Hello, Danielle.

Shh, shh.

Go away. Go quickly.

What's wrong?

Who is there, Danielle?

Who is there?

Oh, it's me, Count Bo Maverick.

What is all this?

Silence. You will have your time to speak.

It is a real brazen thief you are.

Coming back to the scene of the crime? Where is it? Will you let go of my arm

and tell me what's going on?

Get his gun, Colt.

You may release him now.

Now, what's this all about?

What have you done with the Kashmir?

A Warner Brothers television production.

Daniel?

Daniel?

Un moment, papa.

Charmant, ma chérie. L 'image de votre mère.

Je vous remercie, noble seigneur.

Le cachemire.

Oh, je préfère les perles ce soir, papa.

Diamants ou perles.

Vous êtes ravissante.

Merci, papa.

Good evening, Condoleezza. Daniel?

Mr. Maverick, another accidental meeting at the foot of the stairs?

Oh, Papa. I thought you'd like to know there's a lot of activity in the game

room tonight, sir. How very considerate of you.

And now I imagine you will add to your consideration by offering to entertain

daughter while I busy myself at the tables.

It had entered my mind.

There's a concert in the park. I thought you might enjoy it. Oh, I would very

much. Oh, far be it from me to interfere in the pursuit of culture.

Now, don't be late.

Mr. Maverick. Sir.

It's windy out tonight.

You may need a wrap.

I won't be a moment.

Oh, allow me.

You will find it on one of the chairs in the sitting room.

Oh.

Does it hurt very much?

Oh, no, no, you must not try to get up.

What happened?

A fine state of affairs when people can't leave their rooms without them

invaded by prowlers.

Thank heaven Maverick returned for your rap instead of you.

Cette nation de barbares.

Oh, Papa, nous avons notre part de voleurs aussi dans notre pays.

I suppose whoever it was got away.

Apparently through the window.

Did he get anything?

Not what he was after.

The Kashmir.

That thing is real, is it?

Real? Of course it is real. This is the Kashmir diamond.

And you've been wearing it around your neck?

It is a little gaudy, isn't it?

I don't know how things are in your country, Count, but to leave a thing

that lying around loose is plain asking for trouble.

So now I'm to let thieves and prowlers dictate where I should keep my

possessions? Papa, what would you suggest we do with the cashmere diamond?

Put it in the hotel safe.

Things of beauty are not created to be hidden away in vaults, Mr. Maverick.

Suppose it had been Daniel who surprised the thief. Think about that for a

moment.

However, we won't be concerned with that prospect much longer.

I'm disposing of the cashmere shortly.

Good.

Perhaps a doctor?

Oh, I'd be all right, thanks.

Go to my room, though, if you'll excuse me.

Of course.

And may I thank you once again?

You can thank me by reporting this to the hotel detective and keeping that

cashmere somewhere safe.

We will. You have my promise.

I'll see you in the morning. I still haven't shown you the Garden of the

I'm looking forward to it.

Dormez bien.

Hmm? Sleep well.

Oh, I'll try.

Won't need the horses this morning. The young lady has decided I need rest more

than exercise.

I'm inclined to agree with her.

Oh, Mr. Maverick.

My name is Ferguson. I'd like to discuss the matter with you.

Sorry, Mr. Ferguson. I don't feel up to any discussions this morning. Oh, your

head. I hope it isn't giving you too much discomfort.

What I could do without it? How do you know about my head?

It was I who struck you.

You?

Yes, I tried to be as gentle as possible under the circumstances. Please refrain

from violence. I had no alternative.

You can tell that to the hotel detective. What do you think I was doing

You weren't birdwatching.

Sir, do I look like a thief?

The jail is full of fellows who don't look like what they are.

I assure you, I was trying to return an object of value, not steel.

I implore you, Mr. Maverick, come with me.

Mrs. Ferguson and I will explain everything.

This is my wife, Helene.

This is Mr. Maverick.

How do you do, Mr. Maverick?

That's the Kashmir.

But it can't be.

Yes, it is, Mr. Maverick.

The genuine Kashmir.

The stone in Count de Lille's possession is a paced imitation.

Won't you sit down?

We'd like a few moments of your time.

I don't know what your game is, but I'm not playing.

I'm Ralph Ferguson.

Of the Fenton Fergusons.

Of Newport.

A very respected name, sir.

Congratulations.

Gets the point.

The cashmere diamond has been in my family for years.

Recently, due to financial pressures, I sold it to the Count de Lille.

Then you stole it back.

Mr. Maverick! It's all right, my love.

He has good cause to be suspicious.

At the time of the sale, the cashmere was in our family vault.

Or so we thought.

What do you mean, thought?

You're a gambling man, Mr. Maverick.

We have a son who also gambles, but... Our son stole the cashmere, Mr.

He pawned it to pay off some gambling losses.

Helene.

We must face the facts, Ralph.

He replaced the diamond with an imitation, a perfect copy.

In all good faith, we sold that to de Lille.

Didn't the Count have it appraised? Yes, several weeks before the sale was

consummated. He never questioned our honesty later.

The name of Fenton Ferguson, well, it's a guarantee, you know.

During that time, your son switched the gems.

That is correct.

After the sale, he confessed to us.

Naturally, we redeemed the gem and came west to look for Count de Lille.

We barely missed him in Denver.

Last night was my first chance to substitute the real gem for the

And you frustrated the attempt, Mr. Maverick.

Now we won't get another chance.

We need your help.

Why don't you go to the Count and explain what happened? We thought of

But the Count is not exactly the kind of man who is reasonable, Mr. Maverick.

And it is not an easy thing to reveal our son is a thief, sir.

You must help us.

I don't wish to appear brutal, Mrs. Ferguson.

I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved.

We're not asking for your help on a charity basis, Mr. Maverick. We're quite

willing to pay for your services.

Oh? In order to show our good faith and our desperate need of your assistance,

we'll pay you $5 ,000 to effect the gem substitution.

$2 ,500 now, and the rest when you complete your task.

Please, Mr. Maverick.

Your trust me with this?

We're asking for your trust. Can we withhold ours?

Good morning.

I have something I can show you, my friend.

No, I have something I'd like to show you. I'd like this appraised.

Yeah?

Him?

Is it real?

Oh, this is fabulous.

Beyond price.

Then it is genuine.

Might I ask where are you getting this?

From a friend.

A friend. Yeah, of course.

You want me to weigh it for an accurate appraisal? No, thanks. That won't be

necessary. If you like to sell the stone, I could give you a good price.

A very good price, considering what must be your original investment.

I'll have to talk it over with my friend and come back later.

Do that, mein Herr.

I am Mr. Bockenheimer.

Here's my card with my home address.

We can conduct this transaction in total privacy.

You get what I mean?

How could I misunderstand?

Thanks again.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

But I had some correspondence to answer.

And Daniel is my right hand in such matters.

Oh, is that so?

Papa received some unexpected news. We have to leave for San Francisco in a few

days. Oh.

You look pained, Mr. Maverick.

Well, I guess I'll have to make every minute count.

Count.

It is a good thing, I believe, you to be an honorable man.

Oh, Papa.

I'm only being facetious.

Both of you, run along.

And enjoy your ride.

It is lovely out here.

That's why I brought you.

Aren't you warm in that?

No, it...

It feels a little bit chilly, Bo.

It has turned warmer.

You didn't wear the cashmere.

What? Well, of course not, silly. Why would I wear it out here?

It's just that I admire beauty in any form.

In any place.

Did your father buy the cashmere here in Colorado Springs?

In Newport.

Some people there had it in their family for many years. They needed the money,

so my father bought it from them.

Yes, I remember. Some people named Fennec, I believe.

Ferguson.

Fenton Ferguson.

I wonder if you are not more interested in that old stone than you are in me.

What a thing to say.

I wish I did not have to leave so soon.

So am I. It doesn't give me much time.

No, it doesn't, does it?

This time tomorrow, you'll be all packed and on your way.

I know.

I can kiss the 5 ,000 goodbye.

What?

I said I could kiss you 5 ,000 goodbyes.

You

know,

it does not have to be goodbye like this.

Isn't there anything you want to ask me before I leave tomorrow?

Anything?

I don't want to be presumptuous and make you angry again.

Just ask.

Wear the cashmere at the ball tonight.

I've wanted to dance with the most beautiful girl in the world, wearing the

world's most beautiful diamond.

What a wonderful evening.

You like to take a stroll?

You are keeping continental hours, ma chérie.

It's midnight.

Oh, so soon?

All things must end, even waltz music.

I was just going to show Danielle the hotel gardens.

By moonlight?

A very dangerous combination, Mr. Maverick.

We have a very hard day ahead of us tomorrow.

And Danielle must get her rest.

I'll see you up there.

Will you join me in a nightcap, Mr. Maverick?

Thank you.

I'll be right down.

No, you must not do that. It is too, too exciting.

Well, I think I'd better say good night while I can still talk.

Oh, you are afraid of me.

Well, if you must go, you must go.

Will you do me a favor?

Will you take this down to the desk so they can lock it in the safe?

You see, I always follow good advice.

It will be my pleasure, Danielle.

I will call.

Would you put this in the safe account, Leo B? Of course, sir.

But you'll have to sign.

Thank you.

Here's your receipt.

Thank you.

Isn't it an amazing duplicate, Mr. Maverick?

You could have fooled me. I trust you had no difficulty obtaining it?

None at all. You might say she practically gave it to me. You've done

splendidly.

Just think of all the grief this has caused us, Ralph, dear. Do get rid of

please. Now, now, my love.

That's all over.

There's only one place for this piece of trash.

About the $2 ,500 I still owe you, I won't be able to get it until late this

afternoon. I'll have to cash another draft.

Could I deliver it to the Graymoor?

Of course. Actually, it does seem rather a lot, though.

Nonsense. You've done a wonderful service for us. You've saved the good

Fenton Ferguson.

And a bargain is a bargain.

If that's the way you feel, I can always find a use for it. If you're ever in

Newport, we insist that you look us up.

Thank you. I will.

Mr. Ferguson, thank you.

Goodbye, Mr. Maverick. We'll never forget you. Thank you, ma 'am.

Well, we made it.

You know, for a while there, I thought he was on to us. We can thank

Bockenheimer for convincing him.

Yes, he must have done a wonderful performance, huh?

Buckingham always comes through if the price is right.

A room for you gentlemen?

No, I got a friend staying here. Me and my chum just drove up from Denver to say

hello. A friend, you say?

Any objection?

Of course not.

His name is Brown.

What room is he in?

217, top of the stairs and turn to the right.

Just a moment.

Who is it?

Parker.

Well, how charming.

I'm giving you another 24 hours to get that stone.

And then what will you do, Mr. Parker?

I'll shut it down in the first place.

Why, of course.

Barge right into their suite at the hotel with a gun, I suppose.

Just how far do you think you'll get?

Let's get one thing straight right now.

You two are working for me, remember?

The agreement was for you to get the stone and arrange to have it cut.

For the minuscule sum of $20 ,000.

Don't get flip with me. For two cents, I'd cancel the whole deal.

That wouldn't be very prudent, Mr. Parker.

Show him why, my love.

All I want to see is that diamond.

Presto. Satisfied now, Mr. Parker?

You did it! Oh, why didn't you say so before?

We enjoy listening to your genteel rage.

Isn't that so, my dear?

All right, so I don't talk so pretty, but I get the cash to buy flunkies like

you every day of the week.

Oh, speaking of cash, $20 ,000, please. My wife and I have urgent business in

Denver and Points East.

I'll bet you do.

Thank you.

Uh, $10 ,000 each, if you please, my dear.

That's right.

Fine pair you are. You don't even trust each other.

Exactly. It makes for a firm relationship.

Don't you agree, dear heart?

Unquestionably, my love.

What about this bird who's going to cut the stone? How do I find him?

Everything's been arranged.

There's an abandoned ranch 12 miles outside of town on the South Road.

The Bar K.

You and your friend will be quite safe there.

Mr. Bockenheimer will meet you there late this afternoon.

Bockenheimer? German, obviously.

And one of the foremost diamond cutters of the world. Oh, why this afternoon?

What about right now?

My dear Parker, you must learn patience. These arrangements take time.

Good day, gentlemen.

You con artists.

You never do stop play acting, do you?

It is our stock in trade, sir.

And now, if you'll forgive us, we would like to continue our packing.

Come on, Dave, let's get out of here before we start talking like them.

Shh, shh.

Go away. Go, go, go quickly.

What's wrong?

Who is there down here?

Who is there?

Oh, it's me, Count Beaumaverick.

Oh, be careful.

What is this?

Silence. You will have your time to speak.

Papa, donne -lui une chance de parler.

Tais -toi. Ou quitte la chambre.

It is a real brazen thief you are.

Coming back to the scene of the crime?

Where is it? Will you let go of my arm and tell me what's going on?

It is gone, Fault.

You may release him now.

Now, what is this all about?

What have you done with the cashmere?

So that's it.

But how did you find out about the switch?

Where is it?

You have it.

I switched the real cashmere for the imitation stone you bought from the

Fergusons. The brazenness of the lad.

A lie with a balder face I've never heard.

What do you know about it? For your information, Mr. Rook is a diamond

employed by the Pinkerton Agency.

He tells me that the stone you deposited last night in the vault is not the

Kashmir.

Not the Kashmir?

If it is, me name is Oliver Cromwell. This thing is nothing but an attractive

fake. Nothing more.

And I say your Oliver Cromwell is the fake.

And not a very attractive one either.

With your permission, Count, I'll take this fancy thief along with me.

Now, just a minute. Before anybody takes anybody anywhere.

I demand that Herr Bockenheimer, a recognized jeweler in this town, be

here to give an expert appraisal of the stone.

He's only stalling for time, Count.

Papa, please.

It is a reasonable request.

We will send for this Mr.

Bockenheimer.

Meanwhile... You will remain.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

It must be the jeweler now.

We'll see.

Let him in.

Well, where's Dr. Stone?

Here it is.

Oh. Good morning, Herr Bockenheimer.

Yeah.

Yeah.

What do you think you're going to do?

Prove to everyone's satisfaction that this is an excellent imitation of the

Kashmir and nothing more. What are you talking about? That's the same stone I

brought you to appraise the other day. Oh, so?

It's a joke you're playing on, Bockenheimer, yeah?

I don't know what your game is, but you're not going to get away with it.

Release him.

Proceed. What is that with the pistol, Count de Lille?

No concern of yours, sir.

Test the stone.

You shall see.

Based.

What I said all along.

Keep an eye on this fellow, Colt, while I go fetch the local authorities.

I don't know how things are in your country, Count, but over here a man is

innocent until proven guilty.

You had the diamond.

The envelope bore you a signature.

I think that will be ample proof that you're a thief.

I was taken in by a pair of sharpies calling themselves the Fenton Fergusons.

While we're standing here talking, they're making a getaway.

Save your lives for the jury, Mr. Maverick.

All right, Count.

You win.

The diamond's in my pocket.

I thought so.

Sorry, Daniel. I had to do it. You must believe me. I'm telling the truth, but I

can't prove it from a jail cell.

I don't know what to believe.

Trust me, Daniel. I'll get the cashmere bank.

Meet me behind the livery stable at noon.

I don't know.

My father... He'll be all right. He's just stunned. The livery table, noon.

The Ferguson's still here?

Ferguson's? Well, the people in 217.

Oh, the Browns. No, they checked out about one hour ago. They left just after

the other two fellas left.

What two fellas?

Well, the two fellas that visited them after you did.

Strange kinds of friends for nice people like the Browns to have, but it takes

all kinds, I guess.

You'll never know.

Huh?

Forget it.

The Browns happen to mention where they were going?

No, no.

Don't come to think of it, they may have caught the tenants off Denver Coast.

That's about the time they left.

It's probably on his way to Denver, too.

And that's the whole story, Daniel.

I've been a sucker right down the line. I bet the Fergusons are laughing

themselves sick.

Come and tell Papa. I'm sure he will understand.

No, he won't. I hardly believe it myself, and O 'Rourke won't even bother

hear me out.

Poor darling.

And there is no trace of the Fergusons, huh?

They didn't leave on the stage.

And, uh, Buck, um, Buck, uh... Buckenheim. Oui.

August Buckenheim.

really overplayed your hand when you gave me this. What is home?

It's home address. It's on the card.

What are you going to do?

I'm going to see Bockenheimer and shake the truth out of him.

If the Fergusons aren't with him, they probably hide a ring. You see what you

can find out.

Bonjour.

Good morning.

I was looking for a needle. I lost.

We'll have a nice canter, knowing that Tim O 'Rourke is on the job.

I'll have that Scallywag Maverick back in jail before the sun sets, and the

Casimir back where it belongs even sooner.

Next time I forget my hat.

Okay.

You are not mad at me, are you?

Yeah, I'm mad at you.

Get on.

Shoot at me, you want? Yeah, I would shoot at you. Unless you tell me where

are. Oh, please, mister, they are bad people. They find out, I tell you, and

this is kaput for Buckingham.

Alice is kaput right now, unless you tell me where that diamond is.

Oh, I can't. You're on your way to meet them someplace, aren't you?

Ja, ja, ja, ja. I make you a bargain. I tell you where I meet them, and you go

away from Bockenheimer, ja?

Ja, you've got yourself a deal.

And another five miles up the road from here, there's an old ranch house, all

empty with people. And that's where they are waiting to... For me to come there

and cut that diamond in smaller pieces.

And they call the wrench the barque.

That's the truth.

I give you my word.

Now you go away from Buckingham, yeah?

Yeah.

Auf Wiedersehen, Herr Bockenheimer.

Who is he? How should I know?

Take a look.

See if there's anybody else snooping around.

What are we going to do with him?

You better give me a hand with him.

I'll take him inside.

I found this on

the front seat of a rig outside the gate.

Must be his.

What is it?

Looks like tools for cutting the diamond.

Him? Could he be Bachenheimer?

He don't look like no jeweler to me.

Pipe the gun belt.

Everybody wears them in this neck of the woods.

Pretty fancy tool for a jeweler.

Ain't nothing mean about them duds of his, either.

Well, if he ain't the diamond cutter, who is he?

I don't know.

Wake him up.

Wake up.

All right, mister, who are you?

Bachenheimer, at your service.

He's Bachenheimer, all right. That's the funniest Texas accent I ever heard.

What happened?

Who hit me on the head?

Maybe that'll teach you not to go pussyfooting around.

What is this pussyfooting? I'm here to meet someone. A man should be careful,

yeah?

Yeah.

You'll be all right.

It's hurting.

You'll get over it.

I brought your stuff in from the rig.

You got to get to work. We're running short on time.

Work? The diamond.

Are you ready to cut it up?

Yeah, the diamond.

All right, then. Get moving. Get the stuff out of the bag.

How long will it take?

As that depends on the diamond.

Nice.

Very nice.

We know it's nice. Now get busy.

Look, you've been fumbling around with that for over an hour.

Now, when are you going to cut it up?

The guns, they make me nervous.

And you're making us nervous. We haven't got all night. I want to see some

little diamonds out of that.

They still work.

Cut the gem is very difficult.

One false top and all is kaput. And you're going to go kaput if you don't

busy. Now, come on.

Don't quit stalling. I'm going to bounce a bullet off that thick skull.

And if you hit it wrong, I'm going to bounce six bullets off that skull.

Hit it!

You ruined it.

It's glass.

All right. Now, which one of you two smart alecks has got the real diamond?

Glass.

You mean it's an imitation?

They wouldn't dare double -cross us.

Would they? She did.

She switched the stone on me. Me!

All that dirty unscrupulous female... All right, drop your guns on the table.

Quick!

Over there.

You ain't Bacchanima.

That's brilliant.

I'm afraid our mutual friends the Fergusons played you for suckers just

they did me.

Oh, get away with it. I'll hunt them down.

Don't be too optimistic.

I'll find them.

They can't go far enough.

Afraid you'll have to get in line. I have first call on that pair.

Now turn around.

Thank you.

Are you sure?

I checked every livery stable in town, Beau. No one answering their description

rented a carriage.

Now what?

Go to the police. Tell them about the jeweler and the men you left out at the

ranch. If you'd just denied, I'd be right back where I started.

Right back where I started. The diamond on your dressing table in plain sight.

I would expect it. What are you going to do? Go and get your raffia. Coming with

me.

Right in front of my nose all the time.

All right, all right.

They're still here.

They paid me not to tell.

Please. Same room?

217. Can you get to 217 from the balcony?

Good. I want you to get down behind this desk and stay there for the next ten

minutes. No matter what happens, you understand?

Anything you say.

Move.

I saw someone in the shadows. Saw who?

Oh, you wouldn't know him. A terrible man named Maverick.

From now on, this is staying

with me.

There's a stage at sunup, and we're going to be on it.

Allow me, Mrs. Ferguson.

Mr. Ferguson?

I, uh... The name is Maverick, remember?

I thought I'd save you the trouble of dropping off that $2 ,500 with the

Graymoor.

Oh, yes, of course, the $2 ,500, Mr. Maverick. I was going to mail that to

but now that you're here, there you are.

I hope you'll have a very nice trip.

Never let it be said that a fentanyl Ferguson forgot an obligation.

Are you all right, Mrs. Ferguson?

Oh, yes, I'm quite all right, thank you.

Shall we get in the coach, dear?

Yes, of course, my love.

Mrs. Ferguson.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Mr. Maverick. And don't forget, if you're ever in Newport, we insist

that you look us up.

Oh, I will.

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Riding the trail to who knows where.

Luck is his companion.

Campern is his game.

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.

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

Maverick is a legend of the West.

Riverboat, 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.
