Light the candle, Willie.

Mr. Smith is going to show us the trick that made him famous.

Now, wait a minute.

I realize that all you guys have heard of my reputation with a gun, but I don't

do much of that anymore.

I've kind of outgrown it.

I leave that up to the guys who just want to look good.

You know, the showboats?

Now, when I pull a gun, I use it.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Well, that's it. What's the damage?

Oh, make it an even $2 ,000.

Fair enough.

I enjoyed the action.

That's strange.

What's strange?

My wallet.

I'm sure I had it when I left the hotel.

I'm sure you did.

Try your back pocket.

It's not there. Somebody must have clipped it.

I'm sorry, but if you'll give me your address, I'd...

Oh, I keep moving around. My dress keeps changing.

Look, friend, this is no con. When I lose, I pay off.

$2 ,000 doesn't mean that much to me. I'll see that you get your money.

Well, that diamond and stick pin you're wearing must be worth something.

I'll just hold that for collateral.

Sorry, no deal.

It's my trademark.

Kind of a lucky piece.

I'm sure it'll be lucky for me, too.

Until you pay off.

You insist?

I do.

Just a minute.

We're not through talking.

It's time for me to insist.

The pen.

You saw what happened. He made the first move.

That's just as well.

I was looking for a reason to hold him for questioning.

Who is he?

It's one of the questions I aim to ask. I also aim to find out what he's doing

in Denver.

I'll hold him for disturbing the peace.

How long can you hold him on that?

A few days.

Can't you hold him longer on attempted robbery?

He tried to steal my tie pin.

on the shots.

Let Billy lead off. I went first the last time.

Step back.

Let me lead off.

Good. That's pretty good, huh?

Your shot, Frank.

That wasn't so good, huh?

That makes two rounds yours.

You're up, Sam.

Ain't gonna be a fair shake.

I've been boozing all day.

You're sure?

All right.

There you go. That's pretty good.

Again, Willie.

I'll get a longer candle. That one, Willie.

Light it.

All right.

Come on. All right, Frank, you're buying, huh?

Need a light, Willie?

Patrick!

Yeah, thanks.

No, no, no.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was just passing through. I thought I'd stop by and do you a little

favor. Do us both a favor and get out.

Now, is that any way to talk to an old friend?

We're closed, understand?

Well, it sounded pretty lively from the outside.

There's nobody here, I tell you.

Well, I just want to make a little deal with you.

What's that worth?

Your life.

That's what it's worth.

Took you long enough to get here.

I run on the boys. The boys?

Yeah.

They're itching to get started.

Poker?

Yeah.

Poker. Well, I'd like to, but... Well, I'm a little short right now.

This is all I've got.

That's all you need.

Come on.

Willie, you should keep the place closed all the time.

You get a much better looking clientele.

He's the one we've been waiting for, Belle.

I'll take him inside. You round up the others.

Hi.

Hi. I'm Belle Starr.

Haven't we met before?

I don't believe so.

I'm sure I'd have remembered.

But I've heard of you.

Well, I've heard of you, too.

Been wondering what you look like.

You got a nice pair of shoulders.

You, too.

Do as I say, Belle.

We're wasting time.

We've been holed up here for three days. Another few minutes won't matter.

I'm glad you're here.

Maybe we'll get a little action now, huh?

Always happy to oblige, mister.

You heard me, Belle.

Get the others.

See you inside.

Shall we go?

Now?

By all means.

Tell me you're pretty good with a gun.

Oh, I do the best I can.

The ladies too, huh?

Like I say, I do the best I can.

Lay off Belle.

She belongs to me.

Understand?

Don't you think you ought to tell Belle that? I'm telling you.

And I won't tell you twice.

Settle down.

You taking over again, Younger?

Yeah. You got a beef? We've been at each other's throats for three days. Now

that our man's here, let's shut up and let him talk.

Right.

Just so it's understood, I'm in charge.

All right, friend.

On your feet and speak your piece.

Me? Yeah, you.

We want to know what you got in mind.

Yeah, what's your plan?

Plan?

Plans. All right, play it cagey. He wants to make sure who he's doing

with. Start off, Sam.

Sam Bass.

$10 ,000.

Dead or alive.

Jim Dalton. $12 ,000. Dead or alive.

Ben Thompson.

$10 ,000 dead or alive.

Black Bart, $15 ,000 dead or alive.

Jesse James, $25 ,000 and you name it.

Well, that's a lot.

That includes my brother.

William Bonning.

One thousand dollars that are alive One

thousand I'm just starting they call me Billy the kid.

Good luck

Well,

I'm impressed gentlemen

To tell you the truth, I don't know what to say.

Hey, wait a minute.

Does he know why we're here?

Don't worry about Willie.

He's harmless.

I worry easy, Miss Starr.

Come on, you.

What's going on?

I told you to get out of here.

There are killers in there, all of them. I know who they are. Who do they think

I am?

Foxy Smith, the brain.

The brain? They think I'm? The law doesn't know what Foxy looks like.

they. All they know is he was supposed to show up here wearing that diamond

stick pin.

You better rough me up just a little.

You were warning me to stay in line or something.

I'll take care of that later, Willie. Right now I've got to get out of here

until I can figure out how to cash in all that reward money.

You'll go out feet first.

That Younger shoots first and asks questions afterwards.

I told you we checked him out.

What are you trying to pull?

Well, I'm double -checking.

Now, you keep your nose cleaner. I'll shoot it off. Savvy? Yes, sir.

All right.

I never gamble, Younger.

Mind if I come in?

Well, it's getting a little late. I got a lot of work to do.

Oh, work.

No play?

You remember I said we met somewhere before?

Well, I figured it out.

It wasn't you.

It was some other fella.

Well, Smith's a very common name.

Can you tell me about the job?

Oh, I'm sorry. That stays locked up inside till tomorrow, Miss Starr.

Bill.

Aren't you going to offer me a drink?

Well, that's a good idea.

We'll go down to the bar.

It's cozier here.

Sit down.

Well, it's getting awfully late.

What's the matter?

You afraid of girls?

Girls? No, it's the men they belong to that make me nervous.

Now, don't you worry about Cole.

He's just got a fast trigger finger and a suspicious mind.

That's all.

That's plenty.

I, uh, expected you to look a lot older.

Tonight I feel a lot older.

Married?

No, no.

You don't talk much, do you?

Well, I figure in my position, it's better not to.

Besides, I haven't thought of too much to say.

Why don't you run along and let me get back to work?

Good night, Bill.

Good night, Mr. Smith.

Just call me Foxy.

Going somewhere, miss?

I was just gonna take the horse out for a walk. His leg's got a little cramped

up on the right end.

Sure you ain't trying to run out?

Wise up, kid.

When I figure out this job, none of us will ever have to worry again.

See you later.

Is that you, Younger?

Yeah.

What's all the shooting about?

Your brains are valuable Smith.

I'd hate to have to blow him out So I like about you you're on your toes

all in this thing together. We can't afford to take chances You don't have to

worry about that Nobody's gonna get away with anything Now get off that horse

Take it Billy let's you and I take a walk

Bill and I were talking

We wondered why it took you so long to get here.

I had a little trouble in Denver.

A lot of trouble?

Or lady trouble.

Or just some two -bit gambler in a sloop.

You always wear that stick pin?

Oh, yeah.

Had it long?

Quite a while. Sort of a good luck charm.

Smith.

Wear it tomorrow.

Because you're going to need all the luck you can get.

Right.

You want me to see he goes to his room and stays there?

Nah.

Sam's inside.

The Dalton boys are taking turns on the watch outside.

He ain't got no place.

From what I heard, that ain't good enough.

They say that nobody can keep Foxy Smith boxed in.

Nobody holds Foxy Smith. You understand?

Nobody.

Take it easy, friend. You'll last longer.

You got no right to hold me here. I got business to take care of. Important

business.

Would you care to tell me about it? I'm warning you, I'll get you for this.

I'll rip that ten -cent badge off your chest and ram it down your throat.

Nobody keeps Foxy Smith boxed in, you understand?

Nobody.

Nice to know.

Willie, I gotta get out of here.

Patrick, you haven't got a chance.

I heard Younger tell the others that he didn't trust you. He says he smells

something fishy.

They've got you surrounded.

You don't have to go to that meeting.

Well, I can't go down there. They expect me to lay out a job for them.

Maybe that's the answer.

What? Lay out a job for them. Oh, come on, Willie.

Only make it so wild that even those cutthroats will turn their back on it.

am I going to do that?

That's your problem.

We're waiting on you, Smith.

Thank you, sir.

You're supposed to call a meeting to order, or is someone else in charge?

I'm in charge. Who said? I say. What difference does it make?

We're here to listen to what Smith has to say.

Now go ahead, Foxy.

And I just meant, are you still willing to vouch for every man in this room?

I told you that yesterday.

Oh, that's right. But like I said, it doesn't hurt to double check.

Quit stalling, Foxy.

Tell us about this mint of money you've been promising to get for us.

What did you say?

I said quit stalling. No, no, no. You used a certain word.

You mind repeating it?

What are you talking about?

Well, let me tell you.

The word was mint.

M -I -N -T.

Mint?

If there's a leak in this organization, we better find out about it and plug it

right now.

you gentlemen are a little confused. Well, let me straighten you out. I have

discussed this plan with no one.

That means that somebody was in my room last night.

Between midnight and seven o 'clock this morning.

Well, I was in your room last night, remember?

You didn't say anything to me about it.

That's right, Miss Star, but you just came to the door. You couldn't have

No, I was in your room.

Don't you remember?

Couldn't have been you.

But somebody found out about the plan.

What plan?

A plan to take over the Denver Mint.

Denver Mint?

I figured out every move to the last detail.

It's a long shot.

It's a very long shot.

But even considering 50%, 75 % casualties, I

say it can be done.

Well, that's my end of it, gentlemen. The rest is up to you.

Foxy, I'll give it to you straight.

Yesterday, I didn't have any use for you.

But this is big.

Real big.

I told you he was smart.

No wonder they call you the Fox.

The Denver Mint.

Can we do that? With Foxy to lead the way, you can.

Now, quiet down, all of you. Let him tell you how.

Go ahead, Foxy. Tell him.

Yeah. Yeah, well.

I've kicked the whole layout. I know every inch of the ground.

So that's why you were two days late.

Late?

Yeah. Don't interrupt.

Go ahead, Foxy.

Well, to begin with, it's a private mint.

We know that.

Well, there are ten men in key position, see? Now, the idea is to get inside.

and to replace each one of these ten men with one of us.

Once inside, you'll all go to your target.

Once the key men are replaced, we load the gold and make our getaway.

I've knocked over trains, banks, and the Pony Express, but this tops them all,

Foxy. When do we get started?

Yeah, whenever we get started. Come on.

Well, gentlemen.

I'm sorry, but we're going to have to wait on that.

You're stalling again, Smith.

Why do we have to wait? Because I say so.

That's not good enough, Smith.

All right, then I'll tell you.

In three days, the gold shipments are going to be coming into the Denver Mint

from all over the surrounding territory.

They're saving it up for one big shipment. Then and not until then do we

hit this size is worth it.

I say we wait.

I say we hit now and take what we can.

No,

it's right now.

Wait a minute.

I'm still in charge of this meeting.

Keep it down.

Younger, you've been shooting your mouth off ever since I got here. You guys

told me to take over.

And as long as I'm in charge, I'll do the talking.

I say if Smith is on the level, we wait.

But I say first.

We check on Mr.

Smith.

I've got a contact in Denver.

We can wire him and check out this story about the gold.

If the shipment is due, like he says, all right.

But if not, I say we do some more checking and make sure we're doing

with a real Foxy Smith.

Marshal, how much do you make a year?

Oh, about 1 ,800.

I lost that much the other night playing poker.

Well, of course, the 1 ,800 don't include pension and other fringe

How would you like to make a year's pay right now?

Well, I'd like that fine, Mr. Smith.

What's on your mind?

Unlock this door.

You mean you'd give me all that money just for that? That's right.

That's all you have to do.

Well, you sure must want out awful bad.

Well?

For what?

You gonna let me out or not?

Oh, I couldn't do that, Mr. Smith.

We really haven't had a chance to get acquainted.

ahead, Cole. Tell them.

My contact in Denver says the shipment arrives a day after tomorrow.

You're off a day.

Tell them the rest.

The boys figure I was wrong about you.

They figure I owe you an apology.

Sorry, Foxy, but on a job this big, we gotta be sure.

Oh, there's no need to apologize. That's the way I want it.

Can't afford to have any slip -ups.

Your plan goes into action day after tomorrow.

Good, good.

Is your contact satisfied that I'm the real Foxy Smith?

He's working on it.

I hear that Foxy Smith is the best trickshot in the business.

Let's go back to the hotel and find out.

Well, I haven't had to handle a gun lately.

Probably pretty rusty.

We'll find out. Come on.

Light the candle, Willie.

Mr. Smith is going to show us the trick that made him famous.

Oh, not now, Younger. I'm not in the mood.

Come on, friend.

We've all heard about it.

You'd like to see it, wouldn't you, Billy?

Yeah.

Any man who can lie on his back and shoot out a candle while looking in a

must be pretty good.

What? Now, wait a minute.

I realize that all you guys have heard of my reputation with a gun, but I don't

do much of that anymore.

I've kind of outgrown it.

I leave that up to the guys who just want to look good.

You know, the showboats?

Now, when I pull a gun, I use it.

Hello. This time I brought my own.

Right.

You know, I like you.

I didn't think I would after some of the things I heard.

Like what?

Like the Laredo massacre.

Sam told me that he got there right after you and your men had left.

You know, Sam's done lots of killing.

Claims he never saw anything like that.

Laredo, huh?

Kid stuff.

You ever hear of the Folsom River?

No.

Well, ever since that day, they call it the Red River.

Bloody, huh?

Well, you must have had good reason.

I don't need a reason to kill.

You got nerve.

I like that.

If you had any sense, you would take a drink and get out of here.

You don't scare me.

You talk big.

I'll bet you don't really go in for this business.

I don't know anything else.

You're young.

Not too late to change.

And do what? Be a school mom?

That'd be a laugh.

It's going to be rough tomorrow.

Why don't you wait here and see how they make out?

We make out.

I'm not built that way.

Nobody's complaining about the way you're built.

Look, some women can play it soft, not me.

I'll ride in with the others.

But tonight...

We've

got a lot to do tomorrow.

We shouldn't be here.

You know what to do.

Sam Bass and the James boys.

You'll be riding in together.

The James boys will hold up at the springs. You go on alone.

Got it?

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

Do I have to dress like this?

Why can't one of the others be the banker?

It's too late.

Most of the boys have already left. Now get going.

Allison Thompson.

You'll pair off and take the southern road in.

Billy.

You'll be traveling as Black Bart.

I'm depending on you to keep a cool head.

You'll see, Mr. Smith.

You'll be proud of me.

Oh, and Billy, keep your eye on Bart.

Don't say anything to get him riled.

Right.

You've got your assignment, Younger.

What's holding you up?

I'm waiting for Belle.

I'm ready.

Maybe I wouldn't have made such a bad school mom after all, huh?

What does that suppose to mean?

You're wasting time.

Saddle up and get going.

Take care of yourself.

You too.

Come on, Belle.

You remember.

She's a lady.

You keep her out of danger until the shooting's over.

The others may buy your story, friend, but I still got a feeling you're a fake.

Relax, younger.

I'm gonna make you rich.

Maverick, you did it.

You finally did it. I can't believe it.

Yeah, but we're not quite through yet, Willie.

There's one more little step.

Denver City Marshal, Denver, Colorado.

Reward requested on a dozen Desperados, all top names.

Their plan to infiltrate and take over Denver Mint will go into effect shortly

after you receive this telegram.

Will arrive Denver myself shortly after Brett Maverick, bounty hunter.

That comfort?

It sounds fine.

Let's send it and get out of here.

Say, would you send this right away, please? Morton.

What a business.

Everybody's always in a rush.

You'd think it was a matter of life and death.

Send it, will you?

Just a few days ago, I'd left this town a bashful, barefoot boy with nothing but

a diamond stick pin.

Today, I was back to collect a fortune.

I was beginning to get used to being called Foxy, too.

Matter of fact, I was beginning to like it.

Foxy.

Belle, what are you doing here?

I gotta talk to you. Come with me. Quick.

Don't you cry, honey.

You two kids really love each other. You've got nothing to be scared of.

Lady, do you mind if we like to be alone?

I know just what you mean.

I ran off and got married when I was younger than her.

Lady, please.

Don't worry. I'm not going to try and stop you.

I know what you need.

I'll get you a drink.

Now, Belle, what happened? They were waiting.

Marshall, every deputy in the territory.

Right there at the mint.

Billy lost his head and he started to shoot.

It was terrible.

What went wrong?

Somebody tipped the law.

Who, do they know?

Cole said it was you.

But you wouldn't do a thing like that, would you? You know me better than that.

Did Younger get away?

Dead?

I'm sorry, Bill.

Some of the others got away, though. They'll be gunning for you. For me, too.

They think we're in this together.

Foxy, I'm scared.

For the first time in my life, I'm really scared.

Here you are, honey.

You just drink it down.

You should feel a lot better.

Lady, would you do me a favor and go away?

You're all a bunch of wise guys when you're young. You just never learn.

You're going to be all right, honey.

Bill, you'd better get a hold of yourself.

What'll I do? Where'll I go?

You wait here.

I'll go call on the Marshal.

The Marshal? What do you want with him?

My revenge.

You can't go up against them alone. They'll kill you, too.

I work with my brains, remember?

I've got to find out who turned us in. It's the only way I can get off the hook

with the others.

Take me with you.

Oh, no.

Oh, Foxy, please.

Look, the law doesn't want me.

If you leave me, the others will get me. I know it.

Please take me with you.

All right.

But when I talk to the Marshal, I talk to him alone, right?

Is the Marshal inside?

Nice work, Bell.

Right on time.

This way, friend.

Well, Mr. Maverick, come in.

You seem surprised to see me.

I kind of thought you were in jail.

Well, like they say, they can't keep Foxy boxed in very long. The boys tell

you give a very convincing impersonation of me.

Well, it wasn't bad while it lasted. Not bad. It was an inspiration.

I never could have thought of anything so brilliant or bold.

My plan was nothing compared to yours.

You're too modest.

It worked like a charm.

The boys moved in as per your instructions and put the personnel on

we're finished here.

Small world, isn't it? If I hadn't met Billy this morning, I'd never have

Billy gets around.

Then, too, Mr. Younger had the good judgment to intercept your telegram to

authorities.

Mr. Younger gets around pretty good himself.

By the way, if you're going to impersonate me again, I'd better show

favorite trick shot.

Is it absolutely necessary?

Mr. Younger, would you assist me please?

Nice shop.

You change.

Thanks. I won't keep you. I've got things to attend to, and I know the boys

plans for you.

I'm sure they have.

Oh, by the way, I believe I owe you this.

Thanks. Thanks a lot.

And this, too.

Yeah, and it's going to get a lot rubber. Get him out of here.

Just a minute.

You won't need this anymore.

Your luck's run out.

Why aren't you out there where the money is, Billy?

I guess Foxy and Younger call the shots, huh?

They're tricky, kid.

They won't try anything with Jesse or the Dalton boys, but with you, it's

different.

Don't let them leave you holding the bag, kid.

Get lost, Billy.

I want a word with our friend the bounty hunter.

Get lost.

Foxy says I stay.

I say you blow. Now get going.

Everybody gives me orders.

Just because I'm younger than the rest.

You got a right to hate me.

Do you?

No, no, Val.

You did what you had to do.

If you ever want to change your line of work, try the stage. You're a good

actress.

I was pretty good at that, wasn't I?

Those ropes cutting you?

Are you thinking about loosening them?

Maybe we better leave them right there.

They'll be loaded soon. You'll be pulling out, huh?

Yeah.

What do you figure they're going to do with me?

Yeah, that's what I figure.

You mind if I have a smoke? In the pocket.

No blindfold, just a cigar.

I got lousy luck, you know that?

Every time I meet a man, I could go for something rotten happens.

Why couldn't you have been legit?

Like the rest of us?

I was raised in a rich neighborhood. Too many advantages, I guess.

Anyway, it's too late now.

I'm sorry it's got to end this way.

Me too.

Goodbye, Belle.

Ain't she the youngest girl?

How come she's kissing you like that?

Well, we're friends, Billy.

She's a very friendly girl.

Come on, Billy. Let's go. Let's go.

Foxy told me to stay here till they clear it out and then take care of him.

Well, he told me that, too, but I don't like it. How come it's gotta be you and

me? That's a good question. You ought to think about that, Billy.

Shut up.

Well, why couldn't it have been a couple of the big boys, like, well, Dalton or

James? He said we'd catch up with them at the Springs later. We'd cut up the

take then.

Suppose they don't show up.

Yeah, suppose they don't show up.

Wise up, kid.

They're big time. What do they need you for?

You heard me now. Shut up!

All right, we're ready to go. You men have your instructions.

I got them, but I don't like them.

Why can't you stay? Or one of the others?

Why is it going to be Billy or me?

I told you why. We'll join up later.

How do they know you'll show up?

What's that?

How do we know you'll show? You have my word for it. That's not good enough.

Sam and me are going out with a loot.

Do your own dirty work for a change.

That's telling them, Billy.

You heard me. Shut up!

Can't you see what he's trying to do? He wants to get you all steamed up over

nothing. Let's go, Smith.

Not so fast, young 'un.

You ain't going nowhere without Sam and me.

Put that away, Billy. Quit giving me orders!

I'm sick and tired of taking orders, do you understand?

Get smart, kid.

That's enough here for all of us.

What do you think?

The kid lost his head. Let's get out of here.

Not now, kid. We'll get him later. Come on, let's go with the money.

It's the same shape he was in the last time we met.

Is he still alive?

Any more around?

Just the people who work here.

Mr. Smith said he put them on ice. Where?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Do you mind?

Who are you?

Brett Maverick. You met me the other night, remember?

You went on this?

I was trying to break it up.

You know what it's all about?

Yeah, but I'll tell you about that later.

You ought to try catching up with the others.

The posse's after them. They'll bring them in.

Marshal, if they do, you'll be the most famous law enforcement officer in the

history of the West.

I'll have the boys come over and pick up our friend Mr.

Smith later.

Let's go.

You know, Marshal, I don't trust you to find Foxy there. No, I think we ought to

take him along with us.

Well, he ain't going no place. I got the cuffs on him.

Oh, that's right. I almost forgot. Well, it's all right then. Sure, everything's

all right.

This time I'm going to have Mr.

Smith for a nice long visit.

Look at all that money.

Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it?

You know, you sure got to hand it to the fellow that figured out this caper.

Took plenty of brains and real courage.

Yeah, he must have been quite a guy.

You know, when we get this all squared away, you and me got to sit down and

a nice long visit.

Sure thing, Marshal.

I'll see you down at your office.

Oh, wait a minute.

See, don't you think I better send one of my men along with you?

Because I sure wouldn't want to miss one word of that long story you've got to

tell. Oh, I don't think that'd be necessary, Marshal.

You're going to find it interesting, though.

Oh, son.

Yeah?

You won't need that.

Oh, that?

No, of course not.

So long, Marshal.

Marshall.

So long.

Smooth as a handle on a gun.

Maverick is the name.

Wild as a wind in Oregon.

Blowing up a canyon.

Easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell.

Fare thee well, Annabelle.

Luck is a lady that he loves the best.

NASA to New Orleans.

Living on Jackson, Queens.

Maverick is a legend of the West.

River, well, ring your bell.

Farewell, Annabelle.

Luck is a lady that he loves the best.

That's to New Orleans, living on Jackson, Queens.

Maverick is a legend of the West.
