Buck Gonzales and his outfit.

He's a bad one.

We'd better be moseyin' along.

Come on, gang.

Boy, will I tip them over tonight.

- Hello, Toby. - Hiya, buck.

- Drinks for the crowd. - Okay, buck.

- Bourbon for me. - Make mine scotch.

- Beer. - Bourbon.

- Gimme a shot of rye. - Beer.

- Double whiskey. - That rounds all set.

That sounds right. Give me a wubble dhiskey.

Or a double whaskey. Whabble... aw, gimme a Coca-Cola.

Where's Cleo?

She's around somewhere.

She's a grand girl.

You better watch out, buck.

Cleo's very popular.

You ain't got no claim staked out on her.

You ain't married to her.

Married?

No, I ain't never asked her.

Boss, they say that five minutes with her,

and a guy's lucky to get away with his vaccination.

Cut it.

What's the matter, baby?

Don't you like me anymore?

Sure. I'm just relaxin'.

When I make love, do I make love.

Are you askin' me or tellin' me?

Say you love me, baby.

Why should 17?

What excuse has a gal like you for runnin' around single?

I was born that way.

I'd like to take you away from all this.

All this?

Oh, I get ya.

Yeah, for a long time, I was ashamed of the way I live.

You mean to say you reformed?

No, I got over bein' ashamed.

Okay, what are you tryin' to do, flag a train?

Cleo, buck Gonzales is downstairs

looking all over for you.

I thought you might like to know.

It's a good thing he didn't look in here.

Come on, let's go or you'll compromise me.

Hey, what's the rush? Where's the fire?

In your eyes, big boy. In your eyes.

Hello, Cleo. How about it?

See ya later.

Hello, Cleo. How about a dance?

See ya later, boy.

Let's you and I melt into this music.

All right, sizzlin' man.

Hello, Cleo. I've been lookin' for ya.

Hey, wait a minute.

- Beat it you. - Beat it where?

Listen. Always clownin', huh?

Come here. I wanna talk to you.

See you later, honey.

Cowboy, still knockin' 'em over, huh?

Any other dame, I wouldn't give a hoot.

When it comes to you, I'm dynamite.

Yes, and I'm your match.

You know, I've been doing a lot of thinking about you lately.

Must be awfully tired.

What are they doin' now?

If there was music, I'd say they was dancin'.

Ohl

you know I always took what I wanted.

I guess the boys'll give me the laugh,

but I want you so much,

I wanna marry you.

Well, that's darn white of ya.

I mean it, honey.

I wanna marry you.

Marriage.

That'd be a new kind of racket for me.

I'm rich. I'll give you everything.

Yes, everything I own.

My ranch, the whole works.

Certainly make it sound attractive.

Then say you'll do it.

Tell you what I'll do.

I'll roll you whether I do or I don't.

What do you say?

It's a go.

Ladies first.

Ooh. Thank you.

Let me get this straight.

If I win, I don't marry ya,

but I get that strip of land on the delta.

And if you lose, you'll marry me.

Yes, and I get everything you've got.

Right.

Put it in writin'.

Sure, sure. I promise.

Wow! This is my lucky day.

Well, you took me.

You're all mine now, honey.

Well, what's happening?

She got him toped ride...

Ripe toed... she's got him

tie roped and beddy for randing.

Randy for bedding... She's got him ready.

You ain't scared of me

'cause they say I'm a bad man?

I'm a good woman for a bad man.

We'll get married right away tonight.

I'll get the justice of the peace out of bed...

Wait a minute. Don't rush me.

What's the matter?

It's gonna take me two weeks to get my trousseau.

- You're what? - My trousseau. Weddin' clothes to you.

I'm a girl that likes nice things.

Two weeks is a long time to wait.

Oh, I'll see what I can do about it.

Set 'em up. The drinks are on me.

We're celebratin', folks.

Two weeks from today,

Cleo and me are gonna be married.

Speech, speech!

Well, I'm a woman of very few words,

but lots of action.

Well, hello, sheriff.

Just in time to join us in a little drink.

I don't drink with a cattle rustler.

I thought cattle rustlin' was stopped in these here parts.

That's what a lot of people think.

But it ain't never stopped with fellas like buck Gonzales around.

That's right, laugh.

Laugh while you can.

Someday, I'm going to get you and get you right.

Oh, buck ain't got nothin' bad on his mind but me.

Excuse me a minute, baby.

I wanna talk to the sheriff.

- Where you goin', Cleo? - Be right back, boys.

Say, I hear you're gonna marry buck Gonzales.

How'd you ever get him?

I just won him in a crap game.

The sheriff.

Open the gate and stampede these steers.

I came here from the east four years ago.

I don't know anything about

buck Gonzales' outside transactions,

but I can assure you, sheriff,

that I've kept the books of this ranch

perfectly straight.

I don't doubt you, Mr. winslow.

I've been foreman here for five years,

and none of us know anything about this business.

There's a car comin' up the road now. Must be her.

This is gonna be a terrible shock to her

- on her weddin' day. - Yeah.

Hello, sheriff. Awfully nice of you

to take a day off to come to the wedding.

What's the matter with you boys?

I thought you were gonna greet me with some wild shootin'.

You're a tame bunch.

Pardon me, Cleo, but there's a reason,

and it ain't gonna be easy to explain it on your wedding day.

You mean something happened to buck.

Yes, miss. I'm sorry but it couldn't be helped.

Oh. Show me where he is.

I feel sorry for her.

Yeah.

May I offer my condolences?

It's been a good deal of a shock to us all.

Yeah. I made a bargain and I was gonna stick to it.

I don't keep souvenirs.

Maybe you'd like this.

What is it?

It's an agreement between buck and me.

Guess it's the first time he ever agreed with anyone.

Why, that's his signature.

Yeah, he signed it, if that's what you mean.

The sheriff sealed it.

I'm not so sure.

This says that in consideration of your consenting to marry him,

buck signs over all his property to you.

Yeah, but he got shot first.

You kept your part of the bargain.

You did consent, didn't you?

I certainly did. Twice.

Hmm. Well, then I think this is a matter for the law to decide.

You don't mean that I...

Well, that'll help pay for my feelings.

Well, miss borden, after due deliberation

the court has decided

that all the holdings and properties

of the deceased, buck Gonzales,

belong to you.

You've acted in good faith,

and you've done your best to fulfill your bargain.

Judge, wherever there's a man concerned,

I always do my best.

Now, as one of the richest women in our state,

let me advise you to look out for crooks.

We'll let the crooks look out for themselves.

What's next on the program?

The next is for you to check over these.

You check 'em over.

I can't do that. You see, this is my final accounting

for the Gonzales estate, and if it's satisfactory,

then my work is through.

What do you mean, through?

I mean I finished my job.

Imagine this guy, judge?

After he gets me into the big money,

he wants to walk out on me.

No, really, it's time for me to get back east.

Listen, I'm gonna pay you a salary

that'll be positively indecent for you to turn down.

Very kind of you.

What do you say?

All right, I suppose I'll have to stay

to look after the cattle and the men for you.

You've covered quite a few miles, miss Cleo.

I'm used to that.

Only on the dance floor, it was my feet that hurt.

I guess you've seen about all the ranch now

except the oll field.

I was over there yesterday.

Yeah? Everything suit you?

Especially that good-lookin' boss.

You mean carrington, the englishman.

That what he is? Kinda thought that body looked imported.

You give him good ride today.

Yesterday no good.

Ugh.

Nice animal.

That's cactus, the fastest horse in the west.

Buck was gonna race him this winter.

Just a little gun-shy, miss Cleo.

Ride him with a firecracker, and he'd beat man o' warr.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, didn't I tell you fellas not to shoot guns

in front of that horse?

Be all right if they wouldn't scare him.

After he knows you better,

he'll follow you around like a dog.

I hope he don't take a notion and jump up in my lap.

Sorry not to bring Mr. carrington back with me.

He couldn't come.

You mean he refused?

Well, no, not exactly that.

He objected to coming while he was working on the oil Wells.

I'll remove those.

- The oil Wells? - No, the objections.

I want you to pay particular attention to this.

You know, I'm leaving in a few days.

You'll have to carry on without me.

Where's the company sending you now, to Siberia?

No. Just Buenos Aires.

If these gushers come in the way we hope,

Gonzales' heiress will be one of the richest women in the world.

I don't suppose she'd know what to do with it.

You know her?

Seen her, heard her.

Impressed?

I'm afraid she's rather crude oil.

Get a good chisel edge on it.

Get it right out to Gauge.

Hey, handsome!

Lady's callin' you.

Yes, I heard her.

She wants to talk to you.

Sorry, I'm too busy.

He's too busy.

Oh, he wants to be coaxed.

- No... - I know what I'm doing.

Look here, what do you mean by shooting at me?

I don't have to be a target, you know.

Not even for somebody like you.

What do you know about me?

Just what I see. That's quite sufficient.

So you're easily satisfied.

What do you want with me?

Nothin' yet.

You possess an extraordinary sense of humor.

Yes, and that ain't all.

I'm afraid you'll have to excuse me.

I'm rather busy for this sort of chitchat.

Oh, english, huh?

Yes. Do you mind?

No, I rather like it.

Gimme room, boys.

Put that ten-inch bit into the furnace.

Chitchat.

You know, I like that guy.

Well, you can hardly hope to win a man treating him that way.

Oh, yeah?

Say, listen, as long as he's drillin' holes in my property,

I wanna know what it's all about.

And you see that he gets over to my place tonight,

and brings his blueprints.

All right, miss Cleo.

I'll check up on that guy.

- Hello, boys. - Good evening.

What about them 2,000 head of cattle for Chicago?

- All right, let 'em go. - Yes, ma'am.

Well, you look very charming.

As good as an oil well?

An oil well?

Yeah, there's a guy droppin' in here

that ain't got anything else on his mind.

Oh, carrington.

Comin' to make a report. After he leaves,

I might be able to give you one.

My dear, I'm afraid you don't quite understand about carrington.

He's a man, ain't he?

- Yes. - That's all I gotta know.

What I mean to say is,

he's the type of person who would only be

deeply interested in someone in his own social stratum.

Stratum.

What's that, something I ain't got?

If you'll forgive my saying so,

there's a certain amount of, well, background

that you haven't had the opportunity of acquiring.

Oh, you mean I ain't exactly a lady.

Never mind. Our little bet still goes.

All right.

But I'm afraid you're gonna lose.

I'll make him forget he ever saw a stratum.

Good evening.

Well, we'll agree on that anyway. Come in.

I've brought everything you asked for.

So I see.

Well, uh, shall we get down to business?

Yeah. Sit down.

Thank you.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

- Drink? - No, thank you.

What, no vices?

I'm afraid we aren't getting anywhere.

Ooh, did you notice that, too?

Go ahead, go ahead.

Now this map represents your entire property.

This curved portion is the main body,

and this is the undeveloped territory.

We'll have to do something about that.

These shaded areas are those indicated

in the geological survey as being oil bearing.

You amaze me.

Quite interesting, quite interesting.

These circles Mark the location

of the Wells drilled to date.

As you can see, we've covered

the entire field very thoroughly.

Isn't it possible there's something you've overlooked?

Positively not.

Everything that looked in the least encouraging

has been taken care of.

I can assure you that all this property,

you are getting the most out of.

- How can you be so sure? - Look for yourself.

Why, you'd be surprised

at the things that don't show up on a map.

Not if you know how to read them.

Everything on this property

that's at all worthwhile is right here on this paper.

Well, that's encouraging.

So you do understand?

Yeah.

Come on. Why don't you release those brakes?

Brakes? I don't know what you mean.

No? Well, you know I was buck Gonzales' choice, don't ya?

You've heard of him.

Yes, I knew the bandit.

Bandit. Oh!

You're one of those guys with principles, eh?

Kinda different, ain't ya?

Look here.

You can't expect me to be very sociable

after the crude way you treated me today.

I'll admit I was a little crude,

but you like me.

I admire your conceit.

I know. You've been used to dames

that serve pink tea and stick out their little fingers

when they drink it. But I like ya anyway.

You know, this is the first time

I ever came in contact with a woman like you.

Well, if I can help it, it won't be the last.

I can be different if I want to.

You're a dangerous woman.

Thanks.

You look good to me, too.

Come here.

What's the matter? You afraid of me?

Afraid of you?

Yeah.

Oh, hello, gents.

I'm sorry, miss Cleo.

That's all right.

You guys should never bet with me.

This kind of stuff is my specialty.

You seem to be having a delightful time at my expense.

Would you mind telling me what it's all about?

Ooh, yes, yes, yes.

These gentlemen and I had a little bet that you couldn't...

Be made a fool of. Is that it?

You succeeded nobly, didn't you?

I gotta get this signed, please, ma'am.

All I need is a little more time to work on that guy.

Yes.

Thank you, ma'am.

Trouble is, I'm afraid you won't have the opportunity.

He - no? E's going away

goin' away? Why didn't you tell me? Where's he goin'?

His company is sending him to Buenos Aires.

Bonus heiress? You mean down south America?

Where the races are.

I've been reading about that in here.

Is she a lady?

Mrs. crane brittony? Yes, I should say that she was.

Hm. He'll be finding a lot of them down there, won't he?

Naturally.

He'll find one he don't expect.

What do you mean?

I mean I'm gonna take a shot at this lady business,

and you gotta help me.

- I'll do everything I can. - It'll take more than that.

First step to my education is gonna be an ocean trip.

To Buenos Aires?

Yes, and I'm gonna put that horse cactus

in the international sweepstake.

Well, that's a surprise.

Do you consider yourself a good judge of horse flesh?

I don't know. I never ate any.

Big difference in this dump and the joint I used to work in.

Not "dump." "This place.”

Well, it's the same thing.

Do you wish a table?

Where they takin' the bets for tomorrow's races?

Oh, that's in the bar, madame.

That's a good place for it.

Lead on, big boy, lead on.

Who is she?

Why, haven't you heard?

You don't say.

Which one of them dames is a lady?

You never point. They're all model ladies.

I guess these guys must be gentlemen,

with all their white shirts on.

Clothes alone don't make the gentleman.

I found that out.

- Here you are, madame. - Ten on montezuma.

Five hundred on montezuma.

Cientos pesos on montezuma.

Two hundred on Bonnie Lassie.

Five hundred on montezuma.

Montezuma seems to be head man around here.

Yes, definitely the favorite.

I'll put a stop to that.

One thousand plasters on cactus.

Mil pesos per cactus.

Cactus, the American horse?

Yeah.

Waiter, give me a shot of...

Two creme de cocoas, please.

That's what I meant.

Vodka.

Vodka”? What's that, name of a horse or a drink?

That, madame, is a famous Russian drink.

You think of vodka, you think of Russia.

When you drink it, you think of everything.

I don't need vodka for that.

Oh, excuse me.

Permit me to introduce myself.

I am Vladimir steranovitch zanin.

Oh, you don't say.

Well, my name's a couple of inches shorter than yours.

I'm Cleo borden, and this is Mr. winslow.

Happy to meet you.

I beg your pardon, Cleo.

Save your dignity. It's all in fun.

Well...

Say, ain't that the dame in the magazine?

Yes. Mrs. crane brittony.

Who's the bullfighter she's got in tow?

He's not a bullfighter. He's also a Russian.

But I want you to understand,

there are Russians and Russians.

You don't care for him, huh?

You're right.

Too bad. He looks like quite a gent.

Gentleman.

That's all right. I was just abbreviatin'.

Three hundred on montezuma.

- A hundred on viceroy. - Yes, ma'am.

Two thousand on Bonnie Lassie, please.

Five grand on cactus. Right on the nostril.

My dear young lady, aren't you a trifle over-optimistic

about that horse?

No, honey, I'm just being conservative.

But Bonnie Lassie is a derby winner.

To me, a derby is just a hat.

You'll find out the difference tomorrow.

That calls for a side bet.

Name your figure.

Of course, if you want to be so foolish.

Shall we say 10,000 at prevailing odds?

Make it 20 and I'll call it a deal.

That's satisfactory.

We'll settle it at the track tomorrow.

All right, I'll trust ya.

Um... cigarette me, cossack.

It's a pleasure to be of service

to la blonde americaine.

Mmmm.

Call your shots, don't ya?

Come, Ivan. We must be going.

Buenos noches.

Same to you. Hasta manana.

I didn't know you spoke Spanish.

Don't think I worked in Tijuana for nothin'.

At the stables

where the horses for tomorrow's race are quartered,

there's a certain horse in stall eight

that positively must be kept from running in tomorrow's sweepstakes.

Apart from the money I should lose

if that horse should win,

his owner needs a lesson in keeping her place

that she won't forget.

Should you enjoy being richer by a few thousand?

Now you interest me.

- You'll do it? - Why not?

Then now's the time to do it.

You get out here. Stop the car, Rodgers.

Stables aren't far from here.

You may decide for yourself what means you wish to employ.

It will be done.

But didn't we speak about money?

The rest tomorrow.

Yeah, show me the silver one.

Bien, madame.

I hope you're satisfied with your gowns.

Everything else seems to be going smoothly.

Have you heard anything about carrington?

I hope I ain't doin' all this for nothin'.

Oh, he's here, all right.

I made discreet inquiries.

You think he'll be at the races tomorrow?

I shouldn't be surprised.

I hope you're right.

Can you imagine me fallin' for that guy?

And I'm supposed to be a smart dame

that knows all the answers.

And I guess the answer to that is,

there's no one too smart for love.

Good night, my dear.

Good night, winslow.

Montezuma, 500 pesos.

Thank you.

No, don't.

No. Pardon me.

- Oh, hello. - How do you do?

Madame, I am so thrilled at seeing you again.

For one kiss of your lips,

I would give half of my life.

See me tomorrow, I'll kiss you twice.

Bon jour, Ivan.

Madame, may I introduce captain du pont.

Famous soldier of fortune.

- Oh, a hero. - Correct, madame.

Madame, lieutenant mendoza, senor Alvarez.

Hiya, boys.

I'm sorry. I didn't get your name.

That's not your fault. You tried hard enough.

Where have I seen your lovely face before?

Same place you see it now.

There's one in a million.

Figuratively speaking.

She's that much-talked about cattle queen

who was going to run cactus.

Oh, yes, I've heard of her.

They struck oil on her ranch. She's worth millions.

Shocking what sort of people have money nowadays.

Mrs. brittony.

May I speak to you alone?

Fletcher, I'll join you later at the bar.

I want to explain.

Isn't that cactus?

That's what I want to explain.

Trying to carry out your orders,

I got into trouble. I was unsuccessful.

So I see.

Sorry, boys, but this is private.

How's everything, huh?

Cactus not sleep last night.

Me think him catch cold.

Caught cold?

That would have to happen now.

Come here.

Listen, I'm not takin' any chances around here

after what happened last night.

There's an extra bonus for you

if you beat cactus.

I don't care how you do it. Anything goes.

Remember, you stand at the three-quarter pole,

- and keep your eye on me. - Yes, lady.

Here, senor carrington.

Rub montezuma's nose for good luck.

Remember you are wearing the Lopez colors.

Do them honor.

Si, senor.

Listen, laughing eagle,

remember you're wearin' my colors.

So bring home the bacon.

Fancy meeting you in Buenos Aires.

The astonishment is mutual.

I'm glad we've got that much in common.

Still keep on the brakes?

;, quien es ese mujer?

No lo conozco.

Well, it's been awfully nice to see you,

but I'm afraid I should have to join my party.

Don't skid.

Yeah.

- A friend? - Yes.

Where's he sittin'?

Box next to us, my dear.

That's great.

Program?

Would you mind?

Thank you.

Who you playing?

Montezuma, of course.

Mm, I thought so. Too bad. You're gonna lose.

What's that? Who's going to lose?

Yeah, you, too.

I bet you 50 grand even money that montezuma don't win.

What means 50 grand?

Dollars to you. 50,000 of 'em.

Oh, papa, take her.

Yeah, try and get me.

Oh, madame.

I will bet with you.

That's perfect.

Don't be foolish, Cleo.

I should say, miss borden.

I know what I'm doin', honey.

I should say, Mr. carrington.

Well, it's your money.

Brava. You are a grand sport.

If I only had the right to lead you to your true greatness.

Yeah, it ain't a bad idea.

Hiya, pal.

How about that little bet?

It's satisfactory.

Isn't that your boyfriend with her?

Yes, the traitor.

- Glasses. - Certainly.

Thank you.

It's all right.

Flota first, montezuma second,

Bonnie Lassie third, running easily.

Cactus coming up on the inside.

- Did you see that? - Yes. I get it.

Come on, cactus, you can still win!

And therefore,

it is a great privilege and a great honor

to extend to miss Cleo borden

not only our heartiest congratulations,

but also, on behalf of true fellow sportsmen

the world over.

I am sure miss borden

would like to say a few words to us.

Oh, delighted.

This ought to be amusing.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I had a swell speech all figured out on paper

for the occasion, but I left it home on the piano.

I certainly appreciate you throwin' this party for me.

As far as the success of me and my horse goes,

all I can say is,

we came, we saw, we conquered.

Thank you.

I gave 'em class, didn't I?

Ivan, you seem to have money tonight.

Where did you get it?

Ah, that's my secret.

To your, uh, la blonde americaine.

And to her millions, which will be soon mine.

You are lucky, Ivan.

You have got what you have always been after.

Woman like her should be proud of getting Ivan valadov.

Look here, sir.

When you speak of miss borden, be careful what you say.

Don't make me laugh, sefor.

You are doing pretty well yourself

with the rich senorita Lopez.

I suppose her millions do not interest you.

You swine.

Someday you will pay for this.

I thought you was a gentleman.

Fightin' in a bar, smackin' around my friend.

- Your friend, eh? - Yes. What's it to you?

Oh, nothing. Only I pick my friends.

Yes, to pieces. Come on, I-Van.

My darling, my sweet.

My lovely one.

Never mind that. I got all the oil I want.

Darling, I just found out that it's you I'm in love with.

You are the only one for me after all.

After all what?

Oh, darling, I love you, I love you!

I must have you. Marry me.

Listen, I-Van,

you're all right to play around with,

but as a husband, you'd get in my hair.

But, darling...

What do you mean?

I'm intellectual, and you're opposite.

Let me tell you, I am an aristocrat

and a backbone of my family.

Well, your family oughta see a chiropractor.

Where do you think you're going?

I don't think that should interest you.

Oh, yes, it does. I got plenty to say to you.

I'd rather you said it to that Russian friend of yours.

You seem very devoted to him.

You and I have nothing in common.

What do you mean, nothin' in common?

Ain't I worth millions?

Ain't I climbin' the social ladder?

Ain't I mixin' with swell people?

I can get anything money can buy. What more do you want?

Certainly not your money, that's means nothing to me.

There are a lot of people who think the way you do,

but you're sadly mistaken about the importance of your wealth.

There happen to be a few things beyond the reach of money.

Yeah? For instance?

Natural good breeding, for one thing. Culture for another.

Oh, I see.

You'd like to have my ancestors go over

and come back on the mayflower, is that it?

No. I'm simply making clear to you

what my own standards are.

What I'm accustomed to expect from the people I associate with.

When you got plenty of money,

you can get any kind of friends you want.

You mean parasites like your friend Ivan.

Leave my friends out of this.

- Leave me out of it, too. - I can do that.

Why do I have to like that guy?

Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you.

Listen, winslow, I gotta get a good name.

A what?

I gotta be a lady now if it kills me, and you, too.

Ain't there some quick way without a lot of red tape?

If it's social position you want, there's always marriage.

That's perfect. All right, you find me a guy with a good name,

blue blood in his veins and red ink in his bank book,

and I'll put a deposit on him tonight.

Well, there's a man not so active,

but he's a bachelor.

The legs were beautifully carved.

Clinton hungerford.

He collects antiques.

You think he'd last till I got him home?

Number eight black.

Oh, I win!

Any more checks, Mr. Colton?

Yes, yes.

Why don't you stop, old man?

Don't worry. My luck'll change.

All bets down.

Are you playing, miss borden?

Yeah, I'll take a crack at it. 5,000 please.

19 red.

Any more checks, Mr. Colton?

I'm through.

Place your bet.

Too bad, Colton. Your luck was miserable tonight.

Yeah, I'm broke.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Why not?

Give me that. Give it to me.

You've had bad luck tonight, haven't you?

Yeah. They cleaned me.

Sit down.

I want to talk to you.

May sound a little odd at first,

but I want you to listen.

How would you like to step into a fortune?

Are you trying to be funny?

On the contrary, I'm being quite serious.

I'll be frank with you.

I came here to make a deal.

A deal?

Yes. The Colton name and social position

for a generous fortune.

Colton name”?

Fortune?

I see what you mean, but it's out of the question.

I couldn't do a thing like that.

Ah.

Too bad.

Wait a minute.

Who is she?

Miss Cleo borden.

The oil millionairess.

29 black. She wins again.

This is the most embarrassing position I've ever been in.

On the contrary, you ought to feel yourself rather fortunate.

If you'll excuse me, I'll tell miss borden that you're here.

And if you don't mind, I think I'll have a drink.

- I need it. - Yes. Help yourself.

How'd you make out?

Everything's practically set.

He's waiting in the next room.

I'll put the finishing touches to him. Come on.

And by the way, I might tell you

that he's Mrs. crane brittony's nephew.

What, that dame?

Oh, ain't this a hot coincidence?

Lead me to him.

My dear, Mr. Fletcher Colton.

Miss borden.

- How do you do? - How do you do?

Well, you made a swell deal, if you ask me.

Mr. Colton felt a little strange about all this.

Did you make it clear that this was just a business proposition?

Oh, yes, yes.

Nothing against you personally,

because you look pretty good to me and all that,

but I just wanna let you know where you stand.

I think I understand.

You're simply buying your way into society

through my position in it, and nothing more.

That's short and sweet. I couldn't put it better myself.

All we need now is to settle the details for the wedding.

Yeah, give society something to talk about,

'cause I'm gonna be Mrs. Fletcher Colton

of New York, Miami, and southampton.

By golly, the new Mrs. Colton

must be one of them there circus bareback riders.

One thing's sure, Michael.

Life will be a circus around here from now on.

All right, throw it out.

Yes, ma'am.

- Storehouse. - Yes, ma'am.

Throw it out.

And please tell her that with me are Mrs. plunkett,

Mrs. pillsbury, and Mrs. cranford.

We would like to see her at once.

But of course.

And with Mrs. brittony are Mrs. plunkett,

Mrs. pillsbury, and Mrs. cranford.

Watch the fun.

This is positively shocking.

I think it's beautiful, but I wouldn't tell her.

I should hope not.

There isn't a trace of one of my ancestors left.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Charming of you. Won't you sit down?

- Will you have some tea? - No, thank you.

I suppose you came here to congratulate me.

We did. We think you have done extremely well.

Of course, when I met you in bonus airs,

I didn't think we'd ever be related.

Speaking of relatives, Mrs. Colton,

have your ancestors ever been traced?

Well, yes, but they were too smart, they couldn't catch 'em.

I don't suppose you'll want to stay in southampton very long.

And what gave you that idea?

Oh, a little birdy told me.

Birdy must've been a little cuckoo.

I'm afraid you're going to find it rather quiet here,

after the way you're used to living.

Don't let that worry you.

I expect to put life in the old joint...

I mean the old place.

Oh, dear. In what way?

Well, you see, uh,

this being the social season down here,

I figured I'd toss a few parties

with a select crowd. You're invited.

Of course, I realize you're an ambitious young woman.

I can see exactly why you married my nephew.

I know what you have in mind.

Go right ahead. I'm resting.

You know, I could give you some good advice, if you asked me.

You don't ask your enemy how to win the war.

Are you suggesting I'm your enemy?

You certainly didn't come here as a friend.

Let me tell ya, you're only wastin' your time.

Oh, so you intend to force yourself upon us.

Force myself on who?

Listen, sister, don't forget I'm Mrs. Fletcher Colton

of New York, Miami, and southampton.

You... you...

Ooh, I'll drive you out of southampton.

I wonder if they'll ever come back.

After they hear what I'm gonna do, they'll fight to come back.

My dear, what are you up to now?

Something I've been plannin' for a long time.

Yes? What is it?

I'm gonna give 'em some high-class entertainment

that'll put another 0 in the 400.

Yes, but what sort of entertainment?

Oh, nice, clean entertainment.

I'm gonna throw 'em an opera.

Opera?

Yeah, and you've gotta make arrangements right away

to get me a tenor to play Samson.

Do you mean to tell me that you're going to attempt Samson and Delilah?

Listen, I'll attempt anything once.

And what's more, I'm gonna sing Delilah.

I got a lot of respect for that dame.

That's one lady barber that made good.

Remember, Donovan, this is no ordinary case.

It requires diplomacy and tact.

Well, I've been a successful private dick

for 15 years.

If I had my due, I'd be police commissioner.

Yes.

Mrs. brittony is here.

Have her come in.

Step out a few minutes, Donovan.

Sure.

Come right in, Mrs. brittony.

Thank you.

Everything is working out nicely.

I've instructed the detective.

I'm expecting Ivan valadov here any minute.

He arrived from Buenos Aires this morning.

Splendid, brash. You always were thorough.

You know, of course, that this will be an expensive undertaking.

I'll spare no cost to disgrace that woman

and drive her out of southampton.

Good. And if we can depend on valadov to do his part,

the results should be even better than that.

Since it's known that valadov formerly courted her,

and with the evidence we hope to get,

we'll have sufficient to demand a divorce for Colton.

You don't need to worry about Ivan valadov going through with it.

I happen to know what sort of rodent he is.

What is it?

Mr. valadov is here.

Send him in.

Mr. brash?

I'm Ivan valadov.

How do you do?

You know Mrs. brittony.

Of course I do.

I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. brittony quite well.

Send Donovan in.

It was very charming of you to send for me.

Only because the situation demands your particular talents.

Now this is the plan.

Listen carefully, Donovan. You, too, Mr. valadov.

Mrs. Colton is giving an elaborate entertainment

on the Colton estate on the night of August 17th.

I think that's Saturday night. Let's see.

Yes. Donovan, I want you...

Mr. and Mrs. pillsbury.

How lovely of you to have included us.

Charming of you to come.

- How do you do? - How do you do?

Mrs. crane brittony.

Delighted to see you again, my dear.

You look perfectly stunning.

Ha ha ha.

- The Earl of Stratton. - A real Earl.

If carrington could only see me now.

Where did you come from?

England.

You mean this title stuff is on the level?

It's genuine?

Of course.

May I have the pleasure of the first dance?

It would be a privilege and an honor to dance with

the Earl of Stratton.

Isn't there some place we could be alone?

There are so many things I want to talk to you about.

So many things you'll have to answer for, too.

All right. Where should we go?

Right this way.

Colton, may I see you a minute, please?

Why, surely.

Pardon me, gentlemen.

About this iou.

You promised to settle up with me two weeks ago.

I must have the money tonight.

Tonight? I don't see how...

If you don't, then I'll just have to approach Mrs. Colton for it.

No, don't disturb her, rand.

I'll get it for you tonight, without fail.

Those are the windows of her room.

I gotcha.

You better keep your eye on that Indian.

You might find out something interesting about them.

Say, when this guy Ivan gets through with her,

we'll have plenty.

Well, I suppose I have myself to blame for losing you.

But how on earth was I to know that you really cared for me?

Couldn't you tell out at the ranch that I did?

Don't you think your method of showing it

was a little unusual?

Shooting off my hat and roping me like a steer?

Do you know you might've killed me?

I'll admit I was a little uncouth,

but you did like me.

You know I did.

But I tried to conceal it the best way I could.

Oh, holdin' out on me, huh?

Those are the windows of her room.

Get in there while the entertainment is on

so you'll be there when she gets back.

Don't worry.

And be sure and get her in front of the window

so I can see you at the right time.

You will see plenty, my friend.

You see, I wanted to get in the social register,

and you insinuated I wasn't exactly a lady,

but I'm surprised...

Yeah, you're full of surprises yourself.

I didn't know you were nobility.

I had no title then.

I meant to tell you that night in Buenos Aires

that I was going home to straighten out some family affairs.

I meant to tell you that I was mad about you.

Always have been.

You've got to believe that.

I didn't say you could kiss me.

Remember you once told me to release my brakes.

Yeah, but why did you wait so long?

I'm not gonna wait any longer.

I love you.

We've got to find some way out of this.

All right, my lord, it will have to be arranged.

I'm sorry, madame.

I am so sorry, madame.

You're sorry?

What have you got to be sorry about?

Remember, you only have a half an hour to dress, make up, vocalize,

warm up the voice.

That's right. I forgot, we're puttin' on an opera tonight.

Best of success to you, my dear.

With you here, that'll be easy.

Winslow, I've been looking for you everywhere.

Did she give you the check?

- No. - But I must have it tonight.

I'm sorry, but Mrs. Colton has definitely refused to pay

any more of your gambling debts.

This is an unusually large sum.

You may tell Mrs. Colton there is no sum too large

to pay for the name I've given her.

Even so, I think she's been very generous to you.

Did you get it?

No, but I will.

I'll go upstairs and get it.

Wait right here till I get back.

That's a very delicate note, madame.

I'm afraid you are taking the worst way to get there.

I wanna get there in the worst way.

Haven't you got my dress hooked yet?

Madame, you wiggle this way and that way. I can do nothing.

All right, we'll try it again.

Madame, will you please stand still?

Between the two of you, you're drivin' me crazy.

- I'll scream! - Oh, madame...

Can I do anything for you, sir?

No, thanks, Thomas.

Who's there?

Please, madame, you mustn't scream.

Think of your voice.

Give me the a, give me the a.

Stop blowin' that thing. I know the whole alphabet.

Please hurry. You're on in a minute.

In a minute? I ain't ready; They'll have to wait.

They can't wait. They can't stretch the music.

They'll have to stretch it or I'll go crazy.

How can I sing when you got me in a mood like this?

Please, madame, you must be calm. You mustn't shout.

- Who's shouting, you seal? - You're on now.

I'm on, huh? How am I doing?

Please, madame, give me the a.

Pardon me, Joe.

Come here, Samson.

He insists that he must have that money tonight.

Expensive husband, huh?

All right, give it to him, but this is the last time.

Very well.

Oh, you can go.

Okay, madame.

What is it, taho?

Come quick. Mr. Colton, him hurt.

He's what?

Yes, lady. In your room.

Where are you going, madame?

The intermission is almost over.

You tell 'em to wait till I get back.

But, madame - do as I say.

See if there's any money in his pocket.

No money, lady.

Wait outside that door. Let no one in.

Oh, so that's where you're hidin'.

No, no, I'm not hiding.

I just came to pay you a visit.

Yeah. Left your calling card.

Uh, what do you mean?

- I don't understand. - Come here and I'll show ya.

How terrible.

But darling, I know nothing of this.

Don't darling me. You know you did it.

Oh, so you are a very clever woman.

You have put your husband out of your way,

and you want to blame it on me.

Well, you have done this, and you are going to pay for it.

- I'm going. - No, you don't.

You're gonna stay here and face the music.

All right, I'm going to stay,

and I am going to tell everyone you did it.

I saw you.

Why, you lowdown, sneak...

And if you want to save your life, you better come with me.

Take your filthy hands off me.

Let me go. Take your...

Don't let him get away.

Who are you, and what do you want?

Donovan's the name, and that's the story.

Oh, you're just what's needed. Come on in.

- Are you alone? - Not exactly.

In that case, I'd like to see your paramour, Mr. Ivan valadov.

You tryin' to be funny?

Listen, I'm an old hand at this game.

- Mr. Colton. - Yes.

Whose gun is that?

Why, uh, I think it's mine.

That's all I wanna know.

This is murder.

You're not insinuatin' that I did it.

You'll have to tell your story to the da.

Say, listen, you. Just a minute.

Nothing. It's all right. I'll take care of everything.

Boys, come up here.

Tell you, when I first came into this room,

he was lyin' there just as you see him.

Yes, yes, I know.

Don't let anyone out of this house.

You, search the grounds.

- What has happened? - It's Mr. Colton.

What has she done to my nephew?

Madam, my theory of the case is murder.

- Murder! - Don't let anyone in here.

Very good, sir.

Fletcher. Why didn't you listen to me?

I knew something like this would happen

if you married that dreadful woman.

You came here, you forced yourself upon us.

I swore I'd drive you out of southampton,

and now, you've killed my nephew.

I wouldn't be too sure about that if I were you.

You wanna walk or ride, lady?

I never walk when I can ride,

and when I ride, it won't be with you.

- You're comin' with me. - You're not taking this lady anywhere.

Here's the man you want.

And we found the Indian over him with this knife. We tried to make him talk.

You killed Colton.

That's a lie. Colton shot himself.

We'll let the courts decide that.

He man that tried kill horse, too.

Come here, you.

Why, you double-crossin'...

I didn't know it was your horse.

I needed money. She paid me to do that.

That's preposterous. The man's lying.

You are lying. You also paid me

to come here from Buenos Aires

and help you to disgrace her.

- The man's insane. - I believe him.

He ain't got brains enough to figure this thing out himself.

I won't be insulted by a person like you.

Don't lose your temper or I'll help you find it.

You certainly figured a swell way to drive yourself out of this town.

Let the law take its course.

Let's go.
