You wanna meet me. Here I am.
My name's Bret Maverick.

I don't wanna meet you.
I wanna wreck this town.

And what're you
gonna do about it?

Maybe I'll help ya.

If you're a gambling man.

Easy. Just a deck of cards.

I've got a proposition to make.

One hand of poker.

If the law wins,
you go to jail for one day.

If the law loses,
you have complete freedom

to wreck the town.

- The whole town?
- The whole town.

[gun fire]

[gun fire continues]

'Here he comes again.'

[gunshot]

Your deal.

It's gone too far, judge.
Something has to be done.

You want me
to appoint you sheriff?

Job's been open
since 8 o' clock this morning.

- Sell out. That's what I'll do.
- Who'll buy?

Your deal.

That's all for me, gentlemen.

I wanna live
to enjoy my winnings.

[horse neighing]

My horse.

- I don't believe it.
- With one punch.

That's our man.

Smitty, ask the gentlemen
to join us in the office.

Take care of Bill.
Get rid of that horse.

Where can I cash in my chips?

- Follow me.
- Thank you.

[knock on door]

Come in.

Good evening, gentlemen.

You don't look as happy
as the people out there.

Is 5000 too big a buy?

You pack a wallop
in that right hand, Maverick.

Never thought I'd live to see

the lights go out
on Bill Ferguson.

Well, as my pappy always said.

"Worst crime a man can commit
is to interrupt a poker game."

If you'll just cash
these in, I'll be on my way.

Go ahead, judge.

Mr. Maverick.

We'd like to make you
a proposition.

Always ready for a proposition.

- Long as there's money in it.
- There's money in it.

But there are
important things in life.

There are?

The sense of duty,
help to ones fellow man.

We lost
our sheriff this morning.

He was a worthless no good.
You know the kind.

- Oh, very well.
- He hightailed it.

Drank up all my whisky on a tab
and ran like a jack rabbit.

'We ever find him,
the judge'll put him away'

'for a month of Sundays.'

Mr. Maverick, we'd be honored if
you would be our sheriff?

- Me?
- Oh, why not?

Well, gentlemen,
I'll never forget this honor.

If I could
just have my money now.

Just six months and we'll
have a law abiding town

and you can be on your way.

'Think it over a moment,
Mr. Maverick.'

There's almost $5000 there.

Jonah, you finished up
with that paper?

Wrote it
just the way you told me.

Sign here, Maverick.

"Bret Maverick, agrees to be
the sheriff of the town

"of Duck N Shoot
for a period of six months

"commencing the date
of this piece of paper.

At a regular rate
of $84 a month."

What's wrong with you people?

Mr. Andrews, are you willing
to repeat your charge?

Well, it's not exactly
my charge, judge.

But, it's come to my attention

'by a reliable source
that some, uh..'

Go right on, Mr. Andrews.
Feel free to speak.

Well, there was some cheating
in that gambling game.

Cheating? Now wait a minute..

Are you really a judge?

- Gentlemen?
- Why of course he's a judge.

This is blackmail.

- That's a serious charge.
- What's a serious charge?

Blackmail.

Just give me
my money if you don't mind.

With blackmail and cheating,
I'm afraid the investigation

will take quite some time.

What investigation?

Why the investigation of these
charges, Mr. Maverick.

(Jonah) 'I'll gladly head, the
investigating committee, judge.'

Thank you, Jonah.

How long do you
anticipate it will take?

Ooh, I'd say about six months.

'It'll be might difficult
finding some of those players.'

You understand, Mr. Maverick
I'll have to impound the money.

Don't worry, my safe's one of
the best for miles around

even better than the bank.

I'm sure, the end of six months

you'll be able
to leave with your money.

Judge, you and your friends are
forgetting one little item.

What's that, sheriff?

I've never had any experience in
this sort of thing what so ever.

And what happened out there,
that was an accident.

What do you mean?

The horse did it.
I didn't hit him.

Besides I'm unreliable.

I'm a terrible shot.

And this I mean most sincerely..

I have been, for as long
as I can remember, a coward.

Do any of you
doubt my selection now?

I read somewhere once
that a truly great man

is never satisfied with himself.

Judge, you're a keen observer.

Thank you, Andrews.

My money.

After the investigation,
sheriff.

As my pappy always said..

"If you know a mans weakness,
you know the way to his heart."

Your pappy was a smart man.

Wear this is pride
and dedication.

[instrumental music]

Morning.

You like the pictures?

That there is Pat Garrett
big law man.

He got Billy the Kid, you know.

I'll fetch you a cup of coffee.

'I'd don't think
I'd care for any.'

You do the cleaning up
around here?

Yep, coffee's always
strong and hot

every morning exactly at seven.

[gun fire]

- 'Wow-wee.'
- What was that?

Oh, the boys just warming up
for the day I guess.

The deputy's suppose
to fill me in on some details.

What time does he get here?

Oh. I'm the deputy.

You're Billy Waker?

Yeah, William Leonard Waker.

Better know as Billy.

Believe I will have a cup
of that coffee, Billy.

How long have
you been deputy, Billy.

Oh, times sort of
passing me by now and then

but it's been quite a spell.

You're the 23rd
sheriff I worked for.

Why don't they give you
a crack at the job?

Pass my prime, I guess.

But quite a nice thing
for you to say, sheriff.

I don't mind being
second best man in the town.

[gun fire]

Here's to law and order.

May it always be
our guiding light.

[instrumental music]

Little weak for you?

No, it's just right.

Well, guess
we'll make the rounds first.

Rounds in this town?

How do you expect
to bring law and order?

Billy, the way I look at it, you
don't go looking for trouble.

If you do go looking for
trouble, you might find it

there's always
a killing or two, right?

And if there's a killing or two,
there's no law and order. Right?

But..

[instrumental music]

You know, you may have
a point there, sheriff.

You want me to fill you in
on the bad characters.

Well, naturally.
Then I'll know where not to go.

You understand.

I think I do.

Well, first there's
them trail herders.

They're the worst of them all.

They're the ones that started
that ruckus yesterday.

[gun fire]

That must be Bimbo.

- Bimbo?
- Meanest of the lot.

He always wants
to try out the new sheriffs.

Oh, yes, another thing.

Bimbo's brother was the man
you knocked out last night.

[gun fire]

[gun fire continues]

Yeah!

Is this kind of thing
normal here?

It's a busy little town.

Let's not exaggerate.
You certainly pick them.

Yeah! Yeah!

[gunshot]

Bimbo doesn't know
about Maverick.

If I'd have know
he was gonna start early

I could've sold a 100 tickets.

Sheriff.

I thought maybe,
I'll let him tire himself out.

- Bimbo never gets tired.
- Then he's not human.

[gunshot]

Sheriff doesn't have
any rights to arrest

anybody that's not human.

Hey, where's that new sheriff?
I heard he's pretty tough.

[gunshot]

[instrumental music]

(Bimbo)
'Yeah!'

[intense music]

'Yeah.'

Hey, sheriff, come on out.

Come on out and get it.

Go get 'em, sheriff.

[dramatic music]

Come on, don't stand there.
Go get him.

This maybe interesting.

Where've you been?
Didn't you hear me call?

I was up late last night, Bimbo.

Yeah.

Well, just exactly
what was it you wanted?

I've been looking for you.

Well, you don't even know me.
What're you looking for me for?

You wanna meet me. Here I am.
My name's Bret Maverick.

I don't wanna meet ya.
I wanna wreck this town.

And what're you
gonna do about it?

Maybe I'll help ya.

If you're a gambling man.

Easy.
It's just a deck of card.

I've got a proposition to make.

One hand of poker.

If the law wins,
you go to jail for one day.

Nobody puts Bimbo in jail.

If the law loses,
you have complete freedom

to wreck the town.

- The whole town?
- The whole town.

I'll be in my chambers
if they're still there.

How do I know,
if it's fair and square?

The deck's still
got a seal on it.

Where are we
gonna play this hand?

Right over in my office.
Nice and cool and comfortable.

How about a Langhorne
supply store?

He's always been
charging me high.

Is that included
in what I can bust?

That's included
till your hearts content.

I don't like it in there.
What's wrong with right here?

What ever you say.

I'll break the seal.

It's a beautiful day, isn't it?

And I'll shuffle.

Wait a minute. Don't you think
we ought to cut for deal?

What's the matter,
don't you trust me?

Go ahead, cut.

Eight.

Six.

I've been wanting to do this
for a long time.

What? Play poker?

Tear this town apart,
without hating myself for it

the next day.

- I can't guarantee that, Bimbo.
- You already have.

You're the law
and you're making it legal.

Now, wait a minute.
Mind if I cut 'em again?

Just to make this legal.

[instrumental music]

How many you want?

Three cards.

Dealer taken four.

[pleasant music]

What you got, Bimbo.

Two pairs of kings and fours.

Three nines.

- Three nines?
- Lock him up, Billy.

Maybe he'll work out
the same arrangement with us.

When the time comes.

Forgive me, Mr.Hoyle.

Now, her highness is happy?

And we can start our meeting.

Have you heard anything?

Cattle will be back
with the profits within a week.

15,000, like you said?

More like 20.
They had a good drive.

Lost only 40 head.

I know we signed
Missy for the job.

But the more I size this town
up, what can she do to help us?

I don't know.

- A deal's a deal.
- You can go back to Denver.

We'll deliver your cut.

That'll be very
trustful of me, wouldn't it?

I want my cut.

And I'm not doing any waiting
back in Denver for it.

One third of 20,000
and don't you forget it.

You've a lot of casing to do on
the bank, haven't you?

In this town, we can do it at
high noon without any trouble.

- But there is a sheriff.
- We've all seen him.

- Nothing to worry about there.
- I don't know.

There's something
peculiar about him.

He doesn't seem to act the way
a sheriff is suppose to act.

Exactly. Why take a chance.

If he finds out, what you're
up to the whole thing

could blow sky high.

And what could you do?

Just what Fred hired me to do.

Make sure he's occupied.

When you two are.

[dramatic music]

♪ When we fit with
General Grant ♪

♪ Oh the bear

♪ Over the mountain
to see what he could see ♪♪♪

Don't you ever go home?

Every night.

This is a bad apple.
This one.

He's never been on the straight
and narrow since I've come here.

Sweet dreams, Herman.

Hey, Billy.

Does Judge Hardy keep
his safe in his office?

Sure does. Been there 12 years,
ever since the judge been judge.

Well, lot of
important papers kept there?

The very backbone of
the town on papers in there.

The judge don't trust the bank
to keep them papers in it.

- Bank looks sturdy enough.
- It ain't though.

It's been robbed
more times than I got years.

No need you checking it out.
If that's what you had in mind.

Might be a good idea.

Anybody who'd
wanna haul that away

would have to have
a new invention.

It's welded to the floor.

How do you shut Herman up?

Oh, he goes on
like that all night.

Just don't pay
no attention to it, sheriff.

[laughing]

Herman.

Here tape her off with this.

Good night, sheriff.

Good afternoon, Judge Hardy.

How'd your day go in court?

Sheriff, it went fine.
Less cases every day.

Well, I'm afraid
that's my fault.

I haven't been
making enough arrest lately.

I guess so.

- Have one?
- No, thank you.

Judge, when
are you gonna be convinced

that you made a mistake.

- Mistake?
- Appointing me sheriff.

What I told you
about being a coward

and having
no experience was true.

Listen, sheriff.

I don't hear anything.

That's exactly what I mean,
the sound of silence.

Sheriff Maverick,
that's your doing.

My doing?

You had us worried there for a
while but, then it happened.

The silence?

We've been making
a mistake for years

thinking that we needed
a two gun sheriff.

They needed was someone
like you to out smart them.

What makes you think,
I can out smart them?

Well, at least you had a
quieting effect on them.

Keep up the good work.
Oh, I almost forgot.

Here's your $84
for the first month.

We figure we can
afford to pay you in advance.

I still have to serve out
the full six months?

The full six months.

[instrumental music]

Six full months.

[dramatic music]

"To Bart Maverick,
Plaza hotel, Denver, Colorado.

Help. Signed
Sheriff no kidding Maverick."

Just one word in this message.

Gonna cost you the same
as it would for ten.

Then put in nine more "helps."

Nine more "helps."

[pleasant music]

Oh, pardon me, sheriff.

- You are the sheriff?
- At your service.

I hate to bother you
with minor problems.

I wish there were more of them.

I'd appreciate if you could
recommend a good place to eat?

I'm staying in the hotel
and they won't allow me

in the dining room
without an escort.

I haven't been here
too long myself but..

I was thinking
of opening an escort service.

Oh, sheriff.

That's very nice of you but..

- I'd be delighted.
- It's my pleasure.

Shall I pick you up
at the hotel at 7 o' clock?

Thank you, very much.

Ask for Melissa Maybrook.

And you may call me Missy.

[instrumental music]

Sheriff.

Sheriff, they're destroying it.

You got to do something,
Maverick.

It's Little George Roy
and Bimbo from triangle ranch.

They'll kill each other.

Maybe we ought to let them.

But my place
will be buried first.

Keep him out of there, sheriff.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[screaming]

I got 30 to 20 he'll get up.

You're on.

When Little George throws his
knee, nobody gets up.

Anymore bets.

[instrumental music]

That's the end of Little George.

[music continues]

I'm givin' even money
he gets up.

- Any takers.
- I'll take $40 of that.

Alright, sir, you're on.

- $40 of that.
- I'll take 30.

30 you're on, sir.

- I'll take this thing.
- How much?

[indistinct chattering]

'You're covered. That's fine
gentlemen, thank you.'

Yes, sir, gentlemen.
You got the 15.

That covered..

Thank you, gentlemen.

[intense music]

But there won't be
anything left of the place.

- Or me.
- I'll see what I can do.

Drag 'em apart.

I don't think that'll work.

Don't worry,
I'll take care of it.

[music continues]

I'm giving even money
that both of them get up.

I'll take some of that.

- 'I'll take 15.'
- 'That's yours.'

What?

You boys just keep going,
I'll make enough to retire.

You making money
of this fight, Maverick?

Any time you
and Little George feel the urge

you just let me know. It's
almost as reliable as poker.

You hear that, George.

The sheriff's
making money of our fight

and we ain't getting nothing.

That ain't right, Maverick.

A man oughta be allowed
a little pleasure

without having someone else
make... money of it.

That's what makes the world
go around Little George.

Well, this fight's gonna stop
and right now.

Come on, George, lets go
find a quite spot to fight

where the gamblers
can't take advantage of us.

- That's good enough for me.
- Let's go.

It's all knowing how..

Wait a minute, gentlemen.

They both got up, didn't they?

(male #2)
'He's right.'

To more enjoyable evenings.

I'll drink to that.

[pleasant music]

You don't act
like a sheriff at all.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

As my pappy always said.

"Try everything once
and if you don't succeed

then become a law man."

What did make you
become a sheriff?

Pressure.
Economic pressure.

I don't think it's worth it.

You didn't come to Duck N Shoot

to take my job
as sheriff, did you?

- No.
- Then why did you come here?

Oh, just traveling.

- And looking.
- For what?

What every woman
looks for, I guess.

She looks a little
too interested.

You'll never understand
a woman like Missy then.

[music continues]

Morning, Billy.

How about some of that coffee?

Past 9 o' clock
and the coffee's cold.

I'll mozy to the hotel
and get some.

If you see
that new lady friend of yours

ask her about her friends.

What do you mean?

I hear tell
she came to town with

Fred Leslie and Buck Danton.

Who are they?

They got a list of offenses
against law and order

as long as your leg.

It'll take a pretty tough man
to scare 'em away from doing

whatever they're planning on.

What makes you think they're
planning on doing anything?

Their type don't come
to town to settle down

and they don't let
no gal like that Missy

sweet talk you for nothing.

Maybe you better check 'em out.

I'll look into it, Billy.

[intense music]

Excuse me. You got a Buck Danton
and Fred Leslie registered here?

I was wondering when you'd
enquire about them, sheriff?

Yes, we have.

Well, they cause you
any trouble?

- Not yet.
- Good.

You'll find them
upstairs in room 17.

And Miss Maybrook in 13.

Thank you.

Have you boys
got your plans all made?

Tomorrow night.

I should have our friend
well in hand by then.

You'd better.

Find the bullets sitting in the
back of that badge he wears.

(Fred)
'No violence.'

'Unless of course that half bad
sheriff comes snooping around.'

'Come on, Buck.'

[intense music]

- Good afternoon, Bret.
- I waited for 20 minutes.

I was beginning to wonder
if you were gonna show up.

You alright, Missy?

You sure? You look like
you got troubles.

I do.
Oh, Bret..

I have a confession to make
and It's very hard to say.

'I hope it won't change
our relationship.'

It probably will,
but take a chance.

Have you ever heard of
Fred Leslie and Buck Danton?

Since 9 o' clock this morning
that's all I've heard.

I won't sit here and pretend
I've been and angel, Bret.

But I want no part
of what they're planning.

Neither do I.

Then you know?

I know they're up to something.

Why the sudden change of heart,
you came to town with them.

I didn't think
they were gonna rob a bank.

I was told
I could make some fast money.

They didn't say how.

Do you always go
into a venture like this

without knowing
anything about it?

Missy, I overheard your
conversation upstairs.

Your job is to keep me
distracted.

I had to pretend
to go along with them.

They're dangerous.

Mmm-hmm.

If I was still lying to you,
would I mention any of this?

Or that they plan to rob
the bank tomorrow at midnight.

Oh, Bret. I don't want
anything to happen to you.

The best thing you can do
is just forget you told me.

- But you're the sheriff.
- Yeah.

Maybe you should
stop them, Bret.

Me? I have it on reliable source
that Danton has killed

quite a few men already.

I don't know
why he should stop now.

What are you gonna do?

Frankly, I don't know.

I might even forget
about the $5000

and ride out of here.

Maybe you don't have to do that.

What have you got on your mind?

Rob the bank yourself.

What?

Don't you see,
that's the only thing to do.

If you took the money out
before midnight tomorrow

they couldn't rob it.

Then they'd have no reason
to stay in town.

'They'd leave.'

'And be out
of your way forever.'

Ridiculous.

And you could
explain your brilliant piece

of strategy to Judge Hardy.

And as a reward
he'll give you your money back.

- No.
- But, Bret..

No, absolutely. No.

[dramatic music]

- Is this the one?
- That's what the boys said.

Second from the left.

- Now what?
- Oh.

That's why it's been robbed
so many times.

Robbers keep putting it
back in the place.

No wonder Judge Hardy
doesn't trust the bank.

You first.

I'll be right with you.

[music continues]

- This is the president's desk.
- Where's the vault?

They never had one made.

Fred says
this used to be a saloon.

When business became slow, the
owner turned it into a bank.

We don't need that.

The feel of money
is like no other.

Watch the window.

Noisy, aren't I?

Ah, there it is.

Twenty thousand.

Exactly.

There we are.

Two hours ahead of schedule.

Danton and Leslie
oughta thank me

now I don't have to arrest 'em.

What are you gonna do next?

I think I'm gonna
sit up all night and wait

for Judge Hardy
to come in, in the morning

scream about the bank
being robbed

and I'll tell him my little
scheme and off to freedom.

Maybe we'd better
go back separately.

I'll see you in town, darling.

[dramatic music]

[mellow music]

Well, we're having
a party, Judge?

Kinda. Tryin' to figure
the best way to kill you.

I know there was something funny
about him all the time.

Now what did you
wanna be thinking

about a thing like that for?

Herman here saw you
climbing at the bank.

We checked, the money's gone.

Alright, Herman, you oughta
be ashamed of yourself.

You've gone and ruined my party.

And you've gone and ruined
my faith in human nature.

Where's the money?

Well, just be calm a minute.

It's 'bout all you've got,
a minute.

I'd hope to do this
in the morning but..

Do you know Buck Danton
and Fred Leslie?

We know what kind
of men they are.

Well, at 12 o'clock tonight
they're going to rob the bank.

Except that
there's no money in it.

That' right, 'cause I found out

about the plans,
took the money out.

For the welfare of each
and everyone of you, gentlemen.

'Then in the morning when
the money was discovered gone'

'I could come to you and say,
"no, Danton and Leslie'

'did not leave with the money
they left empty handed."'

And then in return
for the $20,000 you being

a reasonable man, Judge,
you would show your appreciation

by giving me
back my $5000, right?

All I know
is you're a bank robber.

- Where is the money?
- The money is safe.

You're not, where is it?

I'll give you the money

after I prove
I'm no bank robber.

You're in no position
to bargain.

If Danton and Leslie
show at the bank

you'll know
I'm telling the truth.

Alright, Maverick, it sounds
unlikely enough to be true.

We'll give you
a chance to prove it.

'Go ahead and turn over, Pat.'

[piano music]

Shouldn't be too long now,
Judge, it's almost midnight.

For your sake,
I hope they get here.

I heard 'em say so myself.

- Full house.
- Sorry, four fours.

Four jacks.

- I've had enough.
- That's it for me.

How 'bout you?

Oh, I'm sorry,
came to town with $5000

and if I try real hard
I might be able to put

enough money together
to buy a cup of coffee.

- 12 o'clock.
- How much you got?

- Eight thousand.
- Twelve here.

Twenty thousand
and twenty more waiting for us.

- Let's go get it.
- Okay.

(Missy)
'Fred.'

- Why aren't you with Maverick?
- Something has gone wrong.

There are men staked
all around the bank.

How'd they find out?

I haven't the slightest idea.

Maverick was supposed
to meet me at 11 o'clock.

When he didn't show up
I went looking for him.

It's too risky,
we better not take a chance.

But what about my time
and the agreement?

I know, you got
little money coming to you.

Now we did pretty good
inside the saloon.

How 'bout a hundred bucks?
It's really all we can afford.

Fine partners
you turned out to be.

Can't be helped.

But you're welcomed to ride
along till we case another job.

No, thanks. I was out
of my mind in the first place

coming to this wild cat town.

Goodbye and may
we never meet again.

[laughing]

1 o'clock, Maverick.

They're only
an hour late, Judge.

We've had
enough patience for one night.

Where's the money?

Don't be bitter.

Isn't there anything
about my story that touches you?

'The money.'

[dramatic music]

Right over here.

Oh, no.

Bret, you've really gone
and out done yourself this time.

It's that girl
I didn't steal it.

You just took
the money out of the bank.

I've explained this
till it's coming out of my ears.

If the girl gets out of town

they're gonna put
a thick rope around my neck.

But you get a trial.

I'm afraid
the Judge is little prejudice.

I'd like to stand here and talk
with you about it all day..

But don't you think
you oughta start helping me.

Well, what do you want me to do?

Well, get the girl and the money
and then get me out.

Brother Bret,
there's a little matter of $5000

that you've been
owing me several months now.

Uh, this is
as good a time as any

to straighten it out,
wouldn't you say?

I don't have the money.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, that is a shame.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
I do have the money.

Well... that is,
I sort of have the money.

I guess it's a little confusing
trying to uh, think in there.

There is the $5000 that
Judge Hardy is holding for me.

That's how I got
in this mess in the first place.

You're very weak.

Letting money guide you
in to such undesirable ports.

You can have the money
after I get it.

[chuckles] I'd uh, I'd prefer to
have you uh, write that down.

Well...
Judge Hardy's got the money

if you don't believe me ask him.

Oh, I believe you,
but my pappy always use to say

"son the next best thing
to money is

a man's name
on the dotted line."

And you forget
that he was also my pappy

and he said, "sign nothing."

Yeah, but uh, it isn't
too hard to figure which one

of pappy's proverbs holds
the most water at this moment.

You'll never live this down.

You got the money that bank
robber owed you, Mr. Dickson?

I'm afraid not,
but I haven't given up hope.

I always thought
big-time poker players

played for cash only.

[chuckles]
Times are tough.

We've been forced
to extend credit, bad policy.

I'll probably
be calling on him again.

Anytime before they hang him.

How's the food, Maverick?

Don't have much
of an appetite, Judge.

We want you to eat.

We want you to enjoy
every minute you're with us.

Did you talk
to the Maybrook girl?

- She denies everything.
- She was there with me.

She went through the window with
me, and hid the money with me.

Why is she sticking around town?

People who rob banks
usually run.

Your tial comes up tomorrow.

You can save your skin by
telling me where the money is.

I don't know where the money is.

I've heard of characters
like you. Figure to be out

in five years, then
everything'll be free and easy.

But you don't know my court.

Years from now you'll be buried
deeper than that money's hid.

[mellow music]

I do like a friendship
that ripens fast, John.

My dear, you have
a real talent for friendship.

Uh, but umm, even though
we are good friends I..

I don't know what brings you
to this funny little town.

- Business.
- Is it a secret?

No, I'm a professional gambler.

I never would have
thought that, John.

Not many people do.

Professional gambler has a bad
sound, it shouldn't though.

Not if you approach it strictly
as business the way I do.

Are you going to gamble tonight?

Yes, I think they've scheduled
a game for me at 10 o'clock.

- They?
- My backers.

You have backers?

[chuckles]
Yes, I never use my own money.

How interesting.

Oh, what do
your backers pay you?

Fifteen percent of the profits

and no interference
in the way I play.

You must be good to have people
invest their money on you.

[chuckles]
It's my business, Missy.

I have to be good.

I have a feeling you are, John.

Too bad you have backers.

I might like
to invest on you myself.

No, I have my deal set up
before I come in to a town.

Two cattle men hired me.

They just finished
a very profitable drive.

Uh-oh, I hate to leave
this lovely company

but I've gotta
meet 'em at 10:00.

- The cattle men?
- Mmm-hmm.

- Haven't you heard?
- Heard what?

The bank was robbed last night.

By the sheriff of all people.

Your cattle men's profits
have vanished, John.

Heard the bank was robbed

but I didn't know
it was there money.

They're probably
embarrassed bringing you

all the way down here.

I'm sorry,
I'm the one that told you.

Oh, no, that's alright.
I better go see them.

I have big plans.

You could be part of them.

Oh, no, it's a very
risky business, Missy.

I lose sometimes.

There's no time like the present
to get my money working for me.

I'd never forgive myself
if I lost your money.

Call it a hunch..

But I don't think you will.

I can never argue with a hunch.

Turn your back, John.

Hmm?

I happen to have
the money with me.

Of all the low miserable
dirty tricks you..

You sidewinder!

The Denver Bank checked
the numbers on those bills

it's the same money.

Well, now that I've been clear,
Judge, I'm sure I'm free to go.

On the contrary,
you've discovered

how the banks
been robbed all these years.

Danton and Leslie have left
for greener pastures

and Miss Maybrook
is where she belongs..

And I still have your $5000.

But, Judge, I'm gonna be leaving
with or without you consent.

You see, Judge, that money
doesn't belong to me anymore.

It's been used to pay off
a debt to my brother Bart.

And since you've seen
how he handles law breakers..

Now, just a second.

Besides he has the same attitude
for money that I do.

See you, Bart.

Bret, come back here.

Six months
we'll have law and order

and you'll have
your $5000, sheriff.

Worried, sheriff?

Don't be. I have
a very forgiving nature.

I'll find a way
to get us out of here.

With the $5000.

Of course.

I will think of something.

I'm afraid you will.

[instrumental music]

Where's your star, Maverick?

Pinned on a new man, Bimbo.

I'm sure you'll find him
in his office.

- Huh, a new sheriff, eh?
- Right.

Wow-wee, ho ho ho, ha ha!

[gunshot]

Bimbo is the meanest of the lot.

That's him now.

[gunshot]

He always wants
to try out the new sheriff.

(Bimbo)
'Hey, sheriff, come on out!'

'Come on out and get it.'

'Ha ha.'

Go get him, sheriff.

[gunshot]

'Wow-wee!'

'Wow-wee!'
