Got a group of sportsmen waiting in scalp lock. They want to lease the car

30 days.

Hunting cars will be a considerable source of revenue for our railroad.

Gentlemen, the Google engineering guarantees quality and delivery.

Mr. Calhoun, you have purchased the finest hunting car we've ever built. It

luxuriously appointed throughout. Why, we could even throw in a piano for you.

That ought to come in handy on a cougar hunt.

Including storage bins for 12 cases of wine.

She'd come in handy on any kind of hunt.

Now, when would you like to take possession, Mr. Calhoun?

We've got an engine and tender with us.

Get the pressure up, Dave, we'll take off right away. It should put us on our

own rails before midnight.

Right. Now, if you'll step into my office, I'll turn the keys over to you.

You won't forget to find a little touch. The painting of the name on the side?

Nimrod?

The assurance is total, Mr. Calhoun. The Nimrod you requested, the Nimrod it is.

Gentlemen.

Just a minute, sir.

Where do you think you're going? Over to the machine shop.

Do you have authorization for that? We work here. We don't need authorization.

Well, just a minute now.

310.

Beats me.

Can't beat the beauty.

That puts you down 8 ,000, Keller. I can afford it.

Trouble is, Kelly, you're too intense.

It's a game, not a life and death struggle.

Maggie doesn't play it like it was no game.

It isn't.

Maggie, it's a good thing this hunting trip is only going to last five days.

Given a month, you'd clean us all out to the last penny.

I don't play for pennies.

What is it, Wayne?

Mr. McDougal, this is Mr. Calhoun.

Ben Calhoun?

Heard of you.

Miss Maggie Briggs, Mr. Calhoun.

And I've heard of you.

This is Mr. Lucius Brady of Chicago, Mr. Burton Holt of Texas, Mr. Sam Kell of

Denver.

Well, Mr. Calhoun, what can we do for you?

Well, up until a few moments ago, I was under another impression.

But perhaps if you could all tell me what you're doing in here. What business

that of yours? We're going on a hunting trip, Mr. Calhoun.

And while we're waiting for our engine, which should be ready in an hour or so,

and our hunting gear, which should be here shortly, we're playing poker.

So what do you want, Mr. Calhoun?

Mr. McDougal, I sold this car to him a little while ago.

You're a little late, Wayne.

I just lost this car in a poker game to Miss Briggs here just a little while

ago.

You arrived just in time for the kill, Mr. Calhoun.

I've been negotiating for this car for several weeks. This morning I concluded

that deal, so you actually didn't own it at the time of the kill, Mr. McDougal.

Sell him something else.

We won't have another car in the yard for a month, Mr. McDougal, and Mr.

Calhoun wants this one right away.

He has a bill of sale, sir.

Tear it up.

I'm sorry.

I bought and paid for the car.

Well, I played cards and won it.

Give the man his money back.

I don't want my money back.

However, I could make a suggestion. You can take the money that I paid for the

car and give to Miss Briggs.

Mr. Calhoun, I could have purchased it in the first place, but I preferred

winning it. It's a much sweeter ride.

And we're going hunting in it.

Gentlemen, can we play?

Would you care to join in, Mr. Calhoun?

No. Well, thank you. Some other time.

A hundred dollars says the car stays here.

I'll take that bet.

Make a note of it, Barnabas.

Anybody else care to bet?

I open.

All right.

Now, you're not welcome to stay, but if you insist on it, then your pleasure is

going to become my business.

The charge will be $150 a day.

I believe that's the going rate for a hunting car.

And we'll give you five seconds to get out before we throw you out.

And who wants to bet on that?

Perhaps this will persuade you.

It covers all kinds of bets.

Yes, it certainly does.

And it's always a most convincing argument.

All right, partner.

Your arrival was very timely, God.

Doing my job, sir.

Nerve of that Calhoun fella coming in like that.

It's more like it. More play and less talk.

A thousand.

And a thousand more.

That's the kind of talk I like. I'll call it.

Beam's up tank full and we got plenty of fuel.

We got one slight problem.

Pusher. Why don't we throw him off?

He got a gun back there. Don't want to get anybody hurt. It's not necessary.

Let's get the police.

Take too long to fight it in court. They've got too much influence for us to

prove it.

We'll get the car over on our own line in our own territory.

That gives us possession, and that's nine -tenths of the law.

Let them try to prove otherwise in our courts.

It's just my yard man hitching up.

What the devil?

We're moving out of the yard.

Run away, sir.

Yes, I know.

said it was going to go.

Those three men ain't dressed like engineers.

If that's one more in the engine, then we're triggered.

Maybe the boss don't know what's happening.

You know, we'd better wire old Bates and tell him what to expect.

He'll tell us what to do.

Pardon?

Get back here and lock the front rear door on that car.

You're going to hold him prisoner?

I just don't want any unexpected visits.

like Mr. Calhoun has taken matters into his own hands.

Well, what do we do? We've got to stop him. No man can steal a train in broad

daylight and get away with it.

They're the quick and they're the takes.

And not every man can take advantage of the situation.

He'll be stopped.

Meanwhile,

Maggie's most impatient to continue our game.

Shall we oblige?

I'll have his hide for this.

It's locked.

I can go up the back and over the top and stop him, Mr. McDougal. All right,

ahead.

It's locked, too.

Why fret, Mac?

Calhoun's only starting us on our own trip an hour earlier than we originally

intended to leave.

But it's no longer a hunting expedition.

It's a full -fledged poker party.

Let's break out a fresh deck of cards.

We'll be in Dixon in a couple of hours.

Wayne's got a hold of the sheriff. They'll try to stop us at that point.

Make it through there, then we should have clear sailing the rest of the day.

But tonight we'll be on our own iron.

Or in iron.

What about that engine?

The engine we supplied Mr. Brady was never used.

Ben Calhoun used his own.

Did you see them attack that guard?

No, sir, but I did see them take the hunting car with my own eyes.

All right.

Looks like they'd be up to guard to take the car.

We were ahead to Dixon.

Now the train stopped.

Grand theft and kidnapping don't seem to be all Calhoun will face.

That man is gone.

We'll be holding Calhoun for murder, too.

I'll open with five.

I'm in.

Me, too.

I'm in.

I'm in, and I'll raise it above.

And 2 ,000 more.

Over.

Well, come on, Maggie. Let's see the cards.

Can you be a little straight, Sam?

Martin.

Go back there and go to the back door of that coach.

Knock hard.

What are you going to do?

Say goodbye to Maggie Briggs and the company.

Well, how are they going to get back from here?

Somebody's going to walk back two miles to Dixon to get a ring.

Well, somebody's going to be awful mad.

All right. Start it, Martin.

Take over, Dave.

Five hundred.

Five and five better.

Nervous, Kelly?

I'll get it back.

Call. Not if you keep hitting the bottle like that.

Now, what's it going to be, Maggie? Poker or advice I don't need?

What's the bet?

A thousand to you, Maggie.

I'll double it.

I'll stay.

Where are we?

We're just this side or a place called Dixon?

Come on, let's play.

No, I'm out.

Oh, what are you waiting for?

way to treat your host.

Get up and get back in your seat.

Go ahead, sit down.

Now, Mr. Brady, McDougal.

All right.

Did you also steal one of my engines to pull this car, Mr. Calhoun?

No, I got one of my own.

Now, I'm sorry that I have to inform you that we're going to put all of you off

Dixon. And I'm sorry to have to tell you we're not getting off.

But where are you headed?

Scout block.

I'll bet $1 ,000 you're arrested before you get there.

Whether I am or I'm not, you're not going to be on board to see it, Mr.

What's the matter with Scout Hill?

Is the wager too high?

It shouldn't take the workers.

Well, I find the wager no less intriguing than you are, Briggs.

So I'll accept it.

Make a note of that, Barnabas.

Yes, sir.

I'll bet another thousand dollars, even money, that you end up in the

penitentiary after the trial.

I'll accept that bet, too.

Barnabas, cut it.

You know, you're a very composed man, for what should we say, a train robber?

You know, I was just thinking to myself how composed you were, man, for a

squatter.

Now, in case any of you want to change your minds and get off, the doors won't

be locked hereafter.

All you have to do is pull this cord and we'll hear you up in the engine.

Till that time, however, the rate goes on just the same.

$150. You're an arrogant man, Mr. Calhoun.

I've been told that before.

I like it.

Ruben, I'll bet.

Well, I like it.

Thank you.

That'll keep me warm on a cold night.

All right, Martin.

Oh, this has gone far enough.

Surely you must be aware.

That Wayne has contacted the police about our abduction by now.

Must admit, thoughts crossed my mind, Mr. McDougal.

Matter of fact, to be completely honest about it, thought hasn't left my mind.

Good day.

Good day.

What an interesting man.

Very surprising, ma 'am.

Who is surprising?

Who, how?

We'll stop Calhoun before he gets to Dixon.

We'll set up a barricade at this spot.

No kidding, Dave.

There's more money back there than I ever saw in one place in my whole life.

Those people are loaded.

Loaded. Well, if they're as rich and as important as that... They bet thousands

like you and me eat peanuts, see? You bet Mr. Calhoun he couldn't take his own

car. Well, now, how are you going to cover that? The exchequer's depleted.

every cent we had to buy that car.

I don't expect to lose.

Sure is a good -looking woman back there, Mr. Calhoun.

I agree with you on that, partner.

Wouldn't mind playing a couple of hands with her.

Wouldn't mind that, Patel.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Life will be a long trip.

They play for blood, partner.

I never enjoyed a game like this.

You want to take over?

Sure.

Keep an eye on him, Dave.

Well,

I hope he doesn't get into a poker game back there. We may not make it, Mr.

Cowplot.

Want a bet?

Step it up or the train will be here before we get the barricade finished.

Everyone cozy?

Polka break.

The strain of winning a little too much for Miss Briggs?

Winning isn't a strain for her, Mr. Calhoun. It's a habit.

She's something of a legend in her own time.

Dance halls, orphaned young, and one of the best poker players in the West by

the time she was 20.

Yes, cards have taken her a long, long way since then, Mr. Calhoun.

Ranches, mines, gaming houses, hotels.

Lucius, would you please get it right?

I did not have my first wedding hand until I was 21.

Mr. Calhoun, may I fetch you a plate?

No, thank you.

However, if you've got a catering service, there's a couple of men up in

that might appreciate it.

Just a minute.

What's going on here?

A man kidnaps us, and you invite him to join our party.

I've kidnapped nothing more than my own equipment, Mr. Keller. Bought and paid

for. And he holds us against our will.

And we're going to treat them like an honored guest?

Quite the contrary.

I've said repeatedly that any of you are free to go at any time.

To such times as you choose to do so, however, I'm nothing more than an

unwilling host.

Mr. Calhoun, allow me to apologize for Mr. Keller.

He's not feeling in the best of spirits.

Would my host mind if I went to the observation platform to have a breath of

fresh air?

Not at all.

In fact, Mr. Keller, if you'd like to join her, you might find that's an

excellent place to jump from.

Are we just going to stand here and let him push us around like a bunch of hired

hands and do nothing about it? Not me.

When we get back, I'm going to take action against him.

On the contrary, I think he's an excellent host.

No, I'm inclined to agree with Keller.

How are you at cards, Miss Calhoun?

To put it modestly, fair.

I'm good.

It's a real pleasure for me to play a man's game and beat them at it.

Did you ever find a man you couldn't beat?

One.

But he died.

Small, meaningless cut.

Got infected and a real man died.

Love him?

He was my husband.

Well, I must confess, I've heard a lot of stories about you, Maggie Briggs.

I never heard about a husband.

I don't talk about it.

Take Sam Keller there, for instance.

Very little manhood there for my money.

But then again, maybe I resent most men because they're alive and my husband's

dead.

There was never one of them that could come up to him.

No offense.

I didn't take any.

You have style, Callie.

I'd be remiss if I didn't return the compliment.

What's that whistle for?

Somebody's trying to stop us.

Wayne must have gotten through to the police.

He's beaten, Lucius.

That's a big barricade. What do we do?

Grab it.

The train isn't slowing down.

That darn fool is going right through that barricade. We better get set for

crash. Come on.

Come on, mate.

You're not running against the car.

I'll get it.

Sit down.

Brace yourself, Sam.

We'll wire Fort Barr from Dixon.

The Army will stop Calhoun.

Well, we made it.

That'll keep you young.

Yeah, a few more of those and we won't live to be any longer, that's for sure.

The authorities must be notified all down the line there.

Now that the water's stopped while it's bent, we won't have to stop again for

Fort Barr.

Well, that's the other side of the junction where our tracks meet the Union

Pacific. That's right. We've got to get there before the Army does.

Fill up and pull out a steam, Dave.

I would have bet $1 ,000 he couldn't have made it.

I must remember to tell Barnabas to jot that down.

Switching bets, Maggie?

No, but I must say, Mr. Calhoun is making it more intriguing.

And I thought it was the fresh air out on the back platform that put the color

in your cheeks.

You know, this was originally a hunting trip.

But for Maggie, I think the game has changed from beast to man.

Come on, come on, let's play cards.

The winners philosophize and the losers cry deal.

Thank you, Maggie.

I'll admit I'm not as set up as well as you, Lucius. I didn't make my fortune

gun running for both sides during the war.

I have what we might call big city taste.

I'm a hedonist, even sybaritic if you like.

And it costs money to indulge, Sam.

Strain getting to you, Keller?

You're no luckier than I am.

In stride, in stride. I don't get nervous about losing.

Oh, I confess I prefer hunting to cards, but I'm too good at both.

Cards may not always fall the way I want them, but I can always drop a moving

buffalo at 100 yards.

Buffaloes are slow -moving and ungainly.

Characteristic of a lot of men, I know.

You have a barbed tongue, miss.

Are your acid observations specifically directed at me?

No. She means me.

Do forgive me, Sam.

Insecurity makes me nervous.

All right.

I'll level with you, Maggie, and with the rest of you.

There isn't much in the kitty.

What do you mean, Sam?

I mean just that.

This hunting trip was my last hope.

I was hoping to win and win big at poker.

Without it, I stand to lose pretty nearly everything.

Can't think much of a man who has to win money from his friends.

You can afford to lose.

You inherited a fortune never worked a day in your life.

Since we all seem to be letting our hair down, I have a confession to make, too.

There isn't much left of what was left to me. But I expect to bounce back.

That's the chance I'm hoping for. A chance to win my money back.

Do you have anything more you can put up?

My ranch.

Putting up my ranch.

I'm sorry. I cannot go along with that, Sam. That is not betting. That's

suicide. That's what I'm putting on the line.

Sorry.

If it's the reimbursement for the hunting trip... No, it's cards. I want

cards. I cannot give it. Cards.

All right.

How much is your ranch worth?

$75 ,000.

I'll be happy to give you all the chips you need up to that amount, starting at

$25 ,000.

Lose a car to Maggie, win a ranch from you.

Sure.

Lucius? Only for the joy of winning. Money's important, but secondary.

But there's always the pleasure of the chance.

Deal.

Open for a thousand.

And five.

I'm in.

In.

Everybody's in. Card.

Three.

Card.

One.

Three, please.

5 ,000.

And five.

A car's colder than a whale's heart.

Lose a car and don't win a ranch.

A whale's heart goes to me, too. Out.

And that's for me.

5 ,000.

And 10 ,000 more.

Well, Maggie, you calling?

What have you got?

I called you.

Air bases.

How's it

going?

Didn't you work up a bit of perspiration?

I had a hunch you had him beat.

Your hunch was wrong.

You want to bet?

Well, that wire set the train left an hour early.

We just set ourselves a win against you. What about those three guys up in

front? What do we do with them?

They cooperate.

Or else.

All them millions riding this rail. The boss sure set this one up.

Any one of them we hold will bring us a fortune.

We're going to have to figure a way to take Calhoun.

Sooner or later, he's going to drop us in the middle of nowhere.

I have an idea.

What do you have in mind, Maggie?

Just wait and see.

It's that bell again, Mr. Calhoun. I heard it.

Maybe they're ready to talk then at this time.

Keep that pressure up.

that you wouldn't have gone through that barricade. You would, huh?

Well, maybe that'll teach you not to bet against me in the future. Oh, I'm not

quite at that point, Mr. Calhoun.

I still say you'll never reach Scalpa.

And I'm willing to double my bet that you don't.

You're on.

Champagne?

No, thank you.

However, I'm sure you didn't call me back here just to invite me to have a

drink. Mr. Calhoun, why don't we play for the car? And that way we'll settle

once and for all.

And if I win?

We'll all get off at the next station.

Hold on, Maggie.

Oh, stay out of it. Hold it. It's her car to do with as she likes.

One cut.

High card wins clean and fast.

The only problem is, as I see it, that it's not your car to do with as you

It's mine.

Which leaves you nothing to put up.

No.

However, if I were going to cut,

That would have been my car.

Now I think the time for playing games is over.

Sorry to have to inform you that we're coming up to Wiley's Bend. That's a

stop for us.

And that'll be where I have to put each and every one of you all.

I'd like to say just one thing, and I sincerely mean it.

That had we met under other circumstances, it would have been a

each and every one of you.

Good day.

Right in the middle of nowhere.

I hear it coming.

How far off? How would I know? It's coming. Everything's working at just the

time. Get them into position.

There's the water tower.

Don't forget.

Treat me just like the other.

Yes, sir.

What is this? Who are they?

It's a posse of some kind, I'm sure of it.

The law officers must have gotten word through to Wiley's men.

Well, that's a relief.

You know, I may have won a bet, but I feel kind of sorry.

What will they do to him?

Well, of course, then you'll have won your bet, Maggie.

What do you want?

Just hold it right there.

Hurley, get their guns.

I see we ain't got any.

All right, now you got some people in that car back there.

You cooperate, you stay alive.

Yet don't you get dead.

Now, we don't have to kill anybody if we don't want to.

Harley, Jake, keep an eye on them.

Better let off a little of this pressure or we're going to blow up.

Go ahead.

Everybody

quiet

and nobody gets hurt.

What's going on?

Is this a robbery?

We're in the ransom business.

Now move.

Now move.

You can't get away with this.

That's exactly what we have in mind.

Move!

Well,

the pressure's up.

All right, get moving.

You, get this.

I'll say it once.

Fire up and get going.

First stop, notify the authorities what's happened.

But we'll take it from there.

Everybody in one piece.

Mr. Calhoun, we're all in your debt.

You have been all along.

All right, you two. Take him over to the car and tie him up.

Dave, you and Holt get a couple of shovels and get these men buried.

Barnabas, go over and get the engine filled up with water.

How can I thank you, Mr. Calhoun?

You just open up your mouth and say it.

You might be surprised how easy it'll come out.

Well, I'm very grateful for all of it.

Please take the car. You've earned it.

Well, it'll be twice I've purchased it, Miss Briggs.

At any rate, I'm glad we're back in each other's good graces. It'll make the

last lap a good eel easier.

And I hope without any more trouble.

What do you mean by that?

Obviously, somebody's been tipped off to the valuable cargo we're carrying.

What are you planning for us now?

Take it to the junction where our tracks meet the Union Pacific.

You can get your train there back to Denver.

Agreed. Please join us in our car.

Your car.

Don't know what we would have done without you, Mr. Callow.

Well, now that this is all over, I wouldn't trade this experience for the

I could have done without it. Very nicely.

However, I'm glad it all turned out nicely.

Why don't you keep this, Mr.

Brady? Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm sure you'll hand me with a pistol and item. I

insist you keep it as a measure of our faith.

We're well covered up front.

And considering what's already happened on this trip, I'd feel better if you had

it, just in case anything happened between here and the junction.

All right.

Why don't you join us in the game of cards?

Thank you. I'd like to. It's still a business trip for me.

Mr. Calhoun, have you ever thought of going into the ranching business?

I'm in the railroad business right now.

Well, if you ever get tired of it, drop by my way.

You remind me of a certain part.

He was like you in a lot of ways.

He handled all of our enterprises.

So that when he died, I lost a manager and a husband.

Ever since then, I've been looking for someone to take his place.

Whose place?

The manager's or the husband's?

Well, at the moment, the manager's.

Well, I'll remember that if I ever get tired of the railroad business.

Isn't the railroad business very chancy?

So's poker.

No, poker's a game of skill.

So's railroad.

Obviously, a skill that I haven't developed as yet.

Tonight. We still have time for a round of poker before we get to the junction,

Maggie. Holt? Yes.

All right.

Card?

One, please.

One. Two.

One for the dealer.

Everybody stay seated.

You?

Yes, me.

You tied up my friend. Now you can untie him.

The game isn't over yet.

Anyone moves, use it.

I'll be a gun.

You two stay in the cab.

I want you back in the car.

Move.

Two players straight or he gets a bullet in the back.

Please, Mr. Calhoun.

Lock both doors and meet me in the cab.

Get over there.

You people stay put.

Come on, get back.

sticks their head out that window, then I'm going to have to bring it back.

Get back.

Train's stopping.

What do we do now, Captain?

Put it in reverse.

We're going back to Wiley's bed.

We're backing up.

Did you hire that... guide McDougal. I have bulls all over my yard. I can't

remember them all. Oh, what difference does it make now? He told Dee they

him and ran him in. Well, check up next time, Mac. We're a gold -plated guest

list and a natural target for just what's happening.

I'll remember next time.

You have something in mind, Kellman?

The rod that goes to the brake?

Uh -huh.

Say one thing for you, McDougal. When you build a car, you build it to last.

It's about to give me the rope that guard was tied.

Grab ahold of your twist.

It's working. There's a fire.

You got a blazer? Where?

Hunting car, right in front of the axle.

Stop the plane, man.

After the audience, everybody do exactly as you're told.

how to put that out?

Yeah, I'll put it out with some steam.

Do it, mister.

This is just in case you get any ideas with that steam.

All right, Barnum, turn it on.

Let's get it cleaned up.

Everybody all right? Fine, thanks to you.

Mess, huh?

Well, it looks like the damages should come to somewhere around $1 ,000.

My contract specified safe delivery.

I expect McDougal and company will live up to that contract.

Cheerfully. If we could find enough chairs in this mess, we could continue

game to the junction.

That's what you paid off your bets.

$3 ,100.

Cheerfully.

Will you join us in the game now, Mr. Calhoun?

Double or nothing on damages.

Cheerfully.

I look forward to this. You're going to have to redistribute these.
