Here's the guarantee.

You're to deliver 1 ,100 head of cattle
to Kansas City within three weeks.

No delays.

If you're late, you pay me a penalty of
$1 per day per steer. It's all in the

contract, which I've already signed.

It's also in the contract that you're to
put 20 % down in cash.

In the saddlebags, $3 ,300.

Count it.

I trust you.

Not to steal anything small, that is.

My men will commence the dive in the
cuttle down tomorrow.

See that you're ready.

We'll be ready.

Charming fellow to do business with,
huh?

You're looking at a month bare old and
enough left over to pay our timber bill.

Ben.

Ben, did you read this thing?

Every period and comma.

With all these penalty clauses, non
-performance, deadline.

This isn't a contract, it's an act of
war.

The knife cuts both ways.

We can also make a lot of money if we
deliver.

If? How do I meet the schedules?

We've got to rebalance roadbed. I can
think of two bridges that need bracing.

I've got all the confidence in the word
in you, Dave.

And I'm looking forward to a long and
prosperous association with Mr. Royal

McLintock.

Never did care for that bridge anyway.

So, one of your bridges fell down, eh?

It was smashed down by a few hundred
tons of rock.

Isn't that a general risk now, part of
the railroad business?

Yes, it is. Then I do not see what we're
here to discuss.

Well, it's a matter of this simple
agreement.

Signed before witnesses.

Since the PPSD is fresh out of miracles,
the only way we can get your cattle

from here to Kansas City is through
Angel Gorge.

Without a bridge, I'm afraid they'd have
to learn to fly.

Then I suggest Calhoun.

You set about learning ways and means of
training them very quickly before the

penalty clauses go into effect.

They go into effect in three weeks.

You're quite accurate.

A desirable quality in an engineer.

But it'll take us two months to get that
bridge rebuilt.

Aye. Figured in roughly that'll put you
about 40 days behind schedule.

Plus the 20 or so days to make delivery.

60 days.

And that $1 ,100 a day penalty, that
makes $66 ,000.

That's a lot of money.

Yes, a very substantial sum.

Disastrous is a word that comes to my
mind, a ruinous.

And you've come down here today about
ways and means of getting out of your

contract.

The fact is, I must hold you to it.

All right.

What's your deal, McLintock?

Deal?

In my experience, when a man has you
bound, gagged, got a knife in your ribs

he's still smiling, there's usually a
deal pending somewhere.

What's yours?

It's true.

I'm a sympathetic man.

So I'll offer to stand the loss of
goodwill on making a late delivery and

the penalties.

What do we do?

You give me a wee incentive.

To be specific, a wee share in your
railroad.

How wee?

100 %? Oh, no, not at all.

51.

51%. Complete control.

You'll find me a friendly and
cooperative partner.

I'll solve a lot of your problems.
Money, for example.

The answer is a simple one.

No. I don't see you have any choice,
Calhoun.

And I won't hold the offer open too
long.

Let me put it to you another way,
McLintock.

You're a vulture, coyote, and you're
about as honest as a snake.

Very well, Calhoun.

You sit in your railroad, and in 60 days
I'll collect my penalties.

I'll break you either way, but I'd
rather it was slow and hard.

That's what I've been waiting to see.

The sunny side of your disposition.

Get off my property!

Glad to.

And now I'm going to remind you of the
terms of our agreement.

You have your cattle at the railhead the
first thing in the morning.

Well, I won't deliver them to you. In
that case, you're in violation of your

contract, and my attorneys will be
calling on you.

Good day. Wait a minute!

Mr. McClinick didn't give you permission
to leave.

Move.

Throw your gun away.

Now I'm going to give you some more
advice, Lieutenant.

Next time you hire a gunman, hire a good
one.

See you in court.

Be careful, Mr. McClintock. I get very
nervous around now.

Calhoun! I think we've said all there is
to say, Mr. McLintock.

I'll see you at the railhead in the
morning with your cattle.

You ready, Dave?

I'm ready.

deals and say, good fight, huh?

Ben, what are we going to do with 1 ,100
cattle?

We'll deliver them, of course.

You know the BPS &D never welches on a
deal.

That Calhoun, he's mad.

He's planning to drive the cattle to
Kansas City.

Don't worry.

There isn't a good cowhand for hire
within 20 miles of here.

If Calhoun's going to drive those
cattle, he's going to be all by his

self.

One.

Fifty -two. Now make that another fifty
-two.

Is the tally all right? Yeah. Two over.

Seven hundred and two head.

Well, our garden was though they were
mouth.

I suppose in a way they now are.

Seven hundred and two head of cattle to
drive where we want, when we want, and

how we want.

Right.

Directly into bankruptcy, I hope.

Oh, it may cost me considerable.

But this little gumball won't lose you
your railroad.

We've got a great deal of confidence,
Mr. Clinic, that if any man gambles long

enough and the stakes are high enough,
he always stands a chance to lose

everything. And this time, it just might
be me.

In the meantime, you made a bargain. I
want to see if you stick to it. You're

not even a trail crew.

I'll invent one.

What if it gets me, Lancer?

Man, they're railroad men. The closest
any of them ever come to cattle was

repairing the cow catcher.

I'm not going to let this railroad get
tied up in a lot of legal machinery.

Then we have got a few experienced men.

I was trail cook for Colonel Goodnight
once.

See what I mean?

You want to know why it was only once?

I think you've said enough. We'll find
out the rest as we go along.

It's irrational.

It's a wild gamble spun right off the
cuff. Your favorite sport.

Well, I figured you wanted to stay here.

What? Are you trying to keep me off this
drive?

You said that it was a wild gamble.

Yes, exactly.

Speaking as a stockholder, you need one
sane human being along.

That's me.

Speaking as a majority stockholder...

Who do you think is going to run this
railroad?

Not to mention repairing the bridge.

Well, speaking as a stockholder of me.

Roy Hoy, listen, he wants to go right on
the line.

Roy Hoy, I told you before, you can't...
No, no, no, no, never.

Mr. Calhoun.

Dave, this is Hobie Trill.

Found him underneath the saloon table
and scalp lock and hired him on the

What's your problem?

Mr. Calhoun, go away.

Oh,

no. Never in my wildest dreams have I
ever seen a Chinese cowhand.

Beasons like that can't be overlooked.

He goes, Hey!

And

I'm

about ready.

Hello, Ben. Hello, Dave.

I'm not too late.

You want to go on a cattle drive?

Yeah, you bet.

How do you know about cows?

Since I was a little boy, they'd be our
farmers.

Yeah, I have milked many cows.

Yeah, well, the only thing wrong, these
are steers.

All right, you can go, but do me a
favor.

Don't try milking any of them.

Okay, Ben.

Quite a crew of men, huh?

Yeah, we've got ourselves a Swedish
dairyman.

An Irish gang boss,

a Cuyahoga cattle thief, an expert
Cuyahoga cattle thief, and Barclays.

Can't tell if he's an executive vice
president or not.

Slightest chance that you might finish
that bridge in less than two months?

Maybe. I've been working on an idea.

What is it?

Nothing to give me a greater pleasure
than to shove that hex down that

Scotchman's throat.

Now, hold it, then. I said maybe.

Now, I'm talking about a slim chance,
not a sure thing.

I can't rebuild that bridge inside of
two months.

The whole railroad cars.

But I think I can rebuild enough of it
so we can drive cattle over it.

And then we have the cars brought up
from Buffalo Pass.

Load the cattle on the other side and
we're right back on schedule, huh?

I said if.

Well, if you get it finished, you get
word to me and I'll turn the cattle

and we'll cross them over to Angel's
Gorge. I should know in a week. I'll

you down a messenger.

If you don't hear from me. If I don't
hear from you, then I'll head due south.

It's a gamble, Dave, but what have we
got to lose?

Outside of our railroad.

Take care of yourself.

Good luck then the crew like that.
You'll need it.

We're watching for your message All

right,

you are offenders we're moving out
Remember to move them slow.

Don't want to run the weight off of
them.

Let's go

I want you to stick close, small wolf.

Oh, come on. What's he know?

Everything you do.

So you stick with him.

Yes, sir.

Got him moving.

Aye.

We're a trail crew of clowns that'll
fall apart in the first day.

Did you block the canyon?

Yes, sir. He ain't gonna drive no cattle
through there.

Good. That'll end this nonsense.

I want Calhoun wrecked.

It's not a little thing, Gage, but
whoever owns that railroad runs this

region. You'll have it, Mr. McLintock.

I took this job for $10 ,000 hard cash.

Now I got a personal interest.

I'm going to skin Ben Calhoun.

I'm going to stuff his hide.

I'm going to give him to you to mount on
your wall.

I'll be well satisfied with simply
ruining him.

But I'll settle for naught less.

Well, what's more exciting than
breathing dust 12 hours a day, drinking

water, and eating... Well, now, I ain't
going to small about my own cooking.

You have fun?

Yes, sir, Mr. Calhoun. Well, then you're
shirking, so get back here and ride the

drag with Paul.

Yes, sir.

Is it getting more exciting, sir?

Yeah.

Okay. At noon break, I want a hot coffee
and a hot meal. No cold beans and hard

jack, you understand?

Yes, sir, Mr. Calhoun.

You get back inside there and quit the
plane.

Come on, let's step it up, huh? All
right, double time up there!

the estranged I've ever moved.

That Calhoun is a certified maniac.

Not a doubt of it.

So what are you doing here?

I'm another.

Giddyap or whatever it is you say.

We got trouble.

Rock slide at the pass.

Locked solid.

Cattle can't climb.

I'm sorry, Mr. Calhoun. The only way
around is a 12 -slot, and we might lose

maybe a quarter of a herd.

I am a cowhand. Well, we're not.

Donnelly, go break out the dynamite.

Can't climb over, we'll blast our way
through.

We could just get the dynamite under the
boulder.

Sometimes I forget.

What's he doing?

Cattle can't climb over cliffs.

He's going to dynamite that rock slide
and blow it out of the way.

Let him.

The explosion will scatter the herd over
50 miles.

It should be a very expensive stampede.

All he needs is a baby in a pen.

All right, you two clear out.

Ben,

if you have explosion here, those dumb
cows will never stop running.

Oh, yes, they will.

If we go about 100 yards, the boys will
be dropping sticks of dynamite.

That'll turn them and stampede them
right back through this pass where we

them to go.

Yeah.

Calhoun is a resourceful man.

Gage, ride to Angel's Gorge and see how
they're coming with the repairing of

that bridge.

Where will you be?

Following the very inventive Mr.

Calhoun.

I tell you a thing, Calhoun.

This one could learn to become a good
cattle thief.

There you are, Barnabas.

That's an expert's opinion.

Well, if I could live this kind of life,
Mr.

Calhoun, I might consider taking it up.

It is a good life.

The sky is big out here.

Gives a man room to grow.

Come back to air in the morning, the
morning.

Come back, Garoon, to the land of the
bird.

Come back to air in the...

Leave

your side, Connolly.

Look like a south end of a northbound
freight.

Well, it's a comfort to me. And the
beasties don't mind.

Rubbish, you surprised the complaint.

Meet public.

Here, Jack, take a look.

That's amazing.

Hey, Stud, you got another cup of that
stuff? Oh, yeah, yeah.

Ah, hello, Ben.

Jolly, Mr. Calhoun.

Thank you.

It's good so far.

Just like smorgasbord.

Mr.

Calhoun, we're about parallel to Angel's
Gorge now.

How about if I ride and see how Mr.
Tarrant's coming along?

He'd have gotten word to us if he'd have
gotten finished.

We can't be too sure.

Maybe not.

You can't keep dreaming with your eyes
wide open, Barnabas. He didn't finish

Just to make you happy, we'll wait over
till tomorrow morning. If we haven't

heard from him, then we head south to
Buffalo Pass.

Well, I wouldn't mind, you know.

It's kind of fun.

Well, here's to innocence.

You should lose yours about tomorrow.

Mr. Tant! Mr.

Tant! Raising timbers all in!

Wonderful shot!

Cut him in!

Come here.

Now, you get to Mr.

Calhoun and tell him he can turn those
cattle north. Tell him he can count on

using this bridge before the end of the
week. Then get your hide back here. Yes,

sir. Right away, sir.

Notify Calhoun.

What about it, Mr. Calhoun?

Either we head up Angel's Gorge or we go
south.

No, we haven't heard from Dave, so
evidently the bridge isn't finished.

We'll go south.

Start turning himself!

Turn towards Buffalo Pass, Mr. Calhoun?

That's right.

The big gamble.

We'll make it.

We'd better.

We run into any more delays, we run out
of time.

Wind up shy of one railroad.

Ha! He's turning in them.

That will do it for Calhoun. A hard
drive to a dead end.

The shoring's finished, but I... I'm
sorry, John. You're going to have to do

best you can. Pettyman should have been
back by now.

Unless that Ben's got him driving those
cattle.

They should be just about halfway here
right now.

You took your time.

Well, I was being careful because the
bridge... Doesn't matter.

Calhoun's turned the herd.

That's the end of it for him.

He's just about at the ravine now.

He must be real unhappy.

Aye, with reason.

That's the end of it for him.

We'll let him sit there quietly and say
goodbye to his railroad.

Too steep to climb, too wide to jump.

We can detour to the south, but I
believe it's quite a ways.

Well, if we can't go around, we'll just
have to cross over.

You just said it ain't possible.

No.

I said it wasn't possible for the cattle
to climb it or jump it.

Nothing to keep them from walking over.

I bring my axe, but for what?

For a shortcut.

That's good. I beat her at that.

Well done, Rocky.

Good job.

That

ought

to hold.

Oh, yeah. It will hold. I know it, and
you know it.

Those cattle don't know it.

Find out yeah, now we get one started
across the rest of them should follow

shall see You

see

seek out

Her stare just ain't about to cross
over.

Let's get the rest of the beasties.
Yeah, Connolly.

Will you look at that?

I am.

And it's a thoroughly unpleasant sight.

To drive 1 ,100 head of cattle with our
railroad crew.

Calhoun's a gambler, but he's more than
just lucky.

That tops it all.

Neal gets a little stubborn streak every
now and then.

Sure hate to get in the way of one.

We're over. Clear all the way to Buffalo
Pass.

Yeah, looks like we made it.

But then I always figured we would.

Well, his luck is gonna stop.

He's the man.

And it all stops when he stops.

Gonna be so stupid.

Calhoun's no passing drifter to be
gunned down and forgotten.

And I am Royal McLintock, and the days
are past when I depend on killing.

Don't be foolish, Mr. McLintock.

Why do you think Calhoun didn't drive
the herd to Angel's Gorge?

Because I stopped Terran's message.

You killed the man.

For $10 ,000, I'd kill a lot of men.

Gage, I do not condone murder as a
substitute for intelligence.

And forget the money.

I'm cutting my losses right here.

Let Calhoun earn his fee.

I'll have another try at him.

Another time.

You promised me that money, McLintock.

Calhoun's got a contract, and you, Gage,
you're having to prayer.

Well, boys, looks like we're out of a
job.

An end to a fortune.

There's a herd of prime beef down there.

All we got to do is go down and take it.

Let's go.

Mr. Calhoun!

You're making a late start, Calhoun.

Must be almost six o 'clock.

Is that what you came by here to tell
me? Not exactly.

I have a word of warning.

Gage.

Your top gunman? He's no longer in my
employ.

That is resignation you're wearing.

Aye. A man's no more than an outlaw.

And he's planning to come down on you
and steal the herd.

Thank you.

I appreciate the warning.

I do not need your gratitude.

I'm concerned about my cattle.

For which I must remind you I hold you
personally responsible.

You beat anything I've ever seen,
McLintock.

First you go out and hire a bunch of
gunmen and turn them loose on me.

Then you come running back down here
begging for help the minute they blow up

your greedy face.

Do not preach at me, Calhoun.

You've taken responsibility. I'm holding
you to it.

That's what a man does.

Stands up to what the world throws at
him.

I lost my wife of the fever in 68. I
lost both my sons in the blizzard of 75.

But I'm still here.

Yeah. Then on the other hand, who'd have
you?

I do not need your lichen.

Just remember our deal.

And what about the herd?

I'm not going to forget our deal.

In fact, I'm going to go a little beyond
our deal.

I'm not only going to deliver those
cattle, I'm going to deliver you with

Studge. Yes, sir.

I got a passenger for you.

Clean him off, patch him up, and put him
in the wagon.

Courtesy of the BPSD.

We got a problem.

We're going to be raided.

I want these men armed and put out some
pairs and one man to be on guard at all

times. You're going to have a good
fight, huh?

Yeah, we're going to have a fight, so
enjoy yourself.

I better write it on the head.

Go ahead, but don't get yourself killed
and shorthanded already.

Couldn't stop him, Gates.

That Calhoun, no matter how you stack
the deck, he just keeps on pulling out

aces.

McClinic just walked into camp, told him
you were going to jump the herd.

McClinic?

Well, it don't matter. He'll get his
with the rest of them.

Because you're going to make it all work
from the inside, Trailman.

Let's get the rest of the men.

Let's get these boxes after them.

He's been murdered.

The only reason could be to keep him
from reaching Ben.

John, put Pettyman in the tent.

Now the rest of you, saddle up every
horse we've got. We'll leave it in ten

minutes.

Okay, pass these up

All right, let's move out.

Oh, Mr.

Calhoun. I know, don't tell me.

It's a nice fight.

No, it was a beautiful fight.

A scurvy lot.

Speak to the man that hired him.

And speak to the man that hired him.

Suddenly comes to my mind that you owe
the BPSD $13 ,200.

What's that you say?

You do remember, don't you?

I also remember warning you about
running my cattle, working off weight.

You've cost me a small fortune
stampeding them. I don't believe it.

I just don't believe what I'm hearing.

We've saved your cattle, not to mention
your hide.

I agree. There's a way something do save
$5 ,000 and save 50 miles.

Now, you either pay up or I'm going to
load you on that boxcar, take you back

out there where we found you in the
middle of nowhere, and you can walk

That's a criminal threat.

Oh, not at all, Mr. McClintock.

It's our special round -trip passenger
service.

I wish you luck, Calhoun.

Thank you.

The worst kind of luck.

I'll be headed already.

Well.

Now, what do you think we ought to do
with all that wonderful money?

Well, how about the railroad?

We need rails, a new flat car.
Rebuilding that bridge will cost money.

Dave, you get the soul of a bookkeeper.

Why don't we start with a bottle of
champagne and maybe a poker game and

You've enjoyed a rock slide, a cattle
drive, and a full -scale ride.

How'd you like to have a small personal
war?

Nah, just a minute.

What railroad is this, anyway?

Ours.

All right.

But at least we can start with a bottle
of champagne. After that, if we have to,

we'll descend back to Cali.

Huh?
