Sleepin' like a baby.

Supposin' he wakes up?

Sidney, night watchmen never wake up.

Maybe we should take your father's sign too.

Look, it's a bigger joke if we leave it here.

All right. Go ahead.

Simpson.

Joe, you might have killed him.

Aw, I just put him back to sleep, that's all.

He was gettin' a little restless.

Get the money?

All right. Come on, what are we waitin' for?

New depositors?

Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Sidney, are you gonna let your father win out

just 'cause you're a little nervous?

You know, he runs you like he runs this bank.

Now, you gotta get back at him.

Well, I want to, but...

Look, all I'm doin' is reminding you

of what you had in mind when you come to me.

I don't need to be reminded.

After all, we're gonna bring the money back in three days.

Well, sure, Sidney.

Sure.

Hey, sure gone lame.

Well, we can't wait here.

I don't want the sheriff to drag me back to my father.

You're worryin' about your father,

me, I'm worrying about jail.

Well, we didn't steal that money.

Yeah, yeah, you know, I...

I keep forgetting.

Well, now, ain't that nice?

Now I can trade off old Slew-Foot here.

What for?

Need a horse, don't I?

Cattle drive that size hires plenty of drovers.

Drovers ride horses.

You're gonna steal a horse.

Sidney, I'm gonna trade.

Well, be about an hour or so before they break camp.

That's when we, uh, trade horses.

Oh, Wish, don't forget to save some breakfast for Rowdy.

Yeah, I missed him. Where is he? Sick or something?

Yeah, he's sick, all right. He's lovesick.

Oh.

Not again.

Yeah, a gal he met when he went in

to pick up supplies at Ansley.

You ought to have heard the way he described her.

Said she's half moonbeams

and half music of twilight.

A half-breed?

Yeah.

Yeah, there must be somethin' different about her.

He never even missed seconds when he was moonin' over

that Cindy from Barsville.

I don't think it's so much his appetite he's lost

as, uh, he doesn't care for our company for breakfast.

The boys rode him a bit hard last night,

a bit more than he could take.

He'll get over it soon though.

Just don't mention Eloise around here.

That's her name.

Come on. Yeah.

Ho.

Mushy!

What do you think you were doing?

Uh, pickin' up the pots and pans I dropped, Mr. Wishbone.

And you were dreamin' about somethin'.

Yeah, I guess I was.

What?

Uh, I was just thinkin', uh,

ain't nothin' compared to the man fallin' in love.

It's a bunch of foolishness.

A man falls in love and he gets stupider

than one of those beeves.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Well, I know so.

Not that I haven't had a couple of mishaps myself.

Like, there was this woman in Waco.

Pretty? Why, the sight of her made your knees turn to soup.

And what a voice.

So sweet it made you wanna bottle it.

Yeah, go on, Mr. Wishbone.

Why haven't you washed those pans?

'Cause I was here, standin' here talkin' to you.

Well, don't ever do it again.

Now, get those pans and wash them.

Where?

At the stream we crossed just before we made camp last night.

I didn't notice it, Mr. Wishbone.

They say you can't take a horse to water and make him drink,

but you can sure take a cook's louse to water

and make him wash.

Come on.

Come on. We've got enough time.

Somebody might be ridin' in at any minute.

Somebody better.

There ain't no horse in sight.

What are you doin' that for?

We gotta eat, don't we?

Here, hold this.

Come on.

Wishbone?

Wishbone?

Wishbone?

Joe, did you have to do that?

Well, we'd done got ourself a horse. Come on.

But I thought there wasn't gonna be any trouble.

There won't be if we get out of here.

Well, you comin'?

Wishbone?

How about some coffee?

Wishbone?

Wish!

Hey, Rowdy, what's the matter with you? That's my horse.

Well, that's the way they ought to be. Nice and clean. Keeps...

What happened here?

Doggone funny thing just happened.

Well, you and me got a different sense of humor,

you think this is funny.

What's the idea of messin' up my kitchen?

I ain't been messin' around your chuck wagon.

Boy, somebody did.

Maybe it's the wind or something.

Or some thievin' drover.

I ain't got nothin' belongin' to you.

All I'm tryin' to tell you...

Well, somebody has.

Now, don't worry about it.

I'm not gonna be sore when I catch him.

I'm just gonna cut his throat.

Wishbone, all I did was ride in here to try to get me...

Quince, go and find Mr. Favor and tell him this chuck wagon

don't move one inch until I find out

who's been stealing my supplies.

Doggone it, Wishbone...

Now, don't argue with me unless you don't want

to eat again until we hit the railhead. Now go.

All right.

Where's the cash box?

Cash box? Yeah, the cash box.

The one that's supposed to be here.

The one that's got the payroll in it.

Well, I didn't think we had two.

Well, every drover who's had a chance at that chuck wagon

is right here, except one. That's Rowdy.

Well, I sure don't think it'd be him.

The cash box sure isn't here.

Well, whoever did it, raiding a chuck wagon's one thing,

stealin' the cash box is somethin' else again.

Whoever did it is goin' to jail.

We'll search all the war bags.

Boss, I wasn't gonna say anything when I thought

it was only the provisions, but, uh...

Well, Rowdy was here.

You see him ride in?

Well, I saw him ride out, and on my horse.

That don't prove much.

Señor boss,

if Rowdy needed money for a relative

or something like that, he would have asked you for it.

Not unless, uh, he needed it for Eloise.

He still would have asked me.

Would you have given it to him?

No.

Well, that's why he wouldn't ask you.

Look, I'm not saying that Rowdy did it,

but even if he did, he'll be back.

Mr. Favor, that money was our pay.

I tell you what.

If he doesn't get back,

I'll make it up out of my own pocket.

Well, have you got the money in your pocket,

or even enough to buy supplies with?

Hadn't you better wait until you miss a meal

or a payday before you start worrying?

Well, it might be a little late by then, don't you reckon?

I'll tell you what.

You willin' to put up some money?

What for?

I'm sayin' that Rowdy will be back by payday, with the money.

Well, I might gather up about $5 on that.

Can anybody else get in on that?

Which side?

Well, I would bet on Rowdy

if there wasn't a girl mixed up in it, but...

How much?

About $10.

You've got a bet.

In the meantime, he may be havin' trouble.

You'd better get mounted and try and find him.

Anything you say.

Señor Boss,

will you permit me the honor of taking half of your bet?

I'm glad to see Rowdy's got such a good friend.

You're on, Hey Soos.

Anybody else willing to take a bet?

Count me in for $2.

Five on that.

Sidney, you ever drink wine out of a bottle?

My father doesn't approve of drinkin'.

My father doesn't approve of anythin',

except pilin' one dollar on top of another.

I guess he's having a fit right now.

Wouldn't be surprised.

Find out somethin' could go wrong with his precious bank.

You know, by the time we get to Fort Worth,

I ain't gonna drink anything but wine out of a bottle.

Fort Worth?

We're not goin' there.

We don't have time.

We gotta get that money back to Kimberly in three days.

We don't have to get that money back at all.

Stapp, I asked you to help me to play a joke on my father,

to teach him a lesson.

He's gonna get a bigger lesson than you figured on, that's all.

I never had really stealin' that money in mind.

I never had anything else in mind.

That money's goin' back to Kimberly.

Now, you can go back to Kimberly if you want,

but that money stays with me.

I'm not a thief.

All right, you're not a thief.

But I am.

You send me back empty-handed, I'll own up.

I don't care what happens to me.

Own up, huh?

Sic the sheriff on me, huh, Sidney?

I'd rather be dead.

You just might be.

Look, I don't want no shooting.

I just want that cash box and my horse back.

Cash box?

What cash box?

You know what cash box.

The one you took off that chuck wagon.

Look, I-I don't know nothing about no cash box.

Took one of your horses, maybe,

but I'll give you a good price for him.

That horse ain't for sale.

Look, how long do you think you're gonna be able

to stay there, pinned down like you are?

Long as you can.

Yeah, well, we're gonna see about that.

Well, there's a lot of tracks here, sheriff,

goin' every which way.

Well, I gotta keep trying.

Crazy cowboy.

Wonder what he wants.

His horse.

You know, where he's staked out,

he won't be able to see the top of that bank.

Don't, Stapp.

I'll shoot.

I mean it.

Drop the gun.

That shot sounded like it came from Yellow River Gulch.

Sheriff, up there.

Joe Stapp.

He's dead.

The body's still warm, though.

Other one must be around here someplace.

With the money.

We'll spread out and get him.

Go. Come on.

Too bad we got so many strangers in town.

It will make that bank robber a lot harder to find.

We'll find him.

Timothy, Randall,

get off to the top road and stay there.

Nobody leaves town.

Hans, you and Gregory stay here.

Sheriff. Heh.

If I don't display that money as I promised,

I'll be the biggest laughingstock in the West.

We know the bank robber's in town someplace.

Well, congratulations, sheriff.

But where's my money?

Warned you to put additional night watchmen on.

That wouldn't be necessary if we had an efficient sheriff.

You may be president of this bank, Mr. Porter,

but you don't hire me.

No,

but my investors do.

Sidney.

Mother.

Well, where have you been?

Keepin' pretty late hours, aren't you, Pa?

I've been just... Up to, uh, Paris...

Paris County, visiting.

Well, is anything wrong?

Someone robbed your father's bank of $50,000.

Fifty th...

Well, I...

Did you find the robbers?

Yeah. One of 'em.

Someone you know pretty well.

Oh?

Joe Stapp.

Joe?

That's right.

Well, I-I-I knew he was a little wild,

but I never...

Well... Well, what did he have to say about it?

Well, he was dead when we caught up to him.

But there was someone else with him.

Someone who helped him rob the bank

and shot him afterwards.

Well,

I guess there's no honor among thieves.

Do you, uh, have any idea where the other one might be?

Yeah. He's in town.

I'll let you know the minute anything happens.

Well, that's very thoughtful of you, sheriff.

What do you do in Paris county all the time, Sidney?

I rob banks, Mother.

It's no joking matter.

I'm sorry, Pa.

I forgot that banks were so sacred.

Don't speak to your father like that.

He's done everything for you.

I know.

I don't want him to do everything for me.

I don't want him to treat me like some half-witted child

who hasn't got enough sense to keep himself

from falling into a well.

Your father's never treated you like that.

No? Then why didn't he make me manager of the bank

instead of Jepson.

Or even head cashier.

Pa doesn't think that I can add the fingers on my hand.

I don't know where your talents lie, Sidney.

You never exhibited them to my satisfaction.

Well, why didn't you ever give me a chance?

I could do a lot of things.

Such as picking a friend like Joe Stapp.

No, I...

I was wrong about Joe.

Well, that's typical of your judgment, I'm afraid.

The worst element in town.

The robber of my bank.

The murderer of Mr. Simpson,

if he dies from that blow on his head.

That's the kind of man my son cultivates.

Well, maybe since you know Joe Stapp so well,

you also know who helped him.

Maybe it's another friend of yours.

I should have stayed in Paris County.

Sidney, wait.

Albert Porter,

I've been saying you're a fool for 35 years.

And for 35 years you've been proving me right.

I didn't say anything that wasn't true.

Do you think I enjoy being ashamed of my own son?

Fifty thousand.

Whew.

Hello, Lil.

You let go of me, brute.

Come on, Lil, I just wanna talk to you.

I told you before

I don't wanna have anything more to do with you.

Oh, Lil.

Lil, I like you. I like you.

Don't you get a little too touchy.

I don't think the lady wants to play, mister.

Nobody asked you your opinion.

Is he bothering you? You're bothering me.

I wanna thank you, mister.

You're welcome, miss.

That was a pretty nice right cross, fella.

Hm? What?

The one that laid Groat low.

Groat?

Loudmouth.

Oh.

Well, he's breathing.

Business or pleasure, sheriff?

Business, Ted.

Any strangers come in here recently?

You got eyes.

Look around and see for yourself.

How about the one at the bar?

You better kiss me quick.

We ain't hardly been introduced.

Do like I say.

That's enough.

How you know it's enough?

Now, you keep a civil tongue in your head, Lily.

Who are you?

Well, I...

He's my cousin.

Must be pretty fond of him.

He's my kissing cousin.

I never seen him before.

Well, he's my cousin, not yours.

How long you been in town?

Oh, well, since... Since last week.

Why ain't no one seen him around?

Well, he's been sick.

Tonight's his first night out.

Where's he been staying, Lily?

He's staying with me.

Oh, my family's got strong family feelings.

Yeah, that's right.

Nothing like strong family feelings, is there?

What's your cousin's name?

Yancy.

Yancy?

Well, I never heard of a cowhand named Yancy.

Yeah, well, that's...

You're looking at one right now. That's my name: Yancy Yates.

Heh. If I had a name like that,

I wouldn't let it get around.

Yancy, you ain't looking so good.

You better come with me and rest up

un... Until you get your strength back.

Yeah, I guess...

Excuse me.

Well, that sick man,

he's got the best right cross I ever seen.

You didn't kill anybody or anything, did you, Yancy?

My name ain't Yancy.

I know it ain't.

And I didn't kill anybody or anything.

Well, I'm glad.

It wouldn't have made any difference anyway.

But I'm glad.

Good.

What are you doing here?

Waiting to meet your cousin.

Sidney's like a brother to me.

I'd rather be treated like a cousin.

Sidney Porter.

Rowdy Ya...

Rowdy Yates.

That's a nice name.

All right, Lily, get out of here.

This is my room.

Sure.

Want me to tell the sheriff

that your cousin Yancy is really your cousin Rowdy?

Well, there isn't gonna be any trouble, is there?

No, I don't think so.

Well, I-I'll go watch the square-dancing or something.

Good.

Say, you, ah, recognize my name?

Should I?

My father's president of the bank here in town.

Ah, it must be real nice for you.

No.

No, it's not real nice for me.

Look, we can help one another.

How's that?

You wanna get out of Kimberly, don't you?

Yeah.

Well, you won't until the $50,000 is back in the bank.

Well, what's that got to do with me?

You've got it.

That's the first time I've ever been accused

of having more than $50 on me.

It's not on you. It's in the saddlebag.

You're making up the story, go ahead and finish it.

I know the money's in the saddlebag

because I put it there.

And I know you've got it

because I saw you ride out of Yellow River Gulch

with the saddlebag on your horse, all right?

You were in that gulch?

Look, wait, let me... Let me tell you what happened.

Joe Stapp and I took the money, only...

Only I-I thought it was gonna be a joke. I...

I wanted to play a trick on my father.

But Joe, he...

Joe had different ideas.

So you killed him.

Well, no, no, I-I didn't mean to kill him.

It was...

It was an accident.

H-he was getting ready to shoot you.

What, say, you expect me to believe that?

W-we worked our way up to the top of the gulch.

Joe had a perfect beat on you.

I couldn't let him do it.

That wouldn't have been part of the joke.

All I wanna do is get the money back in that safe.

A-and I can do it without... Without anybody finding out.

And then you can ride out of town.

You won't have to own up to your part of the robbery, then.

I-I never planned on it being a real robbery.

What about killing your partner?

Should I have let him kill you?

Look, ah, h-how do I know I can trust you?

Well, I-I could have told the sheriff.

Not without getting yourself involved, you couldn't.

Well... Well, that's right.

I'll tell you what, I'll, ah... I'll meet you tomorrow.

Maybe with the money, maybe not.

Well, where you going now?

That'd be too easy.

All right.

Tomorrow morning, in front of the bank.

At 9.

At 9.

Um,

tell Lily I need to go feed my horse.

Hey.

That's expensive hay you're eating.

You work on this stack here.

Excuse me, mister, you got the time on you?

Well, I got a watch, if that's what you mean.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

Why, it's 10:30.

Thanks.

Yup.

You there. Hold it.

Look, I can explain...

You'd be surprised

if you knew the kind of things people leave behind them

when they come into the bank.

Yeah, I guess I sure would be surprised.

Yeah, well, you better take your saddlebag.

Now, just suppose that that was full of money.

What would you feel then?

About the same way I feel right now, I guess.

Thank you.

Well, he's all right.

He just rode into town.

Why aren't you eating?

I ain't hungry.

You sure Sidney Porter never eats in here?

No.

Not during the daytime, I told you.

Excuse me just a minute, will you?

Pete, am I glad to see you.

Do I know you?

Look, I need you help.

You don't need any help.

Looks to me like you are doing all right.

Well, I ain't doing all right.

She might even be prettier than the one in Ansley, huh?

Look, I'm bad trouble. You gotta help me.

You will be in bad trouble as soon as I finish this drink

and drag you back to the herd.

And I lose my $10 because I bet you wouldn't be back by payday.

Can't the $10 wait? I'll give you $10.

I'm in trouble. I need your help.

I just didn't think you'd get that money-hungry.

You know about the money?

Of course I know about the money.

You don't think you could steal a cash box

and none of us know about it.

F... Cash box. I'm not even talking about the cash box.

I'm talking about $50,000 taken from the bank here.

Fifty... Shhh.

Let's go outside, and I'll explain it all.

Hey, mister.

I got a desire to apologize.

First to the lady. And to you.

Yeah, oh, thanks very much.

Hey, mister.

This is all a mistake, Your Honor.

This is a bad mistake.

Your mistake was getting caught, son.

You admit you was at Yellow River Gulch

with Joe Stapp.

Yeah, but...

And when the sheriff and his men came up,

you ran, didn't you?

Well, yeah, that's true.

Rode out of there with a saddlebag containing $50,000.

Yeah, but, uh...

And when you got to Kimberly,

the first thing you did was return the stolen money

to the Kimberly and Southwest Bank.

Well, uh,

no, I didn't, but I...

As a matter of fact, you never did voluntarily

return the bank funds.

No, well, I was going to, but...

You're on trial for murder, son.

We're waiting to hear anything you gotta say.

Murder.

Well, ah...

I, ah... I arranged to return the money to Sidney Porter.

The bank president's son?

That's right. He helped rob the bank as... a joke.

Joe Stapp's killing a joke too?

Well, no, no, he killed Stapp to save my life.

Son, we ain't too much interested in Joe Stapp.

Did you return the money to Sidney Porter?

Well, no. I-I was going to, but...

Not even to the man who saved your life?

I know it's hard to believe...

It's impossible to believe, son.

Gentlemen of the jury,

is it necessary to retire in order to get at a verdict?

It sure ain't.

He's guilty.

Look, I didn't murder Stapp.

We ain't much interested in Joe.

Old man Simpson is the one who...

Simpson?

The night watchman you struck down

in the course of the robbery,

he died last night.

That's why you're gonna hang tomorrow morning.

Lily?

Who are you?

I have been looking all over for you, Sidney.

I wanna talk to you.

Well, I don't wanna talk.

I got nothing to talk about.

Rowdy says you do.

Rowdy.

I just saw him at the jail.

He says you got plenty to talk about.

How did you know where I was?

Lily gave me the key.

Lily.

Lily. I told her I wanna be alone.

I did sense some very important business.

Hm-hm.

He'll notice.

That's all I got left.

No mother,

no father.

No guts.

What do you expect me to do, show up at the trial?

It wouldn't have been necessary, Sidney,

if you'd just have met Rowdy this morning

like you promised to.

Poor old man Simpson.

He died. I...

Made it too dangerous to try to bring the money back.

And now you're... You're willing to let Rowdy hang

for something you did.

I saved his life once.

Even though it was by accident.

I can't do anymore.

I just can't.

Too much of a coward.

I didn't admit anything to you.

Didn't say anything.

I...

I better leave.

Before I don't say a whole lot more.

There's one thing more, Sidney.

Wh...?

What you doing?

Wh...?

You...

You're the one that hit me.

I did.

Where am I?!

The place you're gonna die.

What is this? A joke?

You're the one that makes the jokes, remember?

Take a listen.

Wait.

It's the gallows they're building for Rowdy.

They're gonna hang him at daylight.

And that's when I'm gonna hang you.

Of course, you probably won't die as soon as he does.

'Cause I'm no expert at this.

I got your gun right here.

You can forget it.

It's getting light.

I'm not a murderer.

Neither is Rowdy, but they're hanging him same as I am you.

We'll just call it a life for a life, huh?

I'll give you anything.

Well, all right, how about Rowdy's life?

They've finished.

Get up!

Wait.

Come on. You see what I mean.

All right, look out.

I wondered if you'd reach for that.

Y-you mean you planted it deliberately?

That's right.

Why?

If you're gonna get away with this,

you're gonna have to kill me, same as Rowdy.

I didn't kill Rowdy.

Not yet.

Are you gonna pull the trigger?

No.

No, I'm not a murderer.

I was counting on that.

Well, it's not gonna be so hard from here on out, Sidney.

Let's go tell the sheriff.

All right.

You know, I feel kind of sorry for him.

Oh, he'll get off easy, he's a pretty nice kid.

Looks like you figured him just right.

Well, I never figured you'd let him take that gun.

Oh. Heh!

Empty.

Well, I like you, Rowdy, but I don't like you that much.

Quince, $5.

Thank you, next.

Well, Mr. Nolan, $10, please. Thank you.

You know, Pete, I-I never thought you'd be the one

who'd bet against me.

I'd trust you anytime, Rowdy,

except when you're palpitating over some female.

Well, you saved my neck,

so I ain't gonna hold it against you.

That's right, I did.

The 10.

Oh, yeah. Ten.

Yeah, that's right, I forgot about...

Ah, you know, maybe I...

I was thinking maybe I ought to borrow this 10 back from you.

What for?

Well, you remember that girl back in Kimberly.

You met her. Lily.

Well, anyway...

Pete, I thought...

Pete?
