"Colt .45."

Produced by Warner Bros.

From the entertainment capital
of the world

produced for television
by Warner Bros.

I arrived in War Bonnet
about four o'clock in the afternoon

My assignment was to meet a man
I didn't know.

Another undercover agent
for the government.

I'd been instructed
that he would approach me

and identify himself
by a sequence of numbers.

The numbers and their order
was three, and one, and two.

After the three-one-two
sequence identification

I had a very important
mission for him.

Notice the free easy freedom

of the cartridge cylinder,
gentleman

A perfect mechanical alignment.

But word of caution.

When handling your new Colt .45

never pull the trigger
on an empty chamber.

Release the hammer
with your thumb

otherwise the hammer maybe
jarred out of line.

I like that third gun.

No, no, I, I think that
number one gun looks better.

Well, three and one
are very similar.

This is my choice.

The second.

If you ever take that long

to decide on the draw, sonny

you won't need no gun at all.

You'd be too dead to use it.

Will anyone else care to buy one ?

Well, in that case, I'll take
the gentleman's order now.

Come with me, mister.

Mighty fine guns you sell,
Mr. Colt.

Well, the Colt .45
is the best gun in the west.

Couldn't have gone wrong
with any one of them.

Yes, I know,
that's why it was so difficult

for me to make a choice.

First, liked the looks
of that third gun.

Then the first gun.

And then the second.

I'm sure you noticed it.

I did.

You have instructions for me ?

The government's
moving a cash payment

to a tribe of Sioux.

A wagon will leave Fort Randall
with supplies

and the money
will be in the wagon.

How many soldiers ?

Maybe three. You shouldn't have
any trouble.

I understand you've had
dealings with that tribe before.

I'll see that
the shipment gets through.

You show this order
to Colonel Parker, then burn it.

I'll ride out tonight.

Alright, certainly a pleasure to
do business with you, Mr. Colt.

I'll telegraph the order
back to Hartford.

- Goodnight. Good luck.
- Thanks. Goodnight.

Good morning.
This just came for you.

I thought I ought to bring it
right up.

Thank you.

Will you send this right away,
please ?

Yes, sir.

Beats me the way these
salesmen fellas

compete against each other.

How's that ?

There was another salesman
in here last night.

Gave me $20 to hold up any wire

this fella Colt might send
for 24 hours.

You think I oughta ?

You got the $20, ain't ya ?

- Be dishonest not to.
- I guess you're right.

It's all a kind of a game anyway
with these drummers.

We were ambushed.

Two of them came down on us.

The third we,
we thought was our friend.

He shot us in the back.

I must have come to
just as they rolled away.

There were three of them.

They rode in three
different directions.

We never had a chance.

One of them's got the money.

Yes.
[t'll be hard to find him.

- I'll find him.
- That's impossible, captain.

You know there'll
have to be an investigation.

I'm sure you're not to blame
because your wire was delayed

but your testimony
will be needed.

I can't wait around
for an investigation.

We have to start
after the killers now.

Just where would you start ?

Morgan Pass, where
my real contact was killed.

I want to take a look at
the cave where they found him.

Maybe I can pick up
some kind of a trail there.

In that case,
I better go with you.

The inquiry
will involve me too, you know.

Makes my blood boil to think
of his last hours in this tomb.

He was part Sioux, you know ?

That's why he was selected
to make contact

with the Indian tribe.

I think I've got something, sir.

You mean those scratches ?
Well, you can hardly see them.

Not yet you can't.

But if my hunch is right

they're the beginning
of some pictographs.

- 'Lit's a hand holding an arm.'
- 'Yes, sir.'

'It's a sign for prison.'

He left us something after all.

He probably scratched it in
with the sharp end of this spur

and covered it with fine sand.

Oh, you understand
these Indian markings.

Yes, sir.
They're called pictographs.

I learned the language

when I was assigned
to the Five Nations.

Do you see any more ?

If there are any, they're
probably in the direction

that the prisoner's arm's
pointing.

These figures resting
on the line indicates brothers.

The one that's tilted,
he's disabled.

Probably limps.

The curved line indicate a snake.

The two lines running through
are a river.

It's a place. Snake River.

Snake River ?

That's only a half day's ride
from here.

Well, if he wanted to leave
some information for us

why didn't he just write it out ?

He wasn't sure the men who
tortured him wouldn't come back.

They must have been
pretty careless with their talk.

Knowing they were
going to kill him

that wouldn't have
mattered to them.

Well, he found out just enough
to give us a lead.

What are those three circles
joined by a line ?

'"Three moons.
One above the other.'

'It means three nights.'- ''

Could mean that they'd meet
in Snake River

three nights after the hold up.

I think that's right, sir.

Probably to divide up the money.

Now what does that mean ?

'A hand reaching up
toward a half circle.'

'It's reaching towards the sky.'

It means "Pray for him."

Colonel, you've got to let me go
to Snake River.

I'll send some soldiers.

Soldiers will scare off
the men we want.

Remember, we might be able
to identify just one of them.

We know a time and a place

we know that
the two of them are brothers

and that one of them limps.

You've got to let me go it alone.

I can't do that, Colt.

You have to be at Fort Randall
for the inquiry.

Give me the chance, sir.

Not for me.

For him.

Alright, Colt.

I'll give you
till the end of the week.

But I wouldn't go
into Snake River

as a gun salesman if I were you.

They're probably aware
of your identity by now.

And, what is that, captain ?

In the Sioux language,
it means vengeance.

I arrived in Snake River
with nothing more to go on

than a man who limped.

For two days, I combed the town

but I saw no one like that.

I had only one day left
before I had to ride back

and face a board of inquiry.

Just who are you
looking for, mister ?

What makes you think
I'm looking for anyone, sheriff ?

It's my job to know
what's going on ?

I've been keeping my eye on you

ever since you came into town

and you've been watching
everybody who came riding in.

Well, as a matter of fact,
you can help me.

I am looking for someone.

Two brothers.
One of them limps.

Have you seen
anyone like that around ?

No. Nobody like that
in Snake River.

Why don't you
come over to my office ?

Maybe you can recognize
their faces

on some wanted posters.

I can't identify the brothers

but I can identify a third party

without looking at a poster.

Third party ?
You must be looking for a gang.

Maybe.

Now what have you got
against these men ?

Let me call it an unpaid bill.

How much is that unpaid bill ?

$100,000.

And now, back to "Colt .45"

It's your bet.

I'm afraid I'm out.

I'm looking for Frank Harper.
He registered here ?

Nope. Don't seem to have him.

- He ain't showed yet.
- What do we do ?

Let's wait over
in the livery stable.

We can see anybody
going in from there.

Anyone been asking for me ?

Well, I'm afraid to say
that I don't know.

Oh, you must be Frank Harper.

Now, there was someone
looking for you just now.

Said he's be back.

I'm not Harper,
I'm a friend of his.

Oh, I see.

What's the best room you've got ?

Number Eight.

Give that to Harper.

He likes the best.
He's that kind of a man.

I'll take the room next door.

Well, it'll have to be
number ten.

Don't tell Harper I'm here.

Personal reason.

Kind of a surprise.

Sir, you forgot
to sign the register.

I'll sign it later.
I'm anxious to get cleaned up.

Yes, sir.

Got a room ?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Harper.

'Best room in the house.
Number eight.'

One peep out of you
and you're a dead man.

What room's Harper in>

Number eight.

'His friend's in Number ten.'

What name he give,
the friend in Number ten ?

He hasn't signed
the register yet.

- Friend ?
- Yeah.

Did you know he was gonna
bring anyone else in on this ?

- Unh.
- What do you make of it ?

It's either the law
or a double cross.

Harper's the only one who's
supposed to know we're here.

Yeah. Well, it ain't worth
taking chances.

Anything looks wrong,
we'll get 'em both.

Might be better that way.

We keep all the money.

I'll take the friend.
You cover Harper's room.

If he comes out, kill him.

There's no one there.

They must be in here.
We'll take them together.

- It's the money.
- Where are they ?

I'm not waiting around
to find out.

We got what we came for and more.

Let's get out of here.

That's far enough.

Now drop those guns.

Alright, now turn around
and drop that saddle bag.

Upstairs, sheriff, upstairs.

So you found him.

Why didn't you
come to me for help ?

There wasn't time.

They had the money ?

Caught 'em red-handed with it.

With all the evidence I need.

Mister, you're no court of law.

Granted, they owed it to you.

This is no way to collect it.

Why not ?

It's the way they got it.

You're gonna have
a lot of explaining to do.

Well, you just telegraph
Colonel Parker at Fort Randall

he'll do my explaining.

I'll do that.

Well, in the meantime,
you're under arrest.

- Come on.
- Wait a minute, sheriff.

There's a third man
in that closet.

He's dead.

Wild shot.

"Bury that with him.'"

It's what really killed him.

Those army men
sure are a caution.

You know, that was the shortest
telegraph I ever got.

Just in order to let you go.

You'd think you could
least tell me why.

Well, telegraph cost so much
a word, Joe

the army isn't that rich.

You didn't tell me that money
was owed to the army.

A lot more than that
was owed to the army.

I think we just about
evened it up.

Well, I'll be seein' you,
sheriff.
