00:00While violence and bloodshed still ruled the West, actresses with magic names like Langtry
00:16and Montez wrote glamorous pages in American theatrical history.
00:20Beautiful legendary Lillian Lloyd's first Western tour would have been her last, but
00:25for one man, Rex Allen stars as the Frontier Doctor.
00:29I've been to Tucson to see a demonstration of the new Coley vaccine.
00:34I'd been away five days and was anxious to get home.
00:37If I hurried, I could catch the stage to Rising Springs.
00:40There ain't no hurry, Doc.
00:42What?
00:43No, the stage for Rising Springs pulled out about 15 minutes ago.
00:47You're going to have to wait over.
00:49What's the matter with you, Elmer?
00:50Can't you run your stages on schedule?
00:53No, but you ought to be grateful, because now you'll get a chance to see Lillian Lloyd.
00:58Lillian Lloyd?
00:59Yeah, she's singing over at the Golden Slipper tonight.
01:03There ain't been so much excitement in town since the Main Street Fire.
01:08I'd rather have caught the stage, Elmer.
01:10No, that's where you're wrong.
01:12Son, I have seen them all, Montez, Crabtree, and Langtry, but this gal, the first time
01:19I've seen her, my eyes bugged out like a stomped-on toad frog.
01:23Well, if she's that good, maybe I'll have a look.
01:27Yeah.
01:28I'll see you in the morning.
01:29Yeah, you'll see me tonight.
01:37Having nothing else to do that night, I went to see the fabulous Lillian Lloyd.
01:41Listen to you, I'll never listen to you, listen to me, cause I'm saying I'm through, I've
01:48learned my lesson, it's true, so brother, don't think that I'd ever again would, ever
01:55again should, listen to you anymore.
02:00Listen to you, I'll never listen to you, listen to me, cause I'm saying I'm through, I've
02:06learned my lesson, it's true, so brother, don't think that I'd ever again would, never
02:13again should, listen to you anymore.
02:25The next morning when I reached the express office, the stage was ready to roll.
02:33Holy mackerel.
02:34Morning, ma'am.
02:35Is this the stage to San Barlo?
02:40What?
02:41I said, is this the stage to San Barlo?
02:43Oh, sure, Rising Springs, Kingston, San Barlo.
02:46Fine.
02:47Will you take care of our luggage?
02:48Pardon me, I'll take care of the luggage.
02:49Fellas, put the luggage in the rack, and get on up there, boy, and drive careful, we've
02:55got important passengers here.
02:57Thank you for seeing me off, I'll never forget it.
03:01Miss Lloyd, when are you coming back?
03:03Oh, soon, I hope, I've had such a lovely time, you've all been so marvelous.
03:08Shall we go, my dear?
03:10Goodbye, you wonderful, wonderful people, I love you all, goodbye.
03:15Come, my dear.
03:24Take her away.
03:27Oh, Jane B., putting on the glamour act for these yokels is hard work.
03:41What is it?
03:44Oh, I'm sorry.
03:46That's all right, Miss Lloyd, I guess we are yokels.
03:50Miss Lloyd used the term in a purely theatrical sense.
03:55Allow me to introduce myself.
03:57I'm J.B. Drummond, Miss Lloyd's manager.
03:59Dr. Bill Baxter.
04:01How do you do, Dr. Baxter?
04:02Nice to know you.
04:03You know Miss Lloyd, of course.
04:05Yes, I had the pleasure of hearing her sing last night.
04:09Judging from the way I feel, you may have the pleasure of seeing me drop dead.
04:15If you won't take offence, I think I can tell you what's the matter.
04:18You can?
04:19It's that dress you're wearing.
04:22It's up so tight you can't breathe.
04:24Are you suggesting I've put on weight?
04:28You're absolutely right.
04:29This full dress is killing me.
04:31Unhook me so I can breathe in this straitjacket.
04:53Get along, honey.
04:56This place ain't carrying no shotgun.
05:23How's that?
05:25In there!
05:27Come on, Miss Lloyd!
05:28Come on!
05:30Come on, you stupid bitch!
05:32It's my jewelry.
05:33You mean those are real?
05:35Of course they're real.
05:36It has more in my bag.
05:37Get up here.
05:39Hold this.
05:41I'll show you.
05:42I'll show you.
05:43I'll show you.
05:44I'll show you.
05:45I'll show you.
05:46I'll show you.
05:47I'll show you.
05:48I'll show you.
05:49I'll show you.
05:50Hold this.
05:57Hide this under the seat.
06:13Enemy arrival!
06:21Get on your strong box.
06:23Get down.
06:35Watch him.
06:36I'll check the passage.
06:37All right, everybody out.
06:39Come on, you heard me.
06:41Keep your hands up.
06:43Say, you're Lillian Lloyd.
06:45I am.
06:46Well, what do you know?
06:48I saw you in Sacramento once.
06:50I bet I collected more than 20 of your pictures.
06:52Well, that's very nice of you, Mr...
06:54Name don't matter.
06:55Hey!
06:56This here's Lillian Lloyd.
07:06Hey!
07:07Hey!
07:08Hey!
07:09Hey!
07:10Hey!
07:11Hey!
07:28Sorry this had to happen, Miss Lloyd.
07:30You...
07:31You killed the driver.
07:32I know I had to.
07:33Didn't do him much good, either.
07:35Say, boss, if this is Lillian Lloyd, she's got a fortune in jewelry.
07:39We're not taking anything that belongs to Miss Lloyd.
07:41You a loco or something?
07:42No.
07:43I got a stake in this, and I say we...
07:44Shut up and go work on the strong box.
07:50We're not taking anything, Miss Lloyd.
07:52But it would be nice if you gave me something.
07:53You know, sort of like a souvenir.
07:56Of course.
07:59Will this do?
08:01That's not what I had in mind.
08:09You better get back in the coach,
08:11before I change my mind about letting you go.
08:18You two.
08:28You know, you're a lucky man.
08:31Am I?
08:32Yeah.
08:33You're lucky.
08:34You're lucky.
08:35You're lucky.
08:36You're a lucky man.
08:38Am I?
08:39Yeah.
08:40Ordinarily, I'd kill anyone that tried what you did.
08:42But I need you to drive the lady into Rising Springs.
08:44Get up there.
08:46Go on, get up there.
08:58Heavens.
09:00Quick, J.B., get my bag.
09:04Wait a minute.
09:05What's the matter?
09:06This is the greatest publicity break you've ever had.
09:09I can see the headlines.
09:11Lillian Lloyd robbed by notorious outlaw.
09:13But he didn't rob me.
09:15Who knows that except us.
09:17Dr. Baxter was out cold.
09:19Are you suggesting that I cheat the insurance company?
09:21Nothing that crooked, my dear.
09:23We'll just play the robbery for all it's worth.
09:25Then your jewels will mysteriously reappear.
09:28That'll be mysterious, all right.
09:30There'll be a note from the outlaw
09:31saying you didn't have the heart to keep them.
09:33That'll give us another big play in the papers.
09:36That's not bad.
09:44Sheriff!
09:45Sheriff!
09:48Hey, another hold-up.
09:57Another hold-up.
09:58About three miles out, they killed Hutch Gleason.
10:00And they took Miss Lloyd's jewelry.
10:02This is Miss Lillian Lloyd, Ed.
10:04Lillian Lloyd?
10:05Oh, they took everything, Sheriff.
10:07The necklace the Czar gave me,
10:08the antinette, pearls, everything.
10:10There were two of them, Sheriff.
10:11One had dark hair.
10:12Can't you give me a better description than that?
10:14Well, they were masked.
10:16Oh, J.B., I think I'm going to faint.
10:19Oh, this has been a terrible shock.
10:21Is there a hotel nearby?
10:22Why, yes, just up the street.
10:26Doctor, would you mind?
10:29Not at all.
10:39Sid!
10:40Where's that new deputy?
10:41Sid!
10:42Looking for me, boss?
10:46Where you been?
10:48We had another hold-up.
10:49So, go on.
10:50They killed a driver and stole a fortune in jewels.
10:53That's Lillian Lloyd.
10:55They stole Miss Lloyd's jewels?
10:57Yeah.
10:58Round up the boys.
10:59We're heading out of town.
11:03Here you are.
11:04Here you are.
11:05This is the best room in the house.
11:07If I had known you were coming, Miss Lloyd,
11:09we would have redecorated the whole place.
11:11Never mind.
11:12Never mind.
11:13This will do.
11:14What do you mean, this will do?
11:15I'll get smelling salts.
11:16That won't be necessary.
11:18Is there anything else, sir?
11:19Your luggage will be right up.
11:20Oh, yes, yes.
11:21Is there a telegraph office in town?
11:23Oh, yes.
11:24Good, good.
11:25I have some statements for the newspaper.
11:29Oh, yes.
11:31Oh, and by the way, we'll need 20 gallons of milk.
11:34Of course.
11:3820 gallons?
11:39You don't expect Miss Lloyd to bathe in water, do you?
11:43Of course not.
11:45Take good care of her, doctor.
11:46These things upset her terribly.
11:49She's very sensitive.
11:58You can get up now.
11:59They've gone.
12:01Darling, would you get me a glass of water?
12:04I feel faint.
12:05Get it yourself.
12:08What did you say?
12:10Why, you...
12:11Are you insinuating I'm a fake?
12:14I'm a doctor, remember?
12:16Darling, you may know medicine,
12:18but you don't know a thing about the theater.
12:20I am an actress.
12:22So I've noticed.
12:23But an actress just can't be robbed
12:25and then collect her insurance and go on about her business.
12:28There has to be a lot of drama and excitement.
12:31Why?
12:32For publicity.
12:33Oh, darling, wait until you see the headlines.
12:37She was right.
12:38The next day, her name blazed on the front page
12:41of every newspaper in the country.
12:46You alone?
12:48Yeah.
12:53Have you seen this?
12:54I thought I told you never to come here.
12:56I just thought you'd like to know
12:57the insurance company made a statement.
12:59That double-crossing tramp stands to collect 150,000.
13:04You're the original grade-A bottle-and-bond sucker.
13:08So she's gonna collect insurance.
13:10You gave her the chance, Buster.
13:12You had to be a gentleman.
13:16No gentleman would make a liar out of a lady, nor would he.
13:19Huh?
13:20She claims her jewels were stolen.
13:22Tonight they're gonna be.
13:23Now get out of here.
13:27I've been cooped up in this room for two days.
13:29What are you trying to do, bore me to death?
13:31You can't go gallivanting around town
13:33when you're suffering from shock.
13:34I'm suffering, all right.
13:36You've had enough wine.
13:37I haven't had enough of anything except you.
13:39I want to be around somebody human for a change.
13:42There's nobody in this sick town that'd interest you.
13:45That's what you think.
13:47I'm sick.
13:48I'm sick.
13:49I'm sick.
13:50I'm sick.
13:51I'm sick.
13:52I'm sick.
13:53I'm sick.
13:54I'm sick.
13:55I'm sick.
13:57What?
13:59Suddenly I feel ill.
14:01Very ill.
14:04What are you talking about?
14:05You better call for that young doctor.
14:08Ah, so that's it.
14:10Never mind the comment.
14:11Just send for him.
14:13Very well, my dear.
14:26The hotel porter told me it was an emergency,
14:29but I suspected it might be more of Miss Lloyd's dramatizing.
14:35Who is it?
14:36Dr. Baxter.
14:37Come in.
14:42I hated to bother you, darling, but my head is killing me.
14:56What are you going to do?
14:58Take your temperature.
14:59Well, I don't have any fever.
15:01I think we'll take it anyway.
15:03But I don't have...
15:26Hmm.
15:30I told you I didn't have any fever.
15:32Your pulse is a little rapid.
15:34It's probably because you were holding my hand.
15:38What are you doing?
15:39Fixing your sedative.
15:45Do you look at all your women patients with such a...
15:48a professional detachment?
15:50I try to look at any patient that way.
15:52That's not what I mean.
15:54What do you mean?
15:55Suppose...
15:56Suppose a woman wasn't a patient,
15:59then how would you look at her?
16:01I suppose I'd look at her just like any man would.
16:06Well, then, for your information,
16:08I don't have a headache.
16:10As a matter of fact, I never felt better in my life.
16:19What was that?
16:20Somebody's in the next room.
16:24Come on.
16:30That window, it wasn't open.
16:41Don't yell again.
16:42Don't turn around.
16:43Where's your jewelry?
16:45My jewelry was stolen.
16:47I know better than that.
16:48Where is it?
16:49It's in the hotel safe.
16:52Look, you're lying.
16:53After all that talk about me stealing them,
16:55you wouldn't risk that.
16:57What's wrong?
16:58I heard...
16:59What are you doing here?
17:11Cheap publicity stunt.
17:13I hope you're proud of yourselves.
17:15You made a fool of the law and an innocent man's been killed
17:17just so you could get your name in the papers.
17:19We didn't mean any harm.
17:20We never dreamed it would turn out this way.
17:23The whole thing was my idea, Sheriff.
17:25I didn't have to go along with it.
17:27I'm so sorry and ashamed and horrified.
17:30I wish there was something I could do.
17:32Maybe there is.
17:34The man who shot Pittman tonight
17:36must be the same man who held up the stage and killed Hutch.
17:39How do you figure that?
17:40Who else would know Miss Lloyd still had her jewels?
17:43Go on.
17:44Well, she got a good look at him the other day at the holdup
17:46when he was masked.
17:47And then tonight when he had the mask off,
17:49she saw him again as he went out the door.
17:51But it was only a glimpse.
17:53My guess, he lives here.
17:55But there was no reason for the fellow to kill Pittman
17:58unless he was afraid he could identify him.
18:00But he did know him.
18:01He looked surprised and said, what are you doing here?
18:03We're still not getting anywhere.
18:05Maybe the killer lives in town.
18:07Maybe you might recognize him.
18:08But I can't line up the whole town for you to look at.
18:12Maybe Miss Lloyd could give a charity performance.
18:14Say, for the Pittman widow.
18:16The whole town would turn out.
18:18Say, that's not a bad idea.
18:20The killer'd have to show up or risk attracting attention.
18:23You could play the piano for me, JB.
18:24You've done it before.
18:25Oh, sure, sure.
18:27There's only one thing.
18:29If this fellow thinks you could recognize him,
18:31he might try to kill you too.
18:33Oh, I hadn't thought of that.
18:35Well, if it'll make you feel any better,
18:37I could guard you at the hotel tonight
18:38and Sid could take over in the morning.
18:41Well, I would feel safer.
18:44You can't run out on me like this.
18:47Look, if I show up to guard that dame tomorrow,
18:50she'll recognize me.
18:51If I don't, I get fired.
18:53Then they'll wonder why I didn't show.
18:54What makes you so sure she'll recognize you?
18:56She saw you tonight, didn't she?
18:58I managed to stay out of her way.
18:59You could be sick, couldn't you?
19:01I've already thought of that,
19:02but Baxter would know I was faking.
19:03This setup with you working for the law
19:05is too good a deal to give up without trying.
19:08We've already got $25,000.
19:11One more big haul and I'd be willing to drift,
19:14but not yet.
19:15Where's this dame gonna be you're supposed to guard?
19:17The town hall.
19:18They're having some kind of a rehearsal.
19:19I suppose when you met her there,
19:20I was hiding in the town hall with my gun ready.
19:23If she recognizes you,
19:24I got the drop on anybody she might be with.
19:26You still got a chance to get away.
19:29The next morning, when I arrived at the hotel,
19:32the sheriff went home to get some sleep.
19:34About 10.30, Miss Lloyd, Mr. Drummond, and myself
19:37headed to the hotel.
19:39Miss Lloyd, Mr. Drummond, and myself
19:41headed for the town hall.
19:52Let's try love is a problem, huh?
19:53Love is a problem.
20:09Thanks for helping out, Doc.
20:31I'll take over now.
20:32Glad to do it.
20:33Well, you're not going.
20:34I'll say it'll take good care of you.
20:35But I wanted you to hear this number.
20:37Can't you arrest him or something and make him stay?
20:40No man in his right mind would want to leave.
20:42Why can't you say nice things like that?
20:45Thank you, Mr., uh...
20:47Carver.
20:48Sid Carver.
20:50I've met you before, haven't I?
20:52Last night in the sheriff's office.
20:54No, I mean before that.
20:56I don't think we have, Miss Lloyd.
20:57If we'd met before, I'd been the one to remember.
21:00Well, I can see we're going to get along just fine.
21:04I just want you to hear this one number,
21:06and then I'll let you go.
21:07Come on, let's go.
21:13When a girl says no, no
21:16And her eyes kind of glow
21:18Then a man better know
21:20Should he hold her or go
21:23When a girl kind of pleads
21:25With a glint in her eyes
21:28If a man doesn't try
21:30Is he foolish or wise?
21:34That's the question that puzzles me so
21:38That's the question we'd all like to know
21:42Add or subtract and I'm sure you'll agree
21:47Love is a problem that puzzles me
21:53Doc, that's the man who was in my room last night.
21:58Are you sure?
21:59Positive.
22:03Carver, keep your hand away from your gun.
22:05What's the matter with you folks?
22:07I recognized him when he put his hand over his face like a mask.
22:10And look at his hand, Doc. See the teeth marks where I bit him?
22:12Don't move, any of you.
22:14Drop your gun, Baxter.
22:16Get out of the way.
22:18The instant your gun fires, my bullet will get Carver.
22:22Maybe you better tell your friend about automatic reflexes.
22:25No dice, Doc.
22:27Put down your gun or he shoots Miss Lloyd.
22:29Go on, Doc.
22:30Another killing doesn't mean anything to us.
22:32He thinks we're bluffing.
22:34Then call him.
22:58Shut up!
23:00All right, but I'm not acting this time.
23:30Goodbye, Miss Lloyd.
23:57After all I said, I must admit, if it hadn't been for you and your jewelry,
24:00we wouldn't have caught up to Dalton and his pal so quickly.
24:03Dalton?
24:04Carver's identified as Bill Dalton.
24:06He and his brothers robbed the Coffeeville Bank.
24:08Good heavens.
24:09The other outlaw was Tulsa Jack Blake.
24:11They'll be convicted and probably hung.
24:14You know, the one thing Carver...
24:16I mean Dalton did that I'll never forgive.
24:19What was that?
24:20The other night when he came to the hotel to take my jewelry, he interrupted.
24:25Just when we were getting to know one another.
24:37Goodbye, everyone.
24:38I love you all.
24:42Goodbye, you wonderful, wonderful people.
24:49Goodbye, Dalton.
24:58Take it away.
25:07Well, I guess that's that.
25:11Unhook me, I need air.
25:13Quite a remarkable woman.
25:16Say, Doc, why was that Dalton interrupted when he came to the hotel?
25:21You're not asking a doctor to betray a patient's confidence, are you, Sheriff?
