There's somebody in here.

Whoever you are, drop your gun. Come out.

We just came in to see about a house mortgage.

A Warner Brothers television production.

I'll call.

Ten cents?

That's too steep for me.

Well, you must have a pretty good hand, Junior. Just tolerable.

If they'd have been aces, I might have raised you a nickel.

You win, Junior.

You're a real sport.

I warn you, Junior, I'm going to open the next hand for a dime.

Did I hear you say ten cents?

Now, Brett Maverick, last time we met was in St.

Louis, wasn't it?

You want to watch this sort of thing, Brett, don't get in over your head.

Just killing time, Tamlin.

On my way out of Denver, my horse stepped in a gopher hole and got a bit

Denver, eh? That's where I'm heading.

You want to sit in a hand or two with a stranger?

Oh, no thanks. I'll leave these high -powered games up to my old friend

here.

Mr. Maverick?

Your horse is coming along pretty good.

But you ain't going to be able to make it to Kansas City for a bit yet.

You mean she's not well enough to saddle up?

Well, if you're just going as far back as Denver, I'd say yes. But all the way

to Kansas City, I don't know. I'd wait another day or two if it was you.

This lad knows horses, Mr. Maverick. I'd take his advice.

Wait a day or so.

Sure, then we can get in an extra evening or two of poker.

Oh, great.

Maybe I can help you out, Maverick, old buddy.

If you're in a hurry, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll trade you horses.

What's the catch?

There's no catch.

I saw your horse over at the livery stable. It's a good animal.

You want to get to Kansas City? I just want to get to Denver.

Just a kind offer? Take it or leave it.

He does have a nice horse, Mr. Maverick. I saw him out in front.

He wouldn't be getting jipped.

Tamlin, I never knew you to do anything that there wasn't something in it for

you.

But I want to get out of this town and on to Kansas City.

So I'll take a chance.

If you're on the up and up, I'll buy you dinner the next time I see you. You

won't regret it, Maverick.

Okay, boy, throw a saddle on Mr. Maverick's horse. I want to make gender

morning.

Good luck, old friend.

Are you Mr. Maverick?

That's him over there.

Safe journey.

I got a wire for you from Denver, Mr. Maverick. We've been looking for you in

every town halfway to Kansas City.

I'm afraid I can't read your writing.

Well, I did scribble it in a hurry. Let me read it for you.

I'll forget I ordered you...

to stay out of Denver if you'll be back in my office at 2 o 'clock next Monday.

Against my better judgment, Marshal K .K. Radcliffe for Denver, Colorado.

You have a brush with the law in Denver, Mr. Maverick? Oh, just a

misunderstanding, that's all.

Tomorrow's Monday.

If you're gonna leave, you're gonna have to leave pretty quick now.

Gee, we won't get to play no more poker.

I'll try to bear up. There goes your pal Tamblyn.

Oh, well, uh... Make you trade back when I get to Denver.

Sheriff Benson here?

Sheriff Benson?

He ain't been in here.

Well, then what's his horse doing tied up in front of your store?

Who does this animal belong to?

Like I just said, the sheriff.

What's the matter, mister?

Even taken with a spell?

No, just taken.

In spite of my horse -thieving friend, I managed to make Denver on time.

I didn't exactly travel in style, but I got there.

Got me here by 2 o 'clock.

I guess my $20 .20 wasn't wasted after all.

It's all right, Maverick. Come on in. I'm a man of my word.

Well, you can't blame me for being cautious, Marshal.

Just three days ago, you told me if I ever showed up in Denver again, you'd

me up.

Maverick, I'm a lawman.

I'm just doing my job.

Now, if you imagine I'd get any personal pleasure out of seeing you in jail,

you'd be absolutely right.

I guess I'm just not your type, Marshal.

Well, in all honesty, I found out you were telling the truth. Those marked

weren't yours.

Well, of course not.

But you didn't ask me to come here. Oh, meet Colonel Dutton. This is Brett

Maverick. Hi, Colonel. Colonel Dutton here is president of the Denver State

Bank. I'll get right to the point, Mr. Maverick.

We need you to help locate a gambler. And quick.

What does he look like? We don't know that. What's his name? We don't know

either. I don't get it.

You want me to find someone, a gambler, and you don't know a thing about him.

Not even what he looks like. If you'll stop interrupting me, Mr. Maverick, and

let me explain.

Please do.

We have reliable information from New York that an expert safecracker has come

wet. He's successfully broken into several eastern banks. Never been

And he seems to specialize in bank vaults like the one we have at the

State Bank.

Now you're talking about a safecracker. A minute ago, you were talking about a

gambler. Now, please let me finish, Mr. Maverick.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency in New York has been working on these robberies

back there, and all they've been able to find out about this safecracker is that

he's a gambler.

He plays poker, I believe.

And he likes to live in swank hotels.

He must not be a very good poker player if he has to rob banks.

I wouldn't know.

Oh, yes, there's one other thing.

He has two companions in his nefarious activities.

And, of course, you don't know what their names are or what they look like.

Now, it's my idea, Maverick, that if you hang around the hotel poker tables, you

might spot some suspicious gambler who's a stranger in Denver.

You know most of the regular players, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to

spot the man we're after, if he's in Denver.

And if I find him?

Come and tell me.

I'll have a couple of deputies follow his every move.

Yes, sir, like I always say, it takes a thief to catch a thief.

Well, I don't like the way you put that, Marshal.

Oh, no offense, Maverick, it's just an expression.

Maybe I should have said birds of a feather flock together.

Well, I don't like that any better.

Takes one to know one?

Look, Marshal.

A few days ago, you ran me out of town for something I didn't do. Now you asked

me to come back and do some detective work that you can't handle. Now you

me.

Good day, gentlemen.

Hey, Maverick.

You understand I'm prepared to pay all of your expenses and a thousand dollar

bonus if you find this safe cracker?

Colonel Dutton, I like your choice of words a little better than I do the

Marshal. You understand the problem?

Oh, I think so.

You want me to check into the Denver house?

Rove around the poker tables and see if I can find any stranger who might be

your eastern safe -cracking friend.

It's very important that we locate this criminal before he has a chance to break

into the vault of my bank.

I'm very proud of the fact that the Denver State Bank has never had a dollar

stolen from it in its entire history.

Now, I imagine he could be a pretty tough hombre, so don't you go getting

yourself.

I'll try to remember that, Marshal.

Four Square Farley.

What are you doing here?

Why, having a drink.

No, I mean here in Denver the last time I saw you was in Texas.

Well, that was six years ago.

Something for you, sir?

No, thank you.

How have you been?

You look as if the world was treating you well.

Well, the more they treat me, the better I like it.

How's the barbering business?

Oh, I'm not a barber any longer. I gave that up a long time ago.

Then I became a carpenter, but I gave that up, too, and became a bricklayer.

Well, you're dressed considerably better than most bricklayers I've known. I'm

not a bricklayer any longer, Brett.

I'm a gambler, like you.

You've become what?

A gambler.

I specialize in dealing blackjack.

You? A blackjack dealer? I run my own game, Brett.

Doing rather well, too.

You must have been pretty lucky.

Best way I know to lose your shirt is with blackjack.

One little run of bad luck and you lose your whole stake.

That is true.

And I've had my runs of bad luck.

But you see, I can't be wiped out.

I have an unlimited stake behind me. All the money I need.

Sooner or later, I start winning again and I pay back my losses.

You have a financial backer with unlimited funds for blackjack?

Something like that.

Well, you got a good thing going.

And if anybody deserves a break, you do.

You're always trying to do something for somebody else.

Oh, I just try to get along, Brett.

I'm mad at nobody.

Can I buy you a drink?

Not like that one.

There is something you might be able to tell me. All right, what?

Well, I'm looking for a man.

He's a gambler. Since you were in the business, I thought you might have seen

him. Maybe I have.

What does he look like?

Well, nobody seems to know.

He's a stranger around here.

He's not one of the regular gamblers.

Actually, he's not a gambler at all. He's a safecracker.

Marshall seems to think he's going to take a crack at the vault in the Denver

State Bank.

I thought that maybe if you saw a strange player around...

Four Square.

What happened?

I don't know. He must have fainted.

I hope it's nothing serious. He's a nice guy.

Yeah.

He's a friend of mine. Do you know where he lives?

Well, I played blackjack at his house a couple of times. Want I should give you

a hand packing them home? It isn't far.

Thank you.

There we go.

I hope his door isn't locked.

If I remember four square, it won't be. He trusts everybody.

Quite a place, huh?

Yeah.

So this is where he holds his blackjack games, huh?

He must have been mighty lucky.

He spent a lot of money on furnishing.

I was there one night when a San Francisco chap had a real run of luck.

about $20 ,000 from Foursquare.

Really?

$20 ,000 a break, most blackjack tables.

Come on.

Let's get him to bed.

No, no, no. Just hold still.

Looks like he's gonna be all right.

If you can take care of him, I better get back to my job.

Oh, fine. Well, thank you for your help.

Here you go, Foursquare.

Somehow you don't mind doing things for a nice guy like Foursquare.

Good night. Good night.

Gee, I'm sorry, Brett. I... I didn't mean to...

pass out on you that way.

Must have been something I ate.

Well, it's more like something that I fed.

Hey, you passed out just about the time I told you about the, uh, faith cracker

we were trying to get. Here, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Hey, that's it, isn't it?

You worried about somebody robbing a bank?

Did... Did you ever borrow money from a bank, Brett?

Well, there was a time or two, but...

You forget.

You have to prove you don't need money to borrow money from a bank.

Well, I borrow money from a bank.

The one next door, the Denver State Bank.

To run your gambling table?

Oh, yes, as much as I like.

Well, now, I've never known you to lie, Foursquare, but you mean to tell me that

you have got the bank to give you unlimited backing for a gambling house?

What are you doing, blackmailing the president?

You know I wouldn't do that, Brett. That...

would be dishonest.

You remember I told you that I was a bricklayer?

Well, that was about two years ago, just after I bought this little house.

One of my first jobs was to rebuild the vault of the Denver State Bank.

That's right next door.

Yes. I was to put brick on all four walls of the vault, and the walls were

thick, too.

Five deep, as a matter of fact.

I did a good job.

Use plenty of mortar.

Except in one small spot where I put only one layer of

brick.

Any idea where you are, Brett?

Well, I have a pretty good idea.

We're in the vault of the Denver State Bank.

Right you are.

I've never bothered to count it, of course, but there must be a couple of

million dollars in here, give or take a thousand or two.

I keep records of what I borrow so I can keep my account straight.

You keep records of what you borrow?

Whenever you want money, you just come in and take it?

How much have you taken?

Oh, quite a bit, I guess.

But I paid it all back.

Right now, I don't owe the vault a dime.

I've even opened a savings account with the bank.

Well, it was the least I could do.

Foursquare, do you really realize what you're doing?

The way you go about it, the bank is actually paying you interest on their

money. And if you ever get caught, Methuselah himself wouldn't be able to

the sentence they're going to throw at you. Well, that's why I fainted when you

said there was a safe cracker around.

If he ever managed to break into the vault and steal the money, there'd be a

investigation. And my secret door would be found out for sure.

And me with it.

I think you're beginning to get the picture.

Please help me, Brett.

Your pappy and I were old friends.

Well...

All right.

But you've got a promise.

You'll break up your secret door.

Suppose some crook found out about that door. Your life wouldn't be worth a plug

nickel. Oh, and another thing.

You've got to give up your blackjack games.

It's only a matter of time until some card sharp shows up and cleans you out.

I wish I were the brave type.

You mean the dishonest type, don't you?

No, the brave type.

Come on, we better get out of here and see if we can find that safe cracker.

I think we found it.

We do now.

Well, it's going to take...

Whoever it is out there, some time to feel out the combination.

You know, if we hurry, we can take all the money out of here and put it in your

bedroom. When they come in, they'll find the place empty and leave.

Then we take the money and bring it back in.

Who'll be the wiser?

I mean, lads, this should be the richest hall yet.

Eh?

What in your lip?

The boss needs silence so he can hear the tumblers.

What do you mean, I need silence?

I could crack this safe with a hundred cannons around me.

How much do you suppose we'll get out of this one, boss?

It's a pretty rich bank, I understand.

Maybe a million.

Maybe more.

How about that?

Cool.

Hurry up, Foursquare. We haven't got much time.

Imagine those crooks trying to rob the bank.

Driscoll, get the bags ready. I've just about got it.

And should do it.

Fays to stick with big Ed, doesn't it, boys?

It's as empty as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

It's a trick of some kind.

Let's get out of here. Quiet down.

There's something wrong here.

But I don't think it's a trick.

What do you mean, Governor?

It's my belief that the Denver State Bank is broke.

They haven't got a dime.

Will that work for nothing?

No. Maybe not for nothing.

You got an idea?

I can't hear them talking anymore.

I think they've gone.

We'd better wait a while to make sure before we put the money back in the

Move over four square.

I want to see what it's like to rest on top of two million dollars.

Oh, Colonel, sir. Yes?

Mr. Murphy wants to see you. He's been waiting.

Murphy, Murphy. I don't know any Murphy.

Well, show him in. Yes, sir.

Mr. Murphy, Colonel.

Now, you're Colonel Dutton, president of the Denver State Bank.

Well, well, well.

I must say, you look honest enough.

Now, see here.

Tut, tut, Dutton.

You can come off your high horse now. I know all about it. You know all about

what?

Stop the sham, Colonel. I know that your bank is on the verge of bankruptcy.

But I don't think your depositors do.

Not yet, anyway.

My bank on the verge of bankruptcy? Are you crazy, man?

We're the soundest bank west of the Mississippi. We've got over two million

capital. Stop playing games, Colonel.

I've got some pretty reliable information that says that your bank

one red penny in the vault.

What did it do with the money, Colonel? Did you hide it away somewhere, huh?

Well, you must be about ready to take it on the lam.

Don't worry, Colonel.

Your secret is safe with me.

For a price, that is.

Say, um... $50 ,000?

If I were a younger man, I'd take you out in the street and whip you within an

inch of your life.

Best thing I can do now is to have you thrown out.

Throw this monster out of here.

And don't let him come back.

All right, Colonel. Throw me out.

But you just wait till I spread the word that your bank is broke.

You'll have an awful lot of explaining to do when you have a run on the bank.

You see, it happens that I know your vault is empty.

I can handle any amount of withdrawals, mister whoever you are.

But I don't want anybody to worry about their account.

Fred? George?

Let's take this man out.

Show him our vault.

Fred, has the vault been open yet this morning? No, sir. I was about to when

rang the emergency.

Does that look like an empty vault?

Knock it off.

You've had enough already.

Blimey, boss, I'm only calming me nerves.

You say the vault was full, boss. How could that be?

We were in there ourselves. It was bare as a baby.

I saw it just an hour ago. It was loaded with money. More than we thought we'd

find when we opened it.

So we're going to crack it again tonight.

It'll be easier now that I have the combination.

Now, I want you two at the bank.

Yeah, at 11 .30 tonight. In the meantime, don't do anything to attract

attention.

If you need me, I'll be playing poker at the Denver house.

Well, Mr. Murphy, your luck doesn't seem to be running very good tonight.

It'll get better.

Now, there's a new superstition.

You always do better along towards midnight.

That's my business, friend.

This deal.

Good. I'm sure that's the same voice I heard through your bedroom wall last

night.

Evening, gentlemen. I see you have an empty seat. Mind if I join in? I'm eager

to play a little poker.

Of course not. Sit down. Sit down.

My name is Fred Maverick. I'm in the horse trading business.

The name here is Morgan. Greg Morgan.

It's Austin Ball. And I'm Bob Reeves, sir.

Mostly retired.

But I dabble a bit in the...

important.

Murphy.

Glad to know you, Mr. Murphy.

You from the... Yeah.

Well, should we get on with the game?

Yeah, yeah. I'm eager for a night of poker.

No, wait a minute.

You better count me out.

I've got to meet a couple of... some friends.

you better count me out, too, gentlemen.

But I thought you were looking forward to a game of poker. Well, I wasn't

looking too hard.

He's our man, all right, Foursquare.

Heard him talking a little, I was sure of it.

Said he had to meet some friends.

I have a hunch that they're gonna have another crack at the bank, though.

Come on, now, Foursquare, don't faint.

We got things to do. Come on.

Open up.

Well, at least, if they're showing up tonight, we beat them here. Come on.

I know it's in there. I've seen it with my own eyes.

I see the combination was 16, 42, 35.

This will only take a second.

I wore myself out last night carrying this money back and forth. I don't know

whether I can go on. Well, you're going to have to. If we get caught, they'll

throw the book at us. I don't want to get you in trouble, Brett. I'll turn

myself into the marshal.

That way, maybe the court will be lenient with me. Yeah, you'll only get

years instead of 75.

Remember, Brett, stone walls do not a prison, mate.

Nor iron bars a cage.

And bricklaying the way you do it doesn't make a very good bank vault.

on.

42.

Brett!

I can't make it.

The safecracker has a combination. Now, you'll...

Have it open any second.

No, it won't.

You just keep at it. I'll make us some more time.

So Adam won't open.

I must have missed one of the numbers. Let him hold the lantern a little higher

this time.

All right.

Try it over here.

Sixteen.

We made it.

I can still hear them working on the combination.

To think, lad, we'll have our hands on millions in just a few minutes.

It can't be.

Empty.

I don't get it. That's the whole idea.

Something fishy going on here.

I saw the money.

Just this morning with my own eyes I saw it.

Well, it ain't here now, that's for sure.

Are you calling me a liar?

No, boss, of course not. Nobody makes a sucker out of Big Ed Murphy, you

understand? Nobody.

I'm going to get to the bottom of this. What are you going to do?

Me?

We?

We are going to stay right here in the vault until just before the bank opens

the morning.

Then we'll lock the vault door and watch from outside the back window.

That way we'll be able to tell who's bringing the money back and forth.

Uh -oh.

What's the matter, Brett?

Plenty.

They're going to stay in there until just before the bank opens in the

Oh, my, that means we can't put the money back.

What can we do?

Well, I got an idea.

If they're going to stay in there, we could sneak around the front of the bank

and go through the office and slam the vault door shut on them.

Yes, but, Brett, the money, even if we do lock those characters up, we can't

the money back with them in there.

Well, in a day or so, we'll find the money somewhere else.

It ought to be a good reward.

But Murphy will claim the vault was empty.

Well, number four square, who's going to believe them?

There's somebody in here.

Whoever you are, drop your gun and come out.

We just

came in to see about a house mortgage.

Well, my poker -playing friend, huh?

So you came in here to rob the bank?

Us? Rob the bank?

You were the one who was robbing the bank.

Well, no, that isn't the way it looked to me and my pals, eh, boys?

Yeah, right, boss.

Ooh, they're a mean -looking pair, ain't they? What are you gonna do, boss?

I'm gonna lock them in the vault. That's what I'm gonna do.

After all, they're bank robbers.

You should get a nice reward for their capture.

What about the money?

Well, I claim they emptied out the vault and came back for a final check.

But, boss, they'll claim that they found us in here and the vault was already

empty. Latimer, really?

Who'd believe them?

Okay, you two into the vault.

We're likely to smother.

Yes.

Well, now, what is that? Take that chance, won't we? Come on.

I'm going to stick right here.

Guard the vault until Dutton shows up. You two boys better take off.

It might look odd to the Marshal if he finds three of us here.

On your way.

Go on.

Hold it.

I got an idea.

Not another one. I don't think I can stand it.

Well, my last idea would have been all right if you hadn't been sensitive to

roses.

The first thing we got to do is put all this money back in the vault.

Oh, no.

But Big Ed's sitting right outside the vault.

Well, you heard him say himself that he was going to keep the vault door locked

until the bank opened and Colonel Dutton showed up. He can't very well steal the

money then, right?

And we can't very well let Colonel Dutton find the vault empty.

Now, can we?

You said yourself there'd be a big investigation. Your door would be

And you with it.

I guess so.

So, first things first.

Well, the other two aren't in there.

I can't see why you can't let well enough alone.

The money's back in the vault.

Big Ed Murphy will only look like a fool when he claims he's guarding an empty

vault with two robbers in it.

Yeah, and they'll turn him loose as a harmless crank.

What do you think he'll do then, Foursquare?

Leave town?

He'll do that all right, but not before he's collected his two pals and looked

us up.

Somehow I don't think that meeting would be very friendly.

Well, just because we bested them, do you really think they'd want to hurt us?

Hurt is probably the weakest word you could use. I think tear us limb from

would be more like it.

Why don't we just leave Denver now?

I haven't overlooked that possibility, believe me.

There's a certain fellow I want to look up.

One Terrence Tamblyn.

I want to have a talk with him about a horse trade.

Come on, let's look over there.

Hey, Dirk Foursquare, they're both in there. I still can't see why you can't

satisfied with things the way they are.

They're coming out now. You remember what I told you to do? Yes, but I don't

like it.

Come on.

Hello, what's that?

Blimey, it's him. The bloke what we locked up in the vault.

It can't be.

It's his ghost.

Watch him, Forster!

You think you can keep him under control for a few more minutes, Foursquare?

I'll be right back to get him.

We're lucky your house is close by.

It's all right.

Latimer's still out.

We wouldn't want him to spend the night alone now, would we? It would be very

inhospitable.

I have to close the door.

They're both coming, too, and I just don't have the heart to hit them again.

You know, I don't think I ever hit a man before in my life.

Well, that's a hard thing to do.

I rather enjoyed it.

Might as well pipe down.

You two are worth a good reward.

That door won't be open until the marshal is here to put the cuffs on you.

It happened on a summer's day.

You're curly hair, I spy.

How did you get in here?

What on earth are you doing here?

Waiting for Colonel Dutton, and if you touch that vault, I'll break your arm.

You have no right being here.

I'm going to get to Marshall. You just do that, Sonny, and the quicker the

better.

Oh, Colonel, sir.

That man, the one that was here yesterday, he's back.

He was in the bank when I got here, and the front door was unlocked.

I was just leaving to get to Marshall. That's a good lad.

Tell him we have a madman in here.

In the meantime, I'd better humor him. He, uh...

He might be dangerous.

Well, Colonel Dutton, you're here.

I've been waiting quite a while.

Since about midnight, to be exact. Of course, of course. You wanted to play

little game again, didn't you?

Oh, so you still think I'm cracked?

Well, you'll be barking up the other side of the tree when you find out

locked up in your vault.

Well, yesterday you thought it was empty. Now it has something in it?

Fine!

A surprise, I'll bet.

Let me guess.

Lollipops? Sugarplums?

Listen to you.

I'm no more crazy than you are.

I was walking by your excuse for a bank last night about midnight.

I looked in and I saw a couple of safecrackers.

Safecrackers?

Safecrackers had opened the door to your vault, so I sneaked in.

And the vault was absolutely empty.

Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha.

Empty, huh?

Hurry up and see what's detaining the marshals.

So now, now you claim it's empty, eh? Well, whatever you say, my friend. Of

course it's empty. I mean, no. No, it isn't. What I mean is that I slammed the

door shut on these two safe crackers, and they're in there now, both of them.

And I expect a fat reward for nabbing them. After all, I caught them red

-handed, didn't I? Right in the act. Of course, of course. You caught two men

robbing an empty vault.

So now you have them locked up in there, eh?

They weren't robbing an empty vault, you nincompoop. They had all... I've

already taken the money, and they probably came back for a final check

caught them. Now, can I drive some simple facts through that thick skull of

yours?

Well, well, what's this all about?

Nothing really, Marshal.

This gentleman seems to be a little mixed up.

He came in here yesterday morning and said he knew that my bank vault was

I opened it up for him, showed him it was full of money, and I had him thrown

out. Now, see here... All right, quiet, you.

Go on, Colonel.

Well, last night sometime he must have picked a lock on the front door and come

in. He was sitting here waiting for me when my teller opened up this morning.

Now, Marshall, let me explain.

He's got it all wrong.

I deserve a reward.

Oh, yes. Yes, he claims that he saw two men, safecrackers at work. And so he

came in and he slammed the vault door shut on them. He says that they're

in there now.

But, of course, like he said yesterday, he's still content that the bank vault

has no money in it.

Well, it does look like we've got a live one on our hands, doesn't it?

Now, listen, you, we've got enough problems around here without listening

your hallucinations.

Look, Marshal, that vault is empty, and there are two men in there.

There's a smooth -talking gambler and his sidekick.

Marshal, you don't suppose that maybe he is telling the truth?

Of course I'm telling the truth. All you have to do is open the vault and see

for yourselves.

All the money seems to be here.

All right, so there were two men in the vault.

But the vault certainly isn't empty.

Now, how do you explain... I'm going to take this poor

fellow where Doc Simmons is.

Come along now. All right, men.

You'll be all right.

That's it. I'm out there.

Well, we got you off the hook, Foursquare.

All credit to you, Brett.

I did feel sorry for Big Ed Murphy. He took it very hard.

Oh, he'll be all right after a few days and a few sedatives.

Do you think those other two will talk?

I mean about us being in the empty vault and getting out with Big Ed guarding

the door, knocking them out, and they wake up in the vault instead.

And all the money's been put back. Confusing, isn't it?

Would you believe it?

However... They can't hold those two very long.

After all, they didn't steal any money.

Big Ed, after he's rested up a few days, he's really gonna come gunning for us.

Well, what are we going to do?

Leave town.

Your pappy said that he who fights and runs away will live to fight another

Well, there's a small error there, Foursquare. What pappy said was, he who

fights and runs away lives to run away another day.

Mara, come here. Tamblyn.

What's all that about, Brett?

I thought for a minute you were going to hit him.

I came close.

A few nights ago, he talked me into trading horses.

And his animal turned out to be sick.

No, it turned out to be the sheriff's animal.

As I found out before I got caught. And it cost me $20 .20 to buy another old

nag to get me into Denver.

Well, you made him give back the $20 .20, didn't you?

Yep.

And, uh...

I also found out where my horse was, and I collected $2 ,000.

$2 ,000?

What for?

Well, Foursquare, I sort of rented your house to him, but only for two months.

Brett, you didn't tell him about the secret door into the bank vault, did

Now, I don't want to criticize your friend, but that Tamlin man didn't look

trustworthy to me.

Well, you're wrong about him being a friend of mine.

You're right about him being untrustworthy, and no, I didn't tell him

secret door.

But I will tell him.

In a year or so, after you've moved back into your house and bricked up the

door, then I'll tell him.

I just want to see the look on his face when I tell him that for two months he

lived in a house that had an unlocked door to the vault of the Denver State

Bank.

Who was the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Riding the trail to who knows where. Luck is his companion.

Campham is his game.

Smooth as a handle on a gun.

Maverick is the name.

Wild as the wind in Oregon.

Blowing up a canyon.

Easier to tame.

Riverboat, ring your bell.

Fare thee well, Annabelle.

Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Nice to see you, New Orleans.

Living on Jackson, Queens.

Maverick is a legend of the West.

River, I'll ring your bell.

Fare thee well, Annabelle.

Luck is the lady that he loves the best.

Nice to see you, New Orleans.
