I'm arresting you for mail robbery, Gordon.

I don't know who you are, mister.

But nobody takes me in.

Nobody.

Drop your gun belt.

Why don't you just try and take it ?

"Colt .45"

Produced by Warner Bros.

From the entertainment capital of the world

produced for television by Warner Bros.

Let's go.

Sheriff ! Stop 'em.

Sheriff ! Somebody stop him !

Dead center.

Anybody recognize any of 'em ?

One of 'em was Danny Gordon. He did the shooting.

Danny Gordon ? We better get after him fast.

Or they'll be safe in Willoughby's County.

- Safe ? - Yeah.

Gordon and Sheriff Willoughby

have an understanding.

Sam, Willy, Boyce, you're a posse.

- Chris, how about you ? - Count me in, Sheriff.

Come on.

Evenin'. You the gun salesman ?

That's right.

Well, I wanna buy a gun.

I don't know.

They were designed for men a little older than you

Well, I'm nineteen. I just don't look it, that's all.

- Well, even so... - Anyway, it's not for me.

It's for my father.

I see.

- Come on in, son. - Thank you.

Have you tried the gunsmith here in town ?

Well, I want the best for my father.

Well, why don't you ask him to come up here

and see for himself ? That way, he can pick out...

Well, it's a surprise, Mr. Colt, birthday present.

Oh.

Well, some of these are little more expensive than others

Take this nickel-plated one for instance.

Well, I think this black one would be just fine, Mr. Colt.

Pop wouldn't want anything fancy.

Yeah, that's just right.

How much is it ?

$20.

I'll write the order up and send it out right away.

Well, I can't wait that long, Mr. Colt.

You see, my father's birthday's tomorrow

and I'd like to have it for him when he gets up.

Okay. You can take the one you picked out.

Sure.

Thank you.

I hope your father likes it.

He will.

I know he will.

Thank you.

Is your name Colt ?

Yes, ma'am.

My son bought a gun last night.

He didn't get it from the gunsmith's shop.

Did you sell it to him ?

I don't know. Was he slim ?

Barely tall. Dark-haired. About 19 years old ?

He'll never reach 19.

- Thanks to you. - What do you mean ?

He walked in here, a child.

A 16-year-old child.

And for a few filthy dollars, you sold him a gun.

Well, he said it was a present.

For his father.

His father's dead.

He was killed right out there in the street.

Frank Benedict.

'We went after the killer but he got away.'

I'm sorry, Mrs. Benedict.

Oh, you're sorry. That's fine.

That'll be a big help when Danny Gordon

shoots my son down just like he shot my husband.

He's gone after Gordon. Is that it ?

Don't you touch me.

Look at your hand, Mr. Colt. Can't you see the blood on it ?

Look at it.

I understand Mrs. Benedict came to see you.

That's right.

Well, don't do anything crazy

on account of what she said.

She's upset and..

I know. I don't blame her a bit.

It's my fault that boy's got a gun.

If he hadn't gotten it from you

he'd have gotten it from somewhere else.

He didn't though. He got it from me.

You are going to Saddle Hill, aren't you ?

It's the least I can do.

Be bad enough if you had a legal right

to go after Gordon.

You'll get no help from the law there.

I'm gonna bring that boy back in one piece.

Whether I get any help or not.

If he had that gun tied any lower

he'd trip over it.

What'll it be, son ?

- Whiskey. - Yes, sir.

If you're not used to that stuff..

I'm used to it.

Where you from ?

Maxwell.

- 'Where you headin' ?' - 'Oh, right here. Saddle Hill.'

Any particular reason ?

Yeah. A real particular reason.

I'm looking for Danny Gordon.

You a relative of Danny or something ?

Well now, that's very funny.

Yeah ? Let me in on the joke

so I can have a laugh too.

- Why, you a friend of his ? - Why ?

I wanna get a message to him.

Is that right ?

Yeah, that's right.

You can tell him from me that Jimmy Benedict

says he's a yellow-bellied sidewinder.

I wouldn't wanna tell Danny a thing like that.

- It might worry him. - Well, it oughta worry him.

The last man he killed was my father.

And he wasn't even wearing a gun.

But I am.

Hey, Jimmy.

- Maybe you're mistaken. - I'm not mistaken.

I came here looking for Danny Gordon.

And when I find him, I'm gonna kill him.

You can tell him that when you see him.

Look, kid,

maybe your imagination's working overtime.

A lot of people think they got something against Danny

because he got the reputation of being very good with a gun.

You take it from me, it's not just...

Now look, why don't you just shut up

and tell him what I said ?

Or are you afraid of him too

like everybody else around here ?

You got an awful big mouth for a kid.

Go on home.

Jeff, no.

He's only a kid.

You just get out of the way.

Go on, big man.

Draw.

Now, you give Gordon my message ?

Yeah.

Up. Closing time.

Oh, I'm sorry. We're closing.

I'm looking for a friend of mine.

Thought maybe you could help me.

Name's Benedict. Jimmy Benedict.

- He's sixteen years old. - Sixteen ?

- Is that all he is ? - Then you've seen him.

See him ? He's already been in a gunfight.

With Danny Gordon ?

If that boy's a friend of yours, mister

you better get him out of here, tonight.

'Otherwise, you'll be burying him tomorrow.'

And he's still alive ?

The gunfight wasn't with Gordon.

"'That's right."

You know where he is ?

Hotel, I imagine.

Thanks.

The fight.

- Did he kill someone ? - No.

He shot a man called Jeff Lanier in the hand.

Thank you.

- Yeah ? - 'It's Chris Colt.'

What do you want ?

'Open up. I'd like to talk to you.'

Make it fast. It's late.

It's not too late though.

I'd like the gun back.

You've been talking to my mother.

Well, she doesn't think you're old enough for the gun

Neither do I.

Naturally, you'll get your money back.

The only way you'll get this gun away from me is to take it.

And I wouldn't try it.

You can't beat Gordon.

You won't stand a chance.

Mr. Colt

I got better things to do than stand around here

listening to you.

You can shut me up anytime you want to.

All you have to do is pull that trigger.

Now you listen to me.

I've been listening to you

about as long as I'm going to.

Now you get out of here.

Get out.

What are you gonna do about that kid ?

Well, he didn't shoot me up.

Seems to me like he's your problem.

He's in Saddle Hill looking for you.

Well, if he don't find me, he'll go away.

Besides, I got more important things to do

than use kids for target practice.

He's calling you yellow. He's calling you scared.

I knew it was a good idea to shave this morning.

Well, well, well.

Julie, I'm glad to see you.

You know, I was hoping you'd drop by today.

I've got something I wanna talk to you about.

Jack, you heard her. Vamoose.

You know, Julie, I never did agree

that nights were more romantic than days.

Come on, sit down and have some coffee.

Oh, no thank you.

Danny.

I came to talk to you about Jimmy Benedict

Who ?

Jimmy Benedict.

The kid that shot Jeff.

What's he to you ?

He's only 16 years old.

So” ?

So, I don't wanna see him killed, that's all.

Alright, Julie, whatever you say.

You still here ?

I'm going but I wanna tell you one more thing

that kid's done a lot of talking,

lot of people listening.

Some of them getting believing maybe you're yellow

including that sheriff you got scared.

Jeff, I think you're doing a lot of talking too.

You ever see a town get brave all at one time ?

I have.

Fifty citizens. All shooting at once.

Jeff's only trying to make you as angry as he is.

He's got a point though.

Everybody knows you're not scared of anything.

Yeah. They know that now.

But what'll they think if I don't show up in town

to face that Benedict kid ?

Oh, these people are sure stupid.

I've got Saddle Hill scared blue.

And that's because they're stupid.

It's not so, Danny

Sure it is.

You know that as well as I do.

I never backed away from fight yet

so they're afraid of me.

Now this, this kid, he comes along

says I killed his father

but I'm afraid of him.

Now if I don't show up in town

Saddle Hill is just stupid enough to believe him.

How is it gonna help your reputation

to kill a 16-year-old kid ?

Well, it won't hurt it any.

At least they'll stay scared of me.

Julie..

Julie..

I don't like killing the kid.

You know that.

Then prove it.

Stay away until the boy leaves town.

What's the matter with you ?

You have a mother instinct or something ?

Maybe..

Maybe that's what's wrong with me.

Julie.

Julie, what's the rush ?

I don't wanna stay, Danny

Alright then, go on.

Danny.

What about Jimmy Benedict ?

I'll think about it.

Goodbye, Danny.

Well, it's after 4:00.

Doesn't look to me like your gunslinger's gonna show today.

I think he's right. You know what else I think ?

Long as this young fellow's in town

"Gordon may not show at all.'

Now wait a minute.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe

Danny doesn't wanna kill a boy ?

Oh, now Danny'd kill anybody

just as long as they weren't shooting back.

Jimmy, he doesn't wanna kill you.

But he will if he has to.

And you keep up this, this talk about him

and he'll have to.

You talk like you know him pretty well.

I do.

Well, I'm sorry.

I got nothing against you.

But I'm gonna have to kill Gordon anyway.

Jimmy Benedict !

What are you doing ?

Ma ! How did you get here ?

By stagecoach, and not a moment too soon.

I can see that. Now, come on. We're going home.

No, ma.

No, I'll come home when I'm finished here.

I promise.

Jimmy, you do as I tell you.

You, you're still just a boy.

Sure, ma, sure. I know.

I'm pretty young.

But I've got a man's job to do.

And I'm gonna do it.

I have to.

Son, isn't there anything I can say

that will make you change your mind ?

No.

Now come on, let me take you to the hotel

and get you a room. You've had a long trip.

Sorry if I embarrassed you in front of your friends.

Stop.

You couldn't embarrass me, ma.

Not you.

Come on. Come on.

Oh, Mr. Colt. There's something coming in for you now.

- Who is it ? - 'Colt.'

Look, I thought I told you not to come around here...

I just got this telegraph

let me read it to you.

Gordon wanted for US Mail robbery

Laramie, Wyoming, last March, stop.

Violation your jurisdiction.

What's that got to do with me ?

I work for the Government.

That makes Danny Gordon my business.

- 'Hey, kid, you in there ?' - Yeah.

"Gordon's coming. He's riding to town right now.'

You hear that ? He's coming to meet me.

You can't butt in now.

I'm sorry, Jim, I was planning on

stepping between you and Gordon anyway.

Now, this makes it legal.

Can I see that ?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, Jimmy, don't. Please.

Go back in the hotel, ma.

Mister Gordon !

Oh, no. Please let me go.

Please get off the streets, ma'am.

You're liable to get yourself killed.

'No, I have to talk to him.'

'It's too late for that, ma'am.'

At least give your son an even chance

With you out here, he might take his eyes off Gordon.

Now, come on.

Kid, I'll give you a chance.

You turn right around and walk away

if you wanna stay alive.

Sure.

So, you can shoot me in the back.

Alright.

Make your play.

- Oh ! Stop it. - No.

I'm arresting you for mail robbery, Gordon.

I don't know who you are, mister.

But nobody's taking me in.

Nobody.

Drop your gun belt.

Why don't you just try and take it ?

He'll be alright, ma'am.

Oh.

You came after a boy, Mrs. Benedict.

You're taking home a man.

I think he'll know when and how to use this now.

Thanks.

Mr. Colt, I..

It's alright, ma'am.

You're welcome.

Hello, hope you enjoyed this week's show.

This is a Mexican Peso.

Pretty common along the border of New Mexico

where next week's story takes place.

- Will you take a Peso ? - Sure.

We see more of them around here than Dollars.

But there was something special about that particular Peso.

Without it, I was a dead man.

With it, I was safe.

Oh, you're gonna tell me, friend.

You're surely gonna tell me.

We need guns.

Chris Colt can get 'em for us.

We're takin' a big chance.

If he finds out who's at that meeting...

I can keep him away from that meeting

with my eyes closed.

Don't.

I ain't exactly in your class.

But you've seen me shoot.

I don't believe you. You're gonna kill him.

Well, I won't let you.

Uncle Jack !

No, you can't !

Be with us again next week, when we present "Rebellion."
