I warned you! I told you! Come on, Wishbone, he didn't do it on purpose.
He did! He did! Let me at him! Now cut it out! You're acting dumber than he is.
Just let me kill him once! Please just let me at him once! Rowdy! Mr.
Favor.
What are you doin' pickin' on an old man? He didn't do this on purpose.
How come you ain't getting this wagon righted? Don't you know your job? Now, you'd better shape up! I'll go back hold up the herd.
Who the does he think he is? Boss.
All right, Wishbone, grab those reins.
Let's get some let's get some backs into this wagon.
Come on.
Rowdy, look out! Lord, now what? Oh, it's real bad.
Looks like a whole fistful of ribs are stove in.
It's too much for me.
He's got to get to a real doctor and soon.
Haverstown is the only place that's even close.
Do what you can, Wish, till I get back.
Rowdy, you take over.
I'll go with ya.
You heard what I said.
Look, if it wasn't for Harv, I'd be underneath that wagon right now.
I'm going with ya! Clay, take over.
Now, you can see here that all the other organs of the body revolve around the spleen just like the planets revolve around the sun.
And that's the secret.
Your body has got to stay in balance with the universe.
Now, do you understand? Yeah! Now, that's my smart boy.
I think that deserves something, Bobby.
There we are.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Boy, that tastes good! Now, you run along outside and play, huh, while I give Daddy his treatment.
Okay.
Yes, sir, my friends.
What can I do for you? You a doctor? You name it and I can cure it.
What's the trouble? I've got a drover with a caved-in chest.
He's in a pretty bad way.
You're usin' leeches? The most reliable medication known to mankind.
It'll cure almost anything that ails you.
Look, is there a real doctor in this town I mean a regular medical doctor? You know Sure, friend.
You want a fancy doctor from the East, with a lot of degrees? Uh, yeah.
Well, he'll steal your money.
But if that's what you want Where is he? A day away, up in Ashville.
Have a nice ride.
Now, Robert, if you'll just be careful there, relax.
Mmm.
What's the matter with him? He seems to know his business.
Sure does, Mister.
I don't know what this town would do without the professor.
Nothin' closer than Ashville? Hey, Daniel, how about Forget it, Robert.
It'd be funny.
Say, friend, if it doesn't work out, I'll be glad to handle your undertaking for you.
I'll go look after Bobby.
Dr.
Amadon, end of street.
Bobby! Bobby! What? Wonder why the professor said there was no real doctor any closer than Ashville.
Ain't going to find out standing here.
Let's go.
Get out! Wait a minute.
I don't know what your trouble is.
We just need a doctor.
What did you two come back for? You're afraid you missed something? We got a man with a crushed chest.
Is there something else here that you'd like to wreck? It's an emergency, lady! I ain't got time to waste! Well, neither have I.
So get out! And tell that phony professor that the next time he sends somebody here I am going to blow their head off! Wait a minute.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
My name's Favor.
I'm trail bossin' a herd going north.
Now if you'll just tell me where the doctor is.
I'm the doctor.
You? Louise Amadon, M.
D.
Yeah, but you're a woman.
How clever of you to figure that out so fast, Mr.
Favor.
Now do you want a doctor or don't you? Well, yeah, sure.
We need a good doctor.
I mean, this is an emergency.
We ain't going to find nothin' here.
Let's go back and get the professor.
I ought to let you two try that charlatan.
He's a man, which means that he fits your specifications perfectly.
But you wouldn't be the ones to suffer.
And I have to remember that my responsibility as a medical doctor is not to you, but to the patient.
I guess you'll have to do.
Well, thanks.
Where's the patient? He's back at the herd camp.
I though the doctor I mean you would go back there with us.
Well, I will.
But you'll have to wait.
I have a patient in the other room.
Excuse me.
She may be a real doctor like she says.
But, uh, still a woman.
It's almost up to the wrist now.
No feeling.
No feeling at all.
I I keep looking at it.
I keep waiting for some sign.
But there's no sign at all.
Maybe you're wrong, Dr.
Amadon! Maybe you're wrong about the whole thing! Mrs.
Opel, we made every possible test.
The only reassuring thing I can tell you is that you're not contagious at all yet.
I keep hoping.
I keep praying to God that there's some mistake.
But there could be! Look! There's nothing! There is no mistake, Mrs.
Opel.
Now, we've talked about this before.
You must leave.
I'm so frightened.
I know.
I know.
And I grieve for you.
But you must leave.
- Not yet! - Now! You can't stay here, Mrs.
Opel.
You must leave immediately.
If you don't, you'll jeopardize the lives of so many people, particularly your husband's.
Here now.
You drink this.
It'll help your nerves.
Look, how long are you gonna let 'em gossip in there? She's got a patient.
Well, the patient looked all right to me.
She was standing on her feet.
For all we know, Harv might be bleedin' to death while they're in there talking.
This is a doctor's office, and not a saloon Look, you know this is an emergency.
I have another emergency here in my consultation room.
Now, get your horses ready, and I'll be with you in a few minutes.
Mrs.
Opel, have you told your husband yet? I tried to tell him, Dr.
Amadon.
I tried to tell Arnold the last time, but I just couldn't.
You must.
It's no disgrace.
It's not your fault that you have this disease.
Poor Arnold.
What will he do? If only I could have some more time to prepare him for this.
Mrs.
Opel, there is no more time.
You must tell him today.
I can't tell him! Don't you understand? He'll never let me go alone.
Being mayor of this town means everything to him.
He'll throw away his career, everything.
Mrs.
Opel, listen to me.
And please listen very carefully.
If you don't leave town immediately, I'm going to have to report your case to the authorities.
I'm a doctor.
I have no other alternative.
No! Please! I know how difficult this is to face.
Leprosy is a Don't! Don't, please.
Don't say it.
I can't believe that it's happening to me.
Molokai, it's it's the other end of the world.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry there's nothing more that I can do.
Oh, you You've done all you can.
I'm beholden to you.
Do you mind if I stay here just a few minutes? I don't want anyone to see me like this.
Of course not.
You stay here as long as you like.
But I have to go now, Mrs.
Opel.
I have an emergency case waiting for me.
Goodbye.
Where's your buggy? You're wasting time, Mr.
Favor.
Were you able to see what the woman doctor did for her? Nothing, except to give her some stuff from out of a bottle.
Anybody else see her come out? Don't think so.
Good.
You boys go on back and keep an eye on the place.
Where's the doctor? - Right here.
- What do you mean, right here? What I said Dr.
Louise Amadon.
- You're kidding.
- Or crazy, one! That's enough! It's all right.
I'm quite accustomed to stupidity.
Let's see the patient.
Oh, no.
I'm not goin' to turn my patient over to any woman! Are you a doctor? And a good one, besides doin' all the cookin'.
Cooking? What are you doing holding down a woman's job? His cookin' and his doctorin' have been good enough for us, Miss.
Mr.
Favor, I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to remember that my responsibility is to the patient.
Please.
All right, I know how you feel.
But she came out here to help Harv, and that's what she's gonna do.
All right, you're the boss.
All right, the rest of you get back to work.
Now rest easy.
I'm a doctor.
I'm going to examine you and just see that you're all right.
Oh, no! No woman's going to examine me! Ah, see.
What did I tell you? Mr.
Favor, will you please make that fool shut up! Wish! Look, Harv, you're in pretty bad shape.
Gotta let her take care of you if you're gonna pull through.
No, not on your life.
I want a real doctor! Rowdy, don't let 'em.
Ugh! Unh! Ahh.
All right, go ahead.
You heard what he said! This man's in very serious condition.
He has several fractured ribs.
What of it? Drovers are always gettin' busted ribs.
What I'm afraid of is that one of the fractures is going to puncture a lung.
We're going to have to operate, and immediately.
It's a tricky operation.
Yeah, you ever done one? No.
No? You hear that? Moving him back to my office is going to be dangerous.
He may not live.
What do we got to move him back to your office for? Because it's the only place I can perform surgery! Well, look, don't let her do it.
She You just got through hearing her say she's never done one! Afraid we haven't got any choice.
Well, what about the professor! We're going to move him anyway.
Why don't we just take him there? If we do take him back to my place, I'm going to have to ask for your protection, Mr.
Favor.
Because if he dies on my table, I'm in for a lot of trouble.
Dies?! You ain't gonna practice butcherin' on no friend of mine.
I'm going to get him what he wants.
And that's a real doctor.
Look, sonny! I am more a real doctor than you'll probably ever see again! It took me 3 extra years to get into medical school because of idiots like you! And when I got there I had to work 10 times harder and be 10 times better just to get my degree.
Well, now I'm a doctor a real doctor.
And I will not take any more abuse from knuckle-headed cattle bums like you! Is that perfectly clear? All right, Mr.
Favor, what's it going to be? We'll take him back to your place.
If he dies, it's going to be on your head.
Can I come in, Mr.
Mayor? Daniel! Come on in.
I'm just killing time, waiting for the afternoon stage to Blaire.
So that's how you waste the taxpayer's money, huh? No.
No, I did this on my own at home.
I'm taking it to Blaire to have it framed.
Sort of surprise for Loretta.
What a marriage you have, Arnold.
You know, it makes me feel pretty envious.
I'm a lucky man, Daniel.
A man my age, a girl like Loretta.
Well, Daniel, what can I do for you? I want to ask you a question, Arnold.
Do you have faith in me as a healer? What a silly question! Of course I do.
So does everybody else in Haverstown.
Everybody, maybe, except one.
Dr.
Amadon? Nobody pays any attention to her.
Look, Arnold, we've got to get her out of town.
Now, Daniel, it's embarrassing for a town to have a woman doctor.
I admit that.
But as far as I can see, she's not hurting anybody.
Well, it has nothing to do with that! It's just that I've known the folks around these parts for a long while, and I don't like to see them going to somebody who really doesn't know their ailments.
None of our folks are going to see her, are they, Daniel? Well, I wish you hadn't asked me that, Arnold.
As a matter of fact, she does have a patient, a woman.
Loretta? That's right.
And all I can think of is what's wrong with the wife of my dearest friend? Why can't I be helping her? Why does she go to someone who can't possibly do her anything but harm? But there's nothing wrong with Loretta.
There must be some mistake.
There's no mistake, Arnold.
Loretta's been going there for some time.
She's even been going there nights when you were working.
How could she hide this from me? We've never had any secrets from each other.
Well, you certainly have 'em now, Arnold.
And you can lay the blame right smack at the door of that Madam Dr.
Louise Amadon! Poor Loretta.
She must be so frightened.
Oh, the poor child.
I hope it's nothing serious, Daniel.
Whatever it is, Arnold, I hope that woman doctor didn't make it serious.
Well, I'm going to find out right now.
But you'll miss the stage.
That can wait.
Loretta if there's anything really wrong with her About getting that doctor out of town Don't you worry about that, Daniel.
I'll call a meeting of the town council before the week is out.
Good.
Good.
Now you hurry home to your dear wife.
And I'll be in my office if you need me.
Thanks.
Take his clothes off and cover him with these sheets.
Get the instruments out of the glass case.
You! You're the cook! And put them in this hot water.
Make up the cot.
Then come over here and wash your hands.
There's some whiskey on that wooden cabinet.
Feed it to him.
Give it all to him if he'll take it.
You want these all at once or would you like somethin' first? Undressing him, putting the sheet over him, fixing the cot, washing our hands, or feeding him the whiskey? You'd better give him the whiskey first.
Forget about the whiskey.
He stopped breathin'.
Don't bother firin' me.
Is he dead? His pulse is thready.
And his breathing is shallow.
But he's still alive.
Cook, there's a bottle in that cabinet marked "Spirits of Ammonia" bring that and some cotton.
Get towels, put them in hot water, wring them out, and bring them back here! Mr.
Favor, there are some blankets upstairs.
Please go get them.
Arnold.
I thought you were a highwayman.
You're alone.
Oh, thank the Lord.
Loretta, what is this? Running away with another man? I thought you were going to Blaire, that you wouldn't be back and find out until tomorrow.
You shouldn't have followed me.
What does this note mean? What other man? It means what it says.
I I'm leaving you.
How can there be another man? It doesn't make sense.
It never makes sense at a time like this.
Now let go.
Loretta, you must explain to me.
You just can't run away like this.
There's nothing to explain.
I I no longer love you.
And I do love someone else.
So it's that simple.
Who is he? Nobody you know.
Loretta, how could you? What makes you think that a young girl could be in love with a man your age? Now, I've said it.
Now, please let go of the reins and let me go! Don't leave me, Loretta.
Please don't leave me.
You're the only thing in my life that means anything to me.
I love you so much.
I can forget about the other man.
Please come home with me.
Please, I beg you.
Please let me go! I need you, Loretta.
I'll do anything you say.
If you're tired of the town, we'll we'll go away.
I'll go anywhere you say only don't leave me, Loretta.
Please don't Aah! Oh.
All we gotta do is sew 'em up, and it's all over.
What do you want? The body.
This here is an undertaker and a real doctor.
Witch doctor is more like it.
Well, there is no body.
So you'll all have to get out of my place.
Now, just wait a minute, lady.
You heard what she said.
Get out.
I'm gonna give him a decent burial, and no one's gonna stop me.
That goes for you, too.
Now easy, son.
We can do this without any trouble.
We got the law on our side.
Oh, yeah.
Some law! Now, Sheriff Barker has given Mr.
Yates permission to claim the body of his friend.
and I've got permission to examine that body to see how you butchered that poor man to death.
What was that? You said he was dead, boy.
Well, he was! He stopped breathing.
Well, there is no body.
And I've got work to do.
So get this body-snatcher out of here.
Maybe you been practicing a little witchcraft, huh? She did not.
She did just what any good doctor would have done.
Well, there was only a very thready pulse and very shallow breathing.
She took some ammonia.
And then continuous frictions and inflations of the lungs, and applied heat.
And a vigorous massage for stimulation, and that did it.
Yeah, that's about it.
Now, look Sheriff, the operation isn't over yet.
So I'd appreciate it if you'd clear these men out.
Yeah, sure, Mister - Favor.
- Mr.
Favor.
Yes, we'll do that.
I'm sorry for bustin' in like this right in the middle, so to speak but, well, this drover said the man was dead.
Being Sheriff, and everything Yeah, yeah.
Sure, sure.
I'm just trying to do my duty.
No harm intended.
Just trying to do your duty? Well, where were you, Sheriff, when those hoodlums broke in here and smashed everything that I own? What about your precious duty then? - Give me proof, ma'am.
- Proof? Why? So you that you can turn your back so you won't have to see what you don't want to see? Hold on.
Doctor or no doctor.
I'm not going to let Get out of here! You all get out of my place or you're going to have to be treated for buckshot.
What is the matter with you? You can't threaten the law or any law-abiding citizen.
Now put that down! All right.
Because you're a woman just because you're a woman I'm going to overlook it.
But this is the only warning you're going to get.
Now, the people around here don't like you.
And if I hear one more complaint just one I'm gonna run you out of town.
And that goes double for you saddle bums.
You just step careful.
Come on, Daniel.
I'll stay here.
Not in my place you won't.
Get out! You've still got work to do, Doctor.
I'm glad you're back, Arnold.
I'm sorry to trouble you, but this can't wait.
It's about that woman doctor.
Arnold, what's the matter with you? She's hurt.
I'm taking her home where she belongs.
Arnold, you'd better go into my office and wait for me.
I'll take the buggy back.
Arnold.
Arnold, you'd better do what I say.
I'll take good care of her, Arnold.
I wouldn't have believed this, Arnold.
Loretta.
Loretta, of all people, another man.
But how did you know where to go look for her? ConcepciĆ³n.
Our maid watched her drive away.
She told me in what direction.
But the gun, Arnold.
I've never seen you with a gun.
Never even knew you had one.
It's been lying around the house in case of an emergency.
Emergency First time in my life I wanted to kill a human being.
But there was no man with her.
She was alone.
Oh, my Lord, my Lord, I didn't mean it.
Daniel, I didn't mean it.
You couldn't help yourself, Arnold.
Any man that loved his wife the way you love Loretta would have done exactly the same thing.
But I killed her, Daniel.
I killed Loretta.
I can't stand to see you punishing yourself like this.
Especially when you're not to blame.
But I can tell you who is to blame.
That woman doctor! I know.
I know that's where she went to meet him.
Oh, then she admitted it? No, but I know.
Why should Dr.
Amadon want to do a thing like that to two people who love each other? Because she's evil, one of those free-thinkers who can't stand to see another woman happily married.
Why, Arnold, you know Loretta would never have done a thing like this on her own.
Loretta was a good woman.
Yes, she was, Daniel.
She was.
We can't let that woman get away with it! No, she shouldn't get away with it, should she, Daniel? More than that, she should pay for the crime.
An eye for an eye just like the Good Book says.
She will pay for the crime.
Anybody want a cup of coffee? I think I'd just as soon go get me a drink, ma'am.
Well, Wish, you look like you got the green sickness.
'Tisn't that.
I just want a drink, that's all.
Can't a person even want a drink? Yeah.
Go with him, Quince.
Stay out of trouble.
I'd like a stout one myself.
Look, lady, let's get something straight right now.
If this is going to be a "man-to-man" lecture That's exactly it! Now, I'm not about to advise you on how to be a human being.
That's your problem.
My problem is to take care of my men.
And if you get in the way of that if I have to I'll fight you like the man you're trying to be! Those fools came in here during the middle of surgery.
And you're trying to tell me I shouldn't have treated them like fools? They didn't know nothing about no operation.
They came here thinking Carter was dead.
Once they found out they was wrong, they was willing to leave, nice and quiet.
You ain't got a thought in your head for anybody else but yourself, have you? There's a man's life at stake in there, and you can't hold your temper for one minute? You know better'n anybody else he can't be moved.
Yet you're willing to take a chance on having us all thrown out of town just so you can prove a point? I took a very big chance bringing that man here.
If he dies on my table my whole career is at stake.
Your career would be at stake anywhere! You're a rude, vicious, insulting, conniving woman.
You even bargained with me before you'd agree to take care of a dying man.
I ain't seen you crack a smile once or have a good word for anybody.
Well, I'm a doctor, not an entertainer.
No.
You're not even a good doctor.
A good doctor knows something about human beings and how to handle them.
You? You're just a crank.
You've had your 2 cents' worth, Mr.
Favor.
Now you listen to me! I've learned a very good lesson from men men who wouldn't let me live on campus men who put rats in my lunch box men who made passes on the condition that they'd give me passing grades men who come in here and wreck my place, and I can't even go to the law because the law is a man.
They taught me well.
They taught me that in a man's world you connive and you cheat and look out for yourself, because if you don't, nobody's going to do it for you! You knew what you were getting into when you decided to be a doctor.
Yes, I knew! And every time I run into people like you and your loudmouth friends, I know it's never going to be any different.
Well, you brought it on yourself, so stop your bellyachin'.
Now, I don't give a hoot about your fight with the professor or anybody else in this town.
But when you set the law on us, I care.
Now, until that man in there is well enough to be moved, you just slow down and stop making it tough for all of us.
Do you think I like being the way that I have to be? Just try being nice to someone just once he'll take the first opportunity he has to take your face and rub it in the dirt.
If you would like an example, Mr.
Favor, all I asked you was would you like a cup of coffee! Whew.
What's the matter, Mr.
Favor? Can't you take a dose of your own medicine? Look, I What do you want now? Well Well, I just Get out! I I'm sorry.
I Don't.
Please don't start to be nice now.
That'd be the last straw.
I hate to advise a doctor, but there's nothing wrong with crying.
Morning.
Huh? Oh.
Good morning.
How is Harv? Is he still alive? Well, he's breathing a little hard, but at least he's not dead.
Morning.
Smells like somebody's been cooking.
Well, if you can doctor, I can cook.
Well, hadn't thought of it like that.
But it makes sense.
Makes a pretty good cup of coffee, too.
There's some grits and eggs on the table in the kitchen.
Should he be sweating so much? Oh, it's a fever.
What do you think it means? Well, it could be blood poisoning.
Oh, that's bad, isn't it? If it is I'd have to open him up, clean it out, and hope that it hasn't gone any further.
It looks like it all right.
It could be that his own body will be strong enough to fight it off.
All we can do is wait.
Hey, Boss! I got a wagon outside.
We've got to get out of here.
How's Harv? He ain't dead, is he? No.
But he's taken a turn for the worse.
Well, the professor, he's got the sheriff coming down here.
He's going to close this place up and put her in jail.
Jail? Yeah, the whole town's up in the air.
We got to get out of here.
What do you mean they're gonna put me in jail? The mayor's wife is dead, and they're saying you did it.
Mrs.
Opel is dead? What are we all standing around here for? You can't move him! Dr.
Amadon! Now, you're coming down to jail with me.
And this time I don't want no foolishness.
You charging her with something, Sheriff? With murder! There is nothing that I did to Mrs.
Opel that could possibly have caused her death.
Never mind all that now.
You just come on.
Wait a minute.
You can't take her.
Harv'll die! Favor, you and your men better stay out of this.
She's going to jail.
And she's going to stay there until the circuit judge can hear her case.
Now, this is gonna be done all legal and proper.
Legal and proper? With a male judge and an all-male jury? The necessary evidence will be presented.
What evidence? I had nothing to do with her death! I suppose you're gonna deny that you gave her this, eh, Belladonna.
Of course not.
I gave it to her.
Or that it comes from the plant Deadly Nightshade.
I gave it to her for her nerves.
For her nerves.
Poison! Diluted in a glass of water, it is perfectly harmless to anyone.
Well, that'll be up to the jury.
My guess is that you're going to hang for it.
Sheriff, arrest her! Wait a minute, Sheriff.
Our man in there has taken a turn for the worse.
She's gotta stay here.
She's the only one who can keep him from dying.
Mm-hmm.
Just come on.
Let her go.
That's gonna buy you a hatful of trouble.
Come on, get going.
No, Sheriff.
Come on.
Do something! I'm I'm going to be posting deputies outside this place.
The minute one of you walks outside, you're under arrest.
There's other ways to take care of things if the law can't handle it.
The professor's got something on his mind.
I think we ought to get out of here before he gets those deputies Nothing we can do until Harv's well enough to be moved.
How can he be any better off here? We might as well move him.
If you move him, he'll die.
Any better suggestion? Yes, I have.
Help me prove that I'm innocent.
Heh.
If we was able to prove it, they wouldn't believe it.
I will not stand trial for something that I didn't do.
It can be cleared up immediately.
How's that? Let me examine Mrs.
Opel.
You can't You can't do that.
She's been buried already.
Dig up her body.
What? Haven't we got enough trouble with the law already without askin' to be lynched? That isn't half of it.
You know what they do to people they catch digging up graves? Have you ever seen that? I don't care! It's my only chance! Your only chance? Well, what about us, huh? Wait a minute, that's worse than murder.
It's worse than anything.
People go crazy.
They want to tear you apart.
I've seen it! I know.
No, that's not for me.
Then we'll go to jail.
We still got a chance to get out of here.
Or wait for the mob to come here.
In any case, Mr.
Favor, your friend stands a better-than-even chance of not living.
He's in terrible pain.
If he wakes up like this again, you give him as much whiskey as you can get down him.
Yes, ma'am.
You're the doctor for your gang, and I'm counting on you.
Oh, you don't need to worry about me, ma'am.
All right.
There's no change, Boss.
Those deputies are really on their toes.
Same with the two up front.
It's as dark as it's ever gonna be.
Might as well try for it.
Now, one of us has to be a decoy.
Heh.
Oh, no you don't.
Why should I go to jail? Come on, Jim, it ain't that bad.
- Well, you go then.
- Somebody's got to go.
All right, all right.
We'll be fair about it.
That's fair.
Ah, too bad, Jim.
Now, you give us a minute to get out back.
And then go into your act.
All right, come on, Quince.
Let's make it look good.
No, you gotta stay here! I don't care what the Boss says! I'm gonna get out of here! Don't go crazy! You'll go to jail! That thing you're for I'm going to leave here! They're there.
I'll head this one in.
You better get back on the job.
Hey, come 'round here in back.
Now, you all heard what the deputy said.
That woman doctor and two of them drovers are in the graveyard, digging up the body of that poor innocent, little Mrs.
Opel! I say, let's go and catch 'em in their sinful act! I say, let's go and give 'em the punishment they deserve! What they're doing calls for punishment, Professor.
But you better let the law handle this.
The law? The law didn't even do anything to that woman when she committed murder! How do we know the law will do anything about this?! I say, let's go to the graveyard! Uh-oh, let's get out of here.
Put out that lantern and come on.
No.
I'm staying.
Look, don't go fiddlin' on me now.
That's a mob! Let's go.
I've run out of places to go.
Just leave me your gun.
Look, if we don't get out of here pretty quick, we might as well forget it.
Give me your gun and you two get out.
Too late now.
All right, all of ya.
Hold it right there.
You can't stand against the whole town.
All right, everybody stop.
Hold it right there.
Get their guns.
Sheriff, listen to me.
You got nothing to say, Favor.
You lost that privilege when you put a gun on me.
Sheriff, whatever these two men have done, I'm the one that's to blame.
Oh, yes, ma'am, you are.
For this and for a lot of things.
I figure the judge is going to devote his entire next visit just to you.
All right.
All right.
But before you take us away, let us finish what we came out here to do.
You hear that? Let you finish diggin' up poor Mrs.
Opel's body? Oh, please.
Please! That's the only way I can prove that I didn't poison her! Oh, Sheriff, my career, my whole life, they're right there in that grave.
And that's just where they're going to stay.
If there's anything in this world more sinful than disturbing the sleep of the dead, well, I just been lucky enough not to find out about it.
All right, Professor.
You can go on home.
And take your friends with you.
Now, there's not gonna be any lynchin'! We got laws to take care of these people for what they done.
That ain't good enough! Those people sinned against the town! It's the town's that's got to be satisfied, not the law! Listen! Listen to me! I know how you folks feel.
If I wasn't wearin' this badge, I'd probably be right over there with you.
But it's wrong.
You know it's wrong.
Now, you hired me to uphold the law.
Go home and let me do it! You don't have to listen to him.
Arnold! There he is, folks.
There's our mayor whose wife was murdered! I'm glad you came, Arnold! Because now you can watch while your good friends take care of the people who wrecked your life! We'll get your revenge for you, Arnold! Loretta.
It was an accident, Loretta.
Even though you were going to leave me, I didn't mean to do it.
You know that, Loretta, don't you? You do know that.
Arnold! He doesn't know what he's saying! I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You see, I never had a gun in my hand before.
She was going to leave me.
she loved somebody else.
No, she loved you.
She loved you very much, Mr.
Opel.
She had a dreadful disease.
She was trying to spare you.
Loretta? It's going to be all right.
All right.
Arnold, let's go on back.
Daniel, I think you better come along, too.
I I feel just fine! You in any pain? No, but it's the funniest feeling.
I I feel like I got a hangover.
I wouldn't be at all surprised.
You mean I went through all that without being awake to enjoy it? Now, you lie down! It's going to be a long time before you can sit up like that.
Yeah, I know you didn't want no woman doctor, Harv.
I did my best to fight it.
She's pretty though.
And I'm still alive.
Yeah, I guess she's a pretty good doc, too.
Well, thank you, Rowdy.
Say, Doc, tell me.
Did I yell much? Like a baby.
Well, Boss, I guess you're going to have to be gettin' back to the herd, ain't ya? Yeah, I guess you'll just have to catch up, Harv.
No use kiddin'.
When that time comes you'll be long gone.
There's gonna be other drives.
Well now, there's no need to talk like that.
When you get well, I'm going to need a man around the office.
Sure, I'm right good at fixin' things up.
Say, Boss, maybe on the way back you and the boys could come by and say hello, huh? Yeah, sure.
Sure, we'll do that, Harv.
Enough talk for now.
See you later, Harv.
You lie back.
You need rest.
Gil Thank you.
It's us who owe you the thanks.
Matter of fact, this whole town does.
I wonder you think they'll ever be comin' to you as patients? Well, I have one patient.
That's a good start.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
