00:00:30Any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is coincidental and unintentional.
00:01:01I said, where you going?
00:01:22What's all that shooting, Freeman?
00:01:24Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
00:01:27My boys are just keeping in practice.
00:01:57Freeman! Come out of there or I'll blow the place up and you with it.
00:02:13If that's the way you want it.
00:02:19Here's a little present for you.
00:02:27Thank you.
00:03:27$12,000, exactly the amount Jim Norton and his gang robbed from us last year.
00:03:42Put this in the safe, Carson.
00:03:44And so, on behalf of the company, I want to express our gratitude, Mr. Regan.
00:03:52Now, just a minute. This Freeman was Jim Norton's right hand, but that isn't really proof of anything.
00:03:59They split up after the robbery.
00:04:01There were six men in the gang, Logan, Hunter and Freeman.
00:04:05These three luckily were tracked down and gotten rid of by our bounty killer.
00:04:10Pardon, Mr. Regan, I mean.
00:04:13So that leaves Buck Dago and Sam Lister.
00:04:16The head of the gang, Jim Norton, was killed in Topeka.
00:04:21Jim Norton has a twin brother. An honest man, so they say.
00:04:26He might have something to tell us.
00:04:29At the moment, he's living in Montana.
00:04:33I'd like to pay him a call, just to be sure the money I found is the same money the gang stole from you.
00:04:39Now, look here, Regan. In Montana, they consider bounty killers like you not much better than bandits.
00:04:45I can't give you any protection.
00:04:49That won't matter much with a war going on.
00:04:52A war?
00:04:54Yep. War is broken out in Montana.
00:04:57Farmers fighting against cattlemen, ranchers, lynching.
00:05:02In Montana, everyone's an outlaw.
00:05:06There will come a morning.
00:05:10A deadly morning.
00:05:14The eye of the devil will burn like the sun in the sky.
00:05:21And men, they will run, they'll die.
00:05:27Who will be the coward?
00:05:31Who will be the brave?
00:05:35And who will remember the man who lay cold on the sand?
00:05:43The man who lay cold on the sand.
00:05:49The man who lay cold on the sand.
00:05:55One pound you've gone away.
00:05:59Your love's love heart's gone away.
00:06:03It's been eye for an eye.
00:06:05And how many men will die?
00:06:07There's more, Lord, no.
00:06:20One pound you've gone away.
00:06:24Your love's love heart's gone away.
00:06:28It's been eye for an eye.
00:06:30And how many men will die?
00:06:32There's more, Lord, no.
00:06:38One pound you've gone away.
00:06:42Your love's love heart's gone away.
00:06:46It's been eye for an eye.
00:06:49There will come a morning.
00:06:56A deadly morning.
00:07:00The eye of the devil will burn like the sun in the sky.
00:07:07And men, they will run or they'll die.
00:07:14And men, they will run or they'll die.
00:07:44And men, they will run or they'll die.
00:08:14Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:08:19Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:08:24Ooh, ooh.
00:08:27Ooh, ooh, ooh.

00:14:11Wait a moment, I think I'll go have a glass of beer.
00:14:31I'm not going to force you, Farley, but I can't give you more than five thousand dollars for your place. I haven't got any more.
00:14:37That's plenty, that's plenty, Norton. I just want to pack up and get out. Those thugs of Amos will threaten me.
00:14:43Son, what'll it be? Like a whiskey?
00:14:46No, a beer.
00:14:52You the new sheriff?
00:14:54It seems like it.
00:14:56Excuse me.
00:15:00When they got Sheriff Gibson, I had to buy a brand new mirror, you understand.
00:15:04Don't worry about it, pal. I'll try not to get killed for the sake of the mirror.
00:15:09Well, adios, Norton, and good luck to you.
00:15:11Adios.
00:15:16Would you have a drink with me?
00:15:18I'm Trevor Norton, Sheriff. Welcome to Miles City.
00:15:22Sure, I've heard of you, Mr. Norton. About your war with the ranchers.
00:15:26Oh, you have? I think that we farmers and the cattlemen can get along just fine.
00:15:31And you? What do you think, Sheriff?
00:15:35Yeah, sure, with barbed wire fences separating you.
00:15:39There's no more barbed wire.
00:15:41You're wrong. I can't imagine who it was who told all that nonsense to you, Norton.
00:15:47I'm Amos Bransbury.
00:15:49And you were about to say?
00:15:51That the farmers here are breaking the law. In Montana, the ranchers own the land.
00:15:56If we allow the farmers to take over the land and set up barbed wire fences,
00:16:00then our herds won't be able to graze.
00:16:02Montana has lots of space. There should be plenty for all.
00:16:07Agreed. If only the cattlemen could look at it that way.
00:16:10But unfortunately, they don't.
00:16:12They're powerful, Sheriff.
00:16:14And they're not going to stand back and let someone else get in there.
00:16:17Sheriff, there's a crowd outside the jail trying to break their way in.
00:16:26See you later, gentlemen.
00:16:28I'm really looking forward to the end of this conversation.
00:16:40Don't be a fool, Smitty. We'll break the door down.
00:16:43Open up and let Bill out of there, and we'll go away.
00:16:47And you get your boys out of here.
00:16:49First man that lays a hand on that door, I'm going to blast his smithereens.
00:16:52Now, you hear that?
00:16:56That's enough. That's enough.
00:16:59You've had your fun, now beat it.
00:17:01I'm the law around here.
00:17:03We're going to take Bill, Sheriff. The cattlemen are the ones to blame, not us.
00:17:07We'll see what the judge has to say.
00:17:09Until the trial, he's going to stay right here.
00:17:11Arrest Amos Brantbury.
00:17:13Why, he burns our fields and his herds destroy our seeds.
00:17:16I think it's about time we had a little justice.
00:17:19Seems to me you think that justice simply means getting what you want.
00:17:24You have a lot to learn in this town.
00:17:26Remember this, Sheriff. Some friendly advice.
00:17:29Go with us.
00:17:31It's the man in the middle who gets hurt.
00:17:35Let's go, boys.
00:17:45I'll stay right where you are.
00:17:46Hey, Smitty, it's me.
00:17:48Oh, I'm sorry, Sheriff. I don't see as good as you used to.
00:17:52I'm not worried about my head so much as my new hat.
00:17:54It won't happen again, Sheriff.
00:18:01This jail's too crowded for me. I want some peace and quiet.
00:18:04As soon as it's dark, I want that one to escape.
00:18:07Have a horse ready and some provisions.
00:18:09We're going to make this real easy.
00:18:10I get you, Sheriff.
00:18:22Let's go.
00:18:38I made it clear I wanted two good gunmen and you were fool enough to send two idiots.
00:18:44Listen to me, Amos.
00:18:45I know he shot and killed Sheriff Coleman.
00:18:48I saw the body. He had a bullet hole right through the middle of his forehead.
00:18:52Are you sure of that?
00:18:53Coleman sentenced me to ten years in Tombstone.
00:18:56I am not the type who forgets the face of an enemy.
00:18:59Then who is this meddler who's come to town?
00:19:02Listen, Amos.
00:19:04It don't make no difference who he is.
00:19:06Let's get him out of the way.
00:19:08No.
00:19:10Not till I give the order.
00:19:12He may be useful to us.
00:19:14I'm going to learn who he is and what he wants.
00:19:16Now get out.
00:19:19And one other thing.
00:19:21I don't want you seen around town by anyone.
00:19:41Leave me alone.
00:19:44Chase me towards the door.
00:20:05What's on your mind, Sheriff?
00:20:07Why don't you pick up the lady's suitcase?
00:20:09We're too far off.
00:20:11All right, pick it up.
00:20:13That's better.
00:20:15Next time, you'll mind your manners, won't you, boys?
00:20:26Thanks a lot.
00:20:31It's my pleasure, ma'am.
00:20:33You're welcome.
00:20:36It's my pleasure, ma'am.
00:20:41A few days rest will calm you boys down.
00:20:44Come on.
00:21:06Looks like open house here today, huh?
00:21:08Jailhouse is getting more popular than the saloon, I'd say.
00:21:10Thank you.
00:21:11Thank you, thank you kindly, fellas.
00:21:13All right, now step right inside.
00:21:15Right inside and make yourselves at home.
00:21:17Kind of looks as though you don't like getting caught, eh, Charlie?
00:21:21No, I don't like it, Smitty, and neither does Amos Bransbury.
00:21:24Oh, now, is that so?
00:21:25Well, that name don't mean anything around here.
00:21:27March.
00:21:28Left, right, left, right.
00:21:31If you're smart, you'll let those boys out of there, Sheriff.
00:21:34Amos Bransbury don't think your tricks are funny at all.
00:21:37I'm not interested in Amos Bransbury's opinion.
00:21:39Get that straight.
00:21:41Those ranch hands have been out on the range three months for the cattle.
00:21:44They got a right to have a little fun.
00:21:46They can find it somewhere else than at the expense of a beautiful girl.
00:21:49Ah, well, that gal, she's looking for trouble.
00:21:51She's one of them settlers, got a farm outside town.
00:21:53Taking our land away from us.
00:21:55You're the one looking for trouble, Carver.
00:21:57You're the one looking for trouble, Carver.
00:21:59And I'm going to give it to you.
00:22:05Step right in, sir.
00:22:07It is a private room, and it's just for you.
00:22:10You're going to pay for this, Sheriff, and pay plenty.
00:22:28Fine home, Miss Sally. My kind regards to your uncle.
00:22:31Why, thank you, sir.
00:22:33Watch the step. That's right.
00:22:37Got everything you need?
00:22:39Why, thank you, yes.
00:22:45I'm Sally Norton.
00:22:47And thanks again for your help.
00:22:49I think I know your father.
00:22:51Trevor Norton.
00:22:53He's my uncle.
00:22:55He's my uncle.
00:22:57But to me, he's almost a father.
00:22:59Have you lived here very long?
00:23:01No.
00:23:03I've been at boarding school since I was a little girl.
00:23:05I came out here to live with my uncle just after my father died.
00:23:09Now, I hope you'll excuse me, Sheriff.
00:23:11It's time I got back.
00:23:25Let's go.
00:23:55Man, throw it right on.
00:24:03Burn this stuff, and tomorrow we'll all try to set up the bog wire.
00:24:12You're taking over here for Farley, huh?
00:24:14Yeah, it kind of looks like it.
00:24:17You gonna be on our side against the cattle ranchers?
00:24:20I got no cause to.
00:24:22I'm a peaceful man.
00:24:24You're like Jeff Farley, you know that, Norton?
00:24:27You're just a couple of weak-kneed cowards.
00:24:31I'll pretend I didn't hear that, Graham.
00:24:34I'm a farmer just like you.
00:24:36Except where there's violence, understand?
00:24:46If you ain't with us, you're a gass...
00:24:55Hey!
00:25:15Now!
00:25:24Now!
00:25:54Now!
00:26:01No, Uncle Trevor!
00:26:06No!
00:26:09On your feet.
00:26:11Get off my land.
00:26:14When Amos and the ranchers get after you, the only thing we'll do for you is dig your grave.
00:26:18I don't yield to no man's threats.
00:26:20I just want to be left in peace.
00:26:23Come on!
00:26:38Every so often it's a real pleasure to see that star, Sheriff.
00:26:42That right?
00:26:43Yeah.
00:26:44This morning he protected me from a gang of hooligans.
00:26:46Really?
00:26:47Looks like you're gonna save the whole doggone family.
00:26:51Look what that brute did to your vest.
00:26:55Well, I think you came out a whole lot better than he did.
00:26:59I'd think about it before I picked a fight with you, Norton.
00:27:02You overrate me.
00:27:03I just happen to be lucky, that's all.
00:27:05And then we farmers have hard hands.
00:27:09Farmers don't have hands like this.
00:27:12Why not?
00:27:14More likely they held a pistol instead of a rake.
00:27:18Won't you stay and have dinner with us?
00:27:20It won't be anything special, but I'm sure there'll be plenty.
00:27:23Thanks, but I have some things I have to do, Sally.
00:27:26I've got some guests of my own to feed.
00:27:30Come back and see us, won't you, Sheriff?
00:27:35You can count on it.
00:27:41He'll come back.
00:27:44He smelled his prey. He won't abandon the trail.
00:27:57You better listen to me, Amos Bransberry.
00:27:59I won't take this from Coleman.
00:28:00No, not from anyone else either.
00:28:02He's right.
00:28:03He can't do this to me, Holden. I mean it.
00:28:06You seem kind of nervous, Amos.
00:28:08You bet I am.
00:28:09Coleman's gonna find out I'm used to getting my own way.
00:28:13Now, don't go raising your voice so loud.
00:28:15These boys need all the beauty sleep they can get.
00:28:17Shut up! I'll take that Coleman and...
00:28:19I told him.
00:28:21What's the legal penalty for not respecting authority?
00:28:25A month in jail, Sheriff, with provisional liberty.
00:28:29Provided the bail's been paid.
00:28:34They say there's always a price for everything.
00:28:37I want my men, I'll pay you whatever you ask for them.
00:28:41All right, we'll make it easy for him.
00:28:43$200 a man or 30 days.
00:28:46Whichever you like, Bransberry.
00:28:48That's the maximum penalty.
00:28:50But he has the authority.
00:29:00Here's a couple of thousand.
00:29:02And you can keep the tip.
00:29:06We sure will, Judge, won't we?
00:29:08Smitty, let him out.
00:29:11Huh?
00:29:12Yeah.
00:29:14If I had my way, they'd rot in there.
00:29:17Good bunch of renegades.
00:29:19Come on, get out.
00:29:21All of you, get out.
00:29:23Good riddance to you.
00:29:24Stay out of town.
00:29:26And I don't want to see any of you here again.
00:29:30I'll give you fair warning, Bransberry.
00:29:32If the farmers are attacked,
00:29:34then I'll know who's behind it.
00:29:37This is none of your business, Sheriff.
00:29:39So keep out.
00:29:40I know the law as well as you do.
00:29:42Tell me, Judge Holton,
00:29:44what's the maximum penalty for impersonating an officer of law in Montana?
00:29:47Impersonating a lawman is punishable by death, Bransberry.
00:29:58Get going.
00:30:00Stay out of town, you hear that?
00:30:04No good.
00:30:07Get going.
00:30:19Give the signal.
00:30:22Ask me what I think, boys.
00:30:24I'm not anxious to mess around with the law.
00:30:26Coleman's no coward.
00:30:27We've seen plenty of examples of that.
00:30:29Are you backing out, Pearson?
00:30:31If the farmers win the upper hand around here,
00:30:33the rest of us will be finished.
00:30:35All because you're scared.
00:30:37Just a minute, Barclay.
00:30:38No one could accuse me of being scared.
00:30:40But I'm not going to go killing anyone.
00:30:42That's what I said when you went and murdered Sheriff Gibson.
00:30:45What makes you so sure I did it?
00:30:48I'm telling you.
00:30:50Amos Bransberry's right.
00:30:52As long as he runs things in Montana,
00:30:54you and I'll all be sitting pretty.
00:30:56Right, Barclay.
00:30:58Amos, tell us what we're going to do about this Coleman.
00:31:01The new sheriff's nobody's fool.
00:31:03But I can take care of him when the time is right.
00:31:06But just now we got the problem of these farmers to think about.
00:31:10What are you planning, Amos?
00:31:12It's simple.
00:31:13We can leave it all to a couple of hired gunmen.
00:31:16They'll do what I tell them.
00:31:17Destroy farmhouses and crops,
00:31:18and then no matter what happens, our hands will be clean.
00:31:21Sure, our hands will be clean.
00:31:28But not our consciences, Bransberry.
00:31:30Our consciences won't bother us when all of us get rich out of this person.
00:31:34It's too late now for any of us to turn back.
00:31:36The carvers already started.
00:31:47Is that clear?
00:31:48We begin with Norton.
00:31:49And see that you burn it down.
00:32:01Fire!
00:32:02Fire!
00:32:30Get another rope.
00:33:00Fire!
00:33:30Fire!
00:33:46You two, circle around behind him.
00:34:01Take the old upstairs.
00:34:03Murderers, let me go.
00:34:05Let me go!
00:34:06Put a gag on the lady and shut up all this screaming.
00:34:09So we can get our work done in peace.
00:34:22Somebody's here. I think it's the sheriff.
00:34:30Bransberry will double our price when we tell him we picked off the sheriff in the bargain.
00:34:33This looks like it's going to be fun.
00:34:46Cover from here.
00:35:00Come on.
00:35:17Come here.
00:35:18The minute he opens the door, we'll shoot him down.
00:35:30Come on.
00:36:01Thanks.
00:36:02Thanks a lot.
00:36:21Uncle Trevor.
00:36:22He's out there all alone.
00:36:31Hey.
00:36:32He's better than I thought.
00:36:49Out.
00:36:51Out.
00:36:54Out.
00:36:55Out.
00:36:56Out.
00:36:57Out.
00:36:58Out.
00:37:00Go ahead.
00:37:05There's only one man who's able to aim like that.
00:37:08Jim Norton.
00:37:15And there's only one Jim Norton.
00:37:30You're slipping, Buck.
00:37:31Save your wisecracks.
00:37:33We're in a trap.
00:37:34What are we going to do about it?
00:37:37We'll get him between us.
00:37:38Sure, buddy.
00:37:39After you.
00:37:59You want to surrender now?
00:38:02Hey, that's his voice.
00:38:04No.
00:38:05Jim Norton's dead.
00:38:06This is your last chance.
00:38:08Surrender.
00:38:12Yes, that's Jim.
00:38:14Don't be so sure, Buck.
00:38:15Don't be so sure.
00:38:16I'll tell him we surrender.
00:38:17Are you loco?
00:38:18If that's Jim, we'll be dead before we're able to shoot.
00:38:22But if it's Trevor, we might just be able to bluff our way out of here.
00:38:26For a man of peace, Norton's pretty good with a gun.
00:38:29We could sure use him.
00:38:30Should we help the man out?
00:38:32I'm with him.
00:38:41Throw down your guns, boys.
00:38:42You heard me.
00:38:43Get your hands up.
00:38:50Get going.
00:38:52You too.
00:38:56Sam and Buck.
00:39:01Don't try to stop me, Sheriff.
00:39:07I'm sorry, Norton.
00:39:08I wouldn't want to have to hang you.
00:39:11Those two there are killers.
00:39:25You're pretty fast on the trigger yourself.
00:39:27Well, I had a little luck.
00:39:29I'm not too bad a shot, you know.
00:39:36That's a beauty.
00:39:40A man would have to practice a lot to win a gun like this, Norton.
00:39:47He won the gun in Kansas City.
00:39:52To Trevor Norton, the winner.
00:39:54Yeah.
00:39:56It's a very nice prize.
00:40:05What are you two rebs doing around here?
00:40:09What do you think we're doing?
00:40:11You both already know what I think.
00:40:14Need a hand with those boys, Sheriff?
00:40:17Thanks, but I can manage these two alone.
00:40:21Get!
00:40:24Come on!
00:40:28But those two men were unarmed.
00:40:29Why did you almost shoot?
00:40:31Sometimes things can make you blind, my child.
00:40:41Looks like we were mistaken with you, Norton.
00:40:44Did you just come here to tell me that?
00:40:46I came to tell you we want you to take command.
00:40:49You mean you'll take orders from me?
00:40:53Yes.
00:40:55We're all going to try to remain at peace.
00:40:57But if we should fail, we'll fight.
00:41:00I'll agree to that.
00:41:02We're with you, Norton.
00:41:24We're not beaten yet.
00:41:26In the morning, get everyone out of the pass to Cheyenne.
00:41:29Coleman and the farmers are going to learn who's boss around here.
00:41:31Right, Amos?
00:41:39I suppose you two know what's going to happen to you.
00:41:42I don't know.
00:41:44I don't know.
00:41:46I don't know.
00:41:48I don't know.
00:41:50I don't know.
00:41:51I suppose you two know what's going to happen to you.
00:41:54You're going to give us our liberty, Sheriff.
00:41:56Ain't that right, Sam?
00:41:58You bet.
00:42:00Sheriff can't accuse us of being guilty.
00:42:03Except killing two of Norton's help.
00:42:06Us? We were minding our own affairs when we got caught in the middle of a gun battle, Sheriff.
00:42:11We hid behind that rock because we didn't want to get mixed up in it.
00:42:15Take a look at the bullets in the bodies and you'll see.
00:42:17You learned that the caliber wasn't the same as the bullets in our guns.
00:42:21Doc Bennett is going to examine the corpses and then we'll see.
00:42:24Good, Sheriff. He'll find he proved that we were innocent.
00:42:29If so, then there's always this.
00:42:32You were mixed up in the robbery of the Prescott Mining Company.
00:42:35You're going to have a hard time trying to pin that on us.
00:42:38We don't know nothing about it.
00:42:40Jim Norton confessed.
00:42:43Jim Norton?
00:42:45But Norton's dead. He's been dead for three months.
00:42:48Wait a minute now.
00:42:50The Sheriff here is going to give us a different story.
00:42:52Like who got those $12,000 from Freeman?
00:42:55I wouldn't know.
00:42:57But they say that Jim Norton is still living.
00:43:11Leave it there, Sally. You can wash up tomorrow.
00:43:14Then I'll go along to bed. I'm tired.
00:43:18Sleep well, Uncle. You need a good rest.
00:43:20Good night, Sally.
00:43:47Good night.
00:44:18Uncle Trevor.
00:44:24You saw what happened today.
00:44:26Tell me what you're going to do.
00:44:28Are you going to attack the cattle ranchers?
00:44:30Now take it easy.
00:44:32When we go to town tomorrow, you yourself can take Mr. Egan a truce proposition.
00:44:36Thank you, Uncle. I adore you.
00:44:39Only because I love peace.
00:44:41Also because tomorrow I'm going to town.
00:44:44There's something else I want to ask about the Sheriff.
00:44:45I understand.
00:44:47But are you all that sure that he loves you?
00:44:52Please be sure, child.
00:44:55I don't want to have you suffer for anything.
00:45:12Look.
00:45:13The men want to have a little talk. We'll wait for you in the saloon.
00:45:16All right. Be right with you.
00:45:19Come on.
00:45:20Are you still willing to act as our ambassador to the Sheriff, Sally?
00:45:23Yes. If you're sure it will help keep the peace.
00:45:26I hope it will, for your sake.
00:45:44Good morning, Sally.
00:45:48Amos is buying up the rest of the ammunition.
00:46:03Watch it.
00:46:05I'm not going to let you get away with it.
00:46:07I'm not going to let you get away with it.
00:46:09I'm not going to let you get away with it.
00:46:11Watch it.
00:46:29What do you have?
00:46:30Whiskey.
00:46:31Okay.
00:46:41The place is full of ranchers.
00:46:43And it seems like not one of them is thirsty.
00:46:46They're all buying ammunition.
00:46:48There's going to be a real showdown with the ranchers.
00:46:52What's the news on Buck and Sam?
00:46:54The bullets taken out of your men were fired from a .45.
00:46:58They use that caliber, they're dead.
00:47:00If not...
00:47:01They'll get off free.
00:47:03Buy up all the ammunition in the store, Grant.
00:47:06It's safer for us to buy the ammunition.
00:47:07Get all the men ready.
00:47:08Yeah, Norton.
00:47:10I've got an errand for you.
00:47:12Tell my niece I've gone to look for new workers,
00:47:14and you go with her to the farm.
00:47:15Okay.
00:47:17I'll be ready for a surprise attack.
00:47:22Well, Sheriff, do you think letting Sam and Buck go free
00:47:24will help to expose...
00:47:25They think Norton has the money,
00:47:26and they want to settle up accounts with him.
00:47:28Norton might die, Sheriff.
00:47:29And for all you know, he's innocent.
00:47:32I don't think so.
00:47:33Norton might die, Sheriff.
00:47:34And for all you know, he's innocent.
00:47:38Yeah.
00:47:40I could be mistaken.
00:47:41Still, it's worth a try.
00:47:43It's impossible to keep them in jail any longer.
00:47:46We can't prove they killed those men of Norton's.
00:47:49They did it.
00:47:51Sheriff.
00:47:52Judge.
00:47:53I got something to tell you.
00:47:54There's been a big run on ammunition the last few days.
00:47:56But today was the worst.
00:47:57They cleaned me out.
00:47:58Was it the ranchers?
00:48:00Yes, the ranchers.
00:48:01They bought plenty.
00:48:02But today, some of the farmers came in
00:48:05and bought up all the rest.
00:48:07Over 3,000 cartridges.
00:48:11I can't understand it.
00:48:12Who do you think is behind them?
00:48:14Norton's taken over now,
00:48:15and he's convinced them to fight.
00:48:18I get it.
00:48:20He'll make them fight.
00:48:21He's got plenty of reasons
00:48:22to get our attention away from him.
00:48:24If the farmers have a showdown fight
00:48:26with the cattle ranchers,
00:48:28then Norton can escape unobserved
00:48:30while we're busy somewhere else.
00:48:31Yes, that's exactly it.
00:48:33I'm gonna free those two.
00:48:36Come along.
00:48:37Sheriff.
00:48:38I pray to God you're not mistaken about Norton.
00:48:50Hello.
00:48:54How do you do there, Miss Norton?
00:48:57Who are you?
00:48:58Even though we happen to be in jail,
00:48:59we are friends of your old man,
00:49:00Jim Norton.
00:49:04My father died three years ago.
00:49:07Now, Miss, don't pretend with us.
00:49:09Your pa worked with Sam and me for 10 years.
00:49:13We know him well.
00:49:15It's true.
00:49:16Jim was always spouting to us
00:49:17about his pretty little Sally.
00:49:19Didn't he send you away to school in the East?
00:49:23My father was honest
00:49:24and not a person to have anything to do with your kind.
00:49:26Listen to her.
00:49:27Listen to her.
00:49:28It's time someone smartened you up
00:49:29and told you what a crook your old man really was.
00:49:32Maybe.
00:49:33Maybe.
00:49:34Could be that he was talking about his twin brother.
00:49:41What are you doing here?
00:49:42My uncle sent me.
00:49:43I must see you.
00:49:44It's very important.
00:49:45Wait a minute.
00:49:46Let him out of there, Smitty.
00:49:48You're free to go.
00:49:49I got no proof on you.
00:49:50What did I tell you, Sheriff?
00:49:51We're both innocent as a couple of legal angels.
00:49:54Well, what is it?
00:49:56It's nothing.
00:49:57Tell me what it is.
00:49:59Nothing.
00:50:00What is it?
00:50:01Nothing.
00:50:02She just needs sympathy.
00:50:05Get out of here, you two no good rattlesnakes.
00:50:07Go on out and stay out.
00:50:13I guess it's a good time for me
00:50:14to go out and wash up the dishes, huh?
00:50:18Now, what do you want to tell me, Sally?
00:50:20It's all my uncle's idea.
00:50:22The farmers and the cattlemen
00:50:23must get along together, you see.
00:50:25They must have a meeting at once
00:50:26and set up definitive rights
00:50:27to be decided legally in court
00:50:29with the judge presiding.
00:50:30Then the land must be used as the court decides.
00:50:33Do you believe it can work?
00:50:35Yes, if he's sincere.
00:50:40But you know he is.
00:50:41Uncle means what he says.
00:50:43Then why didn't he come to tell me himself
00:50:44instead of sending you?
00:50:47I don't know.
00:50:48Why didn't he come to tell me himself
00:50:49instead of sending you?
00:50:51Do you think I'm lying about this?
00:50:57Too bad.
00:51:00Good day, Sheriff Coleman.
00:51:19Halt.
00:51:24Look, it's time we told him
00:51:25we're getting out.
00:51:26Right.
00:51:27Just a minute, boys.
00:51:29Got something to ask you.
00:51:31At your service, Mr. Bransbury.
00:51:33At your service, Mr. Bransbury.
00:51:34I'm willing to forget the past
00:51:35and to give you another chance.
00:51:36You're being too kind, amigo.
00:51:38We'd like to help you out,
00:51:39but Wonderbug's cousin's sick in bed
00:51:40and we're going down to be with her.
00:51:42Hey, hey.
00:51:43You know what to do, copper.
00:51:46I'm ready to go.
00:52:05Is that you, Sammy?
00:52:06No, Jim.
00:52:07It's me, Jim.
00:52:08It's me, Jim.
00:52:09It's me, Jim.
00:52:10It's me, Jim.
00:52:11It's me, Jim.
00:52:12No, Jim.
00:52:13It's us.
00:52:19You don't look glad to see us.
00:52:20There must be some mistake.
00:52:22My name's Trevor.
00:52:23Don't be difficult.
00:52:25Jim Norton is the only man I know
00:52:27who can shoot like that.
00:52:29We only want what's ours.
00:52:31Right, Sam?
00:52:32That's right.
00:52:33Just our part.
00:52:34Plus the usual interest rates we collect.
00:52:37I don't know what you're talking...
00:52:38Don't get funny now, Jim.
00:52:40Or you'll live to regret it.
00:52:42Where have you hidden our money, Jim?
00:52:44Tell us or we'll rip you apart.
00:52:46Boys, I'll repeat what I said.
00:52:47I'm Trevor Norton.
00:52:53Ready, pal?
00:53:06Now tell me, Norton.
00:53:07Where's that money?
00:53:10I don't know.
00:53:11I don't know.
00:53:12I don't know.
00:53:13I don't know.
00:53:14I don't know.
00:53:15I don't know.
00:53:16I don't know.
00:53:17I don't know.
00:53:18I don't know.
00:53:19I don't know.
00:53:20I don't know.
00:53:21I don't know.
00:53:22I don't know.
00:53:23I don't know.
00:53:24I don't know.
00:53:25I don't know.
00:53:26I don't know.
00:53:27I don't know.

00:53:41I don't know.
00:53:42I don't know.
00:53:43I don't know.
00:53:44I don't know.
00:53:45I don't know.
00:53:46I don't know.

00:54:08I don't know.
00:54:09I don't know.
00:54:13I don't know.
00:54:16He's coming, come on.
00:54:25Come on, we had enough trouble already with the sheriff.
00:54:27I'm taking this with me, he busted mine.
00:54:28Let's go.
00:54:37Come on.
00:54:46Sally, you'll be all right?
00:54:52Of course, thanks.
00:54:57Giddy up.
00:55:05What on earth?
00:55:09Who did this to you?
00:55:10Two bandits, they took me by surprise.
00:55:15Salmon Buck?
00:55:17How did you know?
00:55:20Listen to me, uncle, please tell me the truth.
00:55:27Another spoonful?
00:55:30Don't you like my cooking?
00:55:32I don't care for it much either, but I eat it anyway.
00:55:39Sheriff?
00:55:41Judge Holden wants to talk to you.
00:55:43Kind of looks like something serious.
00:55:46You stay right here, Smitty.
00:55:51Damn rabbit, don't even let a man eat a meal in peace.
00:56:10Now you know everything about your father, Sally.
00:56:13I, I, I wanted to hide it from you forever.
00:56:23But those two dirty dogs.
00:56:28I know, but I had to hear it.
00:56:32When you were going away to college,
00:56:34he wanted to give the money back.
00:56:36But that idea of giving it back cost him his life.
00:56:40And yet you had to get hurt.
00:56:42Those two men thought you must have been my father.
00:56:44Those two bandits didn't know about your father's plan.
00:56:48Poor dear uncle, you're paying for my father
00:56:52because you're his brother.
00:56:53But you're the one that's honest and good.
00:56:56But you must not hate your father, child.
00:57:02Those two almost killed you.
00:57:04And just because of the horrible things that man did.
00:57:07Listen to me, Sally.
00:57:09Everything's going to turn out all right.
00:57:13Just while you're so sure, I want you back with me.
00:57:17We knew you wanted this, Bransbury.
00:57:22It's all over for us, Amos.
00:57:24There's a federal judge on his way here.
00:57:25Calm down, Barclay.
00:57:27Amos, you know darn well what's going to happen to us.
00:57:30There's going to be a trial that'll
00:57:31hang us all with barbed wire, the way
00:57:34they did in Kansas and Nebraska.
00:57:36That wouldn't be the case if Norton were to kill
00:57:38the judge we're expecting.
00:57:40Yeah?
00:57:41But what about the sheriff?
00:57:42The sheriff won't know anything.
00:57:44Sam has brought us the evidence to put the blame on Norton.
00:57:48This time, all of us are completely in the right
00:57:50and we can ask for justice.
00:57:54I see what you mean, Amos.
00:57:56As soon as we're able to get rid of the judge,
00:58:00we can lynch Norton.
00:58:01Yes, when the farmers are all in town
00:58:03to greet the federal judge, we act at once.
00:58:05We'll get rid of Norton and set fire to his house.
00:58:09You, Barclay, you're the best man for this.
00:58:14And what do you want us to do?
00:58:17I'll give you one more chance.
00:58:19If you mess up this time, you'll discover the kind of treatment
00:58:23the boys dish out to cowards.
00:58:26What will be the most effective way
00:58:28to settle accounts with the sheriff?
00:58:32Now, who would you say, Barclay, are the two best shots we got?
00:58:35Barney, Caracas, am I right?
00:58:38Yep.
00:58:39I'm going to get rid of the sheriff, once and for all.
00:58:42He's not going to bother me again.
00:58:45And if the boys get it instead?
00:58:46We'll still be able to put Coleman out of the way.
00:58:48If this Coleman's who I think, and I'm pretty sure,
00:58:52he'll leave his usual visiting card.
00:59:06What is this?
00:59:08Sorry, you mind saying that again?
00:59:10I'm a little deaf in my left ear, remember?
00:59:13You know, for a sheriff, you're a little too fast on the trigger.
00:59:16That is, if you are a sheriff.
00:59:19I'll bet he ain't really.
00:59:21To me, he looks more like a bounty killer.
00:59:25We ought to do something about him, Barclay.
00:59:27I don't know about you, but I'm going to get rid of him.
00:59:30I'm going to get rid of him.
00:59:31I'm going to get rid of him.
00:59:32I'm going to get rid of him.
00:59:33I'm going to get rid of him.
00:59:34I'm going to get rid of him.
00:59:35We ought to do something about it.
01:00:05It's all over, Regan. You're finished.
01:00:11Don't be so sure of that, Bransbury. Watch out what you do to me.
01:00:14I'm still the sheriff of Miles City.
01:00:17You're not the sheriff and you never were. You're no better than a rattler, Regan.
01:00:22You fooled the town into thinking you were Coleman, only I knew who you were in Montana.
01:00:26We hang men like you. Why are you waiting?
01:00:29Take him off! Take him off!
01:01:00Take him off!
01:01:13I'm glad we got to go. I've been waiting to see this for some time now.
01:01:16Yeah, too bad.
01:01:30You vomited, didn't reckon on me now, did you?
01:01:33Oh, sorry. But here I am, sheriff. Let me give you a hand.
01:01:37You're a heavy one.
01:01:40This man is the sheriff, Bransbury. You'll answer to me for this.
01:01:43He's not the sheriff.
01:01:46Why, he's nothing more than a hired gunman. And what we're doing here is legal.
01:01:50This morning I got a letter from Denver, Bransbury.
01:01:53Regan represented the Denver Mining Company.
01:01:57That is, until the mayor and I elected him sheriff of Mile City.
01:02:02What do you mean, you elected him?
01:02:05The law states, in Montana, a new sheriff is elected by vote of the mayor and the judge.
01:02:10And his name doesn't make any difference, as long as he proves to be a good sheriff.
01:02:16Come on. Wait a minute there, Bransbury.
01:02:19Seems to me I ought to have an apology from you.
01:02:22You're under arrest for threatening an officer of the law.
01:02:29Get moving. Get moving!
01:02:52Come on.
01:03:23Come on.
01:03:44It's the federal judge.
01:03:52The man who killed him must have been in a terrible hurry if he left a high-class weapon like this behind.
01:04:01But it's not possible.
01:04:04What's the matter, sheriff?
01:04:06You sure got him on the spot, Judge Holden.
01:04:08The owner of that rifle happens to be his future father-in-law.
01:04:11It's clear to us all the farmers are behind all this. They're the ones that are afraid of having it filed.
01:04:15This time we're going to get justice and we're going to get it our way. Let's hang Norton.
01:04:19There's not going to be any hanging. Not without a trial.
01:04:25Regan, this gun may be damaging evidence against Norton.
01:04:32He must be arrested.
01:04:37I'll get him, Judge. But don't be so sure that he's the one who'll end up with a rope around his neck.
01:04:43Find Sam and Buck. We've got to move fast.
01:04:54Sally!
01:04:59Sally, pack what you need. We're getting out.
01:05:06Well, did you hear me?
01:05:09But I don't understand. Why are we going?
01:05:11The cattlemen have set a trap for us. They'll get us good if we don't escape.
01:05:14Regan will protect us.
01:05:16He's got to arrest me. Believe me, Sally. This time he's got the better of us. Now hurry up before it's too late.
01:05:40Norton!
01:05:44Don't run away. You'll incriminate yourself.
01:05:47My name's on that gun and that's accusation enough. Come on, Sally.
01:05:51It must be a trap. How did you lose the gun?
01:05:54Why don't you ask Buck and Sam? They're the ones that robbed me.
01:05:57All right, let's go get them and make them explain.
01:05:59You think I'm crazy? Come on, Sally.
01:06:01Stay right there.
01:06:05I'm sorry.
01:06:08I'm sorry.
01:06:12I'm sorry, but I'm going. And don't try to stop me.
01:06:16One step more and I'll shoot.
01:06:22You've got to try to trust me.
01:06:25No, Uncle, no.
01:06:27It's much better for you, Norton.
01:06:35I must be crazy, but I'll...
01:06:39I'll do it for you.
01:06:54Let's go.
01:07:04Look, the sheriff's coming.
01:07:11Those were Bradford's men.
01:07:13Pop it up in the jail cell.
01:07:25Smitty, Smitty, what happened?
01:07:28A trap.
01:07:31But there was too many, that's all.
01:07:34Don't worry about it, Smitty.
01:07:36You're going to be all right.
01:07:38It's too late.
01:07:40Already.
01:07:42Already I feel like an angel.
01:07:45I'm sorry to go.
01:07:48You're the best sheriff that Mile City ever...
01:08:01...had.
01:08:12We've got to stop Amos or else they'll burn every farm in Montana.
01:08:16That's suicide, Sheriff.
01:08:18We must wait at least until Graham arrives.
01:08:20There's no time to lose, Judge.
01:08:22Tell Graham I need help when he gets here with his men.
01:08:32Hello, Sheriff.
01:08:43There are too many against you, Regan.
01:08:45I'll help you.
01:08:47Why?
01:08:48I'm doing it for my daughter.
01:08:51After you got away with it all this long...
01:08:54...I might have surprised you giving in.
01:08:57Shall we go, my friend?
01:09:01A bandit and a bounty killer.
01:09:04That's pretty funny.
01:09:06Two gunmen who hope to bring a little law and order to Mile City.
01:09:18Farmers will learn who owns the land around here once and for all.
01:09:21Blum's us and we're taking it.
01:09:31Come on!
01:10:01Come on!
01:10:31Come on!
01:11:01Come on!
01:11:03Come on!
01:11:05Come on!
01:11:31Come on this way. We've still got work to do.
01:11:35Come on.
01:11:41Hey, Mark, look!
01:11:44Quick, come inside.
01:12:06Come on!
01:12:20Toby! Oh, Toby!
01:12:24He's dead, you killers!
01:12:26Toby!
01:12:36Come on, our next stop's Norton.
01:13:01Which way do you think they'll come?
01:13:04Those hills are kind of covered.
01:13:06I think they'll probably come from over there.
01:13:08If so, they'll get a surprise.
01:13:34They're here.
01:13:57Forward! Burn everything!
01:14:04You two, get the girl.
01:14:34Come on!
01:15:04Move!
01:15:35No!
01:15:37Move!
01:16:05No!
01:16:23Hello, sweetheart.
01:16:25Outside and tell the others to surrender.
01:16:31Go on.
01:16:34Go on.
01:16:41Uncle Tremor! Uncle Tremor, help!
01:16:45Uncle Tremor, help me!
01:16:55Uncle Tremor!
01:16:57Go ahead. I'll keep you covered.
01:17:00Thanks.
01:17:05No!
01:17:10No!
01:17:13Take her up there.
01:17:35Back, Sam!
01:17:37It's me, Jim!
01:17:41It is Jim Norton.
01:17:44You want me? Come and get me!
01:17:47Come on!
01:18:04No!
01:18:17Father!
01:18:23Father!
01:18:27He's hurt!
01:18:29Father!
01:18:31Say something!
01:18:34Father!
01:18:55Carver, Barclay, there they are.
01:18:57Norton's dead. There's only the sheriff.
01:19:04Come on!
01:19:14Come on!
01:19:16Come on!
01:19:31Regan!
01:19:41Get the dynamite. We'll have to blow them out.
01:19:44You go with them.
01:19:54I've only got three bullets left.
01:19:56What are you going to do?
01:19:58Wait for them to get here.
01:20:02Regan, watch out!
01:20:11He got them.
01:20:14Have you got the dynamite?
01:20:16I got it. Give it to me.
01:20:30Listen to me, Regan.
01:20:36I'm going to count to three.
01:20:39Come out of there with your hands up or I'm going to blow you both to bits.
01:20:45Don't believe it. They'll kill us anyway.
01:20:47The dirty...
01:20:53I won't wait any longer, Regan.
01:20:56Count one...
01:20:58two...
01:21:00three!
01:21:15Carver!
01:21:17Carver!
01:21:19Barclay!
01:21:21I'm blind!
01:21:23I can't see anymore!
01:21:25Help me!
01:21:44Help me!
01:21:52Your uncle was a good man.
01:21:54To bring peace, he gave his life for Montana.
01:22:0624th of March, 1877.
01:22:09The governor of the state of Montana has decreed as of this date...
01:22:13the partition of the land among settlers and residents shall be as follows.
01:22:18Whosoever shall enter legally into possession of land...
01:22:22has the just right to enclose it with fences of any nature.
01:22:26Cattle raisers who depend on pasture for grazing...
01:22:29have crossed such enclosed land when the sustenance of their herd so requires.
01:22:34Let this henceforth be the law in this state...
01:22:38to which I affix my signature...
01:22:40and the seal of the state of Montana.
