I'm the deputy sheriff.
I lost my horse, so I'm takin' yours.
Put your hands up.
Get down.
You don't look like no deputy sheriff to me.
But that rifle ends any arguin'.
All right, mister, now we got time to talk about it.
As a horse thief, you're pretty bad, mister.
I'm no horse thief.
My name's Toland.
I'm a deputy out of Raleigh.
Sure you are.
Can you prove that? Nothing.
They stripped me clean.
I gotta get to Camp Henley.
If I can't have your horse, you take me.
First, you wanna take my horse, then you want me to ride What else you got to talk about? Who's after you, anyway? Can I have your horse? Look, Raleigh's only six miles away.
You can walk it.
I'll tell you what.
You're a deputy.
I'll tell the sheriff.
Maybe he'll come out and get you.
Mister, I swear Here you go.
No way.
What are you doin'? Now you gotta take me, don't you? Now get us on that horse of yours.
Why, you You try and make me, huh? Now, where's the key? I ain't talk.
For your sake.
You better remember where it is.
They're gonna kill me.
They'll kill you too if we don't get outta here fast.
Who is? Part of the gang that wiped out two Army wagons at Feather Canyon last night.
Well, you ain't makin' much sense.
Let me tell you this Army wagon stopped in Feather Canyon.
They stopped for the night, and I figured to have supper with 'em.
There were 25 of 'em.
Replacements for Camp Henley.
They hit us so fast and so hard, we didn't have a chance to blink our eyes.
By who? Comanches? There ain't any of them within 50 miles of here.
White men.
They thought they'd massacred us all.
That's how I got stripped clean.
I played dead.
But I heard what they were up to.
They're gonna ride into Camp Henley tomorrow, posin' as the replacements.
They're gonna take over the whole garrison.
What are you talkin' about? Who's gonna ride in there? I don't know.
I waited for my chance while they were strippi" the bodies, puttin' on the uniforms themselves.
I crawled away, grabbed a horse, but some of 'em saw me.
You don't think they're gonna let me run around loose, do you? They gotta come after me.
Well, maybe they Maybe they gave up.
Maybe they gave up on you.
No, they're out there somewhere.
I would've made it if I hadn't of lost my horse.
Mister, I think you lost your brain.
You know what it means to lose that camp? No protection in this whole territory.
That gang will loot every town.
They'll raid and rob every ranch.
They'll cut down every traveler.
That's their plan.
Well, if you're lyin' to me, mister I'm not lyin'.
Forty miles.
That's a long way, even for a single rider.
Just get me there, mister.
I gotta let 'em know what's happened.
Sometimes it doesn't pay a man to roll out of his blanket in the morning.
I think you're outta your mind, but I'll take you to your sheriff.
Look you're dyin'.
So you got no reason for not telling me where that key is.
Or if you lied to me.
I'm dyin', all right.
But I ain't lied to you.
You'll see.
What you waitin' for? You want him to turn around and face you? Hold it.
Boy, am I glad to see you, sheriff.
Yeah, I'll bet you are.
Hey, now, wait a minute.
I didn't shoot him.
He had me handcuffed because he wanted me to take him to Camp Henley.
You're the sheriff from Raleigh, aren't you? Who you tryin' to fool, mister? My name's McVey.
What was my deputy bringin' you in for? He wasn't bringin' me in.
Somebody up there shot him.
I don't see nobody up there.
Well, they were there a few minutes ago.
Latch, turn him loose.
Where's Toland's horse? He didn't have a horse.
He was gonna take my horse so he could get to Camp Henley.
What are you doin' out here? Y-you know about it too, huh? Know about what? We're to meet a couple of Army wagons from Feather Canyon.
Yeah, that's the one he was talkin' about.
That's That's the wagon.
He said all the men were killed.
A-and they They were comin' after him to keep him from gettin' to Henley.
They're gonna They wanna take the place over.
Who is? I don't know.
Look, sheriff, I swear I didn't kill him.
He said there were some men after him.
Latch, go up and look.
All right, get him mounted.
Takin' him in.
What are you takin' me in for? A murder.
I can I can prove who I am.
I've got papers, but we're I'm with an outfit goin' north of here to Sedalia.
I don't care who you are, mister.
Toland didn't have you manacled for pleasure.
Will you? Will you take me to Camp Henley? Or send a man to my outfit.
It's only a day's ride from here.
He'll Ask for a Gil Favor.
He'll tell you about it.
You can tell this story to the circuit judge.
He'll be in town in about a week.
A week? Move.
Come on.
Look, there's liable to be a massacre in this area before a week.
Latch.
You up there? Pass out the posters, Hollis.
A hundred dollars to the man who brings in Yates.
There are two or three other men with him.
They couldn't have got far in the last couple hours.
And remember: They killed three of my deputies.
Get back.
Get back, you men.
Let Mr.
Baines through.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Whoa.
I thank you, Mr.
Hollis.
I thank all of you boys for your respect to the dear departed.
Oh, boys, if any of you want shaves or barberin', I'll be back in my chair in about an hour.
Uh, we'll be riding all night.
Oh, yes.
I heard about that.
That's a sorry business.
Well, I hope you get your culprits, Mr.
McVey.
I'm only sorry, boys, that you won't be at the funeral of dear old Mrs.
Purdy here, because she liked all of you, every one.
Now, you say a prayer for her.
Giddap.
All right, let's spread out and find him.
Man, if we ain't found him, they ain't found him either.
You hope.
You know what I'm thinkin'? I'm thinkin' I'll get me a shave.
And I'm thinkin' about gettin' me some of that smelly perfume water.
You ain't doin' nothin' till we stable the horses.
Twenty years I've been married to you.
How many times do I have to tell you not to leave cash in the register? Honey, I told you.
I forgot.
You forgot.
You ain't got brains enough to come out of the rain, have you, Nathan? And what are you leavin' money on the counter for? I didn't leave any money on the counter.
Then what is this? Oh.
No.
Nathan! Nathan! Help! Go on.
Help! Help! It is him.
The man with Cole.
Alfred, no.
We've got to take him alive.
Well, let's get him then.
She was a loyal wife and mother, and none of us ever had a finer friend than this sweet soul.
And now let us pray.
Dear Lord we thank thee for letting us know Martha Purdy for a spell.
And now we send her back home to thee with our love and our gratitude and our regrets.
Mostly, our regrets for not having done better by her, but knowing that you will.
Amen.
I take it you're in trouble, Mr.
Yates.
Oh, you were described on a poster they put out earlier this evening.
Now, look, mister.
I don't know No, no.
Don't worry.
I'm not as hasty as our sheriff.
I like to listen before I pass judgment.
Who are you? My name is Baines.
Simon Baines.
And I'm a man of compassion, I hope.
Look, Mr.
Baines, I didn't kill those three men.
Oh, I've got a hunch you're telling the truth.
Now, you can be safe for a while down at my place.
Come on.
And we'll have to drive through town, so you climb inside the hearse.
Oh Just for a spell.
Guess I'm the first customer who ever climbed out of there on his own, huh? Well, let's hope you stay that lucky, Mr.
Yates.
This way.
Now, sir you're all safe and snug.
Oh, I sure can't figure you out, mister.
I've seen a lot of killers in my time, son.
You don't look like one.
I'm no killer.
Well, now, tell me how you got yourself in all this trouble.
Well, I just wish that Mr.
Favor hadn't sent me on this job, that's all.
Who's Mr.
Favor? He's my boss.
I'm up here buyin' some cattle for him.
That's how I ran across this Deputy Toland, and Well, Toland wanted to take my horse.
Said he had to get to Camp Henley.
Said a gang had killed up around some Feather Canyon, or someplace.
And they got into the Army uniforms.
They're gonna get inside Camp Henley.
To do what? Take over this territory, I guess.
Rob it blind.
Well Well, I can see why the sheriff didn't believe you.
But y You've gotta believe me, Mr.
Baines.
I didn't believe it either until Toland was killed.
Oh, somebody else killed him? Yeah, two men.
I just got away from 'em in town here ten minutes ago.
Oh, they're in town, huh? Yeah, I told you, I just got away from 'em.
Oh.
Ahem.
Never let a razor get dull, Mr.
Yates.
Outside of mentioning this incredible story to McVey have you told anyone else? No, not a soul.
I've been out hikin' across the desert.
Ah, I came here to get a gun and a horse, that's all.
I gotta get to that camp.
S Say, maybe you can help me get a horse.
Oh, I'm sure I can.
But what you need right now, my boy, is to lie back and relax.
Uh Maybe a shave would calm you down.
No, thanks.
I shave myself, and About the horse, you think y? Maybe you could get it? Now, how's a horse gonna get you outta this mess? 'Cause if get to Camp Henley before tomorrow, and this story's true, I'll be cleared.
And if it's a lie? Oh.
Well, I can't think of that now.
As a matter of fact it's as true as gospel, Mr.
Yates.
Well how'd you get him? Ha-ha.
With loving kindness.
Well What kind of a joke is this? It's no joke.
Well, now, you shut up.
You've muddled things up enough as it is.
They sent you after Toland, you end up here.
Look, we tried.
Well, you didn't try hard enough.
You're in on this too, huh? We're all mixed up in it, Mr.
Yates.
Thirty of us.
Oh, I don't call myself the leader, but I am handling this end.
I'm a poor barber but a magnificent mortician.
Stop using my merchandise.
Oh! Now, son, I wouldn't move if I were you.
I'm gonna give you a very nice funeral, with appropriate arrangements.
And I got a name for his tombstone: Alabaster O'Toole.
That's a fella I met up in, uh Up in the Dakotas.
I didn't know him but about five minutes.
Pow! Put that back where you found it.
How come you let me get this far? Well, I had to know if you'd spoken to anyone who might've believed your story.
I told Sheriff McVey about it.
Oh, I'm not worried about McVey believing.
All right, let's get to it.
Why don't we just shoot him and turn him in? Maybe there's a reward.
How about that? Us getting a reward for findin' you? Let him up.
All right, let's get at it.
Now, patience.
Patience, that's the key to joy, Slade.
We don't want any noise.
A nice, quiet departure.
Talk like takin' a man's life means nothin' to you.
It doesn't.
Not after I've planned for a full year to wipe out Camp Henley.
And you were right about that.
There won't be an Army detachment within a hundred miles to stop us after tomorrow.
Hold him in the chair, boys.
Ooh! Ooh! Hold it! Hold it.
Put up those guns.
He can't get out of town.
Now, just walk softly.
Come on.
This ought to do it, Trager.
You got enough feed and grain to last you a month.
Now, if you'll pay me my $30 and get on home, I'll get to mine.
How do I know you put in what I ordered? I ever cheated you yet? Well, there's always a first time.
And check the wagon.
I kept the store open special for you, and that's the thanks I get.
Send me a bill! You know I never paid you yet till I seen what you give me.
Uh Uh What do you got there? You know what I told you about buying things.
I just bought some seeds, Lem.
I want to plant a garden.
Flower seeds? Give 'em back.
Go on! Give 'em back.
You think I'm made of money? Now, get up on that wagon seat, and let's get on out of here.
Evening, Mrs.
Trager.
Do you mind us searching your wagon? What for? We're looking for the thief that ran out of the general store this evening.
You're kind of overdoing it, ain't you? Mr.
Cory said he didn't steal nothin'.
You got anything against us looking? Maddy and me have gotta get home, that's what I got against it.
He's not in there.
And you said you wanted to get home in a hurry, Lem.
Lem says we've gotta get home, Mr.
Baines.
You know how it is.
Yeah, Mr.
Baines, and the whole town knows how it is with that high spender I married.
No.
No, no.
It's all right.
We're sorry to trouble you, ma'am.
Giddap.
Giddap.
You mind telling me what's wrong with you? I'm always touched by a lady in trouble.
She's certainly got enough with that man she's married to.
No need for us to add to it.
Yeah, but I think he still could have Oh, the man we're after? What's he doing in the wagon? He'd be looking for a lot faster way out of town than that.
Anyway, there's no problem.
We're thinking wrong.
He wants to get to that camp.
All right, let him try.
You two are gonna be there ahead of him.
And when he shows, whatever you do to him, the sheriff will thank you.
What about you? You getting out tonight? Right now.
And how's that fine lieutenant gonna take all this.
Well, he hasn't got much choice, has he? Go on.
Get along, you two.
You ain't opened your mouth since we left town.
You got a chill? No.
You go on in to bed.
I'll unload the wagon.
Leave it be, Lem.
It can wait.
Come on in with me.
Maddy you sound nice.
Maybe I'll reconsider.
Let go.
Lem please.
Don't you hurt him.
Don't hurt him.
What are you doing in that wagon, boy? Answer me! Mister, uh all I wanna do is buy a horse.
Why, you're not able to ride.
You mean you want to steal a horse, if I hadn't caught you.
Oh, I got money.
I got money.
You're that thief.
The one they were talking about.
Running from the store.
It's him, Maddy.
I'm no thief.
I'm no thief.
I gotta get to Camp Henley.
Help me He hasn't done you any harm, Lem.
He's hurt.
He can't move.
You don't have to tie him.
He ain't one of your sick birds, Maddy.
Uh Lem Lem, you'll get into trouble.
I know you will.
Let him alone, Lem.
Don't do it.
He's that thief.
I'll take him to town in the morning.
You go on up.
Did you know he was in that wagon all the time? Don't you lie.
No.
I'll unhitch the team.
And you'll wait up for me.
One year I've been planning this, Mr.
Baines.
You hired these men.
That was your end of it.
I come out here to give final orders and discover you've been chasing a man who got away from you at Feather Canyon.
Well, I wasn't there.
Morris was running that.
Anyway, Toland's dead.
Now you come and tell me.
Someone else knows.
Well, we're handling that.
I just ask you to postpone the attack until we can make sure.
And just when will that be? Tomorrow? The next day? Next year? What's this man look like? Well here's a description of him.
All right.
I'll take out a patrol.
If this Yates is anywhere close by, we'll pick him up.
You say you've got two men watching the entrance? That's right.
We can't change our schedule.
I've arranged for half the troops to be on sick call at dawn.
That's when you move in.
You understand? The rest of the men will be at mess.
No rifles, no sidearms.
You men.
Move in fast.
But I'll take care of the colonel.
From the way you're talking, you can taste it, mister.
I'll show him whether I can be more than a boot-licking lieutenant.
He'll know tomorrow.
I'll have an army of my own.
It's 11:00, Mr.
Baines.
You move out of here in exactly one hour.
We'll be at the camp by 6.
I'll meet you outside, ride in with you.
You men.
Try to look like soldiers until you get inside.
Then the camp will be yours.
And the territory the camp protects for hundreds of miles around.
It will all be yours.
We'll move in fast, and clean them out fast before anyone even begins to suspect what's happening.
Is that clear? Do you think you can do it? Yeah.
'Course we can.
I'll see you at 6, Mr.
Baines.
Where am I? Hush.
Shh.
I'm no thief.
What trouble you in, mister? Just get me free here, will you? I can't.
Your husband.
He's gonna know you've been here when he sees that bandage.
It doesn't matter.
Listen to me.
I gotta get to Camp Henley.
Oh, don't lie to me, please.
I'm trying to help you.
If he hadn't have caught you, I would have let you go.
Yeah? Why? Oh, I don't know.
I guess I know what it's like being caught.
I wasn't lying to you.
If I don't get to that camp, there's gonna be trouble there.
What trouble? Some men, they're gonna take it by surprise.
I gotta get there.
I don't believe you, but it doesn't matter.
Unt Untie.
Look, that thing's a lie.
I didn't kill no one.
It's a lie.
What are you doing here? What were you doing with him? You planning on having him take you away? I gave up planning a long time ago, Lem.
I just couldn't let him bleed to death.
I took that away from him.
It's him, Lem.
What are you gonna do? I'm gonna take him to town right now.
A killer's worth money to us.
Maybe he's got friends who are looking for him.
If they catch you, they'll kill you, Lem.
What do you care? I ask you a question.
What do you care if I get killed? I'm just asking you not to do it alone.
Maybe you do care a little.
Maybe.
Maybe we can still make it together someday, Lem.
Oh, you just give me half a chance, Maddy.
All right.
You go into town, bring out the sheriff.
Bring anybody.
If anybody shows before you get back, I've got this.
I ain't gonna leave you alone here with that Do it, Lem.
Do it.
You're wasting time.
Go on.
He's gone to get the sheriff.
We'll use the horses from the wagon.
I'll saddle them up.
I'm going with you.
Going with me? If you believe what's on that poster, how come you trust me all of a sudden? Going with you won't be any worse than staying here, whatever you offer.
And a man who's wanted doesn't figure on getting caught.
I'm drying up here, mister.
I'm dying.
This is my chance to get away for good, and I'm gettin'.
You want to go with me, that's fine, but I ain't goin' where you think I'm going.
I gotta get to that camp.
Do you want me to change my mind? I'm just saying I'm going with or without you.
Uh, no promises.
No promises.
All right.
Now, here's where I leave you.
I guess we'd both better wish each other luck, huh? You mean it.
You're going to Camp Henley no matter what, aren't you? Yeah.
Not about that story you made up.
About m-men taking the place of soldiers who aren't soldiers? I didn't make that up.
I'm real grateful to you for all you've done for me, Maddy.
He couldn't have beat us.
We've been here two hours.
Maybe he ain't gonna make it.
Pow.
Hm.
I'd like to get 'em though.
Just for luck.
The same men as last night? Yeah.
Looks like we'll be traveling together after all.
Come on.
Those men down there are part of the gang that are coming in the Army wagons.
Look, this whole territory's gonna be robbed and stripped, and the people that ain't killed are gonna be looking to the Army for help.
Only there ain't going to be any Army.
Now, you gotta help me, Maddy.
They're only looking for me.
You can make it to the camp.
I'm not going to any camp.
I don't believe you.
Heh.
No one believes it.
I didn't believe it either at first.
What wild thing are you up to? We can get away.
If running away from the man you're married to means more than the hundreds of people in this area you'd better start running.
There he is.
Some day a man just gets cheated.
Take over, sergeant.
You come with me, Mr.
Trevor.
Well, he ain't dead.
What did you do with my wife? I let her go.
Let's get him on a horse.
What's the trouble, sheriff? Oh, no trouble anymore, lieutenant.
He and some of his friends kill three of my men, we'll get him.
Lieutenant, I gotta talk to you.
You got nothing to talk about.
Some foolish notion about taking over your camp.
I'd like to see anybody try to take over your camp.
So would I.
You'll take the detachment in, Mr.
Trevor.
If the colonel should ask about me tell him I'm meeting the replacement wagons.
Colonel said for you to return with the men, sir.
There was no need to meet up with the replacements.
I don't care what the colonel said.
I'm giving you an order, Mr.
Trevor.
Yes, sir.
Hyah.
Hyah.
Well we should be there in about a minute.
Everything all right? Some men coming.
Two directions.
Oh, that's all right.
You just keep driving.
Sheriff's got Yates.
Everything's on time.
Get those horses going.
Let's go home.
Now, drop your guns and come out with your arms raised.
All right, any one of you that makes a move, this Gatling gun will blast you to kingdom come.
I thought you and Baines had it sewed up.
All right, put them under arrest.
All of them.
Huh? Such a diabolical but wonderful scheme to go wrong, colonel.
It was all ours.
We'd have taken over the whole territory.
You might have at that.
Oh, yes, we would.
Except for him.
What a miserable barber he'd have made.
He'd have never learned how to use his razor effectively.
Hm.
Take him out.
What, are you gonna lynch me, sheriff? Not even give me a trial? Never lynched a man yet.
Come on.
Here's your hat.
Your gun.
My hand.
Ooh.
Uh We caught every one of them, Mr.
Yates.
I can't express my appreciation enough.
And you can thank the lady here for delivering your message.
Um anything I can do to make it up to you? No.
You coming, Maddy? I'll be right there, Lem.
I know what this cost you.
Mr.
Yates.
I understand you're looking for cattle.
That's what you said he told you, wasn't it? That's right.
Well, we've got 60 head of government stock.
More than we need.
I've been ordered to dispose of it.
I'll be pleased to accommodate you.
Well, colonel, you've got yourself a buyer.
I'd sure like to know what happened, though.
Glad to tell you over a drink.
I'd say you look like you'll need one.
Yeah, you got that right.
See you later, sheriff.
So long.
