Gramps ! You can't go.

You don't have to prove anything to me, gramps. Honest you don't !

It was me who made the mistake.

I got you into this.

I ain't doing it for you, boy.

I'm doing it for myself.

Gramps, no, he'll kill ya.

Bang ! Bang !

Bang ! I got you Red Dog McCreedy.

- I got ya. - Billy.

Billy, come here now.

You grandfather's coming any minute.

Gramps did kill Red Dog McCreedy, didn't he, ma ?

Killed him dead as a doornail with one shot.

Cleaned up a whole town. Cleaned up lots of towns.

Did he, Mrs. Dixon ? Was Billy's grandfather a real sheriff ?

He really was once many years ago.

I told ya. He was even faster than Bat Masterson.

Billy, your grandfather's a very old man now.

All those stories I told you took place a long time ago

when I was just a little girl.

You see, he's no sheriff anymore.

Even your ma says so.

He could be if he wanted to.

He's still faster than Greased Lightning.

Stage's coming.

Lord ! Honey !

- Gramps ! - Billy boy !

Oh !

Well, a man sure is blessed

after all these years seeing the two of you.

Was the trip alright, pa ?

Oh, just fine, honey.

Thanks to this gentleman here

listening to my stories.

Mr. Colt, my daughter Mrs. Dixon

and, my grandson Billy.

How do you do, ma'am ? Billy.

Howdy. Where's your gun, gramps ?

- Oh, Billy, if you don't stop... - Alright, it's alright, honey.

I don't have to carry Nno guns anymore.

People see me they just naturally back off.

See that's what comes of having a reputation.

See, I told you, didn't 1 ? I told you.

Billy, you're looking to see real guns

Mr. Colt here sells them for the Colt company.

Yes, siree, better than any guns I ever had to work with.

Well, thank you Mr. Courtwright.

- I'll go get my luggage. - We'll help you, gramps.

Alright, come on, boys.

I'm most grateful to you for your having made

my father's trip comfortable.

Oh, it's my pleasure, ma'am.

There's not many left like him anymore.

No. He and mother had a wonderful life together

up in Sweetwater, where I was born.

After mother died I didn't want him to be left alone and..

Well, the most important thing is that his life be made

pleasant and quiet after so many years of hard work.

Gramps, tell them how you got up that posse and went after those

bank robbers in Bard City.

Well, now that's kind of a long time ago, isn't it ?

I'd say you won't have much trouble

making his life here pleasant, Mrs. Dixon.

And this revolving, breech loading colt pistol

far surpasses any other type of gun in the market today.

I've been carrying a navy colt for seven years.

Well, that's because you haven't tried the Colt .45.

When it comes to balance

it's like a bird on the wing.

- Buying one, sheriff ? - I don't know.

I might at that.

You shoot with this, do you ?

Shinny new gun will look kind of nice with that shiny star

wouldn't it ?

These new fancy guns ain't for me.

There's no better gun than this one.

No trigger, nothing but what I need for fanning.

See what I mean ?

How long is this gonna keep up, Nye ?

How long ?

Give me that. There we are.

One more story, gramps.

Oh, you heard what your ma said.

In the bed.

If I go keeping you up like this telling you stories

your ma's gonna send me away.

Not you, gramps.

Nobody could send you away.

- Oh. - Not even Cherry Lane.

Cherry Lane. Oh, that's a very pretty name.

Um, I knew a fella once, his name was, Peaches Ruffles.

He was the toughest. Roughest...

Cherry Lane's tougher, gramps.

Even Sheriff Nye's afraid of him.

Really ?

Billy, if you don't go to sleep, I'll take...

Ma, ma, why can't gramps become sheriff

and run Cherry Lane and his friend Pike out of town ?

Pa, will you tell him once and for all ?

Billy..

I was though being a sheriff long ago

'even before you were born.'

Why ?

Your grandma was worried about me.

You could still be sheriff.

I know you could.

Then you could run Cherry Lane out of town.

Maybe I could, son, now maybe I could.

All I want now is live peaceful here with you and your ma.

You don't really mean that.

Yes, I do.

I haven't even got a gun.

- But if you had a gun... - Goodnight, Billy.

Goodnight, boy.

Goodnight, gramps.

- Mr. Colt. - Hello, son.

You're Billy Dixon, aren't you ?

- Yes, sir. - How's your grandfather today ?

Well, just fine, sir.

I'd like to buy one of your guns.

Oh, it's not for me, Mr. Colt.

It's for gramps.

If gramps had a gun, he could run Cherry Lane out of Sirocco.

Only ma won't let him.

Well, I think that's a job for the sheriff, don't you, Billy ?

Oh, but gramps could be sheriff better that Mr. Nye.

I see.

If I'd buy him a gun, a real new gun

well, then maybe he couldn't keep from doing

what he wants to do.

Somebody's gotta run Cherry Lane out of Sirocco.

Guns are kind of expensive, Billy.

Oh, if it's not enough I get 10 cents a week for washing dishes.

Well, it's enough to start with.

Selecting a gun is a personal matter.

Why don't you have your grandfather come up

and pick his own ?

When ?

Oh, later today

when he comes into town.

Well, then you keep this and tell me how much more I owe you.

Well, it's not customary to accept advance payment.

Tell you, I'll call on you later.

Yes, sir.

Oh, you're making it up.

I am not. I'm not making anything up.

Things are gonna change in Sirocco now.

You watch.

Wait till my pa hears about this.

You tell your pa why it is you think gramps came to town.

"Cause he knew Cherry Lane was here, that's why."

- You're not fooling. - You bet.

Sheriff.

- Have a drink. - No.

Cherry, it's all over town

that Dixon woman's old man is planning to run you

out of Sirocco.

It's not funny, Cherry.

Maybe you don't remember that far back

that Courtwright's gunned a lot of men in his time.

- Cut 'em. - Listen..

If this town starts believing Courtwright

they're liable to start doing something about us. About you.

Why make any more trouble, Cherry ?

Let's you and me just head for Mexico.

Why ?

You keep fanning that gun the way you do

someone's gonna start tying our steps to that stagecoach

haul at Lone Pass.

There's a lot of man in this territory

who fan a gun with their right hand.

Tell Courtwright I'm sitting right here

anytime he wants to see me.

Giddyap, giddyap ! Come on, boy !

Oh, that ain't no real horse.

- [t is so real horse. - Who says ?

Hey, Billy. There's your gramps going to the salon.

"And Cherry Lane is in there.'

Now you'll see some fireworks !

Nice little town you have here.

'Whiskey, sir.'

That's Courtwright.

Give him milk.

I said whiskey, mister.

And I meant whiskey.

I hear you figure on running me out of town.

I think there's been a mistake.

A mistake was you shooting your big mouth off.

I'm not sure that I know what you're talking about, mister.

The name's Cherry Lane.

I see.

I'm not so sure you see at all, pop.

I say you're just a big bag of wind

if you figure on running me out of town.

"Just that sniveling yellow-bellied'

'big bag of wind, that's what you are.'

I haven't got a gun, mister.

You got one now.

I haven't had a gun in my hand in years.

I don't think you ever held a gun in your hand, sheriff.

Sure. Who'd you get to do your fighting for you, some deputy ?

'And you took all the glory ?

Turn around.

Let's see if you're any faster with your feet

than you're with your hand.

Dance ! Let's see you dance, pop !

Gramps ! Get up !

Shoot him, gramps ! Shoot him !

Shoot him, gramps ! Shoot him !

You didn't have to rip his hat, Cherry.

Well, what do you know ?

You think I should buy him a new hat, sheriff ?

Get yourself another hat.

An old lady's hat.

And you said your grandpa was tough.

He's just a scaredy-cat.

Only thing he can shoot off is his mouth.

- Billy ! - You're not a gun-fighter.

You're just a dancer.

Scaredy-cat. Scaredy-cat.

"1870 C.C."

"" The town of Cowely is proud today of its Sheriff'

"Jim Courtwright.'

"Single handed he stood before

"two of the most desperate criminals of the time

and made them hand their guns over."

Pa !

I was fixing to leave

but I changed my mind.

I'm gonna take care of Mr. Cherry Lane

right now !

You're doing this because of the boy, aren't you ?

- Aren't you ? - I'm not too sure about it.

Now you can't prove anything by dying.

Yeah. Leave reputation behind nobody will be ashamed of.

- Now, pa, you listen to me. - No !

I'm listening to my pride.

'There's a message coming through.'

Thank you.

Billy. You-you got to stop your gramps.

He's going after Cherry Lane with a gun.

Gramps ran away from him.

- He was scared stiff. - Well, he's not running now.

- Good for gramps. - Oh, no, Billy. It's not good.

No matter how fast he wants to move he can't anymore.

Well, he's an old man, he doesn't stand a chance

against Cherry Lane.

You... you mean he'll get himself killed ?

If you don't stop him.

He's doing this because

well, because you think he's a coward.

Gramps ! Gramps !

You can't go !

You don't have to prove anything to me, gramps.

Honest you don't.

It was me who made the mistake.

I got you into this.

I ain't doing it for you, boy.

Doing it for myself.

Gramps, no ! He'll kill you !

Enough of your crying, boy.

Gotta learn to grow up.

I heard about that robbery at Lone Pass

a couple of months ago.

I understand they got away with

$20,000 of Federal Reserve money

and... some new coin from the Carson City mint.

What you getting at ?

That fella that shot at the old man's hat

he threw a coin at him..

...had 1870 C.C. on it.

C.C. stands for Carson City Mint.

I've got a hunch that he and his friend robbed that stage.

Ain't you jumping to a lot of conclusions, mister ?

Well, I thought that maybe you and I can take them

and split the reward.

Oh ?

You did ?

How come if you're so brave now

you didn't stop when he was shooting that old man ?

Oh, I wanted to but..

...when I saw him fanning with his right hand..

I thought I'd get some more evidence.

Why, you ain't got no evidence yet, mister.

Now I think you better get out of town

before one of 'em kills you.

If they kill me, sheriff

they'll be hung for murder by the federal government.

Federal government ?

What are you talking about ?

I wired Carson City.

There will be two federal marshals here by noon tomorrow.

He already sent a wire.

Two federal marshals are gonna be here

in the morning.

Get out of town before I'm dragged into this.

- Where's Colt now ? - Forget him.

Why waste time looking for him ?

He's probably hiding some place.

We leave now we can make Mexico in

before they get on our trail.

He's right, you're lucky

Colt was fool enough to trust me.

You're good for something, ain't you ?

Alright, you get the money out of your safe.

We'll meet you at the Livery Stable.

Let's get the horses saddled.

Take care of the horse and rig for me, will you ?

Get out of here, both of you !

I said get out ! You too, pa !

You're through pushing me

or anybody else.

Do you hear me, you're through !

I ain't got time to bother with you. Get out of here !

You shamed me in front of my grandson.

'You ain't shaming me no more'

even if you kill me I ain't backing down now !

Had it all the time, didn't you, sheriff ?

Can you make it, Mr. Courtwright ?

Oh, lucky.

Just got creased.

Thanks to you.

What's coming off here ?

- Take him to jail. - Listen !

I didn't steal anything.

They just paid me..

You heard him.

Remember that at his trial.

Here's the stolen money.

Those are the two men that held up the stage at Lone Pass.

He was in with them.

You alright, gramps ?

Come on, let's get them out of here.

You mean you killed them both, gramps ?

A-and you weren't afraid ?

I was afraid.

And I didn't kill either one of them.

Mr. Colt here did it for me.

I don't care, gramps.

I don't care.

I love you, gramps.

Now you run along with your ma.

I'll be with you directly.

Colt..

Thank you... for everything.

That's alright.

You took care of enough men in your time.

Important thing is

you weren't afraid of telling the truth.

Even to the boy.
