The following program is brought
to you in living color on NBC.

How would you like to do
this man-to-man, no guns?

Yeah.

Well, I been sheriffing
around here for a long time,

and I've heard some pretty tall tails,
but this one surely stops the clock.

I'm telling you the truth, Sheriff.
That's exactly the way it happened.

Well, the judge'll be
here in a few days.

- You can try your story on him.
- Sheriff?

What do you want, Quinn?

Well, I heard what
happened to Legget,

so I thought I just better step
up and tell you what I know.

Like what?

There was bad blood
between this one and Legget.

They had a big fight out
near my corrals the day

they started the
drive for Sacramento.

Oh, I heard about that
fight, and four or five more.

Did you hear he said
he was gonna kill Legget?

- Did you say that, boy?
- Yeah. Yeah. I probably did

about the time he was knocking
me down or I was knocking him down.

We were a little
bit riled up, Sheriff.

All right, you've said
your piece, Quinn.

So, uh, why don't you go
on back to buying cattle,

leave the law work
to me, all right?

- I'm just doing my duty, Sheriff.
- Thanks a lot, conscientious citizen.

- Sheriff?
- Yeah?

- Can I send a telegram?
- To who?

Ben Cartwright in Sacramento.

Yeah, I reckon you can, if you
can write it out and pay for it.

Thanks a lot.

Why? Why would
Legget pull a knife on you?

Legget and I were always
fighting, you know that.

I know that, but fighting is one thing
and murder's something else entirely.

Yeah. I know.

Why didn't he use the gun?
Why'd he throw away the gun?

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe
he didn't want to make the noise.

That horse thief, was he
the only Indian around?

He was the only one I saw.

I know he's the only man that
can prove I didn't kill Legget.

- What'd he look like?
- About my height, my weight.

Uh, long black hair.

He wore a blue shirt, the sleeves
were cut off, and a beaded belt.

- How do you find a horse thief?
- I don't know.

Easier to find a
needle in a haystack.

All we can do is start looking
where Candy saw him last.

Yeah. Even if we find
him, can we take his word?

- Hey, Pa, I got an idea.
- Yeah?

- I'll need some money.
- How much?

$200.

Your ideas are bold, but
very expensive, Joseph.

For Candy's sake and yours,
I... I hope this is a good one.

50, 100, 20...

40, 60,

- 80, 200, right.
- Right.

I've sold you Cartwrights
a lot of horses,

but I've never sold
you one as good as this.

Never for that kind
of price either, Jack.

$200 for that horse is highway
robbery, and you know it.

You Cartwrights can
afford it. I'll see you later.

Thanks, Jack.

Little brother, quit
playing games with me.

What do you want
with this horse anyhow?

I'm gonna use
him for bait, Hoss.

- Bait?
- Bait.

I've already gone over the
facts of the case with the sheriff.

You have?

I realized Mr. Canaday
would need a good lawyer,

in which case he'd come to me.

It saves time if I'm
conversant with facts.

They have a good case. Circumstantial,
but strong. It could go either way.

- Do you think you can help him?
- I'll try.

The fee is $500 in advance.

You don't think the
man's life is worth $500?

Well, yes. Yes, I
do, of course, but...

You're paying me to tip the
scales of justice in your favor.

Justice is not inexpensive.

There ain't even a squirrel
turning around up there.

No.

Dadburned bugs, chiggers,
mosquitoes... I got everything but mice.

Well, don't tell
me your troubles.

You know, even if we can get a
Paiute to come up and steal that...

that Appaloosa, ten to one
it won't be the right Paiute.

Well, we'll just turn him loose
and wait for the right one, that's all.

Yeah, but will the right Paiute come
along before they hang Candy or after?

Hey, Charley-Boy?

Charley?

- Charley-Boy?
- Yeah?

Charley-Boy?

Come on, up you go. Attaboy.

You Charley-Boy?

- Can you hear me?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Now, you used to work
for John Legget, didn't you?

Not anymore I don't. He's dead.

I know.

Uh, Charley-Boy...

I was wondering if
you knew of anybody

who might have a
reason to kill old Legget.

Me.

Legget don't pay me my wages.

But I didn't kill him.

Besides, I was scared of Legget.

It's funny, Legget
was scared too.

Mean as a scorpion.

But he was scared. He owed
somebody a lot of money.

Drinking together one night...

he told me if he don't pay
up, he was gonna get killed.

Who'd he owe the money to?

I don't know, that's
when I fell asleep.

No sign of anybody.

Two days we haven't
even seen an Indian.

Yeah. We can't get
lucky like Custer.

It was a good idea,
Joe. It just didn't work.

We'll get back into Reno first
thing in the morning for the trial.

All right.

Drop that knife.

Drop it.

I've lost two nights
sleep trying to catch you.

There ain't nothing makes me
madder than losing all that sleep.

Joe! Wake up, Joe!
I think we got him!

At least we got a fellow
that fits the description.

Yeah, blue shirt, beaded
belt... fits the description all right.

What's your name?

Hoss, how's your Paiute?

Well, I can say, "We
come as friends."

Yeah, I got a feeling he's
not gonna believe that.

We... need your help.

How do you say,
"We need your help?"

What did he say?

That's how you say,
"We need your help."

- He speaks English.
- I also speak Paiute,

which makes me smarter than you.

Well, if you're so smart,
how'd you let us catch you?

All right, Hoss. We've
been looking for you.

Is that why you have been
leaving that horse staked out?

- Yeah.
- How did you expect to find me

while you were
hiding under trees?

Well, we found you. That's
the important thing, ain't it?

About a week ago, you
tried to grab two horses.

A friend of ours caught up with you, a
fellow named Candy. You had a fight.

- Do you remember that?
- Why?

Because during that fight there
was a shot, that shot killed a man.

And that friend of ours
is being held for murder.

I remember. It
happened as you say.

All right, will you come with
us to Reno and testify to that?

No.

I told you, you go to
Reno and tell them.

We can't do that. You're the
witness, you have to testify.

All right.

Bring them here.
I will tell them.

We can't bring the court here.
You're gonna have to go there.

If you don't, he'll hang.

If I do go, they will hang me.

No, they won't. Now,
look, we guarantee it.

We'll get you into
town and out again.

- No.
- Well, they probably wouldn't take

the word of a
horse thief, anyhow.

- I am a chief.
- You're a horse thief.

I am a great horse thief.

Brave men steal the
horses of their enemies.

When you steal a man's
horse, you steal his pride.

Gives you honor.

Where I come from,
it gets you hung.

Look, we can take you
whether you want to go or not.

Even if they will not
believe a horse thief?

- Well, they might believe a chief.
- Oh, Joe, he ain't no chief.

A chief wouldn't let
himself get caught this easy.

You did not catch
me. I caught you.

If I told him to cut your
heart out, he would do it.

If I told him to strip
the flesh off your back,

inch by inch, he would do it.

Do you know why?
Because I am a chief.

You're not a chief,
you're a coward.

- Shall I show you?
- How? By having him kill me?

The Cheyenne let their
women kill prisoners.

Are you trying to prove you're
as brave as a Cheyenne squaw?

No, a chief is a man who looks for justice.
He couldn't let an innocent man die.

It'll be just one less
white man for me to kill.

It takes no courage to have someone
else do your killing. You're a coward.

You're afraid of the white man.

I will go with you to Reno.

But before this is over,
you will eat your words

because I will feed them to you on
the point of this knife, one by one.

In there.

- You're sure nobody saw you?
- Nobody saw us.

- He's the one?
- It's the one, absolutely.

Good.

Will he testify?

He'll testify, I don't know
who's gonna believe him.

What's his name?

Why do you talk about me
like I'm some kind of horse?

- He speaks English.
- Why didn't you tell me?

You didn't ask me.

- Who is he?
- Oh, that's my father.

- What is his name?
- Ben Cartwright.

- Can he speak Paiute?
- Well...

- I can speak for myself.
- I can too.

So if you have any
more questions, ask me.

I'm sorry.

Hoss, while I'm
talking here to, uh...

Jocova.

Well, I...

Go over to Mr. Scott,
he's the lawyer I hired,

and tell him I want him over here, I
want him to hear what Jocova has to say.

Fine, but can we get something
to eat first, Pa? I'm starving.

Yeah, I'm kinda
hungry myself. Joe?

Yeah, I could use a steak.

- Uh, Jocova?
- Hm.

What would you like to eat?

You just name it and we'd
be happy to get it for you.

Buffalo hump.

Oh, I... I don't think that they
have buffalo hump in the restaurant.

Then I'll have boiled dog.

You'll eat what
everybody else eats, huh?

How about steak?

That's cow.

Yeah, it is a cow. You know,
they might have some venison.

Well, as a matter of fact
they do. I saw it on the menu.

- They have venison.
- Venison.

Fine, how do you want it fixed?

Over an open fire made
with dry buffalo chips.

Oh, sure. Just that.

Yeah, Hoss, stop by the jail on the
way and tell Candy the good news.

Yeah.

Well...

Yeah, I think this would be
a good room for you to be in.

That way nobody can get in here
without coming through here first.

That way nobody
will get to see you.

I'll call you as soon
as the food gets up.

- Oh, brother.
- What's the matter?

- Don't you know who that is?
- No.

The most wanted
Indian in the territory.

- What?
- Well, there isn't a lawman around

that doesn't want to
get his hands on him.

Well, that's great.
What do we do now?

Try to figure out some way of keeping
our only witness from being hanged.

- Makes leather soft.
- Hm.

You know, I was wondering,
where'd you learn to speak English?

From pony soldier.

When I was small, I lived
outside of the fort gates.

Is that where you learned
to hate the white man?

You think because I steal their
horses I hate the white man?

You kill them.

I have never killed
one white man.

- Everybody thinks you have.
- Yes. This is good.

If they think I am a killer,

they do not chase me
when I steal their horses.

- Who is it?
- It's me, Pa.

- I found him over at the saloon.
- Good evening, Mr. Cartwright.

Good evening.

You picked a most
inconvenient time for consultation.

Well, I didn't think this could
wait. The trial is tomorrow.

It hasn't slipped my mind,
if that's what's worrying you.

I would like to get
back to my poker game.

A man is on trial for his life, and
that trial starts tomorrow morning.

And I'm defending him.

That is a terrible
responsibility, Mr. Cartwright.

I'm fully aware that I hold
another man's life in my hands.

In court tomorrow, I
will do my very best.

Well, Mr. Scott, I'm sure
that you will do your very best.

And as a matter of fact, to insure
that, we have a witness for you,

an eyewitness, a man who was
with Candy when that shot was fired.

- Then he really is innocent?
- What did you think?

It doesn't matter what I think.

Innocence or guilt, that's
for the jury to decide.

All right, let's
see the witness.

You're joking.

He was with Candy
when Legget was killed.

- He is Jocova, isn't he?
- Yes.

I'm sorry you went to all that
trouble. We can't possibly use him.

His appearance in court
would prejudice the entire case.

- How?
- He's an Indian and a wanted man.

You mean you... you're not
gonna use the only witness we have

who can corroborate
Candy's story?

No. It would only
confuse the court.

They wouldn't know whether to hang
the defendant or hang the witness.

They might end up by
hanging them both, side by side.

- You're not gonna use him?
- No.

Well, then I'm afraid we're gonna
have to get ourselves another lawyer.

If you can find one.

I'll see you at
the trial, anyway.

I wouldn't miss this for the
biggest poker game in Denver.

There goes the
best lawyer in town.

I say good riddance.
Let's get the second best.

Well, he's also the second
best, and third, and worst.

He's the only lawyer in Reno.

I guess that leaves it up
to us and... and Jocova.

Jocova, just tell me exactly
what happened out there

so we'll know
what to say in court.

Two white men were fighting
while I stole their horses.

Oh, I... I don't think you'd better say
anything about stealing horses in court.

- It is the truth.
- Yes, I know it...

Now... now, you tell it
just the way it happened.

- Who's there?
- Sheriff Crowley.

- Yeah?
- Evening.

- Come in, Sheriff.
- Sorry to bother you, Mr. Cartwright,

but somebody said they
seen your two boys here

sneaking an Indian
up the back way.

Oh?

Said it looked a
whole lot like Jocova.

Well, I wonder who'd
say a thing like that?

I don't know, but as long as I'm
here, I might as well take a look around.

What's in there?

What's going on here?

There something in
there, Mr. Cartwright,

- that you don't want me to see?
- Of course not.

Well, you... you won't mind if I
take a look for myself then, will you?

Hey, C.J., you still down there?

Right where you left me.

See anybody come
out this here window?

No, nothing's moved since
you went up them stairs.

Well, I'm sorry to bother
you, Mr. Cartwright.

That's all right, Sheriff.

- It's time to go, boys.
- Yeah.

Right.

Jocova, you stay in your room.

No one must see you before
it's time for you to appear in court.

And when it is time, I'll have the
boys come and get you. All right?

- In case you need me.
- Thanks.

- Who's the judge?
- Judge Butler.

- He's the hanging judge.
- Thanks.

One of my lucky days.

Take your hats off.

Stand up.

Sit down.

All right, Mr. Prosecutor,
what have you got?

- Hello, Ben.
- Morning, Your Honor.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm acting as counsel
for the defense of Mr. Canaday.

Come here a minute.

- You're no lawyer, Ben.
- I know.

What makes you think you
can handle the defense of a man

- who's on trial for his life?
- Somebody's gotta do it.

Oh. Can't get a lawyer
to take the case, huh?

All right. There's something you
ought to know that's very important.

If murder's proved,
it's a hanging offense.

- I know that.
- Now, let's get on with it.

Hiram, Mr. Prosecutor,
call your witnesses.

I call Joe Cartwright.

Put your hand on the Bible.

- Do you swear to tell the truth?
- Yeah.

Sit down.

Mr. Cartwright, did you
ever see the defendant

and the murdered man in a fight?

- Yeah, I guess I did.
- How often?

- Two or three times, I guess.
- Maybe four?

Yeah, maybe.

Enough to know they really
hated each other, right?

I'm waiting for your
answer, Mr. Cartwright.

Candy didn't kill him.

What were they
usually fighting about?

Oh, anything and everything.

It didn't take much of a reason
and never was very serious.

Do you think either of them
took the threat seriously?

Well, Legget said that Candy was
a hard case and meant to kill him.

Now, in your opinion,

why would the murderer bring
the body of his victim back to town?

Hm... throw suspicion off himself
and maybe onto the Indians?

But could it have
been the Indians?

Well, he still had his scalp.

I don't think it
was the Indians.

Your witness, Mr. Cartwright.

- No questions.
- That's all, Sheriff. Thank you.

That's my case, Judge.

Ben?

Hoss, go get Jocova.

Don't bring him in, don't let
anybody see him until I call for him.

Yeah.

I have to tell you, he's
got a pretty good case.

You sure you can
handle the defense?

Well, sir, that depends
on you and Hiram.

There's something
I wanted to tell you.

I personally guaranteed his safety
if he'd come in here and testify.

Well, I'd kinda like to hear
what this Jocova has to say.

- Hiram?
- I don't know, Judge.

What is it you
don't know, Hiram?

In the first place,
he's a savage.

His swearing on the Bible
wouldn't mean a thing.

- Oh, come on.
- You don't have to believe in the Bible

- to be able to tell the truth.
- But there's more to it than that.

Get off your high horse, Hiram.

Let's hear what this
man has got to say.

It's your courtroom.

You can go.

Now, Ben Cartwright is
about to call a witness.

You may not like this witness,
but he's here to see justice done.

And if anyone so much
as lays a hand on him,

he's gonna have me to
deal with and the devil to pay.

Ben, call your witness.

Well, Your Honor, uh...

My... my boys have just
gone out to... to get him.

And I'm sure they'll be
here in just a moment.

You've got 30 seconds.

- Where is he?
- He's gone.

He ain't there. He ain't nowhere.
We couldn't find him no place.

- You looked all over?
- Yeah.

You're delaying
things, Cartwright.

Your Honor, I would like to ask
for a temporary recess until we...

until we can find our witness.

I am here, Mr. Cartwright.

Where'd he get the hat?

The same place he
got the coat, I guess.

Your Honor, I'm
ready to proceed.

Shut up!

Would you please tell
the court your name?

Jocova.

And you are a member
of the Paiute Nation?

I am a chief.

Chief Jocova,

do you know what
this trial is about?

Yes.

Now, would you please
tell the court where you were

and what you were doing
the day Legget was killed.

I was hiding in the woods.

I saw two men coming.

One was the man who was
killed. The other was this one.

They left their horses

and they climbed to a
high point to look around.

The one who was killed

attacked this one with a knife.

While they were fighting,

I ran out to steal their horses.

- Shut up!
- I see.

And then?

I was riding away
with their horses

when this one
jumped from a... a bank

and knocked me from the saddle.

While we were fighting,
there was a shot.

I thought more white men were
coming, so I rode away and hid.

I saw this one run back

to the other man.

The other man was already dead.

Thank you, Chief
Jocova. Your witness.

Why did you hide when you
saw the two riders approaching?

Because I was going to steal
their horses and their guns.

Shut up!

Did you intend to kill them?

Only if I had to.

Judge, you can't take
the word of a man like this.

He just confessed to being a
horse thief and a would-be murderer.

Why, you don't believe all the
things he said about himself, do you?

- I certainly do.
- Well, if they're true,

the rest is true, and
Mr. Canaday is innocent.

Sit down, Hiram!

- Was Legget killed by an Indian?
- No.

If it had been one of my Indians,
he would have bragged about it.

Did you see anything else?

This.

It was in the grass where the
two white men were fighting.

Why didn't you
mention this before?

Nobody asked me.

Mr. Canaday, do you
own a gold toothpick?

Me? I never owned
a gold toothpick.

I don't think I've ever seen
but two or three before...

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Joe. Joe, who was it?

- Uh...
- Who was it?

- Quinn!
- Yeah, it's Quinn.

Mr. Quinn, if you've got a
gold toothpick, let's see it.

Well, I...

I guess I left it at home.

Your Honor, I'd like to
ask another question.

Go right ahead.

Jocova, is there something
that you haven't told us

because nobody's
asked it you of you?

- Yes.
- What is it?

After this man
rode out with body,

I saw another white man come
out from hiding behind trees.

I followed him to Reno.

- It was this man.
- That's a lie.

And he rode an
unshod Indian pony.

Lies! Every word!

No, no, no, they're not lies.

An unshod pony, to make the
killing look like the work of the Paiutes.

- No!
- You and Legget were working together!

- No.
- Of course they were.

That's why Legget wanted to
bring the herd back to Reno.

To sell the beef to
you for $12 a head.

Instead of the 18 we could
get in Sacramento. Of course.

That's what Charley-Boy
was talking about.

Said that Legget owed
somebody a lot of money.

That he was afraid the
fellow was gonna kill him.

- It was you that killed him, wasn't it?
- No!

I think you're lying.

Put that man in jail, Crowley.

Judge, what about Jocova?

Well, if it hadn't been for Jocova, we
might have hanged an innocent man.

Now, the rest of you people sit
down. This court is still in session.

You take that man over
and lock him up, Crowley.

Yeah.

Mr. Quinn, you're going to need
a good lawyer. I'll go with you.

Now, the rest of us are
gonna sit here for 30 minutes

while I review this case.

Ben, I don't think I'm gonna
need you or your witness anymore.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Jocova, let's go.

- Horses are ready, Pa.
- Oh, good. We're almost ready too.

- Jocova!
- Hold it.

Don't nobody move now.

I don't want nobody to get hurt.
All I want is that there Indian.

Now, you just put your
guns on the bedspread there,

real nice and
neat like. Come on.

All right, if you'll just fold it
up in a nice little bundle for me.

The judge promised
Jocova immunity.

I don't care what
the judge said.

Don't move. Put
the shotgun down.

I was under the bed,
Sheriff, where I was before.

Come in, all of you.

You called me a coward,
now you will eat your words.

You're a brave man and a chief.

- You're also a thief.
- A great thief.

- A big thief, anyway.
- You will go with me.

As I told you, I have
killed many white men.

One more will
make no difference.

Do not follow me.

- No, no.
- No. He means it, he'll kill Joseph.

We mustn't follow him.

Here, take the
horse, he's yours.

Go on.

I told you, he's yours.
What are you waiting for?

If I rode into my village
on this horse now,

my people would know
you gave him to me.

What's wrong with that?

I do not accept gifts
from my enemies.

Or from your friends?

You know something?

It's gonna feel mighty good
to get back to that ranch.

- Hm.
- For a while there, I thought maybe

I wasn't gonna make it.

Pa, Joe, Candy.

Hey, Jocova.

Jocova, I didn't get a
chance to thank you.

Welcome.

It is not easy to be
friends with your enemy.

Now, before I steal from a white
man, I will have to look into his face

to see that I am not
stealing from a friend.

Take care.

Chief.

You know, after
you get to know him,

he's a pretty decent
sort of fellow, wasn't he?

- Yeah.
- Sure did a lot for me.

- Hm.
- Yeah.

You know, in a way, I'm
sorry he didn't take that horse.

Yeah. Strange man.

- But in his own way, a very honest man.
- Yeah.

That son of a gun
stole the horse.

Well, as I said, in his own
way a very honest man.
