07:25i've never known him to gamble he is tonight i'm leaving a girl like you alone in town
07:35we're coming to a very narrow bridge it's dangerous if you don't know it
07:40maybe i better get out and walk ahead better if i did i know where to look oh there
07:47you go real careful i'll follow slow don't move till i tell you i'll call back if it's safe
08:09how does it look you all right miss shane miss shane miss shane

08:38ain't nothing to put a bridge over somebody put one over on me anybody named shane live out that way
08:46ain't nobody live out that way any shanes living down i'm not much of a hand at remembering names
08:52what about faces real nice looking woman good figure about 25 26 years old real pretty eyes and
09:01uh light red hair well there was a red-headed lady living over at mrs clemer's boarding house
09:06she fits the description but i'm pretty sure it wasn't her where's this boarding house you turn
09:11left down past the hotel it's a white two-story house oh look friend if i was you i just figure
09:18i've been pranked and let it go at that you took the lady where she wanted to go and she left you
09:24you'll find other pretty girls i'd rather find this one well what's so special about her the way she's
09:30dressed friend that coat of mine has a thousand dollar bill pinned in the pocket
09:47all right i'm coming
09:52huh is that all you got to do run around waking people up 10 o'clock at night excuse me ma'am i'm
09:57looking for a young lady i was told she lives here well she don't a young lady with red hair very pretty
10:03about 26. red hair you say light red hair yes ma'am the name she gave me was mary shane
10:14oh she did live here well could you tell me where i could find her well i'm real sorry young man
10:19i hope mary ain't a relative or something she died a week ago
10:28and you'll have to admit sheriff it just doesn't make any sense at all i won't argue with that there's
10:33no sense in it a woman's been dead for nine days is sitting out in the street crying and you rent a
10:38buggy and take her out to a bridge that don't exist and she walks off with your coat and a thousand
10:43dollar bill just tucked in the pocket you always keep a thousand dollar bill pinned to your clothes
10:52that's right for emergencies uh-huh all right let's pretend i'm not drunk or delirious did you know
11:00mrs shane i knew her and thought high over she hadn't lived in white rock more than a year but
11:05she was known and respected a nice quiet widow woman a lady never any trouble that you knew of
11:10people in white rock don't get into trouble mr maverick did she have any kinfolk no no she was
11:16just about going to get married though she was engaged to mr bert nicholson nichols who's he mr
11:23bert nicholson is a leading citizen of white rock he runs a hardware store and minds his own business
11:29maybe i'll drop in on him tomorrow yeah yeah that ought to make him feel a lot better
11:34there's nothing like jokes in a time of sorrow i'll tell you what might be a better idea
11:40why don't you see if maybe there's some money pinned to your pants and if there is get yourself a new
11:46coat and a horse and a new town to play in well i'll think about that sheriff right now i'd like to
11:54play this game out next morning i took a little ride out to where mary shane had vanished
12:06i hadn't really expected to find a bridge and it's a good thing because there wasn't one
12:21like you know
12:30and
12:34Let's go.
13:04What's going on?
13:27What happened?
13:29Things are starting to make sense.
13:31Who are you shooting at?
13:32Somebody was shooting at me.
13:34Oh, I admire you, Mr. Maverick.
13:41You come to a small town like White Rock and you find more excitement here overnight than
13:44home folks do in a lifetime.
13:45You still don't believe me?
13:47You people can go back and finish your naps now.
13:49Well, I try to believe you, Maverick.
13:54My only trouble is, though, I don't believe in ghosts.
13:58Well, I don't either, especially when they carry Winchester rifles.
14:00Yeah, it did sound like a rifle, didn't it?
14:05Sheriff, ghosts usually wear white.
14:08At least the night riding kind do.
14:11The ghost with the Winchester was wearing a black broadcloth suit.
14:15You know anybody who wears black broadcloth?
14:17Yeah.
14:19There's you.
14:19Nobody else?
14:24That's Bert Nicholson.
14:26He's the one that's engaged to Mary Shane.
14:29Yeah, that's right.
14:30Why would a man wear a black suit to run a hardware store?
14:35Because he's the undertaker, too.
14:44Why did she die up, Mr. Nicholson?
14:47A bronchial condition.
14:49That's what brought her to this part of the country in the first place.
14:52She was never what you could call a well woman, Mr. Maverick.
14:54I'm sorry to hear that.
14:56Is there anything else you could tell me?
14:59I'm afraid that's all there is to tell.
15:01Well, there was one thing more I'd like to know about.
15:03Mr. Maverick, I'm sure you'll understand.
15:05The past few days have been very hard on me.
15:08I've sustained a very great personal loss.
15:11And the whole subject is one that I find painful to discuss.
15:14Well, I can understand that.
15:17What I wanted to know is, where were you 45 minutes ago?
15:22I was right here.
15:24You see, I have a funeral for tomorrow.
15:26A young man was shot last night playing poker.
15:28I know.
15:29What kind of a gun do you carry, Mr. Nicholson?
15:31Well, I have a Colt .38 revolver.
15:35Half the time, I never remember to carry it.
15:37If you have no further questions, Mr. Maverick...
15:40Maybe some will come to me.
15:42I sure hope he don't aim to settle down here permanent.
16:06I thought he looked a little strange when he come in here yesterday.
16:08He sure leads an interest in life.
16:12Buggy riding with ghosts and being shot at by the undertaker.
16:16I think that's real enterprising to Bert, coming up business that way.
16:21He's beginning to look like a real go-getter.
16:23that's a认 Pearl mang.
16:24That's a theory of Cheng.
16:25Get sure.
16:26I don't know.
16:27I'm sorry.
16:28It was a lieutenantوج, actually.
16:29You're��ed and the other Fe he dressed.
16:31I was understudy.
16:32After you all ate on your ground remember, there was a detective called Mercury.
16:34Don't kill a man but it was ingenious.
16:37Aie, but it did better because he was deceived at the oldest我知道.
16:39You kill a man who passed away after the wedding!
16:42You!
16:43And he
16:48Let's go.
17:18Let's go.
17:48Let's go.
18:18Let's go.
18:48Let's go.
19:18Let's go.
19:49We wouldn't want you to get the wrong idea of this town, mister.
19:52Don't take all the girls here. Is that forward?
19:54Take me? I'm a local boy. Don't ask me to take a buggy ride.
19:57Not even the dead ones.
19:58You got to remember this Mary Shane was not a town girl.
20:03And in this town, it's always hard to tell the live people from the dead ones.
20:07Mister, we're not like city people. Folks here in White Rock, they're quiet. They go about their business.
20:12That's one of the first things I noticed. The liveliest thing seems to be the undertaking business.
20:16Well, now, you ain't still mad at our undertaker, are you?
20:19Undertaker has to make a living just like everybody else.
20:22Oh, you folks are getting me wrong. I'm all for a fellow making a living.
20:26I'm sure I'm going to have to remember that one. Let's go, Harry.
20:37Hank Foster.
20:43Fred Maverick.
20:45I guess he didn't get to hear the first part of that story.
20:48Afraid it wasn't any funnier than the last part.
20:50They seem to get quite a kick out of joshing you about your girl.
20:53My girl?
20:54Well, this, uh, Mary, what's her name?
20:56Oh, it's a local joke. I hardly know the girl.
21:00Just happened to spend part of the evening with her last night.
21:03Not knowing she'd been dead a week.
21:05You mean real dead or, uh, just the type you'd run into in a town like this?
21:12Prettiest ghost I ever saw.
21:14Well, that's sure a pity.
21:16But you can't get mad at the undertaker.
21:18No, I guess you can't.
21:22Did I hear he took a shot at you?
21:25Someone did.
21:26Usually it's the father that does the shoot.
21:29But I haven't had much experience with ghosts.
21:31You don't look like a local boy to me.
21:36Just passing through on business, huh?
21:39Just passing through.
21:42Well, I hope you make it.
21:44Don't let them get you outnumbered.
21:53Good evening.
21:54Evening.
21:55Got a nice room on the street side?
21:57I think so.
22:01Maverick.
22:03That's the one over in the slough and that sees ghosts, isn't it?
22:05That's the one.
22:07Good friend of Mary Shea.
22:09Shane.
22:10He sure does have a grudge against your local undertaker.
22:14Mr. What's his name?
22:15Bert Nicholson.
22:17This poor Bert didn't have enough on his mind already.
22:20Why?
22:20Was he a friend of Mary Shea?
22:22More than that.
22:23They was right on the brink of getting married.
22:27Isn't that a shave?
22:47I knew the key to the whole thing was right here.
22:50Probably buried somewhere under the rock.
22:52But where would I begin?
22:55And what was I looking for?
23:02Bert, I'm afraid.
23:04Don't stop that.
23:05Get a hold of yourself.
23:05It could be anybody.
23:06It's him.
23:07I know it's him.
23:08What are we going to do?
23:09You're going to hide him there quick.
23:13Clear away some of that just in case.
23:15Who is it?
23:24I've got to talk to your business.
23:32What is it?
23:32Who are you?
23:33Are you Nicholson?
23:35Yes, that's right.
23:35What can I do for you?
23:37You can tell me where the money is hid.
23:39Money?
23:40What money?
23:40All of it, mister.
23:41$60,000 with a Wells Fargo label on it.
23:44Me?
23:45$60,000?
23:46Well, this is ridiculous.
23:47It's going to be worse than that.
23:48It's going to be fatal in just about three seconds.
23:52Oh, no.
23:53Wait a minute, mister.
23:54You've got the wrong man.
23:55No, you got the wrong man.
23:57You tried to kill a fellow today.
23:59Just because he and I fit the same description.
24:02I don't make mistakes as easy as you do.
24:04Not when there's $60,000 in the pot.
24:07I've trailed that money a long way.
24:09And the trail leads right to you.
24:11Well, what would I know about $60,000?
24:13What would you know about Mary Shane?
24:16Mary Shane?
24:17She died, they tell me.
24:19Sudden and convenient.
24:22You don't make sense, mister.
24:23I don't, huh?
24:24If I wanted someone to think I was dead, who would I get to help me?
24:29The Undertaker.
24:30Why?
24:31Why would I do a thing like that?
24:32Because maybe Mary Shane gave you something to do.
24:35I'd like part of that $60,000.
24:39When I count to three, this thing goes off.
24:43One.
24:44Well, now, wait.
24:45Now, Felton, listen.
24:47Felton?
24:48That's real interesting.
24:50I signed the hotel register, Foster.
24:52Two.
24:54Now, wait.
24:54I'll tell you.
24:56I'll tell you.
24:58I had a feeling you're with.
25:00It's hidden.
25:02It's buried in a box.
25:04Out on the north side of the canyon.
25:06Wait.
25:06That was a stupid thing to do.
25:16I'll tell you.
25:46Let's go.
26:16Well, isn't it nice to have neighbors drop in?
26:23I think we've had enough of your jokes, Maverick.
26:26Did you make a special trip to tell me that?
26:28You had me misjudging you. I thought you was harmless.
26:30You had yourself a real good joke with Bert Nicholson,
26:33but he ain't laughing anymore.
26:35Would you mind telling me what you good people are talking about?
26:37Where were you 20 minutes ago?
26:39I was riding out west of town.
26:41All by yourself?
26:43That's right.
26:43You made it real clear around here that you don't think much of our undertaker.
26:47I don't like being gunned by a man I've never seen before.
26:49And you're just the type to do something about it, is that it?
26:52In general.
26:53Sheriff, what are you getting at?
26:55You're under arrest for the murder of Bertram Nicholson.
26:57What?
26:57And I'm obliged to warn you that anything you say may be used in evidence against you.
27:01You just rest easy in there, son.
27:08Circuit Judge will be in town next week.
27:10He'll see that you get a fair trial.
27:12Keep a close eye on him, George.
27:13Now, he's inclined to be the least bit tricky.
27:20He's the killer.
27:21I know that the minute he rode into town.
27:23I was the first one he talked to.
27:25And I could tell he was looking for a guy to gun right then.
27:28How was that, Jeff?
27:29Well, he'd come riding up to my place, looking mean as all get out.
27:33Well, he as much as said, he was tracking down a man to kill.
27:36Anybody in particular?
27:37Sure.
27:38The kid you had to kill in that poker game.
27:39Kid in the checkity shirt?
27:40That's right.
27:41And then when he found he couldn't kill him, he started looking for somebody else.
27:45Well, he's learning his lesson the hard way.
27:46He just don't come into White Rock and gun down decent people in their own funeral parlor.
27:51If he don't know it now, he'll know it this time next week.
27:54Judge McClure gives that element short shift.
27:57I'd give him shorter than that.
27:58I wouldn't even wait for Judge McClure.
28:00He's been known to turn people loose.
28:02What would you do?
28:03Well, my daddy was a boy the way he used to tell it.
28:06When they caught a killer, they killed the killer.
28:08That's the way it ought to be now.
28:09One thing we got plenty of around here is cottonwood trees.
28:12And rope.
28:13We've got peace officers, too.
28:26Everything all right, George?
28:27As quiet as a church.
28:30I hope it stays that way.
28:32Better keep that front door locked.
28:34Afraid I might break out, Sheriff?
28:36No.
28:37Afraid the folks in town might break in.
28:40Is it that bad?
28:42Better get that shotgun and keep it across your lap.
28:44I sure will, Sheriff.
28:45I know.
29:03I know.
29:04I know.
29:04We're on board, sir.
29:05Let's go.

35:51What were those shots I heard back there?
35:54I thought I heard shots.
35:56Probably some of the crowd at the saloon.
35:57The saloon was closed.
35:59Well, that's right, it was.
36:02I thought so.
36:09The deputy?
36:11Well, yes.
36:12Why?
36:14Well, if I hadn't those people back there, I'd be looking for both of us.
36:17Thanks.
36:18Now they're just looking for me.
36:20You know, Foster, this is a real tiresome habit you're getting into.
36:24This is a second killing you've hung on me.
36:26Why'd you shoot Nicholson?
36:30Well, I tell you.
36:31It's a funny thing about me.
36:33Look out!
36:35Look out!
36:37Fuck!
36:38Come on!
36:39Hund!
36:39Come on!
36:56Come on!
36:57Come on!
36:57Come on!
36:58Come on!
36:58Come here!
37:00You're gone!
37:01Come on!
37:01I couldn't ride back into town without the answer.
37:24And if I was ever going to find it, the rock slide was the only hope.
37:31I couldn't find it anymore.
37:59Ain't it time the house bought a drink?
38:20I thought you went home for the night.
38:23I did, but I've seen your lights go back on.
38:26You sleep with one eye cocked on this place?
38:28I'm just being neighborly.
38:30Why aren't you out searching the town with the others?
38:32Well, I figured if you're gonna have to mess out on the fun,
38:35the least I can do is keep you company.
38:39Any luck?
38:40We don't seem to be hiding in town.
38:42I don't see you searching the countryside in the dead of night.
38:45Well, since we're all up, we might as well have another drink.
38:58Let's go.
39:00Let's go.
39:01Let's go.
39:02Let's go.
39:03Let's go.
39:04Let's go.
39:05Let's go.
39:06Let's go.
39:36Good evening, Mrs. Shane.
39:45Looks like we're bound to keep running into each other.
39:48How did you find me?
39:50Well, I can tell you, it wasn't easy.
39:52I'll just bet it wasn't.
39:54It's a long way from Montana to Texas,
39:56when you have to stop and kill people all along the way.
39:58Now, that's a terrible thing to say about anybody.
40:01It wasn't my husband's idea to break out of prison.
40:03He promised me he'd serve his fault sentence.
40:06So he wouldn't have to run anymore.
40:09And then you came along.
40:11He wrote me about it.
40:12It was you planned the break.
40:14And it was you killed the guard.
40:16Maybe.
40:17When you found out what you needed to know about the hold-up money,
40:20you killed my husband, too.
40:22And you killed Bert Nicholson.
40:25You didn't have to kill Bert.
40:26Ma'am, you're jumping to an awful lot of conclusions.
40:31No, I'm not.
40:34How could you have known where I was?
40:36What name I was using?
40:38Nobody but my husband knew that.
40:41And maybe the man he broke out of jail with.
40:44You sound like you were there at the time.
40:46I didn't have to be.
40:48It was in the paper when the two of you escaped.
40:49I knew you'd show up.
40:53The paper gave you a name and your description.
40:55Yeah, I figured it would.
40:59Ma'am, I wish you wouldn't stand so close to that one wrong step
41:02and you could turn your ankle.
41:04I take it this is where the treasure's buried.
41:13How much money you figure we got here?
41:15Exactly, $59,400.
41:18I used $600 to live on
41:19while I was waiting for my husband.
41:23You sure buried it deep.
41:26The rock slide did that.
41:28It wasn't my idea.
41:29I'd recommend you use the shovel, Mr. Felton.
41:36Fact.
41:37I insist on it.
41:44Well, I'll be.
41:46Take those guns out real easy.
41:48Drop them.
41:55Now.
41:57Dig.
41:59That's fair enough.
42:07What do you think we ought to do with this money?
42:09I know what I'm going to do with it.
42:11We're going to turn it over to the people it belongs to.
42:13The money and you.
42:15Couldn't you have turned it in when they captured your husband?
42:18Saved everybody a lot of fuss and bother?
42:20I promised him I'd hide out and hold it for him.
42:23I was loyal to him.
42:27And the undertaker, too?
42:28Just you keep digging.
42:35Well, the least you could do is talk to me while I'm working.
42:40It wasn't my fault I met Bert.
42:43I couldn't help falling in love with him.
42:45He was the kindest man I ever met.
42:48But I still didn't tell him about the money.
42:51Not till I read about the jailbreak.
42:53If either one of you would have been smart, you'd have dug up the money and hit the trail right then.
42:58We came to dig it up.
43:00The rock slide was over it.
43:04Ma'am, I'm thankful to you.
43:06You finally told me why you played dead.
43:09When your husband got here, you'd hear the news and keep on going.
43:12Right?
43:12He was the shovel.
43:32I'll take that.
43:33No, I'll take that.
43:39I'll shoot.
43:46I just thought you'd talk a little easier holding a rifle.
43:51I took the precautions to empty it first.
43:55You going to kill me?
43:56Mrs. Shane, I have a confession to make to you.
44:03My name isn't Felton, and I never knew your husband.
44:07I hope you brought your own coat this time.
44:10That's good.
44:11I've become attached to mine.
44:13Shall we start back toward town?
44:15If you're not Felton, who are you?
44:18My name's Maverick, like I told you before.
44:20I'm just a plain old innocent bystander.
44:23Tell me something, Mrs. Shane.
44:28What was the point and purpose of us going buggy riding?
44:33Bert saw you in the saloon.
44:36We knew Felton was coming, and you matched the description.
44:39I was to get you out there where we stopped the buggy,
44:42and Bert would be waiting with a rifle.
44:45He was going to shoot me in cold blood?
44:47We thought you were Felton.
44:49It was kill or be killed.
44:51Besides, Felton was wanted dead or alive.
44:55Bert didn't show up.
44:57It was a boy killed in a poker game,
44:59and they came to get Bert, and he couldn't get out of it.
45:03Sure is a small world, isn't it?
45:05I didn't mean to keep you waiting so long.
45:25I see you've made good use of your time.
45:27Oh, well, now that's more than I can say for you.
45:29I figured you'd at least have your feet loose by now.
45:33I've got to talk to you.
45:35You can do all the talking you want on the way to the sheriff's office.
45:39I want to talk in private.
45:40You're among friends.
45:42Oh, by the way, I forgot the introductions.
45:44Mrs. Shane, Mr. Felton.
45:47There's one thing I have to know.
45:48Is my husband dead?
45:55Did you kill him?
45:57I don't like the way you put that.
46:00Let's just say he's dead.
46:03All right, get on your horse.
46:13Hey, Sheriff!
46:14I don't believe it.
46:44I'm going to tell you something, Mr. Maverick.
47:02Up until a half an hour ago, when that telegram came in on those two convicts,
47:05I still didn't believe you.
47:07If we had hung it, it sure would have been a joke on us.
47:12Yeah, wouldn't it?
47:12Though I'd have died laughing.
47:14You'll be staying with us for a while, won't you?
47:17At least till the reward comes through on the Wells Fargo money?
47:19That might not be a bad idea.
47:21Sheriff, just how much do you figure that reward will come to?
47:23Well, figuring 5%, I'd say around $3,000.
47:27What's the matter, Mr. Maverick?
47:29That's exactly how much the kid stole from me.
47:31I'm just breaking even.
47:34Well, we can take care of that.
47:36I don't suppose you're a poker-playing man.
47:39Well, I've always meant to try it once.
47:40Well, Mr. Maverick, there's no time like the present.
47:43And his credit's good.
47:45Right this way.
47:48Here for you.
47:53We always let newcomers have first deal.
47:56Now, let me see if I've got this right.
48:02Uh, each player gets five cards, right?
