00:10♪♪
00:20♪♪
00:30♪♪
00:40Vic.
00:46All right. Ready.
00:51Who is he?
00:53Just a stranger riding into town.
00:55He never knew what hit him.
00:57♪♪
01:07♪♪
01:18♪♪
01:26Sheriff Wilkes!
01:28Somebody, help me!
01:30Sheriff Wilkes!
01:47♪♪
01:57♪♪
02:07Right piece from Cheryl, Mr. Sams.
02:10Seen as there were no mourners, Mr. Wilkes, I say it came off tolerable.
02:17♪♪
02:27♪♪
02:32Morning.
02:34What can I do for you, mister?
02:36My name's Randall. I'm, uh, I'm here looking for a man.
02:38Are we all?
02:40This one's close.
02:42Well, maybe we better go and sit down.
02:48Sit down.
02:51How about this fella you're after?
02:53I lost him in the Big Hat Mountains.
02:55How long back?
02:57Two days. Trailed him ever since he killed a kid up in Green River.
03:00A kid? Is this something personal?
03:02No. Except the kid didn't have a gun.
03:05Nobody in Green River wanted to bother. I did.
03:07You saw it happen?
03:09No, no, I didn't. I got there later.
03:11But the description they gave me, it was the same man that robbed that Butterfield Depot in Yuma.
03:15Also, the same man that robbed a bank up in the Dakotas.
03:17Oh. What's he look like?
03:20He ought to be worth something.
03:21He is.
03:27$2,500.
03:29Like I said, I've never seen him.
03:31I got close enough to hear him once.
03:33Got his description and what kind of a horse he's riding.
03:35I figure he's got to stop here for food and water.
03:37You haven't said anything yet.
03:39And you don't sound like you're too anxious to share the reward.
03:43These all the flyers you got?
03:45I just take care of my own territory.
03:47Maybe that's why he came this far west.
03:50Nobody knows him.
03:52Let's stop playing cat and mouse.
03:55If he kills you, the reward money won't be any good.
03:57And I might be able to help you.
04:03He was riding a daffled gray with a McClellan saddle.
04:05His name is Warsaw. Vic Warsaw.
04:08Warsaw?
04:14Take a look.
04:17Go on.
04:18Open it up. Take a look.
04:28Receipt for one horse, $25 to Vic Warsaw.
04:35Victor Warsaw is hereby dishonorably discharged from the United States Cavalry.
04:39Victor Warsaw.
04:41Relief from Kansas City State Penitentiary, August 19th.
04:46Puts your man to a tee, don't it?
04:47Yeah.
04:52Where is he?
05:01We're lucky we might be able to sell some of this junk to pay for taking care of him.
05:05Where is he?
05:08We buried him this morning.
05:10A young lady by the name of Lucy Fremont shot him dead as a doornail last night.
05:14He was trying to molest her.
05:22Where's his horse?
05:24Outside.
05:26You know, Mr. Fremont,
05:27I don't know if you're going to believe this,
05:29but I'm going to tell you the truth.
05:31Outside.
05:33You know, mister, it looks like he lost your bet.
05:36If you hadn't have come by here, nobody would have known he was worth a plug nickel.
05:43Sam, hide the store.
05:44I'm riding up to Cedar City to get the U.S. Marshal.
05:46U.S. Marshal?
05:47Yeah.
05:48Guess who that fellow was?
05:49The one that Miss Lucy shot last night.
05:51One of them three states.
05:52$2,500 bounty on him.
05:54How do you know?
05:55Tell him, mister.
05:56Tell him how you missed your bounty by 12 hours.
05:58All that money for Miss Lucy.
06:01That's his horse?
06:03Uh-huh.
06:04Well, I'll be back in the morning with the Marshal and the money.
06:06Give him a big surprise.
06:07Now, Sam, don't you say a word about this to anybody, you hear?
06:09I won't, Sheriff.
06:11If you're not here when I get back, thanks for the information.
06:14Those things you have in there, uh...
06:17Is that all he had on him?
06:18Yeah.
06:20You know, for a fellow that stole as much as he did in his lifetime,
06:22he didn't end up with much, did he?
06:24Two silver dollars and an old watch.
06:27Well, take care of things, Sam, you hear?
06:28Sure, Sheriff.
06:32Thank you.
06:38$2,500 for Miss Lucy.
06:41What do you think of that?
07:01Thank you.
07:32I'll tell you, it's as true as the gospel.
07:34I just heard about it a minute ago.
07:36The Sheriff's on the way to get the U.S. Marshal at Cedar City.
07:39Lord in heaven.
07:40All that money for Miss Lucy.
07:42That's him, Mr. Simms.
07:43That's the fellow who brought the news.
07:45Not so good at keeping a secret now, are you?
07:56I'll tell you what.
07:58You kind of got in town a mite late, didn't you?
08:01It's actually kind of funny, huh?
08:03Or they say, the meek shall inherit the earth.
08:06This woman who did the shooting, uh...
08:08Who was she?
08:09Miss Lucy?
08:10Well, I'd say she was as poor as a church mouse.
08:13That is, until ten minutes ago.
08:15And pretty as a picture.
08:17She's a seamstress.
08:18She sews for just about everybody in town.
08:20Even a shroud now and then, when I need one.
08:22Well, that's good.
08:23She sews for just about everybody in town.
08:25Even a shroud now and then, when I need one.
08:28Why is it she carries a gun?
08:30Compliments of Sheriff Wilkes.
08:32Seems she was accosted once before.
08:34Sheriff insisted that she protect herself.
08:36Gave her a derringer.
08:42Well, I guess the only thing she's got to worry about now,
08:44is not to marry the first man who comes along, huh?
08:48If what you're saying is that you need someone eligible,
08:51I agree with you.
08:53Indeed, I certainly do agree with you.
08:55Well, no hurry. The money's not here yet.
08:58What are you trying to say?
08:59Well, this man you buried,
09:00did he have any of the clothes on him at all,
09:02except it was in that package?
09:04Are you implying that I took something for myself?
09:06No, I'm just asking a question.
09:08What you saw in that bundle is all that man owned.
09:11Except for his horse and his saddle.
09:12And what we buried with him.
09:14What was that?
09:15We sponged off his clothes to make them look as neat as possible.
09:18Shirt, pants, coat, socks.
09:21Socks had holes in them.
09:23Nothing else?
09:25As sure as I'm standing here.
09:28Then you didn't bury Vic Warsaw, mister.
09:32Wait a minute.
09:33What are you talking about?
09:44And it's coming for you in the morning, Miss Lucy.
09:46All that money. What do you think of that?
09:48I can't believe it. I honestly truly can't believe it.
09:50That's the man, Miss Lucy. That's the man.
09:55Hello.
09:57My name is Josh Randall.
09:58I wonder if I could speak to you for a moment.
10:01Why, certainly, Mr. Randall. Come in.
10:04Now, take care of yourself, Miss Lucy.
10:05Don't you be telling this lady something that's not true.
10:09What's not true, Mr. Simms?
10:10He's saying that we buried the wrong man.
10:12That you didn't shoot Vic Warsaw.
10:19Sit down, Mr. Randall.
10:22What proof do you have that you didn't kill Warsaw?
10:24We've got his papers,
10:26and the deputy told me that you identified his horse and his saddle.
10:30I'm asking you a question, mister.
10:32I believe I was talking to the lady.
10:34Now, you look here...
10:35It's all right, Mr. Simms.
10:37This is my house, Mr. Randall.
10:40I'm sorry about this, but this man you shot last night,
10:43what did he look like?
10:44Why, he was a good man.
10:46What did he look like?
10:47Why, I don't know. It was dark.
10:50With all due respect, you must have gotten a look at him.
10:53But I tell you, it was dark.
10:55What makes you think it wasn't Warsaw?
10:57If it's all right with you,
10:58I'd rather not say it's liable to put the lady in jeopardy, hmm?
11:01You're very kind.
11:03Well, I'll be speaking to the sheriff in the morning when he gets back.
11:06Mr. Randall, just where do you think this...
11:09This man, Warsaw, is?
11:12I don't know.
11:13Well, you better come up with a good story, mister.
11:16That's all I can say.
11:19Good day, Miss Lucy.
11:21And you have my sympathies.
11:29You're a very handsome woman and, uh, brave.
11:31I must say that.
11:33Thank you, Mr. Randall.
11:34Thank you kindly.
11:36Goodbye now.
11:43Goodbye.
12:14Well, say something.
12:16How did this thing go wrong?
12:18How did he figure you're still alive?
12:21What are you worried about?
12:23The sheriff won't be back till morning.
12:26We still have 12 hours.
12:32Now, who do you think they're going to believe?
12:34You or a dead man?
12:36I don't know.
12:38I don't know.
12:39Now, who do you think they're going to believe?
12:41You or a dead man?
13:10Kind of quiet, isn't it?
13:12You sure started something, didn't you, mister?
13:14I haven't done anything.
13:15Just waiting for the chair.
13:16That ain't the reason.
13:18If this Warsaw fella ain't dead,
13:20then why ain't you out there trailing him?
13:22Well, because I don't figure he ever left town.
13:24Well, you just answered your first question
13:26about everything being so quiet.
13:27Nobody else is.
13:29Well, I don't know.
13:31I don't know.
13:32I don't know.
13:33I don't know.
13:34I don't know.
13:35I don't know.
13:36I don't know.
13:37I don't know.
13:38So, why is everybody quiet?
13:39Nobody else does either.
13:41Of course, we don't know whether you're right or wrong.
13:44But we ain't a town that hankers with gunmen.
13:47If there's one in Lordsville,
13:48we're staying in our houses till he gets out.
13:50Or gets shot.
13:51Now, I'm going home, too.
14:03What you up to, Roy?
14:05I'm closing up, that's what.
14:06Well, if you see any business, the bar is closed.
14:10I was just over to Miss Lucy's house
14:12to see if everything's all right.
14:14She asked me to give you this.
14:15Much obliged.
14:36Oh, she just says that she doesn't hold anything
14:43against me.
14:44Hm?
14:57Sure act high and mighty around here, isn't he?
15:01What you so sore about, Sam?
15:03Is he beating you at time?
15:05Let's get out of here.
15:06Let's go.
15:37Oh, let them kill each other.
15:45What do I care?
16:36Let's go.
16:54Vic?
16:55Vic?
17:02Mr. Randall.
17:03Oh, good evening.
17:04You look a little surprised.
17:05What are you talking about?
17:06Well, your friend missed me, and I missed your friend.
17:08Then I think you'll be back.
17:13I've got a good mind to call for help.
17:14I'll bet you do.
17:15You write a very convincing letter, lady.
17:16But you shouldn't have been calling
17:17for Vic when I showed up.
17:20You think I did this for the money, don't you?
17:23Well, it's not true.
17:27It was either your life or mine.
17:28I wouldn't argue that.
17:31Now, listen to me.
17:32You had Vic crowded.
17:34He had to get you off his back.
17:36That's why he came here to Lordsville,
17:38because he knew he could force me to help him.
17:40You're breaking my heart.
17:41Well, you're not being fair.
17:43I haven't been free of Vic Walsall since the first day
17:45I got involved with him.
17:47I've tried to get free.
17:49I've lied to him.
17:50I've run away from him.
17:51But he always finds me.
17:53You're worth looking for.
17:54Now, don't toy with me, Mr. Randall.
17:58If I have to go to jail for what I've done,
18:00at least it's with a conscience I did it to save my life.
18:04You're a man.
18:05You can use a gun.
18:06I'm a woman.
18:08It's a nice speech.
18:09And I'm sure the judge will use it in your favor.
18:11See, tell me, did you really shoot that man
18:14they buried this morning?
18:15No.
18:16Vic shot him.
18:18He counted on you being fooled and giving up the chase.
18:22Why weren't you fooled, Mr. Randall?
18:25Let's stick to your story, hmm?
18:27I've said everything there is to say.
18:29If you knew Vic was in town, why'd you come here now?
18:32Well, I figured if you were mixed up in it,
18:34he'd be back.
18:37You shouldn't stay here, Mr. Randall,
18:38and take a chance on getting killed.
18:41I liked you from the first moment I saw you, Mr. Randall.
18:45Perhaps it's forward of me to say,
18:49but you're the kind of man I always hoped would come along
18:51and never did.
18:53Things were different.
18:54You and I could have quite a life together.
18:59Like I said before, you're a very handsome woman.
19:05I'll take you to him.
19:07I know where he is.
19:09All right.
19:10Let's get started.
19:29He said he'd hide in the dress shop if anything went wrong.
19:33I was to contact him there.
19:35I should have warned him we're waiting
19:36for him up in that porch.
19:37He could have changed his mind, that's what I'm trying to say.
19:40In other words, he could be anywhere in town.
19:42He could.
19:45Except he won't fire at you while I'm by your side.
19:49I don't think so.
19:50I don't think so.
19:51I don't think so.
19:52I don't think so.
19:53I don't think so.
19:54I don't think so.
19:55I don't think so.
19:56I don't think so.
19:57I'll be by your side.
20:00And when I see him, I'll nod, and you gun him down quick.
20:03Don't give him a chance to shoot, Mr. Randall.
20:06So you and I make a real nice pair.
20:27It's all right.
20:29Come on.
20:57Come on.
21:27What's the matter?
21:29Nothing.
21:30You're leading, ma'am.
21:37There he is.
21:39All right, Warsaw.
21:40Drop the gun.
21:46Beck!
21:57Beck!
22:11For what it's worth, I wouldn't have had to kill him
22:14if you hadn't tried to set me up.
22:17I picked the wrong man, didn't I?
22:20Maybe you and I could have had a life together.
22:23We might have met somewhere.
22:26Maybe you actually killed him in the first place.
22:28How'd you know I hadn't?
22:33You forgot these.
22:39Or maybe you both figured they buried men with their spurs on.
22:56I got your money for you.
23:21Now...
23:22Now...
23:28Very handsome woman.
23:30Yeah, a man could have a good life with her.
23:32Yeah, if he lived that long.
23:38I'll see you in a heck of a...
