Jerry. Get on your feet, you cowardly
crook.

Cowardly, yes, but not a crook.

Are you going to get on your feet or do
I have to stomp you where you lie?

If you have to kill me, kill me. But I
repeat, I am not a crook. Well, what do

they call it where you come from then?

Will you listen to me for five minutes?

I will not.

Five minutes? Then you can beat me to
death and I won't lift a finger.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Your first trip through New Mexico, Mr.
Maverick? My very first.

Find the local customs pretty strange
sometimes, I expect.

Sometimes? A strange country.

Take the distances out here, for
instance.

The air is so clear that... Oh, never
mind.

You wouldn't believe it. Believe what,
Mr. Crippen? How deceptive distances can

be.

Those hills over there?

Look about ten miles off.

They're a day's ride.

Or take Desert Springs. We're about ten
miles from there. It's twenty minutes to

twelve.

Mr. Maverick, would you believe we'll be
there before noon?

You can't be serious.

Serious enough to bet money on it.

You must be joking.

It'll take us a good hour at least.

Not at all, sir. In fact, I'd give odds
of two to one.

Odds? You'd give me odds?

After all, I know the country.

And you don't. I have a spread of a few
acres of Houston's wells.

Now, let's get this straight, Mr.
Kribble.

These horses, this stagecoach, this rate
of speed, 10 miles in 20 minutes?

And you say we'll be there before noon?

The air can't be that clear.

Two to one.

A hundred dollars to 50? Say, a thousand
dollars to 500.

12 .30 exactly.

I'll trouble you for your money, Mr.
Cropper.

Could I trouble you for the right time,
sir?

I make it 11 .31 exactly, sir.

town can't be in on this.

You ever hear of time zones?

Of course I've heard of time zones, but
this isn't... It is.

30 miles back, we gained an hour, so
we're here before noon.

Pay me, boy, 500 to the best.

By Jove, it's General Warren, isn't it?
And, Miss Warren, what brings you to Mr.

Griffin?

think of something.

I have to.

Uncle Bo used to say a maverick
outwitted is still worth two ordinary

Mr.

Maverick, sir.

Will you be with us long?

Well, that depends.

Maverick!

The Saints, if it isn't Beauregard. How
are you? Hey, O 'Brien, I haven't seen

you. I thought you were in Dallas. What
are you doing here? Just leaving.

I wish... We still got time for a drink.

Telegram for you, Mr. O 'Brien.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that's not good.

That's not good at all. Bad news?

$3 ,000.

That isn't good.

Do you have a bank here?

The sheriff has a safe, but he's out of
town until Wednesday.

I need that drink.

I have to be in Santa Fe tomorrow at
nine.

And I just got word a fellow there has
got a judgment against me, which means

can take every cent I've got. And
legally.

That's the worst way.

The trouble is, this isn't mine.

And if I was to lose it... Oh, of
course.

I could hold it and then give it to the
sheriff for you.

But I don't trust you, Bo.

Jerry, look at it this way. With me, you
have a fighting chance.

Santa Fe coach is leaving.

It's safe.

Well, now, just the same.

Today, stay with the solid citizens.

People like, well, like General Warren.

General?

Retired. There's a big piece in the
paper about him today.

Read for yourself.

All aboard.

Bo.

Don't worry, it's as safe as the second
bank of Tallahassee.

General Josiah Warren, Chairman of the
Board, Pacific and Western Railroad,

arrived in Dillard Springs.

It is believed the Pacific and Western
may be considering a new line through

territory.

Mr. Maverick, I looked in the register.

My name's Warren.

General Warren?

I looked in the newspaper.

It's a pleasure.

I just wanted you to know that any enemy
of John Crippen is a friend of mine.

He got to you too, huh?

Some old friends of mine.

I've no excuse.

I should have known he had a sure thing.

Oh, never mind.

I have every confidence that you'll turn
the tables on him.

You have?

I know your family well.

You do?

By reputation, of course.

Well, I'll try to live up to it.

Oh,

I'm sorry.

Roseanne, Mr. Maverick. It's my
granddaughter, sir.

Pleasure, Miss Warren.

Well, good day to you, sir.

We're going for a drive in the country.
I have some business near Clay Flats.

Oh, oh. My granddaughter wants to know
if you would care to accompany us.

Tell your granddaughter, sir. I should
be delighted.

Desolate country.

What did you say it was worth?

Not much, but quite a bit if the
railroad's going through here.

Oh, pretty sharp, aren't you?

As a matter of fact, it's not.

Too much grade.

Ah, that's more like it.

Good level ground all the way from
Houston's Wells to the mountains.

Houston's Wells?

That's right, my boy.

Houston's Wells.

Drippen? I'd like a few words with you.

What about?

Time zones?

No.

Yesterday on the stage you mentioned
some property. What was it called?

Houston's Wells. What about it?

Are you interested in selling?

No. It's worthless, you know.

I know it. You know it. General Warren
doesn't. I gave him an option on it

today.

Crippen, it may interest you to know
that the general is going to run his

railroad right across that land.

Time zones, eh?

You've been ahead of me all afternoon,
General.

Hmm?

Oh, Houston's Wells.

I thought I saw you prick up your ears
when I mentioned it.

I'm a little disappointed.

I was hoping to get rich, and even.

Oh, don't begrudge me, my boy.

I have a bit of revenge coming, too, you
know.

Trippin thinks he's cheated me out of me
eye teeth.

Not anymore, he doesn't. If you'll
pardon me.

I want that option back.

It's iron -bound, Crippen.

How about a bonus? Say 500.

A thousand?

Not a chance.

All right. You've got just 24 hours to
come up with the rest of the money. In

cash. Understand? 3 ,000 cash.

You'll get it. Good night, Mr. Crippen.

Sleep well!

Do you carry that much cash?

Certainly not. Too risky.

I hate to tell you this, but there isn't
a bank in town.

Oh, no.

Well, I'll just wire New York then.

General, tomorrow is Sunday.

It can't be.

Oh, what am I to do, my boy?

If that scoundrel has outwitted me,
I'll... I could raise the cash myself.

My boy, you've saved an old man's life.

It wouldn't be a loan.

I want the land.

The land is not for sale.

No land, no cash.

Oh, my boy.

You wouldn't want to cheat a poor old
man out of his hard -earned revenge,

you?

I want half the land at least.

Half?

That's better than creeping.

Be back in half an hour.

Thank you.

Chairman of the Board Pacific and
Western Railroad, verified as General

Warren, traveling in west.

You drive a hard bargain, Mr. Maverick.
You flatter me, sir.

Well, good night, gentlemen.

Good night, my boy.

See you at breakfast.

Good night.

Roseanne!

Next time it's 50 -50 or deal me out.

I should be delighted.

Good morning. Good morning, sir.

Have you seen General Warren?

They checked out last night, sir.

Checked out? Yes, sir. Where did they
go?

I believe Mr. Crippen mentioned
Albuquerque.

Mr. Crippen?

Yes, sir. They left together?

Something wrong, sir?

Oh, no.

Thank you.

General Josiah Warren described as six
feet one.

Age 45, hair dark, eyes blue, clean
-shaven.

You're sure they said Albuquerque?

Yes, sir. They mentioned it twice.

Twice, did they?

One of the stages left last night. Just
one, sir. For Silver City.

Make up my bill. I'm checking out.

For Albuquerque?

No, Silver City.

Shall we complete our transaction?

By all means, General. By all means. Why
wait to become millionaires, eh?

There we are, sir. Thank you, sir. Mrs.
Hale.

Thank you, General.

I'll never forget this.

That scoundrel Crippen won't either.

Oh. You know, the most beautiful part is
that Crippen believes that he's stuck

us with a worthless piece of land.

Good night, General.

Good night, Mr. White. Thank you.

Thank you. Mrs. Hale, thank you. Your
friends, an evening like this does my

heart good.

Well,

good night. Good night.

Mind if I join you?

Mr. Maverick, are you sure you'll...
General, I want to make you an offer.

If you can spare a moment.

How much more land do you hold around
Houston's wells?

You want more land?

All you can spare.

Why?

Just say I like the desert.

Well, I should look into that.

Mr. Griffin can join us. I think we all
understand each other.

Oh, come in, come in.

Mr. Maverick wants more land.

How much do you have left?

About hours and acres.

I'll take it. I'm a little short just
now, but I can give you 500 for an

You're a very smart man, Mr. Maverick.
We'll be glad... Just a moment.

How long an option?

I expect to raise some capital within
the next week.

I could promise you 10 ,000 for the
whole block of land.

Would you pardon us for just a moment?

Mr. Maverick, we feel that it's always a
mistake to rush into things too

quickly.

Are you staying overnight?

I'll stay till we settle this.

Delighted, my boy, delighted.

General, won't you sit here?

Oh, thank you.

Mr. Crippen? Thank you, sir.

Well, I trust that you have decided to
accept my offer? Let's not beat around

the bush, Maverick. Three heads are
better than one. We've had such vast

experience in these matters.

We don't have to sell, you know. Oh, I
think you will.

Why don't you confide in us? May I? No.

General, that isn't brandy. Whiskey? No.

I'll buy you a drink downstairs.

I can tell you this much, gentlemen.

I looked at Houston's wells, and I liked
what I saw. Now I want the rest of the

valley. It's as simple as that.

But I must have a quick decision now,
shall we?

I think, Maverick, you're bluffing. You
want us to think it's valuable and buy

it back from him.

It is a possibility, isn't it?

We'll let you know tomorrow.

Well, it's past my bedtime, but one more
for my friends.

Good night, gentlemen.

Good night, General.

Don't you understand that oil is
expected to be one of the biggest

the country one day? I still don't like
it. It just goes against the grain.

Can't you two understand that this land
is worth a fortune?

We can all be millionaires.

I know, I know.

And all we have to do for the rest of
our lives is sit back and watch the

roll in.

But... But what?

Don't you want to be rich?

There's something about making money
like this that just rubs me the wrong

It's so, so... So what?

Legitimate. It's just no way to make a
living. What becomes of the joy of

preparation? The excitement of selecting
the sucker. The tension as he smells

the trap.

The gratification as you play him and
rail him in.

And that supreme moment when you close
the trap and you hold the money in your

hand.

What becomes of all that?

Ask your friends in jail.

Oh, the child's right.

I'm not getting any younger.

And it would be very comforting in my
autumnal years to have a fixed

income and be able to relax and take it
easy.

I suppose so.

And we could always keep our hand in by
knocking over a live one when we got the

urge.

The last time you got the urge, the live
one knocked you over.

Jerry!

Get on your feet, you cowardly crook.

Cowardly, yes, but not a crook.

Are you going to get on your feet or do
I have to stomp you where you lie?

If you have to kill me, kill me. But I
repeat, I am not a crook. Well, what do

they call it where you come from then?

Will you listen to me for five minutes?

I will not.

Five minutes? Then you can beat me to
death and I won't lift a finger.

So they buy me out and we get our money
back.

It's as easy as that. They're 90 %
convinced right now.

Are you finished?

I tell you, they're ripe for the
slaughter. The money's as good as in

pocket. There's just one thing I need.

And what's that? Could you spare another
couple of thousand?

Why? I can flash the money in front of
their faces. They'll know I mean

business.

You can always kill me later. I swear I
won't let the money out of my hands.

May I try this one on?

Yes, indeed, Miss Warren.

Right this way, please.

Now, what can I do for you, madam?

Mr. Maverick.

I just found another can of that crude
oil in case you need it.

No, thanks. One was enough.

Gentlemen, this won't take a minute.

The money is starting to come in now. I
can offer you another 2 ,000 for the

option. Mr.

Maverick, we have a counter -proposal,
sir. How about our buying your land?

I'm afraid that's out of the question.

You couldn't pay what it's worth.

What is it worth?

I'd have to ask at least 8 ,000.

You're right. The price is too steep.

Grandpa?

Your option, Mr. Maverick.

The thousand acres are yours, Mr.
Maverick, for one week.

No.

I'll not dirty my hands on you.

Don't blame you. Here.

You sold me out, didn't you?

Go on, get it over with. No, answer me.
You sold me out. No, they just

outsmarted me.

Oh, Bo.

Please, put me out of my misery. I'm all
washed up. I couldn't outwit a kitten

anymore. Uncle Bo will disown me.

No, you're a maverick to the bone.
There's no end to your tricks.

No, this would be the easy way out.

I want my money back.

Get it the hard way.

Go to the law.

Me?

Go to the law?

The old man defrauded you, didn't he?

Amen.

General Josiah Warren?

That's right.

I got a warrant here for your arrest.

You must be joking, sir.

Mr. Maverick here claimed that you
obtained money from him under false

by means of impersonation and...

Misrepresentation.

Mr. Maverick.

Where is your sporting blood, sir?

Marshal. Oh, very well, very well, my
good man.

I'll just get my hat.

Well, off to jail, shall we?

What kind...

I want my money.

And there's nothing you wouldn't stoop
to, is there?

Poor Grandpa in that cold jail.

What about his rheumatism?

I can't blame him. Just leave everything
to me. I'll have poor Grandpa out of

there before... Oh, you lay off poor
Grandpa.

He can take care of himself.

Don't, don't cry, Roseanne.

Marshall!

Marshall!

When I call... Come and let my
granddaughter and Mr. Crippin out,

Anything you want, General.

Thank you.

What now? Look, General, just let me
take charge, will you?

You! I'm a very resourceful man if I get
half a chance.

You remember what happened last time you
took charge? Anybody can make a mistake

once. Once is enough. You can be wrong,
too. You're under arrest, not me.

All right.

Any ideas?

Uh, well...

I thought not.

I have.

And I think Mr. Maverick is going to be
very much surprised.

But why do I need a corroborating
witness?

It says here you've got to have one to
back up a complainant on a charge like

this. You see, your say -so alone ain't
enough.

That's in case you misunderstood or
remembered wrong.

But I can prove the real General Warren
is 30 years younger and a foot taller.

Yeah, but can you prove that he swindled
you by claiming to be that General

Warren?

Yes. He told me he was chairman of the
railroad.

Oh, sorry. You gotta have a witness,
mister.

Now, did he make the same claim to
anybody else?

Yes.

Yes, he did.

Well, Judge Stevens set the hearing for
three o 'clock tomorrow.

You better round up somebody fast.

No, Mr. Maverick.

Well, Mrs. Hale, it was an out -and -out
swindle.

I don't hold with an eye for an eye, Mr.
Maverick.

Suppose the general did make a little
mistake.

A little mistake?

He must have taken you for two or three
thousand dollars.

That's my affair.

Don't you want your money back?

No.

What's the matter with you?

Don't you know Christian charity when
you see it?

Mrs. Hale, you know you've been robbed.
You're not a rich woman and you don't

want your money back?

No.

But, Mrs.

Hale... I'm sorry. I'm not going to
oblige you, Mr. Maverick. I'm not going

appear against the general.

He's a fine old man. He's a fine old
swindler. Who have you been talking to?

Nobody. Don't you want your $3 ,000
back?

No. Justice?

Don't you even want to get even?

Find out as sure as my name's...
Maverick.

He's out -thought me right down the
line.

A man with your reputation being
outsmarted three times running. I don't

it. You sold me out, didn't you? No,
Wade.

There has to be a way out somewhere.

You're going to get it. Now, now,
listen. The only way to get the money is

convict the general, right?

Yeah. So we have to find out how he
silenced those witnesses.

That's where you come in.

Oh, no.

You'll have to. I have to stay out of
sight on this one.

What do you mean, another witness?

Do we miss one? No, this one just got
into town. Name's O 'Brien. Big fellow,

wide.

Claims we took him for 3 ,000 last
spring.

O 'Brien, O 'Brien.

Name's familiar.

Must be one of the Denver batch you
place him. He's going to testify though.

I doubt it I Doubt it very much

Mr.

Bryan

Mr. O 'Brien, it is you.

Miss Warren.

And who were you expecting?

It was Denver, wasn't it, where we met?

I remember you very well.

Well, do you now?

Oh, yes, you made quite an impression on
Grandpa.

I can certainly see why.

Well, he made quite an impression on me,
too.

Grandpa has a little problem.

Every once in a while, he does get into
trouble.

But when he heard you were in town, he
was just delighted.

He was?

He remembers you so well, and he speaks
of you so often.

My grandpa took a great liking to you.

Actually, if you want the truth, there's
only one thing he really regrets out of

this whole terrible mess.

He regrets that you had to lose your
money.

He does?

Mm -hmm.

But he wants to make sure you get it
back.

Now, he doesn't have anything like
enough money to repay everybody.

But he wants to repay you with interest
if he gets off.

Oh, huh.

But if he's convicted, well, he can't do
a thing to help you.

But if you don't testify, Mr. O 'Brien,
well, what shall I tell Grandpa?

Well, you...

Tell Grandpa that I'll think it over
very carefully.

So that's how he did it.

So simple.

So easy. I almost hate to see him lose.

You... What about my money?

Oh, don't worry. I'll speak to Wallace
and Mrs. Hale again. They'll testify,

right.

But not if the general gets to them
again.

Oh, I know.

I know.

There's only one safe way.

We'll have to keep them under lock and
key until the trial.

That's a three. We've got an hour and a
half.

Your room?

Yes. It's worth trying. You get them up
there. Oh, and Jerry, don't tell them a

thing until they're safely locked up.

Right.

This way, I can't lose.

I'll be going over to the hotel in a few
minutes. If you want me, I'll be in Mr.

Maverick's room.

Well, it's all set.

Bo, wake up. They'll be here any minute.

Well, I don't know. He just keeled over.
Is there a doctor in town? Maybe.

Maybe he had a little help.

He did.

Now, take it easy, Mr. O 'Brien.

Ah, ah, none of that.

There's no harm done.

I just wanted Mr. Maverick nice and
quiet while we had a little talk.

I got nothing to talk to you about.

Believe everything he says, don't you?

Hook, line, and sinker.

I thought so. He fooled us, too.

Took his split, and now he wants our
share.

What kind of deal does he have with you?

Deal? He offer you money?

Well, my own, if that's what you mean.
Ah, robbed you, too, did he?

Man doesn't know who to trust these
days.

You'll never see your money again, you
realize that.

Unless there's one chance for you.

You and I could make a deal. You keep
your mouth shut, and I'll see that

repaid in full.

How much you got coming?

Oh, three... $4 ,000.

That's a lot of money, $3 ,000. Four.

Is it a deal for four?

Well, why should I make a deal with you
when all I have to do is testify?

Sorry, friend, that just isn't enough to
pay all the creditors.

Tell you what.

I'll see that you get your 4 ,000 plus
10 % interest.

Talk's cheap.

Here's a thousand on account.

You get the rest on delivery.

Delivery of what?

Silence. Yours and his.

No, no. Wait a minute.

Mr. Madrick.

Oh, it's you.

Well, here we are.

I'm sorry, folks. Mr.

Madrick isn't here just now.

Isn't here?

No, he was called out of town on
business.

You said you had something important to
say.

Well, I guess we won't be needing you
now. Thank you very much.

You mean you called us over here just...
Well, of all the addle -headed,

irresponsible... Good day, sir.

Good day.

I'll not club him. Now, that's out.

Tell you what.

When he wakes up, the two of you have a
drink.

I guarantee you he'll give us no trouble
till morning.

Boy, I couldn't do that to him.

I just couldn't.

And even 2 ,000, Mr.

O 'Brien.

Half your money.

Now, if you really don't need it, of
course...

Oh, how can you put me in a spot like
this?

You'll get the rest after the trial.

If you drink with him, he won't suspect
a thing.

And don't mix up the glasses.

No.

Now, this hurts me worse than it does
you, my boy.

But you got me into this.

You're going to have to get me out.

What

happened?

Seating folded?

We were slugged.

Need you ask?

Well, the general's in jail.

Well, he's got friends.

Crippen?

You need a drink, I think.

Yeah.

Maybe I do.

Well?

I was thinking that maybe you shouldn't
be taking alcohol so soon after being

bashed on the head.

You should have talked to me first.

There wasn't time.

It'll go wrong somehow.

I know it. Every time you try to take
charge, it goes wrong. It can't. They'll

sleep like babies till this time
tomorrow afternoon. They won't even know

take the money back.

It sounds good, but somehow it won't
work.

The witnesses, Jerry, the witnesses.
That's why he slugged us.

Well, never mind about the witnesses. We
got an hour before the trial. Now, are

you going to drink that or aren't you?

But why would he walk off and leave us?

I don't get it.

You poor innocent.

I... I couldn't let you go through with
it.

I didn't think you could, Jerry. You
see, I came to a little sooner than you

thought back there.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get
moving.

Stop worrying, will you? At three,
they'll turn you loose. They'll have to.

complaints, no... Relax,

John. I must say I'm rather relieved.

I thought for a while there that you'd
broken a long, long record, but you have

done it again.

Badly, badly, you've done it again.

40 minutes.

I think I'd better have a talk with the
judge.

Roseanne, do you think that you could
get him to come here?

But you were going to cheat me. You
didn't say one word when that hussy...

offered you the same deal. Did you warn
me?

If I live to be a thousand, I'll never
forget...

Well, Marshal, we're ready to see the
judge.

The general.

Just wait till I get my hands on that
man. You and me both.

You wait here. But I'm the complainant.
And I'm the marshal.

The judge wants to interview the
witnesses first, alone.

I have a right to be present.

If you want to be held in contempt of
court, you can just wait here.

You, you the complainant, young man?

Yes, your honor.

You run a happy courtroom, sir.

Steady or not.

Mr. Maverick, you'll be very glad to
know that we have settled everything.

Very simply.

And we are saving the territory the cost
of a trial.

Go on.

I am returning everyone's money and
reclaiming the land.

Judge, I have not withdrawn the charges.
I have witnesses here.

Now let me see.

Mrs. Hale, how much do I owe you?

$2 ,000.

This is a real pleasure, madam, all the
way around. You get your money.

Your honor.

And I get the land.

The deed.

I have every confidence in this land.

I am very happy to get it back.

Mr. Wallace, $3 ,000, I believe.

Please mr.

Wallace don't disappoint me.

No general you keep the money.

I'll keep the land Mr.

Maverick, I know that you won't
disappoint an old man

Houston Wells is yours.

Here, Judge.

I want my land back.

Oh, Mrs. Hale, please. You're doing a
very bad thing.

Judge?

Oh, as you wish, madam.

Your Honor, just out of curiosity...

What is the law on this? Returning the
money doesn't change the fact that he's

swindled. Now, let's not quibble, Mr.
Maverick.

Now, Your Honor, what about you?

You want your $5 ,000 back?

No, indeed, sir. I believe in you,
General.

Thank you.

It's not me.

I have a message for you.

Grandpa doesn't want you to feel too bad
about what happened.

He always told me you can't take credit
for what comes naturally.

It's a gift.

Bread and the bone.

Grandpa got it from his mother's side of
the family.
