mr. Calhoun.

(Chuckles) You're the winner.

(Chuckles)

Quite the contrary,
I'm the runner up,

you're the winner.

How much further?

I guess another half hour.

Isn't this the most expensive five
miles of right of way we ever bought?

Yeah, but as a 1%
owner, barnabas,

you should know that we'd be
able to use the timber on that land.

For shoring, fuel, pine.

And for railroad ties.

Put it like that, Mr. Calhoun,

my one percent skepticism
turns into 100 percent enthusiasm.

(Chuckles)

All right, let's go see what the
railroad ties look like standing up.

Barnabas: Well, this can't
be it, there's no timber.

According to the map, it is.

It must be the wrong map, or the
wrong hill, or the wrong something.

I couldn't agree with you more.

(Gunshot)

Get over behind those rocks.

Ben: Grab that rifle.

(Gunshot)

It's just beyond those rocks.

You keep me covered. I'll
go around and take a look.

(Gunshots)

(Gunshot)

Man: Help.

Help.

Bring the water.

Hurry.

Hurry.

I can't hold on. (Grunts)

Oh. My leg.

I can't move.

Easy, easy.

(Grunts)

Be careful.

(Grunts)

Hand me that water.

Drink this water slow.

So, you don't gag yourself.

(Gulps)

(Exhales)

Mister, you must be
the archangel Gabriel.

How bad is he hurt, Mr. Calhoun?

I have no idea.

I never figured to get out.

I kept firing that rifle.

Hoping someone would hear.

Uh, I was down to
my last two shells.

What did you call him?

Hmm? Calhoun.

This is Ben Calhoun.

Mr. Calhoun.

I'm dusty Brewster.

We've been letter
writing. Dusty Brewster.

They've had a search party out

looking for you for
four to five days.

There'll never be a more

blessed sight than
seeing you two.

(Breathes heavily) Let's
give the leg a try, huh?

Easy now, boys.

Whoa!

I never thought I'd
get to try it again.

How long ago did this happen?

No bones broken.

Oh, I haven't thought...

Three or four days ago.

I can't be too sure.

I just kept passing out.

Five days, according
to the preacher.

We attended church
services for you.

Gave you up for dead.

Would've been too. Only I dug
myself out from deep inside the mine,

where you found me.

Took me three to four
days to get that far.

Then when I started
to see daylight,

some of them beams,
they fell right on top of me.

I've been lying
there ever since.

What are you doing
out here, Mr. Calhoun?

Go get the horses,
barnabas. Right.

I'm out here to look
over this property.

(Chuckles) Well...

There's a silver
lining to everything.

Rescued by the man
I'm doing business with.

Mr. Calhoun, I'm not going
to charge you no $5,000.

I'm gonna give
you the right away.

Afraid it's a
little late for that.

I already own it.

How did you get this?

Miss Anne daugherty
signed it over to me.

How can that be?

Well, she claimed
that you put it up in...

Security for money owed to her.

Poor Annie, she naturally
thought that I was a goner.

She must've been
all broken up, huh?

(Chuckles) Well, she put pieces
back together again pretty quick.

You know, we could straighten
this whole thing out when I get back.

(Chuckles) Annie.

Oh, boy. (Grunts) Let
me ask you something.

How well do you know
this fellow Jim Logan?

Jim Logan?

I don't know him at all.

Claimed he had made a deal
with you for this timberland.

Timberland?

I can't see any timber.

Can you?

No.

Well, now let me ask
you another question.

How many people know
where your mine's located?

I don't know.

Never thought much about it.

It ain't worth much.

Why keep it a secret? (Chuckles)

Why?

Two reasons.

They've been out
looking for you.

If they knew where
your mine was,

then that should've been
the first place to look.

Yet, nobody came near
it for four or five days.

Then on the other hand,

if Jim Logan and Anne
daugherty knew where it was,

then there's a good
strong possibility that

that cave-in wasn't an accident.

No.

Annie wouldn't
do a thing like that.

She couldn't.

Must've been that
fellow, what's his name?

He put her up to it.

Forced her to do it.

It was Anne daugherty all right.

And company.

So she could get $15,000

for this worthless piece of land

instead of the $5,000
for the right of way

that you and I agreed on.

I never thought Annie
would do a thing like that.

Well, unfortunately, I've
met her partner. You haven't.

No, but,

I sure gotta hankering to her.

I'm gonna get my rifle

and blast that Jim Logan.

And I'm gonna make that
jezebel give me back my land.

I don't want to give him
an excuse to finish the job.

You know, there's
an old adage in poker.

Lose and you don't just keep
bucking the other man's game

but you're waiting till
the deck comes to you

and then you play
dealer's choice.

(Laughs)

What?

Wouldn't you like to see
Calhoun's face when he finds out

there's no timber on that hill?

We didn't do anything illegal.

Oh, not so as
anybody could prove.

It's like that banker I
took in San Francisco.

If he explains it to the police,

he's got to explain
it to his wife.

Did I really deal
you a full house?

Three and two are five
and there I am sitting

for the first time in my life, praying
that I'd lose the hand legitimately.

Hmm. (Laughs)

Oh, I'm afraid.

Matching wits with
Calhoun could be

dangerous business.

Oh, Annie, you've
got to admit one thing.

It worked out exactly
the way I'd planned it.

You know, gaffing
Calhoun was about as easy

as melting butter in the sun.

You are a rather
convincing lumberman.

(Both laugh)

To dusty,

the late departed Brewster.

For making all this possible.

Mmm. (Laughs)

I've been rock-hunting 40 years,

I ain't never seen gold
nuggets them pure.

I keep them around for good luck.
Never can tell when I'll need them.

Just don't forget
what they're for.

Oh, I won't forget.
It's almost worth

being buried alive,
just to get back at them.

(Chuckles)

Well, you should come
along to share in the fun.

Oh, I will. Don't forget
who's putting on the party.

Yeah. (Laughs) I didn't forget.

(Laughs) Bye.

You know, I've been thinking.

Hmm?

Annie, why don't
you sell this place,

head off east to somewhere like
saratoga where all the big money is.

Man: Hey! Ho! It's dusty!

Come on everybody!

How are you?

(Indistinct talking)

It's dusty! Hmm?

(Indistinct talking)

I thought you said he...

I wonder how he
could have made it out?

(Excited chattering)

We can talk
about all that later!

Quiet down! Quiet! We
can talk about that later.

Let's have a drink now. Dusty?

Oh, dusty! We've
been grieving for you.

Sure nice to know I
got so many friends.

Dusty, I want you to meet a
friend of mine, Jim Logan. Hello.

Hello.

Any friend of Annie's...

Ah, no. You put your money
away. It's no good here.

Oh, you must be starving.
You want something to eat?

Well, I could sure use
some filling on the inside.

(Laughs)

Kirk, get dusty a plate of the
best on the house. Sure thing.

You're gonna come
over to that table

and you're gonna tell me
everything that's happened.

Well, we ain't even had a
chance to talk to him yet,

miss daugherty, find
out just what happened.

Oh. Fellas, you'll have
your chance. No, we ain't.

I just wanna borrow
him for a minute.

Kirk, drinks are on the house.

Come tell me everything
that's happened.

And I mean everything.

Well, it was a miracle.

God given miracle. A miracle?

I was in the mine digging
and all of a sudden,

there was a big noise,
kinda like an explosion.

And the earth opened.
And when I came to,

there it was. A vein,

solid gold. As big as my arm.

I thought I'd died
and gone to heaven.

But it was true all right.

Annie, I want to thank you
for having so much faith in me.

Go ahead. You can
keep them nuggets,

and I'll pay you the
rest including interest.

In my first trip
back to the mine.

Ah, got the deed handy?

Uh...

Dusty, who else
knows about this?

Not a soul.

We don't want no claim jumpers.

With you, it's
different. You're...

Practically family.

How about the deed?

Oh, you, you dig
in. I'll be right back.

How is he now, miss daugherty?

Now, just give him a few more
minutes. He's just started eating.

Yeah, I reckon you're
right, miss daugherty.

Whatever you say.

Jake, could I see you for
a few minutes over here?

Sure, miss daugherty.

What do you make of these?

Well?

Haven't seen anything like this
since that big strike at Tucson.

Where'd it come from?

Oh, friend of mine sent
them from California.

Oh, yeah? Thanks,
Jake, very much.

That's all right.

(Indistinct talking)

Oh, it's so good
to have you back.

Good food, good friends.

Gold strike. Oh, yeah,

a man couldn't ask
for anything more.

How about the deed?

Oh, I'll get it. It's...

It's in the hotel
safe. Wait a minute.

Maybe I ought to go with you.

Oh, now, you've
been through enough.

Now you stay here. You
finish your meal. And besides,

your friends are chomping
at the bit to hear your story.

I'll be right back.

You just make
sure he stays here.

But Calhoun's got that deed.

Where do you think I'm going?

Now wait a minute.
I can get it quicker.

(Chuckles)

I can get it easier.

(Indistinct talking)

Like the b.P.S & d, Mr. Calhoun.

Right on schedule.

(Knock on door)

Hello. Hello.

Welcome.

Miss daugherty.

Good evening,
Mr. Calhoun. Good evening.

Well, Mr. Calhoun, I think I'll

go off and send that wire
today about the railroad ties.

Good idea.

Well, pleasant surprise.

Sit down. Make
yourself comfortable.

Thank you. What
can I do for you?

(Sighs) Well, I hardly
know where to begin, I...

Well...

(Chuckles) Maybe a little
touch of Brandy would help.

Oh, no, no. Thank you, I...

I rarely indulge.

Well,

that's a rare quality
for a saloon keeper.

(Chuckles) Nothing's
wrong, I hope.

Yes.

I realize now it was unethical

to make you bid
for the right of way.

Well, especially since you and
Mr. Brewster had a previous understanding.

Oh.

Well...

As far as that goes, uh,

so did Logan.

Yes, but I corresponded with you.
I didn't know anything about him.

(Sighs)

Were it not for the
stress of the moment,

I'm sure I would have
thought more clearly.

Hmm, now believe
me, miss daugherty,

I understand.

Business is business.

Yes, but you didn't want that hill.
I practically forced you to buy it.

Well, I'm afraid I
brought it on myself.

Took advantage of your
bereavement in order to

force a closing of the deal.

You see, uh,

well, I've...

I haven't rested
well, fretting about it.

I... Look, miss daugherty,

I... Please, I...

I do wish you'd call me Anne.

Well...

Well, I'd like that very much.

Providing you call me Ben.

And I'd like that.

You see...

I care what you think about me.

You do?

When I came in
that door, it was,

well, just a bad conscience.

(Sighs)

Now...

Well, I don't know exactly
how to explain it but...

Well, it's much more than that.

Well,

I find that very flattering.

Providing, of course, that it's
not just that you feel sorry for me.

Oh, no.

If anything, I feel
sorry for myself. I...

I wanted us to be

good friends.

Then I see no reason
why we can't be.

Made quite an
impression on me, Anne.

Matter of fact, I...

Doubt that I'll ever forget you.

Oh, Ben, you don't know how
much I wanted to hear you say that.

(Chuckles)

I've been pecking away

for 40 years.

Hoping to come up
with the motherlode.

Of course I had to take time
out to keep shoring them walls up.

Yeah. Yeah. Go on, dusty.

Then what happened?

Well, all of a sudden
I hear this rumblin'.

And a boom!

And the tunnel just
closed in on me.

Say, Jim.

How about givin' me
one of them fancy cigars?

Yeah.

There you go. Thank you.

Yeah, there you
was. In the tunnel.

That's right. There
I was in the tunnel.

It was sealed up on one end.

But the other end was open.

Of course, I was jolted.

Knocked out some.

When I come to,

I made my way to the mine open.

And all of a sudden,
there was another cave-in.

And it pinned me down.

And...

Say, mind settin' the
fire to me, Jimmy boy?

Light.

Try again, try again.

(Laughing)

(All laughing) There we go.

Thank you, son. Thank you.

(Laughs) Puff it up.

Get a lot of dirt.

Put dust on your
head, you'll grow hair.

(All laughing)

Oh, now, Ben, I
can't just forget it.

I... I wanna make things right.

Onwards and upwards, huh?

Now I insist on
buying that silly old hill.

You know, it's standing
between us. I can feel it.

Silly for you to
worry about that hill.

True. Maybe I didn't
want it in the beginning,

but once I found out
there was timber on it,

well, we can use it.

Takes a lot of lumber to
build a railroad, you know?

(Chuckles) In that case,

I'll... I'll buy the hill,

and make you a
present of the timber.

You'll get $10,000 dollars,

and you'll still have your
precious right of way.

See?

It all works out in the end.

Hmm?

Yeah.

Almost.

(Chuckles)

But not quite.

Did I forget something?

No.

Not you. I did.

I found out about the timber

and decided to go ahead and,

well, build my own mill.

So like a fool, I went
ahead and ordered

all the equipment for it.

Some $5,000 worth.

$5,000?

Yeah.

Yeah, and if it was just me,

I'd forget about the $5,000
and take the $10,000.

But unfortunately
I've got a partner and...

(Chuckles)

Well, you know how partners are.

So why don't we just

forget the whole thing, huh?

No, I insist, I...

I mean...

I...

I want us to have a...

A fresh start.

I wanna buy the hill, please.

Please?

Hmm? Are you sure
that's what you want?

Hmm.

Among other things.

Well...

Then you've just
bought yourself a hill.

Hmm.

Must have done an awful
lot of fast talking, Mr. Calhoun.

You got the $15,000
back and the right of way.

Not too much talking, barnabas.

More listening.

She's a very convincing lady.

Well, I'll feel a lot better
when Mr. Brewster gets back.

It's old Brewster.

That's not what I mean.

He's got your gold nuggets.
Suppose he just takes off with them?

He won't.

As long as I've got
$5,000 of his money.

He may not be
able to read or write

but as long as he can
count, we don't have to worry.

Doggone it, dusty!

You gonna finish
the story or ain't you?

All right, you don't
have to get mad about it.

Well, there I was

with my legs pinned.

No food, no water.

Just my rifle.

Passin' out, comin' to.

And passin' out again.

Dusty, excuse me.

You're gonna have to
finish your story later.

We have something to discuss.

Doggone, he ain't
even finished yet!

He's just gettin' to the
best part of the story.

(Crowd clamoring)

All right, all right.

You'll have him
back in a few minutes.

In the office, please, dusty.

Oh, all right.

Set up another
round for the boys!

I'm sure Annie won't mind.

(Coughing) It ain't every day

that old dusty comes
back from the grave.

(Coughs)

You bring the deed, Annie?

No, I'm afraid not, dusty.

How is that?

Well, after the services,
when you were pronounced...

Well, I exercised my
option on the land,

and I sold it to another party.

You had no right.

She had every
right in the world.

You forfeited it.

Why did you lie to me?

Saying you were goin'
over to the safe to get it?

I thought I could
get this other party to

let me buy the property back.

But he refused.

Who is this other party?

I'm afraid I can't
divulge his name.

It's a stipulation in the deal.

I ain't forgettin' this.

I'm goin' right
over to the sheriff!

Well, you go right ahead.
She didn't do anything illegal.

You couldn't wait till I
was cold in the grave

to latch onto my
gold mine, could you?

I'm sorry, dusty. I just
wanted to protect myself.

That's why you gave me
the deed in the first place.

Like Lazarus arisen.

What?

Oh, that's a, uh,
biblical reference.

You should go
over the good book.

It might give you solace.

Here you are, dusty. Enjoy
those on your travels. Hmm?

Say, uh,

how about my gold nuggets?

Legally, I own them.

But, well, I suppose you deserve

some kind of memento for
your harrowing experience.

Hmm.

There's just no
justice at all. None.

(Door closing)

(Chuckles)

Every minute I was out there

catering to that old sourdough,

all I could think of was you
coming back through that door

and then everything
would be worth it.

Did you have to give
him the whole $10,000?

Fifteen.

$15,000?

You gave him the
right of way for nothing.

We're flat broke?

What's the difference?

We own a gold mine now.

How many men
would you kill for that?

Here you are. $5,000.

Well, Mr. Calhoun, I think I'll
really send that telegraph today

about the railroad ties.

Go ahead. We can afford it.

I don't know how to
thank you, Mr. Calhoun.

You don't have to pay me.

I oughta pay you.

Pleasure doing
business with you.

Now, I want you
to have the money.

Well, I got things
to do. (Chuckles)

When are you leaving town?

Leaving? I'm not leaving.

I'm gonna get me some new
duds and a fifty-cent pass.

And then I'm gonna find me a lawyer
and get after that Jim Logan fella.

I don't think I'd do that.

Why? That snake
tried to kill me.

I know it. You know it.
Proving it is another thing.

You mean, we're gonna
let him get away with it?

No, but somehow or another,

I think hanging him is gonna
be far less painful to him

than when he finds out there ain't
nothing in that gold mine but dirt.

Put that light over here.

Nothing. (Sighs)

This is the third
shaft we've been in.

Yeah.

It's as if I'm deliberately
trying to avoid finding that gold.

Ah, let's try for number four.

(Crowd clamoring)

Hello, boys. How are you?

Ladies and gentlemen, I want
you to meet my good friends,

Ben Calhoun and barnabas Rogers.

Boy, we're gonna have
some music tonight!

(Crowd cheering)

You got some instruments?

You got a harmonica?

I can play one number on there.

Let it go, son. Let it go!

(Harmonica playing)

Boy, he don't play that
one any too good either.

He needs some help.
Who plays the fiddle?

Man: Me! Come on!

There you go!

(Singing indistinctly)

(Crowd cheering)

Takes more air than I got.

That'll be one red eye.

And one sarsaparilla.

Oh, nice. Ain't it too bad

Jim Logan and Annie
can't be here to enjoy it?

(Laughing)

They'll be looking for
gold for quite some time.

(Laughs) For eternity.

Ow.

I haven't seen anything that
even remotely resembles gold.

(Sighs) If you'd just
waited until daylight

instead of dragging me out
here in the middle of the night.

What's the difference? Night
or day, it's just as black in here.

Oh, my feet hurt.

Mine, too.

I'm telling you
I'm not giving up

until I find that gold.

(Sighs) But who knows
how many tunnels there are.

Dusty must know.

You threw him out, remember?

Yeah, but I don't remember
you making much objection

to the fact that I did.

Well, there's just one thing
to do. Get dusty to show us.

All right. Let's go.

(Cheering)

All right. Poker game's over.

Oh, wait a while,
Mr. Calhoun. I'm playing poker.

That's your plan of suicide.

Who are you? His keeper?

Why don't you
and the rest of you

go out there and
dance with the others?

That'd be a lot more fun

than taking candy
away from a baby.

Okay, Mr. Calhoun.

I was playing a
hunch and I felt lucky.

Yeah.

I'll just have nothing to
do with winning at poker

drawn to an inside straight. It's
like going fishing without a bait.

In order to win at poker, you've got to
have a mind that can do a lot of things.

Have a good memory,
you've to watch the cards

that've been
dealt, playing stud.

And remember, the
cards aren't turned over.

(Harmonica playing)

You jezebel...

Dusty, I have a business
proposition I wanna talk over with you.

I'm sure you're gonna
be interested in it.

I ain't gonna talk any
proposition over with you.

With him ever.

Never hurts to listen, dusty.

Thank you, Mr. Calhoun.

It's always nice to have a
railroad man in your corner.

Yeah.

I must admit I was a
little disappointed when...

When I found out that
your desire to own the land

was not over your
concern for me, but...

All's fair in love and
commerce, hmm?

I suppose so.

It's your move now,
miss daugherty.

I ain't gonna listen to nothing.

Unless Mr. Calhoun is
there to listen to it with me.

I wouldn't have it
any other way, dusty.

We'll go into my private
office and discuss it.

You folks, you keep
on having fun, all right?

Man: Yeah.

(Music playing)

Dusty, we're going to
lay our cards on the table.

You've done some things to us

and we did some things to you.

We're stalemated.

I ain't stalemated.
I got the $5,000.

Yeah, but you no longer have
that favorite mountain of yours

with the gold mine in it. We do.

I don't want nothing to do
with that mine. Or with you.

It never hurts to listen, dusty.

And I've heard you say
at least a dozen times

in the short time
that I've known you

how much you'd like to
build a cabin on that hill.

You don't think he's gonna give me
that right, do you? And she won't either.

This spiteful, double-crossing,
mean ornery female.

Right, dusty. I agree. I
have been those things.

Listen, dusty. We're
not gonna spend

half our lives hunting through

all of those shafts
looking for that gold vein.

So we're willing to
offer you 25% interest

if you tell us
where the gold is.

I wouldn't show you
the inside of a dirty sock.

50%.

You must be hard
of hearing, jimzy.

The man's making
you a fair offer, dusty.

Got your pad with you, barnabas?

Write this down.

I, Anne daugherty,

hereby transfer ownership

50% of the gold mine

located on Brewster mountain

to osgood dusty Brewster,

plus

all the lands
surrounding that mine

formerly owned by Mr. Brewster.

He didn't say anything before

about the land surrounding it.

Forget the land, Annie.
We're not interested

in that land around
it. It's worthless.

Well.

To everybody except dusty there.

All I ever wanted to do was

build a cabin on that mountain.

In return for which

osgood dusty Brewster

will show Anne daugherty

the exact location

of the source of the nuggets

he'd shown her
on a prior occasion.

Got it.

Satisfactory?

Yeah.

All right, dusty.

Show 'em the
location of the nuggets.

That's where I got the nuggets.

From Mr. Calhoun.

Right out of the safe from
Mr. Calhoun's private car.

They're the b.P.S
& d lucky pieces.

That's all the gold there is?

There isn't any more, jimzy.

(Shouts indistinctly)

Three-to-one on Mr. Calhoun.

I never take the
short end of the odds.

(Crowd shouting indistinctly)

(Shouts indistinctly)

(Cheering)

You're my kind of man, Ben.

Not sure I'd take
that as a compliment.

But I will.

Thank you.

That's your man in there.

He's gonna be
needing you about now.

Barnabas.

(Crowd cheering)
