Original subtitles

Out of the wagon.

Let's get out of here.

It's trooper O'shay.

One of the tall men had shot him.

Oh, we better get him into town

we'll worry about Mr. Palomino later.

And now "Colt .45"

A Warner Bros. television production.

Colt !

Well, we got one of 'em anyway.

Maybe we should have stayed and fought it out.

Maybe you'll like this place well enough to be buried here.

But I don't.

$20,000 payroll's worth taking a chance for.

Hey, look, there's only one of them right now, Steve.

- I think if... - Do me a favor, Kemp.

- What ? - Don't think.

We tried it your way and almost get our heads blown off.

- Now, we do it my way. - Well, it'd better be good.

Once they get that money in the bank

it ain't gonna be easy to get it out again.

Easy enough provided you've got a key.

Key ?

- Hello. - I want to talk to you, Dottie.

Well, can't it wait ? I'm just going out.

No.

Alright. What is it, Steve ?

This kid from the bank, how close to hooked is he ?

Jim Gibson ?

Practically in the boat. Why ?

Well, he's gonna get us in that bank tonight.

Oh, well, I wouldn't bet on it.

I would. I've seen you in action.

Well, there might be a way at that.

Of course, we'll probably have to get rid of them afterwards.

It's a cruel world.

35, 40, 45, 50. That's it.

Next teller please.

Dottie, what are you doing here ?

I have to talk to you.

Mr. Gibson, in my office please.

Yes, sir.

I better go see what he wants.

Then will you come up to the place tonight ?

- It's important. - Alright

Gibson !

Jim, what am I going to do with you ?

Is there a law against talking to the customers ?

Customer. I know who she is.

And I know where you've been spending your time

in the last couple of months.

I've been buttoning my own buttons for a long time now

Mr. Gerrett.

We have some real nice girls in this town.

Why chase after a, a woman like that ?

If you don't know the difference between her and the other girls

I can't tell you.

Jim..

...I'm gonna talk to you like a Dutch uncle.

'I don't want a Dutch uncle.'

I just want what belongs to me !

Alright.

Here's something your father left you.

If you think you're man enough to wear Joe Gibson's gun

put it on.

You keep it since you think so highly of it.

Just give me the money he left me and I'll buy a whole

wagon load exactly like it.

Not exactly.

Look, Gerrett, I stood in that cage two years

waiting on you to give me what's mine

that I'm full up.

I just don't think you're ready to handle that amount

of money.

- Who is it ? - 'Colt. Army payroll.'

'Oh, come in, captain.'

I'll take it, sergeant. Thank you.

Put it here.

- You're late. - Hold-ups will do that.

- Hold-up ? - Other side of nine mile cut.

Well, you saved the payroll anyway.

- I lost a good man doing it. - Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Well, I'll open her up.

Oh, say hello to Joe Gibson's boy Jim.

I met you four years ago with your father.

- How is he ? - He's dead.

Got killed two years ago, come April.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. He was a good sheriff.

You've got a lot to live up to.

Yeah, that's what they keep telling me.

He grew up fast.

Maybe too fast.

Do you want to open that ?

What do you mean too fast ?

Got a wire of streak in him, captain.

Yeah, most young men have.

Oh, I don't mean just the Saturday night

poker game a drink of whiskey.

He's running with a bad bunch. Real bad.

Anyone that I might know ?

Mainly a fellow named Steve Hampton

and his sister. She works down at the Lucky Spot.

Steve Hampton.

There was a Steve Hampton in a trouble around Dodge.

That's what Jim's headed for. Trouble.

And I can't do a thing to stop it.

What makes it your special problem ?

I'm his guardian.

Joe left him a good gun, a sound horse and $1500

for me to hand over when I saw fit.

- He spend it ? - No.

I haven't seen fit to hand it over.

Not the money, anyway.

Couldn't see any harm letting him have Palomino.

Oh, he rides a Palomino ?

Has the boy been here all day ?

Yes. As far as I know. Why ?

No special reason.

I'll pick the receipt up later.

What's your hurry, captain ?

I've got to bury a trooper and hang two men if I can find them.

Well, if I can help you.

Maybe you have already.

US Marshal, Dodge City. Urgent and confidential.

Please forward any information on Steve Hampton.

Christopher Colt.

Hotel Mineral Wells.

Send that right away and bring the answer to the hotel

as soon as it arrives.

We're ready with Trooper O'shay, sir.

Alright. Did you check on that Palomino ?

Yes, sir. He's kept in a pasture.

Almost anybody could have ridden him off without being seen.

That's not much help.

There is one thing, sir.

It's pretty skittish animal.

I don't think a stranger could saddle him.

- Has he been ridden today ? - Real hard and not long ago.

Lets go see about O'shay.

Where have you been ?

I've been taking a little walk around the bank.

Steve, I've been thinking about that back window.

- I asked you not to. - Not to what ?

Think.

- We've got it all worked out. - Yeah ?

Yeah.

Kid's got $1500 in the safe.

Dottie will talk him into making Gerrett open it up.

We move it. Pretty.

Yeah. It's too bad we couldn't get the combination.

Kid wants his $1500 and he wants me.

That's the combination.

She got him trained pretty good. Here he comes.

- Sit down, Jim. - No, thanks, Steve,

I came to see your sister.

Young love ? Nothing like it.

Oh, don't you pay him any mind.

Come on, let's go up to my dressing room.

Here. Deal.

Oh, I knew this was gonna be a good day.

Can you wait, please ? I have to talk to you.

- That can wait. - No, darling.

- This is important. - So is this.

No. Please, Jimmy.

We're leaving tonight.

- Who's leaving ? - My brother and |I.

That's why I had to see you.

- That's not a very good joke. - Oh, it wasn't meant to be.

Well, you just can't go. Not like that.

- We have to. - Why ?

Well, it's Steve. You see it's his big chance.

He can buy into a mine in California.

Well, what does that have to do with you going ?

Well, I can't stay here alone.

You wouldn't be here alone. We could get married.

Why not ?

Oh, Jimmy, I'd love to.

Oh, you know I would. It's just that..

Well, Steve and..

Well, wait a minute.

Why don't you come with us ?

You mean just pick up and leave ?

Yes. We could be married in California.

Your $1500 would give us a wonderful start.

Well, I don't know about the money.

What do you mean ?

Well, Mr. Gerrett won't let me have it.

Well, it's yours, isn't it ?

- Yes, but... - Well, then take it.

Or do you like being treated like a little boy ?

No, I don't.

Then will you make him give it to you ?

Tonight ?

I just don't want him to...

No.

Well, sister.

Steve, Jimmy's coming with us tonight.

- He's going to go to the... - Just a minute.

There's a fella out here to see you.

Says his name is Colt.

Thanks, Steve.

Dottie, what we were talking about..

...I'll take care of it.

Land him ?

High and dry.

You wanted to talk to me ?

I think it's time we had a little talk.

Well, I have a few things to do, how about later ?

Let's make it now.

Look, Colt, I'm not in your army.

You wanna talk here or in the sheriff's office ?

Alright.

You don't mind if I have a little drink first, do you ?

No law against it.

Bottle here.

I don't like the fella, Colt.

Well, that's fine, 'cause you might just be elected.

Elected to what ?

Kill him.

You've got the floor.

Somebody tried to take the army payroll this morning.

One of my men got killed, perhaps you've heard about it.

What's that got to do with me ?

That's what I aim to find out.

You know, you're not gonna believe this, Colt

but I go whole weeks without trying

to rob the army payroll.

Well, I'm gonna put somebody's neck in a noose.

I hope it isn't yours.

If you wanna help fine, if you don't that's fine too.

I spent the whole day at the bank.

Half the town will tell you that.

I know.

But you're in this whether you like it or not.

Who rides your palomino ?

How did my horse get into this conversation ?

The man who killed Sgt. O'shay was riding him,

You know, there's more than one palomino in the world.

It was your horse alright.

Nobody rides that horse but me.

Somebody does.

Steve Hampton maybe ?

Are you trying to tie Steve into this ?

- If he fits. - He doesn't.

You're pretty good friends, aren't you ?

I like him fine.

How well do you know him ?

Well enough to want to make him my brother-in-law.

You plannin' on marrying Dottie Hampton ?

Well, like you said before..

...there's no law against it.

Just so happens there is ? She's already married.

You know, you were right when you wanted

to stay away from that stuff.

You don't need it.

I just received a telegram from Dodge

says among other things that..

...Dottie and Steve Hampton have been married for three years.

You're lying !

I've got the telegram right here.

Did Mr. Gerrett put you up to this ?

Take it easy, Jim.

Go tell him it didn't take.

No, Jim.

If that's the way you want it, Jim.

I don't mind taking care of it right now.

Not here.

Now that's what I call a nice workman like job.

- Where does he live ? - Down this way.

Come on, I'll show ya.

Colt !

Better get ride of him. But quiet.

Quiet as a little bitty mouse.

Steve, is that you ?

Yep, we just finished your fight for you, Jimmy boy.

Is he alright ?

He won't bother you anymore tonight.

What was it all about, anyway ?

Gerrett sent him with a bunch of lies.

- Like what ? - Said he had a telegram.

- From Dodge about you. - Never been there.

But if he's supposed to have a telegram

why don't we look for it ?

- Find anything ? - No.

Well, it looks like he's just trying to stir up some trouble.

Yeah, that's the way they do sometimes.

Yeah, I figured he was lying. Had to be.

What'll we do with him ?

Leave him be.

- Here you go. - What's this for ?

Dottie told me you were gonna get your money tonight.

- What do I need a gun for ? - Might save a lot of talk.

Alright, I'll take it from here.

We'll back you up if you want.

I can handle it.

Okay, we'll see you later.

Oh, Jimmy, come on in.

A long time since you came callin'.

This isn't a social call, Garrett.

Well, come on in anyway, maybe a good talk

is just what we've been needin'.

It's too late to talk.

I don't think I know what you mean.

I came for my money.

You know, I've been thinkin'..

...you'll be 21 in a couple of months.

I want it now !

Right now !

That's pretty drastic, Jim.

I feel pretty drastic.

That money's mine, and I want it !

I don't keep that much cash here.

I know.

Let's go to the bank.

Alright, Jim.

Captain ! Captain Colt !

Cap.. Captain !

Alright, the same, Mr. Gerrett.

What if I said no ?

That's what I've got this for.

You really think you could use it ?

Don't make me find out.

I knew you were headed for trouble

but I never expected anything like this

from Joe Gibson's boy.

Maybe you're looking for too much in me.

I could never live up to what you think

Joe Gibson's boy ought to be.

Open the safe.

Alright, Jim.

Maybe we did expect too much.

- Here you are, Jim. - Count it up.

Fifteen hundred dollars.

It's alright, Steve, I told you I could handle this.

Well, it's like this, Jimmy boy.

Since Mr. Gerrett went through all that trouble

of opening up the safe..

You didn't have to do that !

You beginning to get the picture, Jimmy boy ?

Alright, you and Kemp clean out that safe.

Well, come on, boy, fish are cut bait.

There's no such thing as kinda robbin' a bank

you do or you don't.

Alright, Steve, I'm with you.

How is he, captain ?

He'll be alright.

Get these people out of here.

Alright, everybody, clear out. Some of you men give me a hand.

Steve !

Steve !

Steve, baby !

Steve ! Honey, baby !

Oh, no, Steve !

I'm sorry, miss.

Oh, no !

Well, I guess that makes me the worlds champion fool !

Jimmy.

Wait a minute.

That's what a well dressed banker wears on his day off ?

Well, Mr. Garrett and I decided I wasn't cut out for banking.

- Where you headin' ? - Fort Leavenworth.

- Mind if I ride along ? - No law against it.
