luck this time. The power is goodbye.

Whoa.

[Music]

on a cart from Oregon Reynolds. What

does he want? Letter from Morgan

Reynolds if there is one.

Here it is. Don't be learned about it.

Mr. Morgan Reynolds Sonora California

wasn't yours. Which is Scotty.

Sega lucky. Get up. Scotty,

the darnest hold up I ever seen. He

didn't take a thing. We're lucky. You

know who that was? Carson City Kid. He's

tougher than old S's nose. What's he

doing in this part of the country?

Search me.

We're taking too many chances stopping

the stages from one end of the gold

field to the other just to look through

the mail. I found what I was looking

for. Well, let's clear out of this

country then. Not yet. We're going to

Sonor. Well, he can't show up there.

That's where that stage is heading.

That's all right. We'll hide out in the

hills for a day or so.

[Music]

You won't find a gem like my darling.

You can take that gold afold.

It still won't compare to my darling.

Looks like I got to ask you for more

salary for my little artist.

Your little artist? Yeah. My little

artist. I'm her manager.

You spend your time managing the drugs

around here. I'll tend you Madison.

Didn't I discover her? Didn't I bring

her in here and make you give her a job?

Isn't it? Keep your nose out of this.

I've got my own plans for her.

Personal plans.

[Music]

[Music]

The stage was held up. It was the Carson

City Kid.

What? Carson City Kid.

Tell the driver I want to see him.

I didn't get a good look at him. He wore

a mask and he spoke Spanish. That's

about all I can tell you. And you say he

didn't take anything? That's what

surprised me. He was just looking for a

letter.

What kind of a letter? I got it here.

It's a dress for Morgan Reynolds.

I'll keep it for him. He's going to stop

by the bar for it.

You ever run across this Carson City

kid? Sure. Man is a time. Why? He's

about the quickest, shest gunman there

ever was. Lightning fast. Shoots his

left hand. He was using his right hand

when I spin him. That's just one of his

tricks.

Debbie, you're getting a posy together.

We'll stop him before he gets started.

We'll split up here and keep going until

we find them. I know the kid's habits

better than any man in this country. The

only way to catch him is to shoot first.

Shoot to kill.

Bacon and coffee. I'm going to eat if I

have to kill somebody together. You're

always talking about killing somebody to

get something. What's the matter with

you? Now this country gives me the

jumps. We don't belong here.

Hello in there.

Well, howdy, howdy. Just in time for

breakfast. Thanks. We thought we'd have

to talk you out of it. No, no. Step

down. Tie your horses up.

Come on in. Have something to eat.

Sit down. Sit down. We'll wait till you

finish your breakfast. Oh, no. That's

all right. I'll cook up some more right

away.

Kind of good having company. I ain't

seen a sew in over two weeks.

Looks like he was getting ready to

leave. Yeah. Yeah. I just stopped in

here overnight. On my way home. Where do

you call home?

Arizona. Oh, it ain't much to look at

the first time, but you sure get to

liking it. If it's any of my business,

how' your It's none of your business.

No, no. Go ahead, ask me. I'm just dying

to talk to somebody.

How'd your claim work out? Oh,

she's chalk full of gold, boys. Ain't

going to have to kill a fatter cat for

me when I come home. I'm dragging him

home with me. If it was that good, why

are you leaving? Well, I sold my claim

out and American River is getting kind

of low. I can't wait for the rains. I'm

going to get some water. Make up some

more coffee.

He's got a belt full of gold. You're

just plain hog, Larmy. Leave this fell

alone. You've got enough money. There

ain't enough money. I said leave him

alone. Good looking horses you got out

there.

What do you know about Sonora? Not a

thing. Well, when I get to town, I'm

going to buy the best horse and the best

outfit I can find. When I ride in on my

folks, I'm really going to look like

something. Sit down and eat. I'll fix a

coffee. Hand over that money bill.

Not enough.

[Music]

Good fight, Arizona. Only trouble with

you is you talk too much. It's a long

ways back to that ranch of yours in

Arizona. If you had to take that belt

off my waist and strap it around my

mouth.

I didn't know that partner of yours

would try to stick me up.

Thanks for the breakfast.

[Music]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Well, you're the Carson City Kid. You'd

have been better off if you had stayed

in Nevada. I ain't the Carson City Kid.

What about it, Gabby? You ought to know.

Yeah, that's kid. All right. I can

recognize him anywhere. Ain't no

mistaking that horse now. Yeah, he fits

the description. There can't be two like

that in the country. It's a kid's horse.

I ain't denying it. We was riding double

and I slugged him and tried to make a

getaway. He's right. There were two of

them when they went around that hill.

Well, Whitaker,

that's easy. I I

Well, it was just my idea. Well, smarten

him. We'd tell where the kid was.

Two of you stay with this man. We'll

search the back trail.

No sign of him. Looks like he got away.

We'll take that half breed back into

town. I ain't giving up that easy. You

fellas can go on. I'm going to stay here

and mosey around a bit. Yeah, maybe he

can find you.

[Music]

[Music]

All right. All right, Mr. Carson City

Kid, wherever you are, you ain't fooling

me any. What do you want? I'm afraid

I'll have to trouble you for your horse,

officer. Mine was stolen. I suppose that

gives you the right to steal mine. Oh, I

wouldn't say that. All I want to do is

bore it. Drop your lines and get down.

Might as well get rid of that gun while

you're at it.

Now you can take that rope off and start

walking for town.

Did you say walk to town? It's a nice

morning for a stroll. Oh, now wait a

minute, Mr. Kid. You can't do this to

me. Talk it you ruin my reputation. I'll

be the laugh and stop the scenori. I'm

sorry, oldtimer, but I need a horse.

Well, why don't you go ahead and shoot

me and get it over with? And they'll

have to send a wagon out here to bring

me in. Anything will be better than

this. You got a long way to go. You

better start walking.

[Music]

Get a new poster out. Raise that reward

to $10,000.

All right.

Are you the one? Are you the one? One

that I'm dreaming of.

Are you the one? Are you the one one

that I'd love to love?

I'd like to take you in my arms and then

day after day.

I'd like to do big things for you in my

own little way.

Are you the one? Are you the one who

will steal my All right, boys. There's

something for you to shoot at. Easy

money.

Where will it be? I saw a big reward

sign go up in Hang Town once. Shucks.

They brought in 16 corpses the first

week. There wasn't any of them that even

look like the fellow. Yeah. And they

don't even know what this one looks

like. How they going to know him when

they get him? They just brought in his

partner. Got him down to Jacob. For me,

are you the one? Are you the one? One

that I'm dreaming of.

Are you the one? Yes. Are you the one

one that I love to love?

I'd like to take you in for you in my

own little way.

Are you the one? Are you the one? One

will

it be? Oh, where will it be? How will

our own?

I know I've waited a long time, but make

it tonight is a lie.

So,

one little

say you're the one for me.

[Applause]

Come on, baby. Sit down and have a

little drink. Not now, baby. Oh, come

on. Come here. Just Come on. No, really.

[Music]

[Laughter]

Why are you hand

keep this for him? He's allowed to hurt

himself.

You need to go into all that trouble. No

trouble.

[Music]

I'd ask you to have a drink, but that's

the same mistake the other fella made.

Well, I quit drinking 30, 40 years ago.

Guess I'm getting old. I don't even like

my pipe anymore.

I didn't know what else to say.

Well, now that we've been introduced to

know each other's bad habits, what

brought you to town? I'm looking for a

job. You don't need a guard, do you? No,

but you will. Look who's coming.

Look out.

[Music]

Hey, that fella can shoot.

[Music]

I like the way you handle that gun. Are

you working the gold field? Not exactly.

I haven't decided yet.

Maybe I can use you. I've been thinking

about hiring a guard. Somebody who knows

how and when to shoot. Expecting

trouble.

There's always trouble in a place like

this. A man who can shoot fast comes in

handy. Supposing I shoot the wrong fell.

If you make any mistakes, I can fix it.

My instructions are to shoot first and

talk about it later.

You're hired.

Get him a saw off shotgun.

[Music]

Well, Gabby, what happened to you? Trash

and city kid. I got the drop on him. I

was just about snapped the cuffs on and

rattlesnake shied my horse and throw me.

Wouldn't happen once in a thousand

times. Sure. Too bad he got away.

There's a big reward. Yeah, that's what

I was thinking all the way back. Cheated

out of that reward by a no good

rattlesnake.

I better get these cuffs off.

How'd you get here?

[Music]

Thanks for the ride, Papy. Next time you

go out in the country, you better take a

C H A

chaperoni.

The kid

dog gone. No good horsey.

You are to be ashamed of yourself.

[Music]

Well, guess I'll have to pay in gold

dust if that's all right with you. Sure,

we can use it.

Hey, you've been doing right well for

yourself. Hey, there there's plenty more

where that comes from, too. I started

the gold field once. That's far as I

got.

[Music]

Good evening. Hi. I don't believe I've

seen you in town before. No, I just got

in. I see. My name's Jess. This is my

place. We always like to welcome

visitors to Sonora. Hey, Pete. See if

you can find a special bottle back

there. Hey, that's mighty nice.

Hello, mister. Evening, Miss Joby. I see

you found a job. What is it? Riding

shotgun on the stage? No, ma'am. On the

gambling hall. We're both working for

Lee Jess. Oh, I see.

I've been thinking about you all day.

Made of your mind to marry me happily

ever after. Is that it? It's something

like that. How did you know? Oh, they

usually start out that way, but I never

take them seriously.

[Music]

There's a friend of yours out here,

Joby. He's from Arizona. I'm not from

Arizona, and I don't know anyone down

there.

[Music]

I told him you were. You'd better stick

to my story.

[Music]

After this, do your watching at the

front door.

Here's that surprise I was talking

about, Joey. An old friend of yours from

Arizona. Our old friendship seems to

have slipped my mind for the moment.

Well, now that's funny. Somehow I got

the idea you two knew each other. Sit

down, Doby.

[Music]

This is Scott Warren. He's made a lot of

money in the gold fields. Must to get

himself a fancy outfit, a couple of good

horses, and ride home in style.

The conquering hero returns to the girl

back home. Is that it? Oh, no. No.

There. There's no girl back home. Just a

little ranch and a few cows and a couple

of old folks going to be awful glad to

see me. I'll bet they will. I'll be back

in a second.

Just to start the new friendship, right?

Don't play cards with Jeff.

Oh, why not? I I'm awful lucky at cards.

Not the way he plays.

I'm afraid we'll have to excuse you now,

Joby.

[Music]

We had a little poker game last night,

and the boys want to get reven. You

fellas are always trying to get my

money.

Do you know anything about poker over in

Arizona? Oh, a little bit. How about

joining in? All right.

[Music]

[Applause]

Howdy, young fell. Howdy. Had shoot

anybody yet? No. Seems pretty quiet so

far.

What do you know about this Carson City

kid?

I've heard a lot about him. Why? I

almost nabbed him this morning, but he's

a tough umbre. I'd like to get them two

hands on him. Don't you worry, boy. He

shows up here, I'll know him the minute

I lay my eyes on him. Is that so? Well,

uh, I reckon I can rest easy, can I?

Darn tooting you, kid. I figure on

getting that reward money myself.

There you are. Jack's on for

[Music]

a reinforcement just in time.

[Music]

Better.

Help me out. I'll call.

Better keep your shotgun handy.

That boy looks mighty dangerous. Guess

it might need your protection. It's none

of my business if the kid wants to throw

his money away. I can't help feeling

sorry for him. He was so happy when he

came in here. He was on the way home.

I warned you not to play cards with

Jess. Then he's got it coming to him.

[Music]

Three bullets.

I'll bet the rest of this

[Music]

Too steep for me.

What do you say, Warren?

I I got your beat, Jessup.

Go ahead, then.

All right. I I'll call you

and I'll raise you, too. All I got here,

I won't even bother to count it.

Hey, what are you doing there?

My credit's good. I'll call.

All right.

Just four little kings, boys.

Sorry, Warren.

This must be my lucky night.

Hey, don't you try that on me, Jessup.

There's another ace in the deck.

Well, there was another ace. I saw it.

You must be saying things.

[Music]

Get him out of here. I think he's had

too much to drink.

[Music]

Poor kid. He was going home in style.

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Hey, wait a minute.

Where you going, Arizona? Oh, just down

the street, I guess.

Thanks for letting me use your bed. I'm

sorry you had to sleep on the floor.

Well, that's all right. I always sleep

on the floor. Your head's too big to go

through that door anyway.

You couldn't get it down the street

without pushing the buildings to one

side. Here, soak your head in this.

It'll sort of knock off some of the

corners.

Looks like you'll always go through life

learning things the hard way.

You talked too much last night. I told

you about that before.

You've been an awful good friend, but

what are you wasting your time on me

for?

I had a young brother once, a

good-hearted kid, sort of like you. He

ended up lying across a gambling table

with a bullet through him. He was a

hotthehead, same as you are. He didn't

like being cheated.

The man that shot him ran the town,

including the law.

When he heard that I was looking for

him, he sent a posy out in the hills to

get me. And there was some shooting, and

I guess the sheriff was hurt pretty bad.

That didn't help you any. This gambler

didn't know what I looked like. I guess

it made him kind of jumpy every time he

saw a stranger. So, he sold out, changed

his name, and drifted to California. And

you followed him? I've been looking for

him ever since. First, I was saving a

bullet for him. But I've had a long time

to think. I want to see him behind bars

squirming to keep his neck out of a

noose. You know who he is? I've got a

pretty good idea. It was the same fellow

that cleaned you last night. Lee, Jess,

I'm waiting until I can prove.

Come in.

Howdy, Philly. Howdy, Gabby.

Hey, I bet your head feeling bigger than

an overgrowth pumpkin. Oh, it uh got gas

cure for you. Engine remedy. Chief

Sitting Bull himself gave me the receipt

for learning how to follow a trail.

Cures aches, pains, bunions, calluses,

galloping consumption, send me your age.

Oh, no thanks. I I feel bad enough the

way it is. Well, I guess I'll be getting

along now. I left my things down at the

livery barn. Leaving town? Yeah, might

as well. Much obliged to you for

everything. I I don't know how to thank

you. No detail. The bartender at the

Yellowback has your pistol. I'll get it

to you before you leave. Oh, thanks.

That big gun down to Yellowback. I

thought I better depitize you. Makes it

legal if you kill anybody. Oh, thanks.

Now that you're my deputy, I want to

warn you about that Carson City kid.

I got an idea. He's hiding right here in

town. He's grease lightning on the draw

and mean tree full of wild cats. Uh you

you know him personally? Personally? No.

No personally? Yeah. Rode with him over

in Nevada before he turned out. Learned

him his whole bag of tricks. Well, even

showed him how to shoot. I'll keep an

eye out for him. Yeah. Just string along

with me here and maybe we'll split up

that reward money. Here you are now.

Hey, that look pretty dirty, don't it? I

better cleaned up for you.

See, that stuff could be governor of

this state if it only had a stove pipe

hat.

I guess I better be going.

Listen, Jess ain't got too many friends,

but you never can tell. I I'd be a

little much careful with my talk,

especially with this door open.

[Music]

Hey, Rick. Got a special package here

for Jess.

I hope I got the right one. Yeah, that's

it. All right. You got any money? You

know, stage coaches don't hold folks

around here for nothing. Well, uh, I got

enough. I sold a few things I don't

need. Well, I better be getting back.

Maybe I'll see you again sometime. Yeah,

I sure hope so. Here it is. What is it?

I don't know. Something valuable. You

better give it to Jessup yourself. Hey,

young fella. You better get aboard if

you're going. No, no thanks. I changed

my mind. Get up, Scotty.

M. You're no go.

I'll take the next stage.

You tell man goodbye. You stay here.

Melik a very funny country.

This just came in on the stage.

Tell Joby I want to see her a minute.

[Music]

Take a look at this.

[Music]

Very nice. The best they had in San

Francisco.

It's yours, Jodie.

The answer is no thanks.

Now, wait a minute. You could do a lot

worse. There isn't a girl in this place

wouldn't jump at the chance you've got.

I'd give you a fistful of rings. bigger

than that and more money than you knew

what to do with. What more do you want?

I'm afraid you wouldn't know. Don't try

to get smart with me, Joby, or you're

asking for trouble. I'll take that

chance. It's nice I'm leaving here

anyway. Well, no, you're not.

You're not walking out on me. You're

going to stay right here just as long as

I want you. Joby,

if you're going to have supper with me,

you better hurry and get ready.

[Music]

What do you mean walking in here like

this?

Get out.

You started to draw, Jesse.

Go ahead.

Go ahead and draw. I'm waiting.

[Music]

You're fired. Get out of here and keep

going,

both of you.

[Music]

I've been waiting for somebody to call

Heated Bluff for a long time. Much

obliged, mister. I meant what I said

about taking you to supper. I'll meet

you to China. All right. It's a date.

[Music]

Good evening, Mrs. Doby. Really happy to

see you. Hello, Wong. Can we sit here?

Oh, no. Pick this table, please.

Mr. Gabby, say this one. More better for

two love birds. Gabby. Table set for

two. I suppose Gabby even ordered for

us. Oh, yes. Very fine supper. Larry,

very soon, too. He hasn't forgotten a

thing. Oh, yes he has. My favorite tune.

How do you know what it's going to play?

Been the same for the last 2 years, but

I still like it.

[Music]

Wrong.

Oh, it's no use. Well, anyway, it went

something like this.

Please keep on shining. I know. And help

me find

someone

to love.

I fix it.

[Music]

Find someone

to love.

Some more a moon.

My heart is pining.

I need your help

from up above.

Tell all your beings

to keep on looking

[Music]

until they see the one for me.

It's up to you to make my dreams

come true.

Please do it soon.

[Music]

I meant what I told Jessup this morning.

I'm leaving town as soon as I can get

away. I am too. Only I was hoping we'd

be leaving together.

Will. When do we start?

I can't go yet. I've got a job I got to

do first.

Oh, I see. Those guns you carry are more

important than anything else.

I wouldn't put it that way. It's

something I can't explain. If you'll

only wait. My mistake. Almost forgot

myself. I should have known better.

Must have been that song.

[Music]

Put it in the safe. I'll check it over

when we close.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

The vantal

[Music]

mato Go

[Music]

ahead.

[Music]

[Music]

Hey,

don't do nothing.

[Music]

What happened? A caution city kid robbed

the safe. Well, don't stand there. Go

after him. $10,000 to the man who brings

him in.

[Music]

There he is.

Take those horses. I'll be responsible.

Hey, come here, somebody.

What happened? That dog gone Carson City

kid. My gun jammed up on me. Well, I'll

take your hole. No, you don't. I'm still

a marshal here. Get me out of this.

Sorry, Gabby, but there isn't time.

Hey, come back here. You can't do this

to me.

[Music]

Take three men, Harmon. Follow the north

part. All right.

[Music]

You seen anybody go by here? No. Who you

looking for? The Carson City Kid. If you

want to saddle up, there's a $10,000

reward.

Go ahead. We'll catch up with you.

[Music]

[Music]

Where have you been? We've been chasing

our horses a foot. The kid tied a rope

across the trail and we blamed they

broke our necks. He must be around here

somewhere. Yeah.

[Music]

Who's in that camp with you?

Nobody. Just the two of us. Well,

there's somebody there now.

We'll find out who it is. Cover that

lower trail.

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

What are you running from, Warren? I

wasn't running from nothing. I was How'd

you happen to be around this camp? Oh, I

I thought I'd try the gold fields again.

I stopped in here to bar some grub.

There was no one here. I a Don't let him

fool you. He's the Carson City kid. He's

what? Sure he is. Didn't this fell show

up in town right after that stage was

stopped? That's right. He did. Well,

that don't prove nothing. No, it don't.

But you had a lot of gold on you and you

lost it in that poker game. The next

thing we know, the kid robs the safe.

Well, he could have hidden the stuff. We

better take him into town and let that

half reed Larmy have a look at him. Come

on.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Who is he?

You pack of bungling coyotes have upset

my plans by dragging him in.

Man's innocent till he's proved guilty.

No matter what you fishing him up, I was

just waiting for him to make one false

move. Figured on catching him myself in

a fitting legal manner. Well, I ain't

the kid, I tell you. There you are. See

that? He's denying it. I out locked the

whole darn bunch of you up for taking

the law in your own hands. It's about

time somebody gave the law a hand. Get

Laramie in here. Wait a minute. That

half breed identify anybody to save his

own skin.

I'll fix that. You men line up over

there with him.

What's going on?

We think we've got the Carson City kid

out here. You're going to identify him.

Does that still stand if I tell you who

he is? I go free. That's what I said.

All right. Which one is the kid?

That's him. Why you buying him? All

right, I'm satisfied. Turn this man

loose and get ready for a hanging. Oh,

no you don't. You ain't going to hang

nobody without a fair trial. Trial? What

for? This place ain't going to get no

Hang Town reputation. Not for long as

Gabby Whitaker's marshall. But you

promise. And you're going to be the main

witness. All right, Whitaker. We'll have

a trial if you insist

at the Yellowback.

All right, put him in the left shell

block. I'll put Lar back where he come

from.

You got to try him first and then hang

him.

that ever happened.

[Music]

Seems to know you pretty well, doesn't

he? He is kind of friendly.

Where are you going in such a hurry? I

hear they arrested Scott Warren. I think

he's the Carson City Kid. man named

Laramly identified.

Warren isn't the kid, is he?

Well, no, he isn't.

That's the kid's horse, isn't it?

That's right.

Your horse. Right again.

Well, you better get away from me before

everybody in town knows it. Joby,

does it make any difference now that you

know who I am? But you're an outlaw.

That means you're hunted. Every man in

town ready to shoot you down. I don't

even want to think about it.

[Music]

It isn't my fault. There's a reason.

You've got to believe me. I suppose

you'll try to help. I won't know what's

going to happen to you.

I've got to do it. The only chance he

has is for me to prove that he is in the

course of city. That is so dangerous.

How can you possibly do it? I don't

know.

Order in this court. Order.

Order. Order. Order. Order in the court.

I suppose everyone knows why we're

holding this trial. We aim to prove that

Scott Warren is the notorious road agent

known as the Carson City Kid and that he

robbed the safe here at the Yellowback.

Arman, stand up.

What makes you think the safe was robbed

by the Carson City Kid? Well, he was

about the right size and he spoke

Spanish, but I could tell he was an

American. Is that all? That's all the

description there ever was of the kid.

All right, tell us what happened.

Well, I was in the office.

You used to be the kid's partner, wasn't

you?

That's right.

Is that him over there?

Yeah, that's him. Are you sure? I guess

I ought to know. I've been with him

every day for the last 2 or 3 months.

You always did have a bad memory, Larie.

[Music]

If you're the Carson City kid, what are

you doing here? Proving that you're

trying to hang the wrong man.

Is this the money belt that was stolen

from Jessup's safe?

Yeah.

Yeah. This is it.

And this must be yours, too. It's got

some letters in it. Letters? Well, I

don't know anything about any letters. I

don't know what you're talking about.

They're not mine.

Looks like I made a mistake.

Rams.

Reynolds. What does he mean by Reynolds?

Morgan Reynolds. The name he used over

Nevada when he shot my brother.

[Music]

I declare Scott Warren free of the

charges against him. And if you've got

any stomach for it, Harmon, get a posy

and see if you can capture the Carson

City Kid.

Uh,

it ain't no use.

I'm glad to see you free, son. Before I

go. Don't talk like that, Gabby. You'll

be all right.

Just like somebody hit me with a rock.

My life blood fast, Joby.

It's his engine remedy.

I'll have sued somebody for this.

[Music]

All of Sasen City. Is it all right for a

fella to kiss her bride? It's all right

with me if it's all right with her. All

aboard if you're going.

Bye. Well, so long, Gabby. Goodbye, boy.

Bye, Warren. So long, kid.

Get out.
