Good afternoon, Miss Hewlett.

May I present my cousin, Bo, Miss
Phyllis Hewlett.

Pleasure, Miss Hewlett.

So you're really leaving us.

Halt! Stand in your tracks!

Did you or did you not offer in payment
of a gambling debt this here receipt?

No?

Then you're charged with malicious
mischief, conspiracy with intent to

fraud, and...

What does it all mean, Sheriff?

Well, maybe this will make it a little
clearer.

A Warner Brothers television production.

Oh, this is more like it. Yeah.

Why do you suppose we often talk?

I don't care if it was ten feet.

I still couldn't make it.

I know what you mean.

Pleasant dreams, cousin Bob.

Ditto.

You see what I saw?

Can't you see some people are trying to
sleep?

Bandits. Out to rob me.

My goodness.

Please, help me.

Spot?

I suppose so. We're going to get any
sleep.

I must have a regular arsenal over
there.

Why don't we get out of here, Belden?
There's plenty more silver where that

from.

Not too far back to town.

If we stay off the road, they won't be
able to charge us.

What do you mean, we?

You wouldn't run out on me now.

Oh, we've been riding since sunup. We're
tired.

But it's only a few miles.

Wait.

There should be beds in town.

Shall we force ourselves?

All right.

You won't regret this, gentlemen.

I'm a prominent citizen of Stopgap, if I
do say so.

Wembley's the name. Jasper Wembley.

Maverick Bart.

Maverick Bo.

Oh, a pleasure.

Brothers? Cousins.

Well, as I said, you won't regret.

Well, thank heaven the telegraph office
is still open, so I'll leave you

gentlemen here.

If there's anything I can do for you,
just say the word.

Oh, you'll find a hotel in the next
block.

Thanks. My thanks to you, gentlemen.

you back so soon. You win, Hewlett. Win?

Bandits, not a chance of getting the
silver through.

Well, Hewlett, Western States Telegraph
at your service, sir. We were about to

close, but I think we could oblige you,
Devers.

Yes, Mr. Hewlett.

Put the silver in the safe and give Mr.
Wembley a receipt.

Yes, sir.

It's all made out.

We expected you back, sir.

And I hate to mention it, but...

There'll be a $25 charge.

Highway robbery.

Oh, on the contrary, sir. You saw, sir.
It's to prevent highway robbery.

If the Canyon City office is still open,
we'll put your credit through for you

tonight, sir.

If not, we'll take care of it first
thing in the morning.

Ryan? Oh, don't look so glum, Mr.
Wembley. Come on down to Hendrickson's.

give you a chance to win back your $25.

Dad? Business, my pet.

Strictly business.

Entertaining the customers.

Oh, what'd they say?

Well, we flushed them back into the
fold.

They just said, good work, chalk up
another, just like candy from a baby.

Well, good evening again, gentlemen.

Why didn't you tell us the hotel was
full?

There's no room to be had in the whole
town, Wembley. I didn't know.

Oh, you didn't know, huh? The town's
been booming ever since they struck

off in the hills. There hasn't been a
bed for months. Well, you can have my

These games often go on all night.

I like it. Where do we go? Mrs. Smith's
boarding house, 406 Main Street.

Just ask the fellows to move over. Tell
them I sent you.

What fellows?

A couple of prospectors.

And they're paying $5 a head.

I told you I wouldn't forget what you
fellas did for me. I'm letting you in

nothing.

Thanks, anyway.

Cheers.

To scorn honest toil?

Why not scorn it? I'd just try to avoid
it.

My old pappy used to say, son, hard work
never hurt anybody who didn't do it.

Ah, for shame. How do you think I got
where I am today?

By having a rich father.

What?

As a matter of fact, you're right. I
never would have amounted to anything

without the Hewlett fortune.

Almost didn't win it.

It was a family disgrace.

Buck, that's all over with. Done. You
see, before you would change men.

No more wine, women, gambling.

Sir, you're back, Mr. Hewlett.

Hey.

Well, I only allow myself one game a
week. Strictly recreation, do you

understand?

I can't open it.

I'm a respectable businessman now.

President of Hewlett Western States
Telegraph Company.

You've told me. I'm impressed.

Cards? Three.

Too rich for my blood.

Well, it looks like it's up to me to
keep him honest.

It's impossible. I'm out.

Me too.

Well, I have no secrets, gentlemen.

Why, of all the bluffing I ever... My
flush would have beat your small

cold.

And my full house.

Even my straight to the king.

Small straight?

I thought I had a straight flush.

Look at you.

Perfectly straight face.

Such conviction.

I would have sworn you really made it.

So could I.

Cousin, let's say we call it a night.

That's an idea with merit.

Just a minute, fellas.

Between the two of you, you're about 6
,000 ahead, right?

More or less.

You figure to cash that much in and hog
up in the hills?

No reflection on your hospitality,
Sheriff, but by nightfall, we hope to be

far as possible from Stopgap.

No hideout for me.

You know what happened to Wembley.

I don't think those bandits are still
around.

They're never gone.

Not as long as Stopgap is booming.

No wonder this town is booming. Nobody
can take anything out.

Oh, that's where you're wrong, sir.

Hewlett Western States Telegraph Company
is at your service.

What good will that do?

Oh, simple.

You put your money in our local office,
and then for a nominal fee, we wire

credit in an equal amount to a bank of
your own choosing at your destination.

You mean we can wire our money ahead to
Denver?

Precisely.

And how do you get the money out?

Well, when we move our assets into some
large enough to warrant the Army sending

an escort.

In the meantime, it's a large,
recognized corporation.

Banks throughout the West honor our
credit.

What do you think, Sheriff?

You haven't got much choice.

So it would seem.

All right, you wait here, Cousin Bo.

Mr. Hewlett will take me to his office.
I'll wire our money ahead and meet you

back here later.

Yeah, well, I'll just keep a couple of
hundred off for expenses.

Judith, you've got yourself a customer.

Here you are, sir.

Receipt in full.

$6 ,340.

Thank you. And welcome to our family of
satisfied customers, Mr. Maverick.

Daddy, I've been looking everywhere for
you.

Oh, I had an important conference. I
couldn't get away.

I'm glad you found me, though. We can
breakfast together.

And perhaps Mr. Maverick will join us.

About Maverick, my daughter filleth.

Miss Hewlett?

How do you do?

Perhaps we can persuade you to delay
your departure until after breakfast.

Oh, consider me persuaded.

You know, this wouldn't be a bad little
town if it weren't so crowded.

You think it's crowded now?

You should see that someone should find
the lost diamond back.

Lost diamond back? Lost diamond back
silver mine.

It was buried in a landslide about 20
years ago.

Nobody's been able to locate it since.

There's a quarter of a million in silver
yet to be mined.

Have openers, Mr. Maverick?

Openers. Do you have openers?

back to the office, Mr. Maverick.

Mr. Maverick?

Well, now, see here.

He's exhausted, poor dear.

You run along, Daddy. I'll be all right.

Your bet, Mr. Maverick.

Mr. Maverick!

Mr. Maverick!

Long story.

So's mine.

But it boils down to this.

I had four kings.

Only one of them was a jack.

Again? You lost?

All the 200 you held out?

Well, we'll just have to wire Denver and
get back some of that 6 ,000.

Oh, no.

Don't tell me.

Did you get a receipt from the telegraph
office?

Yeah.

Let me see it.

How much do you owe?

Mr. Wembley, come over here and bring a
pen.

All of it?

So I wasn't at my best.

I still don't see why we have to leave
Stopgap.

Because you lost the toss of the coin.

The way your luck's been running today,
I don't see why you had to win that one.

Oh, quick griping. You can't really want
to stay in this town.

Miss Hewlett.

You can really want to stay in this
town.

Good afternoon, Miss Hewlett.

May I present my cousin, Bo, Miss
Phyllis Hewlett.

Pleasure, Miss Hewlett.

So you're really leaving us.

Bo, get in your truck.

Did you or did you not offer in payment
of a gambling debt this here receipt?

Yeah.

Then you're charged with malicious
mischief, conspiracy with intent to

fraud. What's it all mean, Sheriff?

Well, maybe this will make it a little
clearer.

Miss Hewlett?

Still don't get it.

Oh, well.

What do we have here?

You poor boys.

In here all day.

My, you must be starving. You are an
angel.

Well, even criminals have to eat.

Do you happen to know just what the
crime is we're supposed to have

Don't you?

Well, all we did was pay a debt.

With a worthless piece of paper.

Worthless? The Denver bank wired back
that 20 minutes after your credit was

established there, someone with your
power of attorney came in and drew the

money out.

Well, that's impossible.

Nobody in Denver has our power of
attorney.

Have they?

Not from me, they haven't.

We've been robbed.

We've got to get out of here and find
out what's going on.

Now, take it easy, Cousin Bo. Miss
Hewlett, this chicken is delicious.

Thank you. It's grandmother's recipe.

All right, the food is excellent, and
the waitress is charming, granted.

But I'm hanged if I get to sit around in
jail for something I didn't do.

Let's just leave things the way they are
till tomorrow morning. Why?

Cousin Bo, have you forgotten the fact
that this cell is equipped with beds?

Sheriff said you wanted to see me.

That's right, Mr. Wembley.

We'd like to make a deal.

I'll make a deal. Glad to. Pay me what
you owe. I'll drop all charges.

Fair enough, but there's just one
problem.

How do you expect us to raise what we
owe you as long as we're locked up in

here? That's your problem.

Oh, no, it's yours.

If you want your money.

You've got a point.

All right, then.

Drop the charges. We'll get out of here,
go to Denver, and straighten things

out. What guarantee do I have that you
will ever return?

What have you got to lose?

I'll let one of you go.

One? What about... After all, it's you
who owe me.

So I'll drop charges against your
cousin. He can go up to Denver and get

money. We'll keep you here as hostage to
make sure he returns.

Well, there's no telling what's going
on. It may take both of us.

What's the matter, Mr. Maverick? Don't
you trust your own cousin?

Oh, frankly, I... Good morning,
gentlemen.

Breakfast.

Phyllis, you're too good to us.

Just trying to be hospitable.

And will you always bring me my meals as
long as I'm in here?

Yes.

What about the clean meals?

Could I persuade you to bring me a book
and read to me?

while away the long, lonely hours.

I guess it could be arranged.

Mr. Wembley? Of course I trust my
cousin.

He'll be back.

It's a deal.

Your reply is coming in now, Mr.
Wembley. Ah, good.

Mr. Maverick, how come you're still in
town? You promised.

Before going all the way to Denver, I
thought I'd send another wire and try to

find out what's going on up there. Well,
I don't intend to wait indefinitely.

Neither does my cousin.

Stop worrying, Wembley. You'll get your
money.

Here's the message, Mr. Wembley. Now,
excuse me, Mr. Maverick. Don't mind me.

It's from my wife. I wired to find out
how things are going back home. Good.

Tell me... What?

Mr. Devers, are you sure this is what
Emma said?

Well, it's what came over the wire, sir.

Why, is something wrong?

I asked you, was Tommy's bad leg any
better?

According to this wire, it says he's so
much improved, he danced an hour at the

square dance in town.

What's wrong with that?

A mule?

Oh.

Oh, dear.

Could Emma maybe have found the jug I
hid behind the barn?

Good day, Mr. Maverick. Yes. And
remember, I expect my money.

How could I forget?

And now, sir, may I help you?

Yes.

I'd like to send a telegram.

To my pappy.

About to get married.

Settling down.

Getting a job.

Giving up poker forever.

Your loving son, Bart.

Your reply, sir.

Oh, good.

Delighted you have seen error of your
ways. Congratulations.

all my love to you and bride, your proud
Pappy.

My, isn't that a lovely sentiment?

Yes, it's a beautiful sentiment.

It's a charming sentiment.

No Pappy of mine.

That you, Clay?

Clay?

so so

Just a minute, mister.

Hi.

Don't hi me.

What was you doing up there?

I was trying to get through to Denver.

But Denver Road ain't up there.

Yeah, well, I was looking for a
shortcut.

I thought I'd follow the telegraph line.

Yeah? Well, did you follow it?

That's just what I thought.

Get down.

I said to get down.

Yes, sir.

Where's the sheriff?

I don't know. Why? Somebody steal your
horse?

Company's a fake.

Telegraph company, a hoax.

Wires don't go to Denver, they don't go
anywhere. Just a hole in the ground.

You mean drinking.

The guy up there, he's Denver. He's El
Paso. He's San Francisco.

He's Pappy. What are you talking about?

The messages are a fake. People turn
over their money, their silver, to the

company here, and that's the end of it.

On top of which, they even charge a fee
for swindling you.

You mean the telegraph line doesn't go
anywhere?

It goes two miles, then into a cave.

Oh, I begin to see.

I think. But how long do they expect to
get away with it? Somebody's sure to

find out.

But he has.

Me.

They've probably got their horses
saddled. They'll work it as long as they

and pull out fast when there's trouble.
A town booming like this, they could

clean up a nice hall in a few weeks.

I'll try to find the sheriff.

Oh, Cousin Bob.

Yeah. Who suggested you wire the money?

Hewlett. Yeah, who else?

The sheriff, but he wouldn't have
anything to... Would he?

Who knows?

Besides, even if the sheriff is on the
level, who's going to believe that the

son of the wealthy and respected Senator
Hewlett's a crook?

Well, I've got proof.

The cave and a witness.

I tied him up so he couldn't get away.

And while we're traipsing around the
hills tracking down your proof, Hewlett

company pull out with our money.

There must be something we can do.

Yeah.

Not with the sheriff.

Besides, what would your old pappy say
if he heard you'd gone to the law?

Remember what he used to tell us?

All men are equal before the law, but
what kind of odds are those?

True.

There must be something we can do to get
our money back.

Yeah.

With interest.

Hello, Sheriff.

I thought you was going to Denver.

Well, I find that won't be necessary.

Unless you come up with Mr. Wembley's 6
,000 mui per auto, it will be necessary.

That's exactly what I intend to do.

Lovely day.

Is it not?

Tell me something.

Are all the wires you send and receive
held strictly confidential?

Oh, yes, sir. Of course, sir.
Absolutely, sir. Strictly. Are you sure?

Our discretion is backed by the name
Hewlett.

I couldn't ask for a better guarantee
than that.

But still, I've got to be sure.

I wouldn't want a word of this to get
around.

You have my oath, sir.

Mum's the word.

Silent is the tomb.

We won't breathe a syllable.

But you remember that.

This is the message.

Yes, sir. To my Uncle Buck, Mr. Buck
Maverick, Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Need $15 ,000 cash at once.

Cousin Bo and I have located the lost
Diamondback mine.

You promised.

Must have money to buy equipment and
hire men.

Can be operating within a week.

Quarter of a million minimum.

Assured. Your $15 ,000 makes you one
-third partner.

Send cash immediately if interested.
Care of Hewlett Telegraph Company,

Colorado. Sign it, Bart.

Yes, sir. Send it, collect.

And not a word. Yes, sir.

No, sir.

We'll get it right out.

Give me two.

I'll play these.

Mr. Maverick, let's not have any more
stalling. If you're not going to get my

money... I just didn't want to interrupt
the game.

There you are.

You're lucky, Wembley. All this and a
dancing mule.

Sheriff, my cousin's waiting.

Wembley?

Seems to be all here, Sheriff.

You can leave him in the lock.

Thank you, Sheriff.

Have a chair.

Gentlemen.

Like HR.

Coming out.

They're getting on their horses.

Yeah, and they're going to be riding out
of town with our $15 ,000.

Why'd I ever let you talk me into it?

Now, stop worrying.

They won't get away from us, and they'll
lead us right to Diamondback.

Now, get on that machine and wire -bell
them to be on the lookout for them.

As soon as they come through the pass,
Clay and him can trail them to the mine.

What if they lose them? They won't.

A quarter of a million dollars, and you
worry about 15 ,000.

Once we've located the mine, the boys
can take care of the Mavericks, and

will ever know they had anything to do
with it.

What do you mean, take care of them?

Oh, hello, Mr. Hewlett.

I ask you a question.

Isn't the answer obvious?

What's going on here? Do I understand
the Mavericks have found the diamond

We have found it, Mr. Hewlett.

And now I suppose we'll have to count
you in too.

Oh, yes, indeed.

I mean, absolutely not.

Good heavens, murder.

I don't want any part of that.

Well, suit yourself.

But a quarter of a million dollars.
Well, on the other hand, I hardly know

boys. It's up to them to take care of
themselves, isn't it? What?

Am I my brother's keeper?

Oh, dear.

What's the matter?

The spark of humanity cannot be
quenched. I'm sorry, Deavers, I can't

through with it. Well, there's not much
you can do about it. Oh, I can go to the

sheriff.

Well,

before you do, there's something you
should know.

Now, you and I are partners, right?

Well, yeah, well, not in murder.

In the Hewlett Western States Telegraph
Company. Well?

Mr. Hewlett, there is no telegraph
company.

What? That's why we needed your name as
a front.

Why, you scoundrel! If I had the
slightest suspicion that... Well,

I did suspect.

But only a little.

That's besides the point. You're not
going to kill those two boys. Now, you

to interfere, and the whole town's going
to know that you've been running a

gigantic swindle.

But I didn't know it was a swindle.

Now, who's going to believe that?

Good day, Mr. Hewlett, sir.

It was so good of you to drop by.

How much farther?

We're almost there.

I thought this sort of thing was all
over and done with.

Oh, so did I.

Oh, dreams.

Daughter, you see before you a broken
man, a beaten man.

Beaten? Well, what's the matter? What's
wrong?

Oh, it would be simpler if you asked me
what's right. Nothing, absolutely

nothing. Perhaps I can help. Oh, nobody
can help.

Oh, stop blithering, Father. What is it?

Sit down, daughter.

It's a long story and horrifying.

My tenure is simply horrifying.

You guys ain't going to leave me here
tied up like this, are you?

I'll admit it isn't a gentlemanly thing
to do, but then who's a gentleman?

I'm tired.

Stop squirming, will you?

You're the tide that's not in that
business.

Don't move.

I sure hope you weren't kidding when you
said you knew how to use that thing.

That's all I have to show for my stretch
in the army.

I still can't get over you volunteering.

Who volunteered? The colonel won me in a
poker game.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Stop oh -boying and tell me what's
happening.

What's going on?

What is it?

Belden says forget the Mavericks.

Forget them? Listen, the marshal from
Denver is coming through the pass with a

posse. Oh, boy.

Yeah, that's what I say.

Oh, we've got to get out of here.

Yeah, I know. So Belden suggests we take
all the silver and cash out of the safe

and hide within the shack behind
Henrik's saloon.

He'll meet us there, and then we can get
away after dark.

That's all there is to it, Phyllis, the
whole sordid story.

So you see, there's nothing left.

That's not going to do any good. What
is?

Well, for one thing, we can warn the
poor boys.

Deaver said not to interfere.

Then don't, but I'm going to. Phyllis,
what are you going to... Phyllis!

We can hold them off, but what happens
to your plan?

It beats me.

Can you, uh... Hold the fort alone?

I think so. What are you going to do?

I'm going to send another message.

Holler if you need me.

Right.

Well? Coast clear.

What are you waiting for?

It's Belden again.

He says put the money back in the safe.

What?

The marshal's camping out in the hills
for the night, so Belden's going to slip

into town, pick up a wagon, and meet us
here at the office.

We'll load up and pull out before
morning.

All right.

I guess he knows what he's doing.

Well?

They're holding their fire.

You know, if they're smart, one of them
will go back into town for

reinforcements.

And that'll spoil everything.

Yeah.

We've got to figure some way to get out
of here.

Look, I've got an idea.

I can keep them bottled up from here.
One of you two go back to town and get

some dynamite.

Hey, wait a minute.

Take a look.

Now, what's he doing out here?

Well, don't ask me, Belden.

I won't. I'll ask her.

Miss Hewlett? Where are the Mavericks?

Are they friends of yours?

In a way.

What have you done to them?

Why, nothing.

Come on.

I'll take you to them.

It's awful quiet out there.

You think they both left?

Nope. Come on.

All right, you wanted the fellas, now
call them.

I said call them.

Bart!

Bo!

Fellas? Yeah.

All right, you in there.

You want to see this girl alive, you'd
better throw out your guns and come out

with your hands up.

Oh, fine.

She and her father could be part of the
setup. She could be letting them use

her. Yeah, but what if she's not?

Hurry up, fellas.

Make up your minds.

Phyllis!

What are you doing here?

I came to warn you.

Do you believe her?

Don't put it on me.

Make up your minds.

Now I'll give you half a minute.

And if you don't come out, the girl
dies.

She could be lying.

Yeah.

Even if she's not, we hardly know her.

Yeah. So, uh, what she to us?

Not a thing.

So?

So?

What does he say now?

Says they've captured the Mavericks and
Miss Hewlett.

Captured them?

Who has, the Marshal? No, Belden and
Clay.

What did they do that for?

I said follow them.

What's Miss Hewlett doing there?

I don't know.

What about the Marshal?

I'll see.

What'd he say?

Says what Marshal?

What marshal?

The Denver marshal, you numbskull.

I know that.

Of course you know it. Tell Belden.

What'd they say?

Denver marshal, you numbskull. Who's a
numbskull?

No, no, not you. That was a message.

Oh, Denver marshal?

I don't get it.

What's he got to do with it?

I don't know.

You think maybe he showed up and stopped
Cap?

Don't ask me.

Better ask Ryan.

Wants to know, is the Marshal in
Stopgap?

In Stopgap?

But he said the Marshal was making...
Here, look at him. I've got to find out

what's going on.

Well, I don't know how to work that
thing.

Why don't he answer?

I don't know.

He can't.

You pulled the wire loose.

What wire?

Right here.

Ask him why he thinks the Marshal would
be in Stopgap.

Well?

Well? Well?

Says, haven't you received our messages?

Marshal broke camp, headed for town.

Proceed with the original plan at once.

No. Sheriff.

Here are your keys.

I used them again.

You have some new customers in your
jail.

What's the idea?

You'll find out in a minute.

Hey, everybody.

Listen to me.

Now shut up and listen to me.

How many of you have money deposited in
the telegraph office?

I do.

Well, I've news for you.

The telegraph office is closed.

The safe is open and it's empty.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.

We want you to come with us. We have
something to show you. You too, Sheriff.

Just a minute. What is all this?

You'll see, we hope.

I can't see.

Melvin, is that you?

No, Deavers.

It's me.

With some of your customers.

Well, now, wait a minute.

Please. I can explain.

You go right ahead.

We... That is, I... Well, it's just...

Oh.

Oh, boy.

Here you are. Thanks, Sheriff.

Okay. Next.

Here's my receipt, Sheriff.

Three -handed, huh?

All right.

Signed and paid.

Here you are.

Well, that seems to be all of it. And
there's still some money left.

That's our money, Sheriff.

Oh, good. I was hoping there was some of
their own cash in the kitty.

Why? Now, you see, my cousin Bart and I
engaged in a $15 ,000 transaction with

your customers in there. And we would
hate to think it came from the honest

in this town.

You see, the temptation might have been
too much for us.

You mean you'd actually be tempted to
keep money that wasn't rightfully yours?

Oh, no.

We might have been tempted to give it
back. And if we did, we'd never be able

forgive ourselves.

Who is the tall, dark stranger there?

Maverick is the name.

Ride the trail to who knows where. Luck
