Starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

It'd be more company if you was a tapeworm.

Oh, don't start ragging at me, Doc.

I'm just too tired to take it.

Trouble of it is this seat here ain't too soft.

Well, then get back on your horse.

Well, I just might do that. It'd be better than this.

I think you hit every prairie dog hole from here to Cimarron Crossing.

You complained for four days.

Well, I can't help it if you got patients all over western Kansas.

Well, I didn't ask you to come along.

Well, it sure wasn't my idea, either.

I guess Mr. Dillon just felt like you need somebody here

to take care of you.

Well, I'll talk to him about that.

Whoa. Whoa!

What was that?

Well, I don't know. Probably some hunter, I guess.

Tch-tch-tch.

Pitt, there's a buggy coming. Two men in it.

Let's go.

We better get down there, huh?

Tch-tch-tch.

Now, hold on here a minute.

I want to help you if I can. I'm a doctor.

I'll take that.

Tch-tch-tch. Now, how in thunder did this happen?

It was an accident.

You out here by yourself, fella?

Uh-uh. I got partners.

Where are they?

They ain't... they ain't here.

You said this is an accident?

Yeah. I dropped my gun.

It went off, caught me.

By golly, Doc, you going to be able to do him any good?

Well, there's a bullet in there that's got to come out, Chester.

But I'll need hot water.

You see if you can build a fire. And I'll get my bag.

Yeah, all right. I'll get some wood.

By golly, Doc, looks like we got company.

Huh?

Howdy!

You his partner?

One of 'em.

Uh-huh. Well, he... he got hurt.

He's hurt awful bad.

But I'll tell you, he's a doctor there.

And he'll do what he can for him.

That there is Nage Gillet.

I'm Jesse Turnbough.

I'm a partner of him and his brother.

Oh, his brother. Where is he?

I don't know.

But I'll tell you something, Doc.

You better not mess around with Nage there.

What?

Just leave him be. That's all. He got hisself into this.

Well...

wait a minute, mister. Where are you going?!

I thought you'd said that you was his partner.

Well...

Well, I could swear. I never seen anything like that, Doc.

That water boiling, Chester?

Well?

Nage ain't dead yet.

Don't look like he's going to get dead neither.

What do you mean?

One of them fellas is a doctor down there.

Says he's going to try to fix him up.

Why didn't you run him off?

Well, I done the best I could, Pitt!

I told him to leave him alone.

If Nage don't die, he's just like to tell 'em what happened.

Ah, he wouldn't do that. He's your brother.

Well, he might.

What are we going to do?

Go down there and finish him off.

If need be, kill them, too.

Do we have to?

Of course we do!

I ain't going to get hung for trying to kill my brother.

Now, let's go.

By golly, Doc, here he comes again.

He's got the other one with him this time.

Just keep your eye on them, Chester.

Howdy.

Leave him alone.

Well, he... he's a doctor, mister.

He's trying to help your brother there.

He don't need no help.

Well, he's got a bullet in him.

That's too bad.

He got hisself into this.

Now I say let him get hisself out.

I told you you was going to have to kill 'em, Pitt.

All right!

Now, that there's enough.

He's a doctor. He's trying to save a life.

Now, get on out of here and let him do it!

I guess you was right.

Doc!

Doc!

Yeah.

Is bad, Doc?

Yeah, it's bad enough.

Well...

Doc, I'll... I'll hitch up the buggy.

I'll get you in town before you know it.

No. No, I couldn't make it.

It's too far.

You...

you ride in and get some help.

Well, I...

I... I can't do that, Doc. I can't leave you.

I need help!

Well, but Pitt Gillet is out to kill you, Doc.

I... I got to stay with you.

Chester...

there's a bullet in here and it has got to come out.

And I can't do it.

Well... well, Doc, I'll... I'll help. I'll do what I can.

If you just tell me what to do, Doc, I'll do it.

It wouldn't be easy.

By golly, Doc, if you can stand it, I sure enough can.

All right, Chester.

There's a bottle of whiskey up there in the... buggy.

I'm going to need it. You get it for me, would you?

Yeah.

All right. Here we are.

Hmm. Okay.

Ugh, Doc!

Help me, Doc!

I got...

I... I got to... I got it... Doc.

I got...

- He's dead, Doc. - Huh?

- Nage. Nage is dead. - Oh.

Would you like another shot of whiskey?

No.

You better have yourself one.

Oh, I'll... I'll be all right, Doc.

You just tell me what to do.

All right.

Now, you've seen me probe for bullets.

Yeah.

Well, you do that.

And then when you find it, you just...

You just go in there and get it.

With them big, long pinchers?

That's right.

And hurry.

Well, go on! Go on!

Doc, I just don't know that I can do it.

You can't?

Well, I... I just don't know that I can.

Well, by thunder, I'm going to die.

Go on!

How you feel, Doc? You... you hurt much?

Ah, like blue blazes.

Well, I got the bullet out anyway.

I know it.

What, you dig it out with a shovel?

Well, I done everything you told me, Doc.

I did it just like you told me.

I know'd that it hurt you awful bad, though.

'Cause, well you passed out just as soon as I got it out.

- Oh, did I? - Yeah.

But you'll get your strength back now, Doc.

And I'll get you into Dodge.

How can I get strength without food?

What... What kind of food?

Well, meat.

Just any kind of meat.

Broth.

I'll get it for you in the morning, Doc.

Uh, just as soon as morning comes,

everything is going to be all right.

All right, hold it right there.

Now, you get off of that horse and you get off easy.

I come in peace.

What are you doing here?

Pitt sent me.

What for?

He wants to know how Nage is.

Yeah. I'll just bet he does.

He sure cared a lot about him yesterday.

Where is he?

Back there.

Back where?

Back there.

All right, you drop that knife and get over here.

Drop it!

He wouldn't be slipping up behind us, would he?

Well, where's Nage?

I don't see him anyplace.

Pitt!

You come in peace, huh?

I didn't want to do it.

Pitt made me do it.

He made you?

We're partners.

I ought to put a bullet right between your eyes.

Oh, by golly, you're just...

You're awful hot, Doc.

I'll get a cold rag for your head.

Now.

There you are. Does that... that...

Does that make you feel any better now, Doc?

Well, I just don't know nothing else to do. If I...

If I know'd what to do, I'd do it.

It's just like you, Doc.

Why didn't you tell me what to do

in case something like this happened?

Please.

Please.

I never ask you for much.

Lord, I'm... I'm not asking for myself now.

It's for Doc.

Feeling some better, are you, Doc?

Yeah.

By golly, I didn't know there for a while,

whether you was going to make it or not.

Would you like a little soup?

Yeah.

- Soup? - Yeah.

You got something?

Sure do.

Where'd you get that?

Well, I started out with some old renegade steer

that I found in the brush there.

And, well now, just a minute.

Now, don't try and do it all by yourself all at once there.

And I put in a little wild onions

and some sheep sorrel to kind of flavor it.

Heh.

How is that, huh?

Oh, it's good. That's awful good.

Well, it'll give you strength anyway.

That's what you need, Doc.

Don't you worry.

We're going to get back to Dodge.

Yeah.

Where are the wolvers?

Well, I got one of 'em, Doc.

- Huh? - Yeah.

I got Jesse there tied up.

You did?

Yeah. I just wished it was Pitt.

Well, where is he?

Well...

I ain't seen him for a while, Doc, but...

he's out there somewheres,

just waiting for his chance.

Chester!

Let me have some more soup.

OK, Doc.

Here you are, Doc.

Now, just drink all that you want.

We got plenty of it.

Oh, that's... that's enough.

What'd you do to it?

Well, nothing. Why? What's wrong with it?

Well, it's strong. You boiled it too much

or something.

Oh, Doc, I sure am glad to hear you talking like that.

Huh?

Well, you're getting ornery.

You're getting your strength back.

That means we can maybe do a little bit of traveling.

I know one thing. We...

we either got to travel or I'm going to sleep.

What about Pitt?

Well, Doc, we can't stay here forever.

I ain't seen him for quite a while.

Not since I took a shot at him. Maybe he just...

decided to not stop running.

Well then, let's go.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You ain't going off and leaving me tied up, are you?

Oh, shut up.

Chester!

Well, we're all right now, Doc.

I'll just finish up loading the buggy,

and we can get into Dodge for sure.

Nage is going to like that.

Huh?

Nage is going to like that.

You killing Pitt.

Well, Nage is dead.

He is?

Yeah.

Well, I didn't do it. Pitt done it.

You mean, he killed his own brother?

Yeah. They had an argument

and Pitt just up and shot him.

Wasn't no accident, huh?

No. No, Pitt... Pitt done it.

I... I didn't do nothing, though.

No, of course you ain't.

Pitt tried to kill Doc and you sure enough

helped him all you could.

Well, he's my partner.

What?

My partner. I didn't know anybody else around here.

Well, that's a darn foolish excuse I ever heard of.

Looky there.

Mr. Dillon!

Mr. Dillon!

Look who's here, Doc.

- Matt. - Hello, Doc.

I'm glad to see you.

I understand you had a pretty tough time here, huh?

Yeah. If you can call it that.

Well, do you think you can make it into town?

I'm getting awful sick of this place.

Chester, let's hitch up the buggy, huh?

Sure will.

Close call for you, huh, Doc?

Yeah. Sure was.

Looks like Chester did all right here.

Chester... By golly, Matt. Let me tell you.

Well, he saved my life. I just wouldn't have made it.

No, sir.

Doc, we'll get you back to Dodge.

Where's Doc's horse, Chester?

Ah, well he ain't here.

Where is he?

Well, uh, he's dead.

He's dead?

You see...

old Doc just had to have something to eat.

He was failing so bad.

What?

Well, I didn't want to do it, Mr. Dillon.

But I just didn't have no choice.

I see.

Well.

We still got Doc.

I think you made a pretty fair trade.

Well...
