17:19 [Sound of horse hooves]
17:27 Well, skin me alive or do I need spanked?
17:31 [Laughter]
17:35 Maybe he means it.
17:37 [Laughter]
17:39 [Chatter]
17:46 No more drinks, boys. Put that sign back where it belongs.
17:52 I've seen you draw and I know you've got your advantage.
17:55 I always try to start even.
17:58 If you'll just take off that tin badge and slip off your gun belt, I'll give you plenty of argument.
18:05 I'm always willing to blotch.
18:10 Looks like the new sheriff made his first mistake.
18:20 [Chatter]
18:40 [Chatter]
18:50 [Chatter]
19:10 [Chatter]
19:20 Now you've still got time to put that sign back where you got it.
19:40 [Chatter]
20:00 [Sound of horse hooves]
20:25 But the idea of leaving town is soon.
20:27 I got tangled up with that new sheriff.
20:30 Yeah? You know, I'm quite anxious to meet that gent myself. Alone.
20:36 You pull a fumble into town after I get rid of him.
20:40 Holman, he ain't easy.
20:41 No? We'll see about that.
20:48 We'll just keep out of range and be handy if Bill happens to need us.
20:53 [Sound of horse hooves]
21:13 [Sound of horse hooves]
21:30 Mmm, these are good potatoes.
21:36 What's the matter, Miss Molly? Don't you like your own cooking?
21:41 I hear Bill Holman's coming to shoot it out with you.
21:45 Maybe so.
21:47 Why must grown men settle their differences with guns?
21:50 Why should you want to kill each other?
21:52 Miss Molly, you know, that's something I never have been able to figure out.
21:56 Say, that pilot's mighty good. I'm going to have me a piece of that right now.
22:00 Sheriff! Hey, Sheriff! Sheriff!
22:05 Excuse me, Miss Molly. Is the sheriff in?
22:06 Right in here.
22:10 Bill Holman's down at the saloon. He told me to give you this.
22:13 He said if you didn't come down there, he's coming up here.
22:16 I'll save him the trouble.
22:18 Excuse me.
22:23 I'd sure like to gut that piece of pie.
22:26 Might have slowed me down, though.
22:32 Did you bake that pie, Miss Molly?
22:35 I wish I knew how to stop you from going down there.
22:40 Miss Molly, I guess nobody can do that.
22:45 I'm going to have to get you out of here.
22:50 [Door slams]
22:56 [Door slams]

24:27 [Footsteps]
24:32 Phew!
24:35 Hello, Zeke.
24:37 Well, I'm glad that's over.
24:39 How's Holman?
24:41 He's alive. Seems to be all right. He's hollering for a doctor.
24:44 I don't think it'll be anything that'll prove fatal.
24:47 I didn't intend for it to be.
24:49 You know, you're the first man in this town ever wore that badge and come out top dog.
24:53 Yeah? Maybe in a week or so, I'll be the underdog.
24:57 Folks around here will be wanting to string me up.
24:59 Oh, what makes you talk like that?
25:01 I've seen things like that happen before.
25:04 How do you feel now, boss?
25:07 I'm a little bit dizzy, but I guess I'm all right.
25:10 We'll take care of Sheriff Morton.
25:13 No, big boy.
25:15 Morton draws fast with his huge square.
25:19 From now on, the Bar X crowd will do their celebrating outside of town limits.
25:24 And work with the law.
25:27 [Footsteps]
25:30 [Door slams]
25:31 Oh, excuse me.
25:33 Hello, Miss Molly.
25:35 Well, uh, we were just thinking that you might be more comfortable in your office if it were cleaned up a bit.
25:40 Well, now, a little dirt won't bother me none.
25:42 Well, Ma said for me to clean it up anyway.
25:45 Go ahead. Can I help you?
25:47 No, thanks. I can manage it alone.
25:50 Say, you're pretty handy with that broom.
25:52 Well, it's a new broom.
25:54 You know the old saying, "The new broom sweeps clean."
25:57 That's right.
25:58 You know something?
26:00 What?
26:01 Well, uh, Mother and I have been talking, just between ourselves, you know.
26:05 And, well, we were wondering, just what's on your mind?
26:09 You always act as though you were looking for someone that never showed up.
26:13 Know what I mean?
26:15 [Chuckles]
26:17 Who would I be looking for?
26:19 Or who'd be looking for me?
26:20 I don't know.
26:22 Who would be?
26:24 Oh, Sheriff, you inside?
26:27 Be right out.
26:29 Excuse me, Miss Molly.
26:33 Oh.
26:34 Oh, hello, Zeke.
26:35 Hi.
26:36 I'd invite you in. Molly's in there cleaning out the cobwebs.
26:40 Oh.
26:41 Got time to sit down?
26:42 Oh, sure. That's fine.
26:44 Oh, let's put our legs off the belt.
26:46 [Chuckles]
26:48 [Groans]
26:50 What's on your mind, Zeke?
26:52 Oh, nothing important.
26:54 I'd just come from a meeting of the town council.
26:58 Say, I'll bet before I come here, this is quite a boon town.
27:02 Plenty of pay dirt going through here.
27:03 Hmm, hmm.
27:04 Plenty of pay dirt coming through here now.
27:06 The Pandora payroll.
27:08 I've been aiming to tell you about that for more than a week.
27:11 You know, I kind of feel responsible.
27:14 Now, when Morgan was killed, Molly's father,
27:17 I got the appointment for his widow as postmistress and express agent.
27:21 I see.
27:23 [Silence]
27:37 [Thud]
27:39 [Silence]
28:04 Well, Miss Molly, you cleaned that up in a hurry.
28:08 Yes.
28:10 Well, it wasn't much, really.
28:13 [Silence]
28:25 You were starting to say something when Miss Molly came out, Zeke.
28:28 What was it?
28:29 Oh, yeah, yeah, well,
28:31 now there's a lot of the town folks that don't like the idea of a woman postmistress.
28:37 And if anything was to happen to the Pandora payroll,
28:40 well, it might look as though the job was just a little too much for a woman,
28:44 and she'd be out.
28:46 Don't you see?
28:47 Yes, I do see.
28:49 Well, I thought, seeing as how you were boarding across the street with them,
28:54 that you might kind of keep your eye on the keys to the safe.
29:00 Well, I guess I'll mosey back.
29:02 So long.
29:03 So long, Zeke.
29:05 [Silence]
29:15 [Footsteps]
29:38 Hello, Zeke.
29:39 Hi, Zeke.
29:40 Chuck.
29:41 Bart.
29:43 Anybody see you boys come in here?
29:45 No, I don't reckon so.
29:47 Why, it's a shame it would be.
29:49 Anyhow, we ain't no one hereabouts.
29:51 Hey, did you get my note?
29:53 Sure.
29:54 Well, why don't you show up to meet us, then?
29:56 I've got a little personal business to take care of first.
29:59 We heard about that.
30:01 Kind of funny you wearing that.
30:03 Yeah.
30:05 Happened kind of accidental.
30:08 Hey, I've known you fellas long enough to know you didn't ride into town
30:12 just to look after my health or ask after it.
30:15 What's up?
30:16 Well, let's get down to bedrock.
30:19 When you framed her some months ago over that Elk Pass,
30:23 and for a crime you didn't commit,
30:25 it was Bart there and me that dug up the evidence
30:29 that proved you never robbed no bank.
30:32 Yeah.
30:33 I'm not forgetting that either.
30:35 I was figuring that.
30:37 And that perhaps you was about ready to repay it.
30:42 Hey, if it's money you boys think I have, you're clean out of luck.
30:46 Why, I could raise $100.
30:49 With what I've got in mind, you can get $20,000.
30:55 I don't get you.
30:57 Payroll for the Pandora mine come through here on the night of the 30th, don't it?
31:01 And they put it in a post office safe and you live in a room in back of it.
31:07 I see.
31:09 You boys--
31:10 Be out of town on the night of the 31st when we come into town.
31:13 Oh.
31:16 What are you camping?
31:17 Oh, uh, first floor west of town.
31:22 Did you say the 31st?
31:23 Right.
31:30 What are you doing that for?
31:33 Just so I won't forget it.
31:36 Well, go on, Jake.
31:39 Go on, boys.
31:45 I'll be seeing you.
31:51 I'm thinking you will.
31:58 The way you acted in church today, you would have thought the roof was falling on top of you.
32:02 The way you sat and looked around and up at the ceiling.
32:07 Well, it's the first time I've been in church for quite a while.
32:11 You'd be better off if you attended more often.
32:14 That's what I used to tell my husband.
32:17 It was an awful job to try to get him to go to church.
32:20 There never was much of a church goer, was there?
32:22 No.
32:24 Well, you know what I think I'm going to be.
32:26 Good night, Jim.
32:27 Good night, Mom.
32:28 Don't you be up too late.
32:37 Jim, tell me something.
32:39 Why do they call you Trigger?
32:41 Why, uh...
32:42 Is it because you're so handy with those guns?
32:45 Yes, it is.
32:47 Haven't they ever gotten you into any trouble?
32:51 Oh, yes, they have.
32:53 Jim, you started to tell Mother something tonight before I came into the room.
32:59 Something about what happened before you came here.
33:03 When I came in, you stopped talking.
33:06 Don't you think I ought to know?
33:10 Miss Molly, there's a lot of things I'd like to tell you.
33:13 I can't yet.
33:16 Well, I guess I'll go out and mosey around the street a little before I turn in.
33:20 But this time of night?
33:22 Yes, I won't be out late.
33:25 I have the keys, too.
33:28 Good night.
33:29 Good night.
33:30 Good night.
33:31 Good night.
33:32 [The door closes.]
34:01 [The door opens.]
34:20 Hey, kid.
34:21 Hustle up some more wood here.
34:23 Be a now before we go to work, Captain.
34:33 [The door closes.]
34:54 Hi, Trig.
34:56 Hi, boss.
34:57 Hi, boys.
34:58 Well, Trig, I know you'd throw in with us.
35:02 Hold on, boys.
35:03 I got something to say that ain't going to be very popular.
35:07 Why, what's the matter now?
35:09 Button your lips.
35:10 Let him talk.
35:11 Sit down, Trig.
35:16 Well, we're listening.
35:18 You boys ain't riding into town.
35:21 Well, you ain't going to stop us, are you?
35:23 If I am, that needn't bother you.
35:26 You fellows are entitled to a warning.
35:28 And I'm posting it now.
35:32 Well, I can understand an old wolf getting a bit unsociable after he's been pinned up.
35:39 But this sure enough beats me.
35:42 Speak up plain, Chuck.
35:43 I've been a thinking.
35:46 Maybe that payroll looks bigger when it's all in one chunk without no splitting.
35:52 That's plain enough, ain't it?
35:56 You can think whatever you want as long as you stay out of town.
36:00 And if we don't?
36:03 You'll be seeing me.
36:05 Maybe you'll arrest us and put us in jail, eh, Sheriff?
36:10 That ain't at all unlikely.
36:15 Go ahead, Chuck.
36:16 Have a good laugh.
36:17 Don't let your sense of humor lead you into making a mistake.
36:20 Now you listen to me.
36:23 We're going to get that payroll.
36:26 You can throw in with us or not, just as you like.
36:30 That's right, Chuck. We're with you.
36:31 You said it.
36:34 I've had my say, boys.
36:36 Just a minute.
36:39 Seeing as you've been a warning, there's maybe there's a joker in this deck that you ought to know about.
36:46 What's that?
36:48 Hey, kid!
36:52 Come here!
36:53 Let this law and order brother of yours get a look at you.
37:11 Hello, Trigger.
37:13 What are you doing here?
37:15 Oh, I got tired of hanging on to Ma's apron strings.
37:19 When did you arrive?
37:22 A couple of days before you got out of jail.
37:24 You get back on your horse and get going.
37:26 Don't you stop till you get home.
37:28 I told him you'd hide Caleb since you found out.
37:31 I don't have to do it if I don't want to.
37:33 Kid, you're going.
37:35 Listen, Trigger.
37:37 I'm free white and 21.
37:39 And you're through bossing me.
37:41 If you don't think so, you just try it.
37:47 Yeah, I hated to do that, kid.
37:54 I'm not going to let you get mixed up in this.
37:56 Look out, freak!
37:58 Here, tie him up.
38:14 Get those guns ready.
38:15 I got them.
38:21 Come here, get that line on his hand.
38:23 Get it.
38:29 There.
38:31 Make it tight.
38:32 Tight.
38:33 There.
38:37 Oh, keys, eh?
38:41 Maybe they'll open the safe in the express office.
38:45 Well, we'll soon find out.
38:47 Come on, boys, let's go.
38:54 Kid!
38:55 Ed!
38:56 Come here.
39:01 Come here, boy.
39:08 Ed.
39:10 Remember you promised to go straight?
39:15 Yeah.
39:16 Well, I'm holding you to that promise.
39:18 You can't do this.
39:21 Come on.
39:24 It's not right and you know it.
39:27 Come on, Ed.
39:29 Trigger.
39:30 Aye.
39:31 Aye.
39:33 Make up your mind, kid.
39:35 Are you going to stay here or do you want to get in on that payroll?
39:41 I'm sorry, Trigger.
39:42 Come on, let's go.
39:45 [laughs]
39:51 Oh, wait a minute.
39:53 You stay here and watch it.
40:22 [laughs]
40:29 [laughs]
40:39 [laughs]
41:02 I thought I smelled something burning up the old crate, eh, Trigger?
41:05 Pretty smart, isn't it?
41:27 Let's take it easy.
41:29 We'll drift into town quiet-like and separate when we get there.
41:32 Who's going in after the money?
41:34 I am.
41:35 You boys stay out of sight and be ready to cover me up.
41:38 You betcha.
41:39 As soon as I get the money, I'll whistle.
41:41 And we'll drift out quiet-like just like we came in.
42:10 [laughs]
42:18 I think I'll just play me a little, folks.
42:20 Go ahead.
42:23 Come on, boys.
42:50 [laughs]
43:00 [laughs]
43:10 [laughs]
43:20 [laughs]
43:30 [laughs]
43:40 [laughs]
43:50 [laughs]
44:00 [laughs]
44:20 Jim?
44:22 Jim?
44:26 [whistles]
44:47 It's Trigger.
44:49 Make him follow you.
45:18 [whistles]
45:30 Molly.
45:31 Molly.
45:32 What's happened?
45:33 Nothing, Mom.
45:34 Oh.
45:38 They didn't get the money, did they?
45:40 No.
45:42 Where's Trigger?
45:43 Well, he's out.
45:44 After them, I guess.
45:45 Oh.
45:46 Sure scared me for a minute.
45:48 Well, now that everything's all right, Molly, we can just lock up.
45:52 Good night, Zeke.
45:54 Good night.
46:14 [whistles]
46:24 [whistles]
46:34 [whistles]
46:44 [whistles]
47:11 Go ahead.
47:12 Get it over with.
47:15 No, no, Chuck.
47:17 I can't forget you did me a good turn once.
47:19 Get up from there.
47:21 Come on.
47:26 Don't ever let our trails cross again.
47:29 Now get going.
47:31 Come on.
48:00 [whistles]
48:10 [whistles]
48:20 [whistles]
48:40 [whistles]
48:59 Don't tell them which way they went.
49:01 We'll never pick up their trail tonight.
49:03 Let's go back.
49:15 Now that we're all together, we better shake the dust of this country off our boots.
49:19 With that haul we made, we better leave right away.
49:21 That haul ain't with us.
49:23 What?
49:24 Trigger got him.
49:25 Why, the--
49:26 Where's the kid?
49:27 Oh, they must have got him.
49:29 I hope so.
49:58 You able to ride, buddy?
50:00 I'll try.
50:01 Well, get on your horse.
50:14 [laughs]
50:28 [whistle]
50:56 [whistles]
51:06 [whistles]
51:26 [whistles]
51:49 All right, get off of that horse.
52:04 There's a present for you, Sheriff.
52:06 You had a spill out there and I picked him up while he's still counting stars.
52:10 Bring him in.
52:16 Sit down.
52:19 Sit down.
52:21 Where's the rest of them?
52:23 They come back empty-handed.
52:24 I'll handle this one.
52:26 All right, but he's a spunky little devil.
52:45 Now you tell Jim Morton to drink this coffee and to get over here just as soon as he can and have his breakfast.
52:50 Goodness sakes, that man's been up all night long.
52:53 It's a good thing for us he was.
53:03 Well, Eddie, what have you got to say to this?
53:09 I guess I ain't got much to say now.
53:12 You wouldn't take my advice, kid.
53:15 You wouldn't listen to my warning.
53:17 I ought to let you take your medicine.
53:19 What are you going to do with me, Jim?
53:23 You being my brother makes it mighty difficult.
53:26 I'm going to put you in a cell for safekeeping.
53:30 You wouldn't put me in jail, would you, Jim?
53:32 For safekeeping, so some of the citizens around here don't take it into their head to make you an example of Western justice.
53:40 Come on.
54:03 Why do you think I turned against the men who used to be my friends?
54:06 Why do you think I shot out with Chuck and the rest of the boys?
54:09 I don't know.
54:10 I can't answer that.
54:12 Because I thought I could start all over again with a clean slate.
54:15 Because I saw a chance at happiness and was a fool enough to think I could have it.
54:19 Give me one break, Jim.
54:20 I'm your brother.
54:21 I'll go straight.
54:22 I didn't know what I was getting into when I joined up with that gang.
54:25 Honest, I didn't.
54:45 Good morning, Molly.
54:46 Good morning, Jim.
54:47 I brought you some coffee.
54:49 I thought maybe you'd like some.
54:51 Thanks a lot.
54:53 I'm not hungry.
54:55 Give it to my...
54:57 There's a prisoner in there.
54:59 I'm sorry.
55:21 I was wondering if I was ever going to eat again.
55:32 The sheriff said for me to give you this.
55:34 Thanks.
55:39 Thanks.
55:46 You know, I'm beginning to realize what my brother meant when he said he had a real
55:50 chance at happiness.
55:52 Why did you ever come here?
55:54 I don't know.
56:14 If you were out, would you go straight?
56:18 Would I?
56:20 You just give me a chance.
56:49 Where are you going?
57:18 I'm heading back where I belong.
57:22 Why?
57:23 Well, it's no use for me staying here now.
57:28 That kid I've got over there in jail, my brother.
57:32 I know that.
57:33 But no one else does.
57:35 You don't have to go.
57:37 Your record's clean here.
57:39 You're respected.
57:41 Only the future counts now.
57:45 Gee, that's nice of you to say that, Molly.
57:49 But with a kid in jail...
57:51 Well, I saw him riding away just a moment ago.
57:54 And he was on your horse, too.
57:56 On Tarzan?
57:57 Yes, Jim.
57:58 You see, you brought back the payroll.
58:02 That meant a lot to my mother.
58:04 Your brother means a lot to you.
58:06 I gave him a chance.
58:09 We don't want you to go.
58:15 Molly, I guess there is something.
58:18 I'm not looking forward to the future.
