00:01:21Five years after the end of the Civil War,
00:01:24a thousand mile cattle trail stretched from the plains of Texas
00:01:28to the railroad depots in Kansas.
00:01:31For 90 grueling days, through dust, heat, flies, loneliness,
00:01:37cowboys pushed Texas cattle northward along the Abilene Trail
00:01:41at an average speed of three quarters of a mile an hour
00:01:45toward Abilene, Kansas, where raw bred southern beef
00:01:50could be turned into hard eastern cash.
00:01:53Abilene was the end of the trail,
00:01:56the end of the trailhead's thousand mile, 90 day long boredom.

00:05:46Wonder Rita didn't slug you.
00:05:48She works too hard at being mean, Charlie.
00:05:51Real meanness comes naturally.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:55♪
00:06:02Guess you got past my boys without being seen.
00:06:05Getting to be a habit, watch it.
00:06:07You aren't thinking of closing me up, are you?
00:06:09I wouldn't want to.
00:06:10The merchants across the street wouldn't let you.
00:06:13No saloons, no trail herds.
00:06:15No trail herds and the merchants starve to death.
00:06:19Why this rain, Charlie?
00:06:21Then what do you want?
00:06:23Because if it's Rita,
00:06:25maybe I can fix it up for you.
00:06:27♪
00:06:31Keep out.
00:06:32This is private.
00:06:35Just put that on the bill.
00:06:38Anything else?
00:06:40There's nothing I want from you, Charlie, except...
00:06:42what's on those signs.
00:06:44♪
00:06:51Only honorary women can get away with that, mister.
00:06:54♪
00:07:03Shooting off guns during church services.
00:07:06Other side of the street's getting out of hand again.
00:07:09♪
00:07:16What was that shooting we heard?
00:07:18Custom at the prod. Got a little too enthusiastic, that's all.
00:07:21♪
00:07:39Carry their church with them, don't they?
00:07:41♪
00:07:44Looking for you, Boulder.
00:07:46Hello, Mr. Drago. Welcome back to Adelina.
00:07:48Night trip north?
00:07:49Not bad.
00:07:50Here's a list of the stuff we'll need in the morning.
00:07:53Too bad to make you work on Sunday, but...
00:07:55since you're doing it for me and you've already said your prayers,
00:07:58maybe you'll be forgiven.
00:07:59Lord is very understanding.
00:08:01♪
00:08:03My boys are in for a fling at the honeypot.
00:08:06Maybe a little rough, but it's all in fun.
00:08:08Town's open, Captain.
00:08:10Marshall's got nothing to do.
00:08:12Maybe he'll give you a hand with white stuff.
00:08:14See you.
00:08:17♪
00:08:21You homesteaders got no place in town here.
00:08:24And stay off that trail. A long way off of it.
00:08:27This is cattle country and it's gonna stay cattle country.
00:08:33I'm sorry, I need some help on this.
00:08:35It's all right, Father.
00:08:38Go after it, Jim.
00:08:40♪
00:08:52This is one of my men.
00:08:53You went for his gun first.
00:08:55And the deal was crooked.
00:08:56I won't wrestle with these dogs. I got one more bullet left.
00:08:59We'll take care of you right now.
00:09:01Boys, right up.
00:09:03You wouldn't be happy buried a thousand miles from home.
00:09:07Walk out ahead of me.
00:09:08That man's a murderer.
00:09:09What's your boy doing with a gun in his hand?
00:09:20Get going, George.
00:09:23Where's the music?
00:09:24Hit the bar, boys. Everything's on the house.
00:09:30♪
00:09:32You bought chips, Marshall?
00:09:34Couple of weeks, we'll be back.
00:09:36You be here.
00:09:37Because there'll be no guns checked,
00:09:39and we'll tear this crooked, cheating town apart
00:09:41and spread the pieces from here to the Texas border.
00:09:45I'll be here, Riker.
00:09:48Break it up, boys. Show's over.
00:09:56Go on over to the jail and lock yourself up.
00:09:58I'll be over and let you out when Riker leaves town.
00:10:03What are you after, Dan?
00:10:05Why don't you let this town shoot it out and die?
00:10:08There are people in it.
00:10:10What kind?
00:10:11You think anybody in this town has any solution for it?
00:10:15Maybe not.
00:10:16That's a weakness of an honest marshal.
00:10:18Got too doggone much pride.
00:10:21Maybe.
00:10:23Odds are wrong, Dan.
00:10:24Unless you've got a whole card up your sleeve.
00:10:27Yeah.
00:10:29Only friends you've got are on the wrong side of the street.
00:10:35You're right.
00:10:44Slim.
00:10:45You stay here in town.
00:10:47We'll tear this town apart, he says.
00:11:05Only chance we got is to keep Riker satisfied.
00:11:08Riker's no cowhand to be slugged with a gun.
00:11:10We want a marshal to keep us in good with Riker, not a killer.
00:11:13Mitchell's got to get off his high horse.
00:11:17Need any help, Ed?
00:11:18Remember, Riker suggested I give you a hand.
00:11:22Guess I'd better be getting along.
00:11:24Me too.
00:11:27Of all the people in that saloon,
00:11:29you had to knock out the brains of the most influential cattleman on the trail.
00:11:32He's the only one bothered.
00:11:33What else could Dan have done?
00:11:35Let him kill a man in cold blood?
00:11:37Likely Cap Riker was just shooting off his mouth.
00:11:39Father, there's something you've overlooked.
00:11:41See that pretty little star?
00:11:42And who put it there?
00:11:43You did.
00:11:44With instructions to keep this town peaceful
00:11:46and not let trail hands and saloon keepers get out of hand.
00:11:49But I didn't tell him to drive business away.
00:11:51What chance did we have if Fair and Riker decided to get along without any merchants here?
00:11:55All this trouble over one no-count gambler.
00:11:57I see.
00:11:58If there's any killing to be done, Dan just sees to it it's done pleasantly.
00:12:01Is that it?
00:12:02Now, Sherry, let's go back.
00:12:04Four months ago, he didn't have a dime.
00:12:06The crowd had killed off half his cattle and he needed a job.
00:12:08Is that right?
00:12:09Right.
00:12:10And as town supervisor, I appointed him marshal.
00:12:12Still right.
00:12:13Does that give me the right to ask him to watch his step or not?
00:12:16Father, what do you want Dan to do?
00:12:18Well, I thought maybe if he went to Cap Riker and explained it was all a mistake,
00:12:21maybe apologize.
00:12:22Apologize to Riker?
00:12:24In 24 hours, trail hands will sweep across Texas Street
00:12:27and shoot into your parlor windows just to hear the women scream.
00:12:30Are you trying to frighten me?
00:12:32Trying to remind you why you got a marshal, Ed.
00:12:35You're nothing but a wood tick hanging on to a trail town.
00:12:37You're a lost cause.
00:12:38I suppose you'd like to see me close up.
00:12:40No, I'd like to see you book up, Ed, and not let them know how weak you feel.
00:12:44There may be another kind of business here for you soon.
00:12:47You starting on homesteaders again?
00:12:49They haven't a chance of surviving.
00:12:51Maybe I'd rather do business with homesteaders than with cattlemen.
00:12:55But I'm not going to be wiped out for my likes and dislikes.
00:12:58I'm not proud.
00:13:00I've got to compromise.
00:13:02And what I've got to do, you've got to do too.
00:13:05Then you better get yourself another marshal, Ed.
00:13:07Nothing makes me feel cheap when wearing a star don't mean anything.
00:13:10Now wait a minute, Dan. Now you're getting mad.
00:13:12You're a marshal.
00:13:15I'm a marshal.
00:13:38Not even an hour late today.
00:13:42Dan, I think you're right.
00:13:44You should resign.
00:13:46How'd you know I was here?
00:13:48I always know where you are.
00:13:50No, I'm not resigning.
00:13:52I was only trying to put some steel in there.
00:13:54You didn't succeed.
00:13:56You never will.
00:13:58Never's a long time.
00:13:59Howdy, folks.
00:14:01You had a little trouble down at the fryer today, Dan.
00:14:03Oh, nothing important.
00:14:04I understand you filed for re-election next fall, Bravo.
00:14:06Talked me into it.
00:14:08Figured on opening up a saloon or maybe going back to practice in dentistry.
00:14:12But somebody's got to keep law and order in the county.
00:14:14Law and order.
00:14:16Why don't you try helping Dan around here?
00:14:18That wouldn't be fair, ma'am.
00:14:20I run the county, Dan runs the town.
00:14:22Besides, me and Dan don't always see eye to eye.
00:14:25Now, Bravo, I thought we were old friends.
00:14:27We are, Dan, we are.
00:14:29But you got the idea you ought to kick up a fuss about things that are bound to happen anyway.
00:14:33I don't figure that way.
00:14:35A man's got to live.
00:14:37Cowards get lost.
00:14:39Sometimes accidents happen and fellers get killed.
00:14:43Why get hot under the collar about it?
00:14:46And why go hunting for fellers that don't want to be found?
00:14:51I guess you come.
00:14:56Where's the sheriff?
00:14:58Where's the sheriff?
00:15:01Don't that train make enough noise to knock you in?
00:15:04Sheriff, the train was held up.
00:15:07Train held up? You sure?
00:15:09Of course I'm sure. I was on it just three miles out of town.
00:15:12What town?
00:15:13Why, this one. He was traveling as a passenger.
00:15:16Suddenly he pulled a gun and held up the coach.
00:15:18Did he get much?
00:15:19I don't know. He farted a shot over my head.
00:15:21Then he jumped off around the turn.
00:15:23That's a dangerous thing to do. That reminds me of one time I was on...
00:15:25He got $50 from me.
00:15:27That's a lot of money to be traveling with, stranger.
00:15:29I was saying...
00:15:30If you get a posse started right away, you might catch him.
00:15:32Might catch the wrong man, too, and get the county sued.
00:15:34What'd he look like?
00:15:35He was tall. Had little brown eyes and a black beard.
00:15:37Had a little brown beard.
00:15:39I see. No identification.
00:15:41Poor old Bravo. I wonder how he'll get out of this one.
00:15:46You'll probably help him.
00:15:48Not me. County matter.
00:15:50Probably make him late for our game of pen-penning, Big Annie.
00:15:54Why do you go there, Dan?
00:15:57Annie makes good drinks.
00:15:59And playing fan-tan with Bravo in a boarding house full of girls is quite interesting.
00:16:04Well...
00:16:06Now, when the gossips ask you why you go there, I can tell them.
00:16:09What's that?
00:16:11That you haven't made up your mind which side of Texas Street has the most interesting women.
00:16:15Mister, can you tell me where the homesteader's camp is?
00:16:20I'm looking for a man named Hannaberry.
00:16:22Two blocks down the street. Turn to your left and keep walking.
00:16:24Thank you, mister.
00:16:27Oh, just a minute.
00:16:29You folks are coming in pretty fast.
00:16:31I think I'll have a look at that camp myself.
00:16:34Want a ride, son?
00:16:36Yes, mister.
00:16:37Follow me. I'll show you the way.
00:16:53Hello, Rita.
00:16:55You ought to grow a beard, too.
00:16:57When you wear a sun bonnet and an apron, I'll grow a beard.
00:17:01When I wear a sun bonnet and an apron, I'll grow a beard.
00:17:09Do you like her, mister?
00:17:11When I find out, I'll let you know.
00:17:15You know, you look pretty fresh.
00:17:32Hello, Bill.
00:17:39Thank you, mister.
00:17:40All right, sonny.
00:17:46Name's Hannaberry.
00:17:47Where are you all from, Mr. Hannaberry?
00:17:49Ohio, mostly.
00:17:50Sit down, Sheriff.
00:17:52Here you are.
00:17:53Thanks.
00:17:54My name's Henry.
00:17:55Henry Dreiser.
00:17:57First off, I'm not the sheriff.
00:17:59I'm just town marshal to Abilene.
00:18:01I'd have guessed you was closer to the land.
00:18:04Cattle, maybe.
00:18:07That's friendlier land than this around here.
00:18:09Government man told us we could raise 20 bushels of wheat to the acre.
00:18:12Didn't tell you this was cattle country, though, did he?
00:18:14It's government land.
00:18:16Much ours as anybody's.
00:18:18Opinion in town is you won't last long.
00:18:20Opinion here is we will.
00:18:23We've brought our families, and we're gonna make this a fit country for them.
00:18:27We're not asking anything of anybody.
00:18:30There's land here to work, and...
00:18:32we're gonna put more in than we take out.
00:18:34That's fair enough.
00:18:35Don't you like to be friends with folks in your town?
00:18:38But if they don't want it that way,
00:18:40it won't make much difference in the long run.
00:18:54I like that song you folks sing.
00:18:57My father died in the war.
00:19:00So did my son.
00:19:04Those are his children who look in your horse over.
00:19:13Thanks.
00:19:14You bet.
00:19:19Oh, I don't believe you.
00:19:21I don't think he did at all.
00:19:22I did so right, didn't I, mister?
00:19:25Sure did.
00:19:26I can drive a horse behind a plow.
00:19:29Doing what?
00:19:30Putting in weed.
00:19:53Let us die to make men free
00:20:00His day is marching on
00:20:23Why not hold up Otis, Sheriff?
00:20:26I figure he's in the next county by now.
00:20:29Two desk cutters and two whiskey chasers.
00:20:38I hear you've been out looking for the man stuck up the train.
00:20:42I figure I got more trail to it than he did dollars.
00:20:48Any description?
00:20:50Six foot two, little brown eyes, little brown beard.
00:20:55Nobody ever saw him.
00:20:58You know the name Chet Younger?
00:21:00That's right.
00:21:01The boss wants to see you in his office.
00:21:06Six foot two, little brown eyes, little brown beard.
00:21:11Nobody I ever saw before either.
00:21:21Two more desk cutters and two whiskey chasers.
00:21:29Something on your mind, Charlie?
00:21:31Yeah.
00:21:32I think I've been making a mistake.
00:21:34Maybe these wheat growers aren't as big a joke as I thought they were.
00:21:38Pouring over the trail on three sides like a flood.
00:21:42Maybe the merchants aren't the only ones to keep scared.
00:21:47They got a sharp nose for a dollar, these merchandise peddlers.
00:21:51And if they ever decide they can make more money off homesteaders than they can off cattle,
00:21:55they'll join up with the farmers
00:21:57and drive this side of the street out of here
00:21:59and out of every town within a thousand miles.
00:22:03It's loyalty for you.
00:22:06Loyalty?
00:22:07What's that?
00:22:09It's...
00:22:10Loyalty is...
00:22:13Go on upstairs, Jed.
00:22:15See you later.
00:22:17Sure, Charlie.
00:22:42Go after it, Jeb.
00:23:12People seem to think I'm playing hard to get.
00:23:24I must confess that what they say is true.
00:23:29And I'm gonna keep on playing hard to get
00:23:34with everyone that is except with you.
00:23:42All you gotta do is
00:23:45snap your fingers
00:23:48and I'll be there.
00:23:51All you gotta do is
00:23:54clap your hands
00:23:56and I'll come running anywhere.
00:24:00All you gotta do is
00:24:03give a whistle
00:24:05I'll be at your feet.
00:24:09And if you should wonder do I love you
00:24:13there's a very simple little test.
00:24:17All you gotta do is
00:24:20snap your fingers
00:24:22and I'll do the rest.
00:24:34Whistle.
00:24:48Whistle.
00:25:03Whistle.
00:25:34Whistle.
00:25:36Whistle.
00:25:38Whistle.
00:26:03Whistle.
00:26:21I told Dolly there were rats in the basement.
00:26:28Well, who's breaking up my act this time?
00:26:30I don't know. Watch it, boys.
00:26:41You again.
00:26:43What happened?
00:26:44Took a pot shot at him in the alley.
00:26:46Ever seen him before, Charlie?
00:26:48One of Riker's men.
00:26:50Oh.
00:26:51Maybe someday I can finish a song without you breaking it up.
00:26:54Sounded awfully good down there.
00:26:56Maybe because I couldn't hear the words.
00:26:58Oh!
00:27:00What's that for?
00:27:02For playing target for four dollars a day.
00:27:15Should have been around until the evening, ain't it?
00:27:18Oh!
00:27:27I love it out here in the West
00:27:30because the West is best for loving.
00:27:33Seven of clubs, play.
00:27:35Eight of clubs, nine of clubs, ten of clubs.
00:27:38Manager petticoat, Rita.
00:27:40Thanks.
00:27:41What are you all dressed up for?
00:27:42Oh, I didn't feel like changing.
00:27:45Good evening, Dan.
00:27:47Sit down.
00:27:48We'll all play as soon as I've beaten this expert.
00:27:50Less talk and more play.
00:27:52Jack of clubs, queen of clubs, king of clubs and out.
00:27:59Makes 440, Omi.
00:28:01What chance have you got against a woman like that?
00:28:04What chance have you got against any woman?
00:28:06Sometimes, Bravo, I just marvel at your intelligence.
00:28:08Yeah, me too.
00:28:09Sit in a couple hands, Rita.
00:28:10No, thanks.
00:28:11I sat in on a shooting tonight and it tired me out.
00:28:14Anybody get hurt?
00:28:16I understand the marshal's got a sore neck.
00:28:18Sticking it out again.
00:28:19Sore shins, but I'm not sure from what.
00:28:22I kicked you, again.
00:28:24Thought we'd go to play Fan Tan.
00:28:25Why?
00:28:26Because you're getting loco for mixing in everybody's business.
00:28:29The trailhands pay for their drinks on one side of the street,
00:28:31their canned goods on the other.
00:28:32Why don't you let them alone?
00:28:33You got any idea what this town would be like
00:28:35if the trailhands weren't kept in line?
00:28:37We're playing Fan Tan or holding a town meeting.
00:28:39And so he's going to teach them to be polite and say thank you
00:28:42and get shot because that's his job?
00:28:44Why doesn't he go to work for Charlie Fair, whether the future?
00:28:46At least he'll still be here after we've had four new marshals.
00:28:49You know, that's an interesting point.
00:28:51Will he?
00:28:52What's interesting about it?
00:28:53This is not a one-day fight.
00:28:55It's the rider against the settler.
00:28:58The quick drunk against the family.
00:29:01Abilene may close out the cattle when the country's settled up.
00:29:04What'll you do then, Rita?
00:29:06This town is never going to close.
00:29:07And I'm never going to move.
00:29:08This is my kind of life.
00:29:10Why?
00:29:11Because I like it.
00:29:12And it likes me.
00:29:13And I don't look well in an apron.
00:29:14And don't ask so many questions!
00:29:18Would anybody be interested in playing a little Fan Tan?
00:29:24Come to think of it, I would.
00:29:34Seven of spades.
00:29:35Eight of spades.
00:29:37I pass.
00:29:38Nine of spades.
00:29:39Ten of spades.
00:29:40Jack! Queen! King of spades! Play!
00:29:58The barn first, then the house.
00:30:01Light up a couple of them torches.
00:30:03Come on!
00:30:34Come on!
00:30:35Come on!
00:31:04Come on!
00:31:25Come on! Come on!
00:31:33Come on!
00:31:45Come on, Mom! Get out! Quick!
00:32:04Come on!
00:32:17That's mighty hard luck, Mrs. Canley.
00:32:20You sure got all our sympathy.
00:32:22But why should anybody want to harm us?
00:32:25We are a peaceful people.
00:32:27I'll tell you why.
00:32:28Because cattlemen hate farmers.
00:32:31They hate us because we make 40 acres to support a dozen people instead of one cow.
00:32:36There's only one thing left for us to do if we want to stay here.
00:32:38And that's to fight.
00:32:39Easy, son.
00:32:41We've got as much right here as anybody.
00:32:43It's government land. The cattlemen don't own it.
00:32:45What makes you so sure the cattlemen had anything to do with this, son?
00:32:48Who else would want to drive us out?
00:32:50Yes, who else?
00:32:51Quiet!
00:32:52Unless your investigation is getting out of control.
00:32:55I want you all to be quiet until I finish asking questions to the witnesses.
00:33:00Is there anybody here who recognizes the perpetrators of this dastardly deed?
00:33:05I recognize one of them.
00:33:07How could you recognize him in the dark?
00:33:09It was dark when it happened, wasn't it?
00:33:11Farmers can see better in the dark than most folks.
00:33:14I know a farmer who can't see his hand before his eyes.
00:33:16A fellow by the name of Donaldson, right up here in...
00:33:18What's his name, Frank?
00:33:20Go ahead. Tell him his name like you told me.
00:33:24Jet Younger.
00:33:27We want to swear on a warrant for the arrest of Jet Younger.
00:33:34Thank you, Emily. Come again.
00:33:42Two boxes of 45, Sherry.
00:33:44They found out who it was.
00:33:46Jet Younger.
00:33:48But it didn't happen in town. It's a county matter.
00:33:51Why do you have to get mixed up in it, Dan?
00:33:53Somebody in town sent Jet Younger to burn out those homesteaders.
00:33:56Somebody in town ought to do something about it.
00:34:00I don't suppose it would make any difference if I asked you not to go.
00:34:06No.
00:34:18I thought you'd be in.
00:34:21How'd you figure that one?
00:34:23Younger and fair add up.
00:34:25To what?
00:34:26Two to one against you.
00:34:41Oh!
00:34:44Oh!
00:34:45Sit down.
00:34:54I sent word to Bravo that as far as I'm concerned, a want Jet Younger brought in.
00:34:59Sent for you, Dan, because I heard you might give up marshalling.
00:35:02Did say something about it.
00:35:04I could use a man.
00:35:06Always figured I could land a job with you, Charlie.
00:35:09How soon you plan to quit?
00:35:11How soon you plan to quit?
00:35:13Well, that depends.
00:35:19Have you got the final figures yet, Charlie?
00:35:21Just about.
00:35:23Oh, meet my new partner, Dan.
00:35:28I told you I was going to take root here.
00:35:30From now on, I own the show and the pride.
00:35:32But you'd be working for me, Dan.
00:35:37I'll remember.
00:35:42Oh, uh, good luck.
00:35:49Anything wrong?
00:35:51I'm not sure.
00:35:57Hello, Dan.
00:35:59Don't tell me you won an afternoon game.
00:36:01No, just looking for Bravo.
00:36:03Hearing over?
00:36:04What hearing?
00:36:06Oh, that, yeah, that's all over.
00:36:08I got a warrant for Jet right there in my coat pocket.
00:36:11Leaving soon?
00:36:13Soon to get 440 back.
00:36:15Why?
00:36:16Thought you might need a little help.
00:36:18Well, how do you like that?
00:36:19Say, I'll have him back here in jail before he knows what time it is.
00:36:22Play, Annie, you're holding up justice.
00:36:24Seven of diamonds.
00:36:25Something quite funny about this.
00:36:27What's funny?
00:36:28Your enthusiasm. Jet's a killer.
00:36:30What do you think I am, a bumblebee?
00:36:31You've got everything but the sting.
00:36:33Anyway, you won't mind my going along with you, Bravo.
00:36:35I certainly wouldn't mind.
00:36:36What do you want to meddle into something I don't concern you for?
00:36:39That's what I want to know.
00:36:44Did Charlie send you to ask me that, or are you interested in my well-being?
00:36:48I'm interested in my business.
00:36:49And I'm interested in getting this game finished so I can get started.
00:36:52Play, Annie.
00:36:53Eight of diamonds.
00:36:55Why are you going on this mad hunt with Bravo?
00:36:58Always help a fellow officer of the law.
00:37:00That's not your reason.
00:37:03Maybe I'd just like to ride up in the hills, away from people.
00:37:07I'm waiting at your office, Bravo.
00:37:10Eight of spades.
00:37:11Nine of spades.
00:37:12Ten of spades.
00:37:14Jack of spades.
00:37:15Queen of spades.
00:37:16King of spades.
00:37:18Oh, shucks.
00:37:21Where are you going, Rita?
00:37:23If I told you, you wouldn't believe me.
00:37:29To preserve law and order to the best of your ability as deputy sheriff.
00:37:34Dan.
00:37:36You're wanted inside.
00:37:38Me?
00:37:39Mm-hmm.
00:37:50Rita.
00:37:51Dan.
00:37:54I want to say goodbye.
00:37:56Well...
00:37:57Don't say anything.
00:37:58Just put your arms around me.
00:38:00Hold me.
00:38:02Good.
00:38:03You big idiot.
00:38:09Open the door.
00:38:11Take care of yourself, Rita.
00:38:12I'll pick up that holding business when I get back.
00:38:14Dan, you let me out of here.
00:38:24Good idea, George, but it didn't work.
00:38:26Let her out in ten minutes.
00:38:27You ready, Dan?
00:38:28Coming, Bravo.
00:38:32Good idea.
00:39:02Good idea.
00:39:20Sun's up.
00:39:21Mm-hmm.
00:39:27Use a little help around here.
00:39:29You got three deputies.
00:39:30What more do you want?
00:39:31Had three deputies.
00:39:32Pulled out on us last night.
00:39:35You mean them polecats hightailed it?
00:39:37About 3 a.m.
00:39:39They didn't make too much noise.
00:39:40I went right back to sleep.
00:39:42If you seen them go, why didn't you stop them?
00:39:44Couldn't have been much use to us.
00:39:46Ours weren't in it.
00:39:50Maybe you and me better get out of here, too.
00:39:52Ain't much two of us can do.
00:39:54Only takes one man to catch Jet.
00:40:02Last night before I went to sleep,
00:40:04I did a lot of thinking.
00:40:06About what?
00:40:08Oh, Jet Younger.
00:40:10This fire.
00:40:11How far it could be seen from up in the hills.
00:40:14What are you trying to say, Dan?
00:40:16That if the idea of this expedition
00:40:18was to warn Jet we were coming
00:40:20so he could hold up and stay out of our way,
00:40:22this is the proper place to build a fire.
00:40:24Shucks.
00:40:25You're the only one who's ever
00:40:26thought of that.
00:40:28This is the proper place to build a fire.
00:40:30Shucks.
00:40:31You're just jumping to conclusions.
00:40:33Maybe so.
00:40:34And the first one is that Jet is probably
00:40:36where he can see this fire.
00:40:37Makes him remember there's an old
00:40:39line shack up there.
00:40:40Be a comfortable hideout.
00:40:42I'll look here, Dan.
00:40:43Better mix up some biscuits, Bravo.
00:40:45But you...
00:40:59Well, I figure we better be on our way.
00:41:02Which way?
00:41:03I think we'll turn back towards town,
00:41:05look up them deputies first thing.
00:41:07What about the line shack?
00:41:09Now, Dan, I'm in charge of this party
00:41:11and I say we go the other way.
00:41:14I think I'll take a ride toward the line shack.
00:41:29You sure are a stubborn critter.
00:41:36I didn't hurt you, did I, Dan?
00:41:40I did it for your own good, son.
00:41:42I couldn't stand to see you get yourself shot at.
00:41:46Oh, what do we care about them homesteaders
00:41:49or Jet Younger or anybody?
00:41:52All right.
00:41:58You all right, Dan?
00:42:08I'd rather take in the conch on my own head, son.
00:42:14There's no sense in a man being so stubborn.
00:42:22I'll be back tonight and let you loose.
00:42:24The rest will do you good.
00:42:28Don't you go and make me look for you.
00:42:30You stay right here.
00:42:52Bravo!
00:43:18Poor Miller.
00:43:20Hope the ants don't crawl all over him.
00:43:36Why, that sneaking no good.
00:43:38I'd better get out of here.
00:44:20Oh!
00:44:26Catched him, didn't you?
00:44:33Hot today, ain't it?
00:44:36Might rain before the end of the week, though.
00:44:39Go away.
00:44:41Got any drinking water?
00:44:42Yeah, plenty of it in the well.
00:44:44You and your friend come on up to the house.
00:44:46He ain't no friend of mine.
00:44:47He ain't.
00:44:48You and your friends do this every day for the exercise.
00:44:50Come on, friend.
00:44:58Now, supposing I play a jack.
00:45:00What happens?
00:45:01It all depends.
00:45:04One of the first rules of the game is to take...
00:45:06Might be more profitable for you to wait for me here, Bravo.
00:45:10Oh, I'll just play a little bit.
00:45:12Maybe I can show him something about the game before you get back.
00:45:15Give me your word you'll stay here.
00:45:17Ever hear of a horse running away from oats?
00:45:22What did you say was worth the most?
00:45:24The king or the queen?
00:45:27Well, uh...
00:45:29Let's see.
00:45:36Let's deal again, Al.
00:45:47All right.
00:46:06That's you, Bob?
00:46:08Better give me a hand here. I ain't much of a cookin'.
00:46:12Need a little grease in that skillet.
00:46:15Couldn't do that, Jet.
00:46:19What do you want?
00:46:21Just a little of your time, about 20 years.
00:46:24Charlie Fair said that Bravo would camp where you could see as far...
00:46:27And then go in the opposite direction.
00:46:30That right?
00:46:32I don't know what you're talking about.
00:46:35Where is Bravo?
00:46:37Busy.
00:46:38Come on, Jet. Let's start the town.
00:46:40I don't get this.
00:46:42You're not sheriff, you're town marshal.
00:46:44What do you want out of this deal?
00:46:46A little security for my children.
00:46:48You ain't got any children.
00:46:50Someday I might.
00:46:53Ready, Jet?
00:46:59Better take my coat.
00:47:01It's cold out.
00:47:12Oh!
00:47:39Bob!
00:47:43All right, Jet.
00:47:45You better shoot.
00:47:47I'm not going.
00:47:48You're going.
00:47:49Tired across the saddle, kicking and scratching.
00:47:52Have to bring you back alive, Jet.
00:47:54Gotta prove you're not tough to get.
00:47:56That's important to me.
00:48:12Come on.
00:48:42Phew!
00:48:47Queen of diamonds, king of diamonds, and out.
00:48:55Hey!
00:48:58Finished that game yet?
00:49:04That makes $14.70, you owe me.
00:49:06Don't bother me with petty details.
00:49:09Brought you a present.
00:49:10Another friend of you fellas?
00:49:12What am I going to do with him?
00:49:14He's your prisoner.
00:49:15Hey, can he play fan fan?
00:49:17Shut up!
00:49:18Out here, fooling's fooling, but this year he took on a serious turd.
00:49:22Ever figure how many votes it might get you next fall
00:49:25if people in town saw you riding with a murderer across your saddle?
00:49:29Hey!
00:49:30Hey!
00:49:31Come here!
00:49:32Look!
00:49:50Hey!
00:49:51Hey!
00:49:52Hey!
00:49:53Hey!
00:49:54Hey!
00:49:55Hey!
00:49:56Hey!
00:49:57Hey!
00:49:58Hey!
00:50:04Whoa!
00:50:12Bravo, Trimble, did you catch him?
00:50:14They see him, don't they?
00:50:16Big cheers for Sheriff Trimble!
00:50:18Hooray!
00:50:19Hooray!
00:50:20Hooray!
00:50:21Thanks, folks, I'm just doing my duty.
00:50:24Get me inside, you big fore-flusher.
00:50:26You put up quite a fight there, did you?
00:50:29Oh, Dan, I'm so terribly glad you're back.
00:50:32So am I.
00:50:34Hooray!
00:50:36Hooray!
00:50:38Hooray!
00:50:40Hooray!
00:50:42When I was a child, I burned my finger
00:50:47And it taught me not to play with fire
00:50:52Don't know why this lesson didn't linger
00:50:57Here this foolish heart of mine
00:51:01Has burned its finger many times
00:51:05But still it doesn't lessen my desire
00:51:15Every time I give my heart
00:51:20I know that it's the last
00:51:25But when that love has passed
00:51:30I sigh, well, maybe next time
00:51:36Every time I give my heart
00:51:41I'm back where I began
00:51:45Just another old soul ran
00:51:50But maybe next time, next time
00:51:56I've waited long for this romance
00:52:00And when we met, my heart was lost
00:52:06With you I think I stand a chance
00:52:11But just the same, I've got my fingers crossed
00:52:21Every time I give my heart
00:52:26For instance, like with you
00:52:30I swear that for we two
00:52:39There'll be no next time
00:52:52Aren't any better now?
00:52:54No, Chief.
00:53:27I promised to pick up where we left off.
00:53:29You know, I think what I like least about you
00:53:31is that you're so sure of yourself.
00:53:34When a man rides down the middle of Texas Street,
00:53:36confidence is all he's got.
00:53:38Confidence?
00:53:39You're an easy target for any drunk
00:53:41who wants to take a hot shot at you.
00:53:43All that'll change.
00:53:47Rita, I think you've made a bad investment.
00:53:50Let's wait and see.
00:53:52And now if you've found out everything you want to know,
00:53:55will you get out while I change?
00:53:57I haven't found out anything.
00:53:59You've got a screen change.
00:54:01I feel like talking.
00:54:07Come to think of it, it's the screen around you I don't like.
00:54:12Harry, the dress on that chair.
00:54:16And the porcupine quills you shoot out
00:54:18to keep people away from it.
00:54:22Why, no man who's walked or ridden into this town
00:54:24has ever gotten near you.
00:54:31I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:54:33I'm sorry.
00:54:42What you need is a ride in the hills.
00:54:44I don't mix my drinks.
00:54:49You're scared.
00:54:51Get out!
00:54:55Trying to be tough because you're scared
00:54:57and scared because you're warm and soft.
00:55:01I'll lock my door after this.
00:55:11Better use up some of that before it's spoiled.
00:55:16I knew you'd do that.
00:55:18I let you stay to find out if you were like every other man
00:55:20who ever tried to get in here.
00:55:22Then you found out something too.
00:55:31People seem to think I'm playing hard to get.
00:55:35I must confess that what they say is true.
00:55:41And I'm gonna keep on playing hard to get
00:55:46with everyone that is except with you.
00:55:54All you gotta do is
00:55:57All you gotta do is
00:56:00clap your fingers
00:56:02and I'll be there.
00:56:06All you gotta do is
00:56:08clap your hands
00:56:10and I'll come running anywhere.
00:56:14All you gotta do is
00:56:17give a whistle
00:56:19I'll be at your feet.
00:56:23And if you should wonder do I love you
00:56:27there's a very simple little test.
00:56:31All you gotta do is
00:56:34clap your fingers
00:56:36and I'll do the rest.
00:56:41As President of the Ladies' Aid
00:56:43it gives me great pleasure to introduce our guest of honor
00:56:47Sheriff Bravo Tremble.
00:56:54Ahem.
00:56:56When I accepted this invitation to speak
00:56:59it wasn't with no idea of politics or nothing.
00:57:04I just wanted to have a heart to heart talk
00:57:07about what might happen if we didn't have
00:57:09the proper administration of law and order
00:57:12in this here county.
00:57:13Tell us how you captured Jeff Younger.
00:57:16Oh, it's more than much to capture a gent.
00:57:19You stick a gun in a fellow's ribs and
00:57:21Oh, you're the kind of a sheriff who don't stand for no foolin' way.
00:57:24He just naturally comes along.
00:57:25You mustn't be so modest Sheriff Tremble.
00:57:28Tell us how you really tracked him down.
00:57:30Did Dan Mitchell help?
00:57:32Well, uh, some.
00:57:34Did you get hurt in the fight?
00:57:36No, can't say that I did.
00:57:38Oh, skin place here too.
00:57:40But nothing compared to the way Jed got worked over.
00:57:45Be a long time before he does any more outlawin'.
00:57:48Figure he'll stay there for weeks in jail
00:57:50lickin' his wounds.
00:57:51Sheriff Tremble! Sheriff Tremble!
00:57:54Jed Younger's escaped.
00:57:56Did you say Jed escaped?
00:57:58Somebody smuggled him a gun and he shot his way out.
00:58:00Killed two men.
00:58:01Took to the hills again, has he?
00:58:03No, he's still in town.
00:58:05Has anyone notified Dan Mitchell?
00:58:07Dan Mitchell? You're the county sheriff.
00:58:09That's just it. Tell him my jurisdiction.
00:58:12He was headed for the stables when Dan put him off.
00:58:14Gotta get off the street, folks. Hurry.
00:58:16Come on, hurry. Hurry.
00:58:24There he is!
00:58:47Bang! Bang!
00:58:57Bang!
00:59:17She kept talkin' about you a lot at first.
00:59:21About me?
00:59:22Just ramblin'.
00:59:23Got the idea she's afraid of you.
00:59:25Emotional upset, Doc said.
00:59:27Sort of upset myself come to think of it.
00:59:29All this killin'
00:59:31ain't a part of the natural life of people like us.
00:59:35No.
00:59:37Maybe you were right, Dan, about resignin'.
00:59:40Had word from Charlie Fair today.
00:59:44Had word from Charlie Fair today.
00:59:46Riker's on the trail again. He'll be here soon.
00:59:49I'll finish up my term, Ed.
00:59:51Better think it over while there's still a chance to pull out.
00:59:55I saw him out on a sundial once.
00:59:57It said, it's always later than you think.
01:00:00Good night, Ed.
01:00:02Sherry!
01:00:03I want to talk to Dan. Alone.
01:00:05But, Sherry, you...
01:00:06Please.
01:00:08Good night, Dan.
01:00:14Dan.
01:00:16There's something I want you to know.
01:00:20Ten years ago, when Father first brought me here,
01:00:23the very first day,
01:00:25I stood on Texas Street,
01:00:27and I saw two drunken trailhands fight it out with guns
01:00:31until one was dead.
01:00:33I was ten years old,
01:00:35and I saw a man's blood running a little stream
01:00:38into the gutter at my feet.
01:00:42That's been ebbing to me ever since.
01:00:44It won't be that way much longer.
01:00:46It'll always be that way.
01:00:48No one can ever change it.
01:00:50Don't you try.
01:00:51Sherry, do you know what you're saying?
01:00:53Yes, I know what I'm saying.
01:00:55I'm saying I'm afraid.
01:00:57Afraid for myself and for you.
01:01:01Do you know how you terrify me?
01:01:04Every day I wonder,
01:01:06this is the day I'll see you lying in the street like...
01:01:08Sherry.
01:01:11Oh, dear.
01:01:13If you care anything about me at all,
01:01:16take me away.
01:01:19Sherry, I...
01:01:20I wouldn't be any good to you running away.
01:01:23Being afraid would take half the fun out of life for me.
01:01:28Fine.
01:01:31Now I know what I saw in your eyes when you killed Jet Younger.
01:01:35You didn't kill him because you're Marshall.
01:01:39You killed him because you wanted to see him lying on the ground dead.
01:01:43You keep this job because it's fun.
01:01:45Because there's something in the killer in you, too.
01:01:47Sherry, stop.
01:01:49Jet wasn't the first and he won't be the last.
01:01:51You want to run this town with a gun in your hand.
01:01:53That's your life.
01:01:54You're bringing a fight on because it's fun.
01:01:57I'm running this town with my gun, Sherry,
01:01:59until I can turn it over to a gentler people than any of us here.
01:02:03I don't believe you.
01:02:04There's no gentleness in you.
01:02:05Not even the hope for it.
01:02:07Do just one thing for it and for yourself.
01:02:11Resign.
01:02:13Please.
01:02:14Please resign.
01:02:17And go away.
01:02:38That's right, Jim.
01:02:41We've all got to stick together.
01:02:43That's the purpose of this organization.
01:02:45To stick together.
01:02:46And if we have to, to fight.
01:02:48We want peace, Henry.
01:02:51So do those people who were killed by Jet Younger.
01:02:56We've got over 400 families in this county and there's more coming.
01:03:00We're getting dangerous to the trail herds and they know it.
01:03:03Henry's right.
01:03:04The townspeople figure if they're decent to us,
01:03:06the trail hands will take it out on them.
01:03:09Be a fine country around here if we're strong.
01:03:15Well, I guess we had about enough talk.
01:03:17Our first job is cutting those fence posts.
01:03:20We'll start stringing wire across the trail as soon as the posts are in.
01:03:23Across the casual trail?
01:03:26It crosses our land.
01:03:27You've got a right to fence it.
01:03:30Come on, let's get at it.
01:03:47Thank you, Mrs. Lynch.
01:03:56I want some barbed wire, Mr. Boulder.
01:03:58Barbed wire?
01:03:59How much?
01:04:00400 spools.
01:04:01What are you going to do with that much?
01:04:03You're in business, aren't you?
01:04:05There's the money.
01:04:06That's all you've got a right to ask for.
01:04:08I'm not asking for anything.
01:04:10Just can't sell dynamite to a fool or a half-grown boy.
01:04:14They're old men asking for it, Mr. Boulder.
01:04:16Fine old men and women and children.
01:04:19Haven't got any, Mr. Dreiser.
01:04:21Least raise.
01:04:22None for sale.
01:04:23Mr. Boulder.
01:04:37You got a minute, Miss Boulder?
01:04:39What do you want, Mr. Dreiser?
01:04:41Your father refused to sell me barbed wire.
01:04:43I've got to have it to protect our land.
01:04:45More fighting and killing?
01:04:48Do I look like a man who likes killing?
01:04:51Come here with guns bristling all over me?
01:04:53What have I come here to buy?
01:04:55Wire.
01:04:56Just so I can mark off the place where I want to work hard the rest of my life.
01:05:00Is that a crime?
01:05:02No.
01:05:04Why is it so important to you?
01:05:07Because I want what my father didn't have.
01:05:09Land.
01:05:10Growing wheat.
01:05:11Enough of it to raise a fine family with peace surrounding us.
01:05:14Is that a poor thing to want?
01:05:17No.
01:05:19No, it's not a poor thing.
01:05:23What are you hanging on to so hard?
01:05:26What's a girl like you got here that you can be proud of?
01:05:29We're the only ones that can give you a life worth living.
01:05:32You know that too, don't you?
01:05:33If they let you.
01:05:34They'll let us.
01:05:36We're strong enough now.
01:05:37For more bloodshed?
01:05:38Well, if we just stand and wait, they'll wipe us out.
01:05:40What will you do then?
01:05:42I know you. I've been watching you ever since I first came here.
01:05:44Watching me?
01:05:47Well, yes, I have a little now and then.
01:05:54You're like us, Sherry.
01:05:55A lot like us.
01:05:56You want the same things that we do.
01:05:58You know, we got a lot in common.
01:06:00We're what this country can be, Sherry.
01:06:02And we can have it.
01:06:04All you have to do is to tell me where that wire is kept.
01:06:06I'll be back with wagons to haul it.
01:06:08Here's the money.
01:06:09Give us a chance, Sherry.
01:06:12You and me.
01:06:17Let's go.
01:06:48Let's go.
01:06:50Let's go.
01:07:15Spot the wire ahead across the trail as far as you can see.
01:07:18Headed.
01:07:19No farmer can block my trail.
01:07:20Drive right through it.
01:07:48Hurry!
01:07:49Hurry!
01:07:50Hurry!
01:07:51Hurry!
01:08:12Hurry!
01:08:13Hurry!
01:08:14Hurry!
01:08:19Go!
01:08:22Go!
01:08:23Go!
01:08:24Go!
01:08:25Go!
01:08:26Go!
01:08:47Go!
01:08:48Go!
01:08:49Go!
01:08:51Go!
01:09:07What's that?
01:09:08A cannon.
01:09:20Go!
01:09:21Go!
01:09:22Go!
01:09:23Go!
01:09:24Go!
01:09:26Go!
01:09:27Go!
01:09:28Go!
01:09:29Go!
01:09:30Go!
01:09:31Go!
01:09:32Right then, hit the fences.
01:09:55Stampede the cattle.
01:09:56Take them inside.
01:09:59Get Doc Sanders.
01:10:00Give me a hand, boys.
01:10:09Hannaberry is dead.
01:10:10Bob Rankin.
01:10:11The Freeman's death.
01:10:12Wait a minute.
01:10:13Where were those fences?
01:10:14Across the trail.
01:10:15Across the cattle trail?
01:10:16You put fences across the cattle trail?
01:10:17Yes.
01:10:18Well, you can't do that.
01:10:19Where'd you get the wire?
01:10:20First thing, Rankin will come in fourth, find out who sold the wire.
01:10:21That's not all.
01:10:23Where are the rest of the homesteaders?
01:10:33I sent word from the meat at the bed of the river.
01:10:35Get them in here, or in town, before dark.
01:10:37Well, there still is a town.
01:10:52Which way are you shooting, Charlie?
01:10:54Me? I'm not in this deal. I'm in the saloon business.
01:10:58You were. I'm giving you an hour to close up.
01:11:01Oh, wait a minute.
01:11:02There'll be no drunken trail hands stampeding this town tonight.
01:11:07Maybe you haven't heard. The trail's closed. For good.
01:11:11From what I hear, it's wide open again.
01:11:14Charlie, I'm giving you a chance to get out while you can.
01:11:17Seems to me you need that chance more than I do, Marshal.
01:11:27Seven people killed and about $6,000 in property damaged, I understand.
01:11:32This is another Gettysburg.
01:11:34I want to know this. Who sold them that wire?
01:11:36Not me. I turned them down.
01:11:37Where do your wires end up?
01:11:38What's that?
01:11:40I sold that wire.
01:11:42Henry Driver said he wanted it to prevent any trouble.
01:11:46Didn't you know better than to trust a homesteader?
01:11:48And why shouldn't I trust a homesteader?
01:11:51They're people like us. Better.
01:11:54Did they come here with guns bristling all over them?
01:11:57They're the only ones who can make life here worth living.
01:12:00They didn't know crazy trail hands would stampede cattle.
01:12:03Well, they got what was coming to them.
01:12:05But what about us?
01:12:06Riker knows that wire was sold right here in town.
01:12:08And he'll be here tonight.
01:12:10He'll burn us out. Drive us out of town.
01:12:12Why did those homesteaders have to move in here?
01:12:15Mind if I say something?
01:12:19Boys, I'd think it over carefully.
01:12:21Whatever happens here will spread.
01:12:23This is a fight for the state of Kansas.
01:12:25Which way the country's going.
01:12:27Better be sure you pick your friends.
01:12:29What's a few homesteaders worth in a fight?
01:12:31Not very much, but a thousand of them are worth a lot.
01:12:33Or if it's not that man in the county.
01:12:35Henry Dreiser has a hundred men in his Farmers' Protective Association.
01:12:39And he's only 25% organized.
01:12:41How many people is that, Ed, figuring three to a family?
01:12:46Over a thousand.
01:12:47But suppose Riker drives these homesteaders away?
01:12:50I think you can discount that rumor.
01:12:52Well, you're not planning on tangling with him again, are you?
01:12:55There were people killed this afternoon.
01:12:57Makes my position pretty clear, doesn't it?
01:13:02Dan.
01:13:04When I sold Henry that wire,
01:13:06I didn't realize it would all come tumbling down on you.
01:13:09Funny.
01:13:10You never know who's going to fire the first shot until the fight begins.
01:13:13400 families.
01:13:15If each family spent, say, $500 a year here in town,
01:13:19how much business would that come to?
01:13:21Almost a quarter million dollars.
01:13:23How much do the trail hands spend?
01:13:25Now, if 400 only spend $300 a year,
01:13:30if, if, if, I know what I'm going to do.
01:13:32I'm going straight to Charlie and get word to Riker that Dan don't represent me.
01:13:36I am neutral.
01:13:37I don't want any part of this fight.
01:13:39Quiet, Ed.
01:13:40Suppose in a year from now,
01:13:42there are 800 families here.
01:13:45That's half a million dollars.
01:13:47Half a million dollars.
01:13:49And no shooting.
01:13:50But suppose the homesteaders are wiped out?
01:14:00I don't know.
01:14:30Turn out the lights, Ned. Street's closed.
01:15:00Will you turn them out, Pete?
01:15:13Or you want me to?
01:15:24Dan, a word to the men.
01:15:26When will they be here?
01:15:28Perhaps they can get together.
01:15:30Wait here.
01:15:48Stay here, Jim.
01:15:52My people are mad, Dan.
01:15:54Everybody loved old man Hannaberry.
01:15:58Evening, Marshal.
01:15:59Evening, Jake.
01:16:06They want to settle this once and for all.
01:16:08Make this the last fight.
01:16:10I think it will be, Henry.
01:16:15I'm just trimming over the fence.
01:16:18Because I love it out in the West.
01:16:21I love it out here in the West.
01:16:24Because the West is meant for loving.
01:16:27When the stars are shining and the moon is low,
01:16:30you'll find me out with my Romeo.
01:16:33That's trimming over the fence.
01:16:36That's why I love it out in...
01:16:39Your show would have looked nice in a kitchen apron.
01:16:43What do you mean, stopping the show?
01:16:45I still own this place and I'll give the orders.
01:16:48That's fair enough.
01:16:49Tell them to turn out the lights.
01:16:51Grab him, boys.
01:16:52Look out, Dan!
01:16:57Lights out, Charlie.
01:17:01You want me to do it for you?
01:17:12You'll set the place on fire.
01:17:14I wouldn't want to do that.
01:17:17Wait.
01:17:22Lights out.
01:17:48I came to tell you to pack up.
01:17:50Breaking it up is a better idea.
01:17:52I'm breaking nothing.
01:17:53You're closing me up.
01:17:55Listen, Rita.
01:17:56It's going to be pretty rough here in no time.
01:17:57Not safe.
01:17:58Oh, don't you tell me what's safe.
01:18:00You big blonde baboon.
01:18:01Don't you warn me.
01:18:02You wait till Riker gets here.
01:18:03You warn me?
01:18:04Seemed only friendly I do the same for you.
01:18:06The jig's up.
01:18:07It sure is.
01:18:08But not for me.
01:18:09Who's going to stand with you when the shooting starts?
01:18:11The merchants?
01:18:12The homesteaders?
01:18:13You'll be so lonely on that street,
01:18:15you'll look like a duck in a shooting gallery.
01:18:18The tame always win, Rita.
01:18:20This place will fall around your lovely ears dollar by dollar,
01:18:23dime by dime.
01:18:25Get out of here before I kill you.
01:18:27And I don't mean have to kill you.
01:18:29This is my property paid for with my money.
01:18:31And if you ever set foot inside this room again,
01:18:33I'll beat your brains out, you brainless idiot.
01:18:42Suppose a thousand families only spend $300 a year.
01:18:45Rita, come.
01:19:02Hey, Cap, look.
01:19:08What's the idea of the saloons being closed?
01:19:11New law went into effect tonight.
01:19:14I don't think you can stop us.
01:19:17You got a pretty strong outfit.
01:19:21Boys, anybody want to get the trail dust out of their throats?
01:19:43How long do you get to lick it up
01:19:44and start on this side of the street?
01:19:47Hey, Cap, stop cracking.
01:19:49Oh, I'm sure glad to see you.
01:19:51I didn't close you up, did you?
01:19:53Oh, now, Cap, look.
01:19:56All right, boys, take it.
01:19:58Let's go.
01:20:13Sherry.
01:20:15Are they coming?
01:20:16I hope so.
01:20:17But if they don't get here soon, they'll be too late.
01:20:19I understand you told them about selling us the wire.
01:20:22That you believe in what we're trying to do.
01:20:24I believe in you.
01:20:30Let a cattleman show you how.
01:20:32What do you mean?
01:20:43Nice work.
01:20:46I didn't mean to hit him so hard.
01:20:48How do you feel?
01:20:50Fine.
01:20:52Oh, Dan.
01:20:54Sherry, I'm proud of you.
01:20:57I'm proud of you, Dan.
01:20:59And Henry.
01:21:01Me, too.
01:21:02It's getting pretty rough down there, Dan.
01:21:04Can't you stop it?
01:21:05She's a wonderful girl, Henry,
01:21:06and you'd better get her out of here
01:21:07before I change my mind and take her away from you.
01:21:10Take her away?
01:21:11You mean you...
01:21:12Exactly.
01:21:15Come on, Henry.
01:21:16I'll explain it to you.
01:21:29What are you doing out there?
01:21:30Well, somebody's got to protect the sheriff's office.
01:21:33Where are you fixing to go?
01:21:34There's a fellow over at Causeville.
01:21:35He's been losing some sheep.
01:21:36He wanted me to come over and investigate it
01:21:38for his chance at a hand.
01:21:41Sheep.
01:21:54Maybe we're making a mistake, Henry.
01:21:56Why should we help a town that don't want any part of us?
01:21:59What's the matter? Afraid?
01:22:00No, ma'am.
01:22:01We're not afraid.
01:22:02We just don't quite know what this is all about.
01:22:04Well, then I'll tell you.
01:22:05It's about drunken trail hands
01:22:07that don't want you to settle the land that's yours.
01:22:09It's about farms and homes.
01:22:11And it's about a fool marshal who's got himself in a corner
01:22:13because he knows better times are coming
01:22:15if the people only have the nerve to do their part.
01:22:17In this town?
01:22:18It's not this town you're fighting for.
01:22:20It's the right to live.
01:22:21What's going on here?
01:22:22You say this town wants no part of you.
01:22:24Well, I hear Sheriff Trimble come to leave you.
01:22:26What's that?
01:22:27Must be at least 300 votes in these homesteaders.
01:22:29Well, I got to see a man about a sheep.
01:22:31You're the sheriff that captured Jet Younger, aren't you?
01:22:34Yeah.
01:22:35Well, hell, I had a hand in it.
01:22:37Well, we'll follow you, Sheriff.
01:22:39Come on, boys.
01:23:04You know, Doug, the world is changing.
01:23:07Yeah, I know.
01:23:10Glory, glory, hallelujah.
01:23:28Glad you're here, boys.
01:23:29What do you want us to do, marshal?
01:23:30Fan out.
01:23:31Take up positions around the stores and buildings on that side of the street.
01:23:34Hear that, fellas? Spread out.
01:23:35On that side.
01:23:36Over there, boys.
01:23:37On that side.
01:23:38What's Riker's men up to now?
01:23:40Having the time of their lives, wiping out the saloons and gambling houses.
01:23:44And you ain't doing nothing about it?
01:23:46Not me.
01:23:47They're doing too good a job.
01:23:51This here sure is.
01:24:07This is my place.
01:24:09You don't want to take up my place.
01:24:11Oh, get off of me.
01:24:18You, you, you're the marshal here.
01:24:21Why don't you do something?
01:24:22Why don't you stop it?
01:24:23There's a $10,000 riot going on in there.
01:24:26Who are you for?
01:24:28You're the man they wanted in Opentown.
01:24:30Well, here it is, Charlie.
01:24:32You're the man they wanted in Opentown.

01:25:31I'll take my boys anywhere I want to go.
01:25:34You're not taking them anywhere, Riker.
01:25:36You're coming with me.
