You look surprised, Maverick.

Didn't you think we could trail you?
Never mind the talk. Let's get this

Now, take it easy.

There's something you should know
before. Save your breath. Not that way,

This has got to be legal.

We take him back for a trial.

Is that all the trial he's going to get?

No.

Drop those guns.

A blaster full of buckshot.

That goes for you too, Maverick.

I'm a law officer.

Nothing garnet you ain't.

The jail's right over there. Now get
walking.

Pick up those guns, Johnny.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Afraid it's a little bit early for me,
Rand. Nonsense, Maverick.

You're not afraid of drinking your own
liquor, are you? Or is champagne too

for your taste?

I just don't want to drink up all the
profits, that's all. Don't you worry

the profits.

You'll get fat on your 50%. Well, here's
to our partnership and to the royal

flush that won it for you. Now that I
can't refuse to drink to.

Evening, Mr. Storm.

Hello, Redden.

I told you not to wear that badge in the
casino.

I'm sorry.

Forgot to take it off.

This is Mr. Maverick, the new half
-owner.

Jim Reardon, deputy constable.

He works for us on the side.

Pleased to know you, Mr. Maverick. Nice
to meet you, too.

Anything on your mind?

Yes, sir.

It's about Luke.

I know he's your brother, but he's
getting pretty handy with that six -gun.

You'd have used it on a customer last
night if I hadn't stopped him.

All right, I'll talk to him.

Do I get 50 % of Luke, too?

If you want to share the liabilities.

For 20 years, Luke has been jealous of
me in this place.

Now he can turn 50 % of his jealousy on
you.

Drink up. I got a surprise for you.

May I?

You better wait a minute. I'll go up and
see if she's decent.

She? Yeah, Flo Baker, our new
entertainer. She came in this afternoon

Louis.

And just for the record, Maverick, our
partnership does not include articles

like Miss Baker.

Did you ever hear the word knock, Mr.
Stone?

There's nothing to get excited about,
Flo.

That's right, nothing at all, Mr. Stone.

And there isn't going to be.

Is that clear?

Now look here.

I hired you.

To sing.

You'd better read our contract.

There aren't any extra clauses in it.

You don't have to be like that, honey.

I'm warning you.

What a cute little pop gun. Does it
really shoot?

I like girls with a lot of fire. Let go
of me.

Well, what do you know?

It does shoot.

The girl.

My fault.

That's the thing.

The girl.

Maverick.

He's dead.

There he is, Maverick. He shot Rand.

Go get him!

Get downstairs.

Cover the alley from both ends. $1 ,000
is the one that gets ripped.

He's got to be down here somewhere. He
hasn't had time to get away.

take any chances. He's a killer.

Don't worry, Luke.

He ain't gonna get out of town. I want
him dead ridden. I know he cheated

in that card game to get half interest
in the casino. I guess he wasn't

satisfied. He must want it all.

He ain't got nothing but trouble, man.

All right.

All right, Eric, all right.

Don't be so impatient.

Lauren, what are you doing here in St.
Joe?

Surprised, cousin Anne? Of course I am.

Perhaps you mean shocked.

But don't worry, your good neighbors
didn't see me.

What is it you want, Florence? I don't
have much time.

Expecting someone?

Yes, my fiancée.

We're being married Saturday.

You mean you're giving up teaching?

Yes. As a matter of fact, I just
finished writing a letter to a school

New Mexico, canceling a job I accepted
there.

New Mexico?

I accepted it before Eric proposed, so
I'm sending the ticket back to them.

I hope you'll be very happy, Ann.

Thank you.

Look, I don't like being rude, but Eric
should be here any moment.

Anne, I need your help.

My luggage got misplaced on the boat,
and then I lost my purse.

What do you want from me? Well, I've got
to reach St. Louis, or I'll be stranded

here.

And see, I need clothes and some money.

Oh, I'll see what I can do.

Garnet, New Mexico.

What did you say?

Oh, the letter. I'll mail it for you.
Oh, don't bother about it.

It's no bother at all, Ann.

One good turn deserves another.

We know he's somewhere here in town.

Tall fella.

Dresses like a gambler.

If you see him, take it easy.

He's a killer.

Mrs. Shepard?

Oh, is Flo Baker here?

Do you know her?

No, ma 'am. I found something belonging
to her. I'd like to return it.

I took the liberty of looking inside.

Your name was the only St. Joe entry in
her address book.

She's my cousin. She left this morning
for St. Louis on the Delta Queen.

St. Louis.

I'll send this to her. Thank you so
much.

She weren't among the passengers on the
Delta Queen, mister.

You're positive?

Well, it's my job, ain't it? I ought to
know.

The only female on the boat was Agatha
Turnipseed, and you can't call her

nothing more than an old battle axe.

Maybe your friend left town by stage.

Where is the stage depot?

Two blocks down main.

Thanks. Hey, you.

Sheriff's looking for a killer dressed
just like you.

Yeah?

You sure you haven't seen anyone put in
his description? Yep, I'm sure.

What about the passengers on the
westbound stage this morning?

Just a couple of drummers and a gal.

Girl? Do you know her?

What'd she look like?

Well, now, I'll tell you the same thing
I told that other fella. If I was ten

years younger, I'd be chasing her, too.

Prettiest little trick you ever did see.

What other fella?

Don't get in the lather. If it weren't
Maverick, couldn't have been the way he

was dressed.

You think the girl could have been a
flow bigger?

How would I know? I never even got to
see her. I picked her up when she got

yesterday.

Where was she going?

Hmm? I say, where was she going?

Oh, well, she had a through ticket to
Garnet, New Mexico territory. But then,

you see, that's a junction point with
two other stage lines. So she might have

been going most any... Keep your eyes
open.

You think Maverick and this Baker woman
could have been in cahoots?

Maybe.

She had to have some reason to just up
and disappear.

Well, we know she worked in St. Louis.

I'll get a wire off to the police there
and see if they can check out on it. I'm

not interested in her.

It's Maverick I want.

We'll get him, Luke. I want him found.
He's going to pay for killing my

I don't care how long it takes or where
he is. I want him found.

Good morning.

Howdy.

Is that animal for sale?

Well, now, that ain't no ordinary horse,
mister.

No ordinary horse, huh?

I can see that.

I'll give you ten dollars.

Well, if I sold old dude, it'd just be
like selling my right arm.

Twenty -five.

Now, I'm a trading man, mister, and if
the price is high enough... Thirty is my

top offer.

Where on earth did you get that suit?

Back in old St. Joe?

Well, now, this is no ordinary suit.

Here, fill the material.

Well, sure enough.

I ought to be here any minute now.

The stage is coming. The stage is
coming.

Hey, Pa, the stagecoach is right around
the bend. The stage is coming, Pa.

Get over here, Walter.

But, Pa.

Get, boy.

boys, now let's limber up. A one, a two.

Oh, Ephraim, maybe they better not play
that. What is Miss Shepard's Northern

Girl? It's the only tune they know all
the way through.

Oh, that's...

Miss Shepard?

Mayor Birch?

Cut out that infernal caterwauling!

I'm Mayor Birch, Miss Shepard. Welcome
to Garnett. Thank you.

his baggage into the hotel.

Now, now, folks, let's go inside.

Miss Shepherd can relax while we're all
getting acquainted.

Now, you just sit down and make yourself
to home, Miss Shepherd.

We've got some refreshments. Which would
you prefer, tea or apple cider?

Tea would be fine.

But I'd really like to know about your
school, naturally.

Maybe you better tell her, Ephraim.

Well, it's like this, ma 'am. We have
problems.

The legislators at Santa Fe have refused
to build us a schoolhouse. But we're

pure determined that our young 'uns are
going to have book learning. Even a

couple of the older ones.

Older ones?

A couple of the ranchers' boys from out
yonder. All grown up and can't even read

or write.

We have formed our own school board. And
we're going to build the finest school

in the territory.

However, for the time being, you'll have
to bear with us.

Of course, Mr. Birch.

We'll make you just as comfortable as we
can.

Sure you will.

Howdy, stranger.

Light and rest your saddle.

That's a fine -looking horse you have
there.

Bar K's got nothing but the best.

Been up north with a herd.

Going back home to Texas now.

This is Jim and Dave. I'm Chuck. Nice to
meet you.

My name's Maverick. Pleasure.

Oh, gods.

Hold it, mister.

Eight noon yet.

Got to get in line and wait.

Well, that sign means what it says.

It's kind of bad for business, isn't it?

No, they drink as much as ever.

Just faster to make up for lost time.

Is the hotel closed, too?

No, it's open. You want a room?

Yeah.

My name's Ethan Birch.

I'm Paul Maverick.

I'm the town marshal, the mayor, and the
school board superintendent.

I operate this hotel here for a living.
When do you find the time?

Step right this way.

Going to be in town long?

I'm not sure.

Upstairs to the left, last door.

It's an odd place for a school, isn't
it?

We don't think so.

It's what you learn that counts, not
where.

You have a point, my friend.

A saloon is sometimes more of a school
than most folks realize.

Now, spelling isn't really hard

when you learn to put the alphabet
together in the right places.

Now, you just mix up the letters and...

They make the words you want.

Now, when you spell the word cat, in the
regular alphabet,

A comes first.

But in cat, it comes up second.

Is that understood?

Uh, turn to page six in your bluebacks,
fellas.

Oh, I was just brushing up on my
education, Marshal. I know, teacher.

Mayor. Call me Ephraim.

We're proud of our school, Maverick. I
don't want to catch you interrupting it

in any way.

I wouldn't do that.

By the way, uh...

Who is the young lady teacher?

Miss Shepard.

We got her from back east. St. Joe,
Missouri.

Oh, interesting.

No, it ain't.

You keep away from her, Maverick.

Why, Ephraim, I wouldn't dream of
trying. Just be sure you don't.

All right, kids.

Children, you may be dismissed, but
don't be tardy in the morning.

That was wonderful, Miss Shepard. You
make everything sound so simple. Thank

you, ladies.

E from Birch.

You cover that shameful thing this
instant.

I've asked him to get rid of that a
hundred times, but, well, you know how

are.

Yes, I've heard.

Well, if you ladies will excuse me, I'd
like to go to my room. Of course, my

dear.

How do you do, Miss Shepard?

What, say we sweeten the pup with a
little anti -gents?

If this is your business in Garnett,
Maverick, you'll soon wear out your

welcome. It's just a pastime.

Is that right? Then what's your
business?

He from a man can't play poker and talk
shop at the same time. It's dealer's

choice, draw or jack so better.

Columbus discovered America, 1492.

Plymouth Rock, 1620.

Declaration of Independence, 1776.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M,
N,

O, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z.

That's fine, children, but let's try it
once more. Now, all together.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K...

S -T -V -W -X -Y -Z.

Oh, that's good, children.

Now, we'll have some history and stuff.

Now, I'll ask the questions, and if you
know the answers, why raise your hand.

Now, who discovered America?

It was Christopher Columbus.

When do the pilgrims land at Plymouth
Rock?

All right.

You.

1620, Miss Shepherd.

That is correct.

Next question.

Which is the largest country in the
Western Hemisphere?

Elvira?

Texas, Miss Shepherd.

The next question.

I haven't asked it yet, Walter.

All right, Walter,

you may be excused.

All right, children, you may...

Oh, have a ten -minute recess.

Good morning.

Miss Shepard.

And how are the little scholars today?

Children? They're fine.

My name is Maverick. I believe we have
some mutual acquaintances in St. Joe.

You do come from St. Joe, don't you?

Yes.

Well, I think we should have a little
talk, Miss Shepard. About what?

Miss Shepard and I have both come from
St. Joe, so I thought... You ain't

supposed to think.

I told you not to pester this little
lady.

I wasn't pestering her.

I'll decide that.

Oh, it wasn't anything, Mayor Birch.

He just thought he might know me.

Well, he don't, and that's that.

You're quite right, Mayor.

That's that.

For the last time, Maverick, you keep
away from her. We had a hard time

a teacher like her.

I can believe that. And I don't aim to
see her bothered. Is that clear?

Quite.

Walter!

Aren't you boys ashamed of yourselves?

Maybe so, Miss Shepard, but... We just
wanted to see if she's as pretty as you

are.

But she ain't.

I... Well... Well, get down from there
immediately.

No.

She ain't half as pretty as you are.

Junior, back to your ABCs. I'm not
teaching you the birds and the bees.

Thank you.

Good evening, Miss Shepard.

May I sit down?

You will anyway.

Thank you.

Would you mind telling me what it is you
want?

Your purse, the one I found in your room
at St. Joe.

Did your cousin send it on to you?

Are you the police?

No, Miss Baker.

Just a man with his neck in a noose, and
you put it there.

Me?

Rand Storm was my partner in the Golden
Wheel Casino.

That's where I heard your name.

He died before he could tell anybody
that you shot him.

They think I did it.

It was an accident.

He grabbed the gun and it went off.

Rand had a reputation as a ladies' man.

You shouldn't have any trouble
convincing a jury.

A jury?

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take you
back to St. Joe with me.

Just like that.

And if I don't want to go?

I'm not giving you any choice.

You say they think you shot him, hmm?

You're going to straighten that out.

Why should I?

Because I'm innocent, and I have a nice
profitable saloon waiting for me in St.

Joe.

I don't owe you a thing.

You never did anything for me.

Do you want to be responsible for my
death, too?

Don't be melodramatic, Mr. Maverick.

You don't have any evidence against me.

I ran off, that's all.

And my cousin isn't going to press
charges against my impersonating her

She detests notoriety.

You can't be that cold -blooded.

I can choose between my neck and yours.

No jury would ever convict you once they
heard your story.

Oh, it must be nice to be so positive
about something.

Now, why don't you let me eat my dinner
in peace?

I can tell Ephraim Birch the facts.

My word against yours?

Want to make a bet on who he would
believe?

Dear teacher, the word is home.

You look surprised, Maverick.

Didn't you think we could trail you?
Never mind the talk. Let's get this

Now take it easy. There's something you
should know before... Save your breath.

Not that way, Luke. This has got to be
legal.

We take him back for a trial.

Is that all the trial he's going to get?

No.

Drop those guns!

A blaster full of bugshot.

That goes for you too, Maverick.

I'm a law officer.

Not in Garnet, you ain't.

The jail's right over there. Now get
walking.

Pick up those guns, Johnny.

That man killed my brother. We've been
trailing this man from St. Joe.

I'm a peace officer.

That'll give you no right to disturb the
peace here.

We was apprehending a criminal.

You got no jurisdiction here.

Put him on the desk, Johnny.

So... You killed a man.

You don't look like that kind.

I'm not.

We saw different.

You saw me with a gun in my hand, but
you never saw me use it.

Then who did use it? Shut up, Red, and
he's trying to talk his way out. I can

prove it. I've got... Juan, you got
what?

A witness.

You don't by any chance mean Miss
Shepard, do you?

Is that why you've been pestering her?

Look here, Maverick. She ain't a witness
for you or anybody else.

I don't care what happened at St. Joe's.
She's staying here.

She's a Jim Dandy little teacher, and
we're hanging on to her.

Believe for my... Maverick, you're a
troublemaker.

If I wasn't a man who believed in
sticking to the rules, I'd turn you over

these roosters.

Why don't you do just that?

We'll be on our way.

I ain't seen any warrant for his arrest.
You got one?

But he's a fugitive.

He's entitled to his freedom until you
show me a warrant.

What kind of a marshal are you, anyhow?

One that goes by the law, as you'll find
out if you raise any more ruckus here

in Garnett. Now, get out.

How about our guns?

I'll give them to you when you leave
town.

Why, you old goat! Come on, Luke.

You've only got a stay of execution,
Maverick. We're wiring for that warrant.

Until it gets here, we'll be sticking
closer to you than a mustard plaster.

If you're sensible, you'll give up and
ride back with us.

And how are you going to guarantee that
I'll reach St. Joe?

What do you mean by that?

I never shot any prisoners.

Luke seems to prefer me dead.

Go ahead, shoot off that big mouth of
yours while you can.

Meaning I won't be able to shoot it off
at the trial.

Good night, gentlemen.

Don't lose too much sleep.

Watch him. You go send that wire.

Tell me, Luke, why'd you throw down on
him a while ago? We had him dead to

rights.

You know he meant to resist. No, no, I
don't know that.

You've got a real itchy trigger finger,
all right.

I came here with you to bring Maverick
back alive, and that's just exactly what

I aim to do.

Sure, Ritten, we'll do that.

You meet me at the hotel.

I want to see you. About what?

You've already talked.

That was before.

Before what? Before a bloodthirsty
friend showed up. They want to hang me

shoot me. They don't seem to care which.
After you.

What are you going to do?

They don't give me much choice, do they?

If you try to run away, they'll kill
you.

And if I don't, they'll see that I hang.

You're not going to try to escape?

What's the use?

You ran, but I found you. But I was
scared.

I'm still scared.

That's a normal reaction.

I couldn't face a trial.

But you want me to.

I'm an entertainer.

To most people, that's a dance hall
girl. They'd throw the book at me.

chance you'll have to take. But the odds
are in your favor. Most jurors... Well,

if you have so much confidence in jury,
why don't you go back and stand trial?

Why should I stick my neck out? That's
really how you want it.

You're the professional gambler, Mr.
Maverick.

Any time I've gambled, I've lost.

Good night.

Well, the wire's been sent.

All we can do now is wait.

He still over there?

Yeah. You watch him for a spell, will
you? I need some coffee.

Hey, where'd you get that gun?

I always carry a spare in my saddlebag.

You ought to do the same.

Give it to me, Luke.

I'm the official law.

What's biting you, anyhow?

You think I'm too handy with this?

I just hope Maverick tries to escape.

That'll be different.

Look, don't you go splitting hairs with
me. You're only here because of that $1

,000 reward money.

Well, don't get finicky about how you
collected.

I only want it legal.

I only want him dead.

Where my love lies dreaming, dreaming
the

happy hours away.

In visions bright redeeming,

the fleeting joys of day.

happy hours away.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude.

I'm glad I did.

Why are you crying?

I'm not crying.

But everything's so messed up.

It doesn't have to be.

I always butch everything up.

Trying to be somebody I'm not.

Why try?

Why not just be yourself?

Did enjoy the song.

What are you trying to do, Maverick?
Soften me up?

You're doing that to yourself already.

I can't do what you want.

I'm not that kind of person.

I... I don't have the courage.

Oh, I think you have.

Now, I can't bring myself to go back to
St. Joe and...

In face of jury.

What do you mean by that, miss?

What jury?

Are you the officer from St. Joe?

Yes, ma 'am.

Constable Reardon.

Well, I'm Flo Baker.

Yes, Miss Baker.

I shot Rand Storm.

You giving yourself up?

Yes, I am. No, you ain't.

This puts a crimp in your plans, doesn't
it? What do you mean by that?

Why do you think Luke tried to gun me
down?

Because you killed Rand, or at least he
thought you did.

He wants revenge.

Revenge?

You hated Rand, didn't you, Luke?

Because he represented everything you
weren't.

He was the success. He had brains while
you were a failure living on his

handouts.

You want to become sole owner of the
Golden Wheel Casino. That's what you're

really after, isn't it?

And with me out of the way, that's what
you'll have.

There'll be no murdering when I'm around
here.

You want to collect that reward on
Maverick, don't you?

If he gets killed while you're trying to
arrest him, who'll know the difference?

I will.

Don't be a fool.

I'll give you an interest in the casino.

Now, that makes sense.

He wants to kill me because I own an
interest.

You must think I'm real stupid, Luke.

Give me that.

I told you fellas not to raise another
ruckus.

Man, you're in bad shape.

Needs medical attention.

You're everything else. You don't happen
to be a doctor, do you?

Nope.

Just remember, Miss Shepard, Miss Baker,
we're all cheering for you.

When it's all over at St. Joe, you catch
the first stage back here.

Them young 'uns will be needin' you.

But, Mayor Burch, I... Now, it don't
make no never mind to us if you ain't

no degree.

We like your brand of teachin'. Well,
thank you.

Thank you all.

You're the nicest kids I... children
I've ever known.

Are you going to come back pretty soon
and learn some more schooling, ma 'am?

Well, I... If I can.

But don't be too disappointed if I... I
bet you I know you're going to get

married.

Well, maybe someday, Elva.

And you're going to have lots of
children just like us.

I couldn't want anything nicer.

Now, look.

Remember the lessons.

The reading, the spelling, and... The
ABCs.

Uh, Miss Shepard.

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

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

Camden 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.

Farewell, Annabelle.

Luck is a lady that he loves the best.

That's New Orleans,
