Now, let's calm down, folks.

We've just had a little minor accident.

Ben!

The boiler's blown! It's completely ruined!

That's what I mean. A minor accident.

All right.

If you'll return to the coach and be patient, I'll have wagons in here pretty

quick. Get you back to the scout block.

Needless to say, your money will all be refunded.

Thank you.

No refund, Mr. Calhoun. I have approved tickets to Gunsight. I insisted you take

me there.

I'm afraid the repairs will take quite a while, Miss... Nora Murphy.

I'm Dave Caron.

A refund's all we can do at this time.

You are aware that a public carrier forfeits the right to invalidate a

unilaterally once the passenger has moved a substantial distance from the

of departure.

Harrison v.

The Erie Canal Company, New York Court of Appeals, 1824.

Interesting legal point.

Would you care to explain it to our boiler? Let me put it plainly.

Either you get me to gun sight by tomorrow, or you'll have a lawsuit on

hands.

For a quarter million dollars.

What?

Not only a lawyer, Miss Murphy, you're a dreamer.

Would you like to see me in the witness box, Mr. Callahan?

Grabbing gently with my eye.

My voice breaking. A poor lone girl fighting a cruel, inhuman railroad.

Or shall we go to gun sight?

Hey, Bart.

Barnabas.

Would you fetch Miss Murphy's luggage?

Yes, sir.

Say, Fran.

Could you give the lady a ride as far as Plager Station?

Sure. Your train sort of blew up, huh?

Yeah, sort of.

Now, you can catch a stage to the gun site from there, Miss Murphy. Will that

do? It will not.

Am I to go into the wilderness alone?

Well, don't look at me.

I got to get in the scalp lock, get the money, and get the boiler fixed.

That's what a president's for, isn't it?

Thanks.

I'll escort you to Flagler Station, Miss Murphy.

Will that do?

I suppose I don't have to.

Thank you.

I'll try to get back before dark, then.

She's on a wagon, and one of the men from the railroad is with her.

I can hit some bows from here, Captain.

No.

We're here to stop the young lady, not to kill her.

At least not yet, gentlemen.

I'm just giving you facts.

It's a matter of fact, Miss Murphy.

I've never heard of any gold around gunfight.

My grandfather was a highly intelligent man.

Well, now, he may have been intelligent back in Boston, but anyone who bought

that Jericho mine just threw their money away.

He dug gold out of it before he bought it. Sure, sure.

It was salted.

Why, that mine has been pawed over, dug through, assayed, and it's worthless.

Or except to sell maybe to an inexperienced tenderloin.

That is a terrible thing to say.

Is it now? Believe me, Miss Murphy, if they had discovered gold in gun sight,

this road would be full of people.

I'd rather believe my grandfather.

That's fine with you. I've got no reason to lie.

There are those who enjoy upsetting people.

Oh, I believe there are. I do, indeed.

And as soon as we get to that stage station, you can say goodbye to me and

upsetting facts.

And good riddance.

Anytime. It's a shame.

Let's go, Tom.

When did the westbound stage pull it out?

Oh, it ought to be pretty soon now.

So take it to gun sight, please.

A two?

One.

One?

I've got a busted boiler and a stranded train to look after.

Thank you.

Well, I suppose I can manage by myself.

Well, I'm sure you can.

But on the other hand, you're very quick to be rid of me. I'll see you safely on

the stage.

Oh, and not one step further. Is that it?

What more do you want?

Let me remind you of your obligation, Mr. Tarrant. Under penalty of law, you

to escort me to gun sight, not ship me off like a parcel.

All right.

I'll escort you to gun sight every delightful mile.

Mr. Tarrant, let me make one thing very clear before we get on that stage.

I will tolerate no familiarity.

What?

Uh, is there a Miss Nora Murphy here?

Yeah, well, that's me.

Miss Murphy?

Yes. I'm John Bulworth.

Ah, Dave Terrence, my name. Of the BPS &D. I've just come from your train. I

heard of the accident, and I went there hoping to find you, Miss Murphy. Why?

Because of your grandfather, Thomas Murphy.

Did you know he's in?

Your grandfather spoke of you very often, Miss Murphy.

He was a fine man.

Thank you.

I'm afraid I treated him very badly.

Some time ago, I bought the Jericho mine as an investment.

I wasn't ready to develop it, so I sold it to your grandfather at a profit.

Two weeks ago, I learned that Jericho is a fraud.

I wanted to make amends, but unfortunately, your grandfather passed

I want to give you the money that Thomas Murphy paid me for the Jericho.

$5 ,500.

Well, that's very generous of you, Mr. Bohorn.

Not at all. I have a reputation to protect.

I'm sorry.

I know it's a shock.

Your grandfather never knew.

When the fever caught him, he died very quickly.

Yes, I know.

You see, I also came to see his grave and collect his personal things.

Of course.

It'll be a rough trip.

And a distressing experience for you, however.

Perhaps I could send his belongings to you.

No.

That's very kind of you, Mr. Bulwer, but I've come a great distance and I'll

finish my journey.

In gun sight.

Very well.

Mr. Turner, may I have a word with you?

Yes, certainly.

Will you excuse us, please?

All right, let's get a bit of stuff, huh?

Do you have any influence with her?

Uh... Not much.

The stage will be pulled out in a couple of minutes now. Thanks.

Her grandfather didn't die of natural causes.

The old man became desperate.

Tried a robbery and was shot down by the sheriff.

It sticks on my conscience.

She must never find out.

The disgrace.

You understand?

Yes.

I could lend you my buggy.

Is there someplace along the way you could spend the night?

I've got a friend, Ed Rainey.

What are you getting at?

Take her there.

Give her time to think.

I'm afraid Miss Murphy does her own thinking, Mr. Boer.

And I really wouldn't want to trick her.

I understand.

Well, I tried.

When you get to gun sight, please look me up.

I'll do whatever I can to help you.

Thank you.

Thomas Murphy was a dreamer, but I did like him.

Good day, Mr. Tarrant. Goodbye.

Miss Murphy, perhaps you ought to consider what Mr. Bulwer said.

I have considered it, Mr. Tarrant.

And I'll make my decision in gun sight.

Well, I believe the stage is ready.

Well, are you coming?

We're after the driver.

No!

Miss Murphy, what's this all about?

I don't know.

I haven't any idea.

Why didn't you take Bowie's offer?

I don't know for sure.

Grandfather was so positive he'd struck gold.

And you're so positive he was right?

If you're that eager to blagger to find man's memory, you can just walk away

from here.

Now. And leave you?

I am perfectly capable.

Of handling this stagecoach while fighting off a half -dozen gunmen?

Oh, get on the stage.

Why? Because otherwise, I shall pick you up bodily and throw you aboard.

Well.

I'll get you to gun sight. A friend of mine lives east of here. He'll lend us

some horses.

Horses, why, sure, Dave, anything you want.

What you got yourself tangled into? Come clattering up here on a stagecoach with

a pretty girl?

You might say I borrowed all this at Flagler Station, Ed.

Can you give us some help?

How many times do I have to say it? Don't ever ask me what you want. Just

me. All right, all right.

I've got to get Miss Murphy into gun sight. I'll need a couple of saddle

and some help through the hills.

Well, it'll be coming on dark by the time I round up the horses.

Ed, you got three right here.

Oh, they're only half broken. By the time we fix something to eat... Oh, but

on my account.

No, listen, Ed, just some biscuits.

Well, that hill trail's too rough at night.

Now, we'll chance it.

Well, actually, I couldn't swear it hasn't been washed out.

Ed, if you're going to help me, let's do it.

Oh, Dave.

I'm doing this for your own good. There's this gunfighter after you,

Miles. You get yourself killed.

I'm doing you a favor, Dave.

I'm just going to hold you for a while. For your own good.

Let me decide.

How long?

Just overnight.

Just so long as you don't get into gun sight before six tomorrow evening, he

said.

Have you got the stomach to kill me yet?

Slugging the leg would do just as good.

How much are you getting paid?

I'm just protecting you, Dave. How much?

A thousand dollars.

I'll double it.

He must be on to something pretty big.

That kind of money floating around.

Supposing I said $5 ,000.

All right, you got it.

Well, that come kind of easy.

I might have said $10 ,000. But you didn't.

I'm saying it now, lady.

All right, old friend.

Now, why is this Captain Miles after us? I don't know.

What happens at six tomorrow?

He didn't say.

I wonder if I'd have the stomach to kill you with.

I don't know.

They just gave me the money to stop you for a while.

We'll leave the police, Noah.

We're going to travel light.

The horse isn't a gun, Ed. I swear it, Dave.

I was hoping you wouldn't turn to me.

I wish I hadn't.

I'll saddle him.

High Creek.

It's not much, but I think we can get something to eat and get you some rest.

This is criminal!

Criminal is the word, miss.

Robbery and assault.

Why, every law officer around has had a warning on you two, including the notice

of reward.

Here.

Who put up the reward?

That's enough talking. You can worry about the details at your trial.

Mr. Tarrant?

Yes? Are we far from gun sight?

Quite a good ways.

Ed Rainey was a good friend of yours.

Was.

I'm sorry.

Have you got any family, Miss Murphy?

No.

My mother and father died early.

Grandpa, he was a wonderful man.

No,

he was fiddle -footed and a dreamer, always wandering off to the other side

the hill and coming out west at his age to make his fortune.

Miss Murphy.

I was just saying my prayers.

I included you, Dave.

Thank you.

Good night, Laura.

Good night, Dave.

I told you last night, and I'm telling you this morning.

I ain't taking you in front of no judge.

Well, I'm reminded of a similar case.

Rhode Island, 1810.

Sheriff Pickering had to certain John Mears into jail and neglected to charge

him. Mears fought it all the way to the Supreme Court.

Well, of course, if you want to go the way of Sheriff Pickering... I'd listen

her, Sheriff. She knows her law.

She got the BPSB over the barrel for a quarter million dollars.

What happened to this here sheriff?

Oh, he got eight years in the state prison for unlawful arrest and abuse of

authority. The difference is you people were arrested lawfully.

That's for the judge to say.

Not in High Creek.

We don't have no judge.

I'm the one who says what the law is here.

Well, will it allow you to tell us what the charges are?

Sure. Stealing a stagecoach, a team, and two horses.

One also assault and battery on Ed Rainey. Good old Ed.

Now, those charges were filed in Hutchins County, Sheriff.

Yep, I'm just holding you.

Oh, I appreciate you're a responsible man, Mr. Turner.

It doesn't seem likely that a construction superintendent, the BPS &D,

killing a horse stealing. But it's just not for me to say.

But we've done nothing illegal in High Creek. And you're holding us contrary to

the Constitution and the Supreme Court.

She always go on like that.

Mm -hmm.

And she's always right.

You know, you are. You're holding us illegally.

I warn you, Sheriff, the penalties will be severe.

Ann Rasmussen versus the state of Illinois.

Now, you be quiet.

You're speaking to a lady.

And I don't like a lady speaking back. Now, just finish your food, get back in

your cell, and I'll worry about the law.

Oh, I wouldn't let him bully me, Nora.

I certainly won't.

Let me tell you, Sheriff, do you realize you can be incarcerated for... I told

you, lady, and I give you a first...

Nice job of distracting me.

Oh.

Now you're really in trouble.

It's Murphy and Tarrant versus the town of High Creek, and we'll fight you to

the Supreme Court, Sheriff.

Nor as I recall, the town's just a couple of miles below the ravine.

Well, then let's get going.

Now we've got to give the horse a chance to breathe first.

You know, I still believe there's something valuable in the Jericho.

You know, since you've inherited the mine, what difference does it make? I

why is this Captain Miles going to all this trouble?

I don't know.

Well, Lord knows it can't be the Jericho.

Have you got the title of the mine?

I do.

May I see it?

Why?

Because it's Tarrant and Murphy against the world. That's why.

Here.

Murphy and Tarrant, if you don't mind.

All right.

Where did you study law?

Well, my Uncle Dan is a lawyer.

And what was that carrier case you threw at us yesterday?

Harrison v.

The Erie Canal Company, New York Court of Appeals, 1824.

Miss Murphy, do you happen to know that the Erie Canal wasn't even open until

1824?

So? So.

Oh.

My Uncle Dan owns a bookstore, which I manage for him.

A good many law students come in, and I've picked up the words in style.

I can also speak as a medical expert, but it's not so useful.

Well, to sum it up, I'm a liar.

Yes, I agree.

I'm greedy, chasing after money that may not even be there. That's a fact.

I'm...

I'll quarrel some suspicious and argumentative.

All of them.

I did fool you for a time, though.

About that much.

But what is that to do with it?

Well, to begin with, it proves you don't own the Jericho. But I will.

Well, just as soon as I appear in person in gun sight and have my title

certified. 30 days from the date of this contract.

Which is why I'm in a hurry.

The 30 days ends tonight.

Six o 'clock.

Then it is the Jericho.

I suppose we'd better be going.

Yeah.

Now.

ahead to make sure everything's all clear.

Davey, why are you whisking your neck for me?

It's just another service of the BPSD.

I believe you that much.

Wait here, Nora, and I'll signal you.

Captain, he's through.

And the girl is coming through now.

Gentlemen, there you see a very poor attempt at using a decoy.

But I suppose you have to give the civilian credit for thinking tactically

all.

Horse?

You may kill the man, but do not harm the lady.

Captain, I cannot get a clear shot at him.

Mr. Tarrant is very hard to discourage.

All right, we'll settle this in gunfight.

All right, I know somebody in gun sight who can help us.

I said get out.

Kate, is that any way to talk to an old friend?

A friend who threw one of my dealers off his train and broke his wrist? His hand

slipped, Kate, while he was dealing off the bottom of the deck.

And who locked two of my girls in the baggage car?

They attacked a minister.

Now, Kate.

Out, friend.

Kate, she needs a doctor.

Then get her to a doctor.

But there's a gunman named Captain Miles who's after us.

In that case, get out fast.

I don't want any trouble with Captain Miles.

Harry!

That'd be a king -size brawl, Kate.

If I get beat up enough or killed, the entire BPS &D will come down here asking

questions.

Forget it, Harry.

So glad you asked me to help, Dave.

All right, she'll live.

Nice girl.

Is the sheriff coming?

He left town about a half an hour ago with the county clerk.

Why did you come to me?

You were close by, Kate. I didn't think they'd look for us here.

I'm sorry you didn't come alone.

I'd throw you right back at them.

Thanks.

Anytime.

You know an Irishman named Tom Murphy?

Half this town's Irish, and they're all Murphys.

Except the Shaughnessys.

What about John Bulwer?

Sure. He's a businessman.

Deals in mine properties.

Is he honest?

He's sharp. But I've never heard of him pulling anything illegal.

Where can I find him?

I wouldn't know.

Could you find out, Kate?

I might.

Given enough reason.

We've had our difficulties, Dave.

But if the BPS &D were to change its mind, I could handle the entertainment

your trains.

Entertainment. Card sharks and girls.

Let the suckers worry.

Trouble is, I'm a sucker, Kate.

No deal.

No deal, no help.

Well, you may know some women lacking in modesty, but I'm not one of them.

She should rest and avoid excitement for a day or two. And if possible, stay out

of gunfights.

You can go out and play $10 worth, Doc. I thank you, Miss King.

What time is it?

It's a little after four.

How do you feel?

That's a fool question.

Look, if you'll just get out of here, I can put on my clothes.

Now, you heard what the doctor said. You're staying in bed. But it's less

two hours until six o 'clock.

Nora, you've been hurt. Next time you might get killed. I won't risk it. You

can't stop me, Davy.

You'd have to use force. Well, that's not going to do my shoulder any good.

Captain Miles has men all over town.

But you're going to help us.

Well, aren't you?

You don't understand, Nora.

She's holding out for a deal.

Well, how much does she want?

More than I can pay.

You can't take two steps on the street without my help.

All right.

I like your spunk.

I can't say I admire your brains or your taste in traveling companions, but I'll

sneak you out of town and point you at the Jericho.

It'll cost you $1 ,000 apiece.

No, by George.

I'll take the girl for nothing.

And it'll cost you $2 ,000.

Fair enough. I'll write you an IOU.

Not your own.

Draw it on the railroad.

That's in case you don't make it, Dave.

We don't like

What's this all about, Captain Miles?

It'll only take a minute, Miss Kate.

Where are you going?

It's Ben Wagstaff's birthday.

We're going out to surprise him.

Hey, why don't you boys come with us?

No, thank you.

Well, do you like what you see?

Because I don't.

Can we go now?

Now see here, the sheriff's a friend of mine.

Tell him about it, Kate. Who are you?

I, uh, I work for Kate.

What do you do?

Jimmy's a singer.

Thing. Thing.

What do you want to hear?

Your choice.

The camp town ladies sing this song.

Doo -dah, doo -dah.

The camp town racetrack five miles long.

Oh, doo -dah day.

I come down here with my hat caved in.

Doo -dah, doo -dah.

I go back home with a pocket full of tin.

Oh, doo -dah day.

Gonna run all night.

Gonna run all day.

I'll bet my money on a Bob Dale name.

I come down here with a hat. I go back over the pocket full of

10.

The Jericho's about a mile up that trail.

Got about, uh, half an hour. You make better time that way than on the road.

Good luck, Nora. Thank you, Kate.

Thanks, Kate.

I'll send you the pants.

I wish I'd said you played the banjo.

Hold it.

Drop it. Pop the gun.

Murphy? Mr. Tarrant?

See, I thought it would be much neater letting you get away from the others.

Be by yourselves.

By the way, I enjoyed your singing.

Yeah, thanks.

Will you tell me why you're trying to stop me from getting here?

Money, Miss Murphy, money.

I was hired.

Captain. Miss Murphy. Mr. Tarrant.

And a good captain put forth every effort.

Actually, I never thought you'd get this far.

You should have accepted my offer, Miss Murphy.

You'd have saved us both a great deal of difficulty.

Shouldn't you be moving along, Bulwer? It's almost six.

I'm in no hurry.

Then what does happen at six o 'clock?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Unless you manage to get to the mine shack by then.

But you won't. Then it is the Jericho.

Yes.

And if you don't have your claim certified by six o 'clock, Miss Murphy,

revert to me.

That's an unusual deal. And perfectly legal.

I've made these arrangements several times in the past.

But there's no gold, there's no silver in the Jericho.

So it's the old game of selling the dog you know will come right back to you,

huh?

That's a good comparison.

Actually, I'm in the business of selling hope, Mr. Tarrant. Then wishing on the

sale. That's a sharp accusation, Miss Murphy.

No matter what, I'll see that you receive your $5 ,500.

Captain?

Remember, Captain, this is a legal question.

No violence.

I understand.

Full worth.

Why? The final assay report came through two days after Tom Murphy died.

Copper in that mountain.

Not gold, not silver.

Just a fortune in copper.

The sheriff and the county clerk are waiting at the mine office.

On the remote chance that you might show up, Miss Murphy, I shall convey your

regrets.

All right, now what happened?

Well, we'll wait here until after six o 'clock, and then you and Miss Murphy can

do whatever you want to do.

What time is it?

Ten to six.

Is that for a cigar?

Yeah, thanks.

You mind?

Oh, no. Go ahead.

Match?

Thanks.

The sheriff's not far away.

The sheriff doesn't even know where we are, Miss Murphy.

Well, we'll tell him later. There'll be trouble afterwards.

There won't be any proof afterwards.

Besides, that's what I'm paid for.

Trouble.

How do you feel, Nora?

Not too good.

Do you mind if we sit down?

All right, you can sit down.

But I want to tell you this, Terrence. I don't want any trouble.

How much are you getting paid?

Enough, Miss Murphy.

Enough. Well, I'll double it.

Well, name your own price.

I've already gotten my price, and I don't want to hear any more talk.

All right, there's no need for any more talk.

Nora, I'm sorry. We did the best we could.

Can we go now?

What? It's a minute after six.

Nora, I'm sorry. Let me see that.

Ten minutes of six. I'm going to step outside.

But I'll be back before six, gentlemen.

Baby! Why are we running?

I reset the watch. We still have a quarter hour.

Oh, you are a clever man.

Title certified.

Of course, Miss Murphy. We were hoping you would drop in. May I see your

please?

Yes.

Where's, uh, Bulwer?

Who? John Bulwer, your local businessman.

Why, uh, I'd imagine he's attending to his local business.

And, uh, now should we attend to the papers, Mr. Tarrant?

Yes.

Except how did you know I was Mr. Tarrant?

It's almost six. Perhaps we'd better get back to the office, just in case.

Miss Murphy is hardly likely to show at the last second. I agree, Mr. Bulwer.

This is undoubtedly a great waste of time, ours and yours.

I think you're right. Why don't we go back to town?

Not yet. It's a very delicate legal matter. I'd prefer to be certain.

Miss Murphy, you stay right where you are.

The sheriff will hear the shot, Captain.

I don't want to, Tarrant, but I will if necessary.

Watch them, Tara.

No good, Tarot.

I've got men spotted all around this shack.

We've only a few minutes, Davey.

I'm a terrible shot, but not from here.

I believe you, Miss Murphy.

Nice going, Laura.

What's going on here?

Oh, Sheriff, I'm Nora Murphy, and I'm here to have my title to the Jericho

certified. And these gentlemen have been trying to prevent me.

All right, Miles, move over there.

Oh.

Two minutes to six.

Just in time, but... While the... Well, we were in sort of a hurry.

Now, if we could get this certified, sir.

Of course.

Never let it be said I'm a poor loser.

Congratulations.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be about my business.

Sheriff.

Oh, come now, Miss Murphy. You've won.

Surely a young lady of your character cannot be vindictive.

Oh, yes, I can.

I'm going to be as vindictive as all get out.

I think you're wise not trying to run the mine yourself. There's no job for a

woman. Oh, but I am going to run it. I'll be back as soon as I settle some

things. I appreciate everything you've done for me.

That's very kind of you.

In fact, I'd like your railroad to have the freighting contract for the mine.

Well, at your prime discount, of course.

Well, they get the prime discount. It all depends on volume. Perhaps you

understand that.

Oh, I understood.

However, gratitude or not, I get your prime discount for no deal.

All right.

It's a deal.

Good. And I've got a hunch you might make a go of it.

Sure enough, no doubt that in a year they'll be calling the town Murphy.

Oh, am I so forward then?

Yes, you are.

I, uh, better go up front there and check on the boat.

Good heaven, what was that?

Felt like the side rods.

Sit down.

They're overdue for repairs anyway.

It's not that bad.

Well, it's bad enough considering the hurry I'm in.

You don't understand, Ben. This time she's got a through ticket to Boston.
