Cold Spring, 18 miles.

Durango, 4.

Well, I reckon 4 miles is better.

Huh, Sonny?

You recognize him?

No, I've never seen him before.

Well, we'll look him over.

Howdy, stranger.

You heading for Durango?

Yeah, looks to me like a pretty good place to water my horse and get some hay for him and some feed for the inner

man.

Durango ain't the worst place in the world.

Well, I won't say it's the best.

Well, your gentleman's recommendation is good enough for me.

We'd like to keep you company.

That is, if you don't mind.

Well, I know.

I'd be glad to have you side me in.

You know, I've been riding alone so long, I find myself talking to my horse.

Is this the best hotel you got in town?

One of them.

I've seen better, and I've seen worse.

You're sort of pessimistic, huh, brother?

Huh?

I mean, you don't seem to feel in the best of spirits this morning.

Well, I felt better, and I felt worse.

I see.

Sort of neutral, huh?

This way.

The reception room's in there.

I'll notify the proprietor you're here and looking for accommodations.

Well, I didn't know that Durango would be that much interest in my arrival.

Durango ain't, but some of the people are.

I see.

Just go right on in and make yourself at home.

You'll be well taken care of.

Thanks.

Now, you stay here.

I'll go get Kelton.

Well, this is a rather nice little reception room.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Only I thought you might be interested in knowing that we got a fellow that answers the description of that umbrella

you've been making inquiries about.

Well, we got him.

Open the lockup.

All right, we'll take a look at him.

It's him.

It's him.

It's him, all right, but who's him?

Cheyenne.

Cheyenne after all these years.

Wait.

You can't kill him here.

All right.

I can't kill him here.

And maybe before I get him, he'll get me.

That's the gamble.

That's my business.

Gambling.

All right.

Turn him loose when I get out of here.

Say, gents, there seems to be some sort of a mystery here.

If one of you gents would tell me what it's all about, I'd be much obliged.

Oh, we was looking for somebody else, that's all.

I see.

And I take it you don't want me.

No, shucks.

We was looking for another fellow all the time.

Sure, you look like him, but you ain't him.

Mistaken identity, huh?

Well, suppose one of you fellas opened that door, I'd have come out of shooting and killed one of you fellas.

And then said I'd made a mistake.

Oh, of course, I can see that neither one of you fellas had anything to do with my being here.

So let's forget it.

You couldn't tell me a good place to eat, could you?

Yeah, the Durango's across the street.

It's a good place for a game and a little shot of red eye.

Well, I'll tell you, fellas, I'm pretty well caught up on my dragon.

But if you lead me to that grub pile, I'll sure follow you.

I can see Durango's going to be some hospitable place.

Now, ain't that nice?

We aim to be hospitable.

Say, say, that reminds me.

Of what?

Well, the day I put the notch in this here gun.

I'll tell you how it was, it was a fella named Cherokee Jones.

Maybe you heard of him.

Well, one day he started coming for me with one of these here things.

But he plumb missed me with both barrels.

Must have been drinking or something.

So I went that day and put the notch in this here gun.

You know, not to be boasting or anything, but just remember old Cherokee, bud.

Something tells me we shouldn't have brung him in.

Well, it was your idea.

If anything happens to me, I'm going to blame you.

Town folks of Durango can certainly thank their lucky stars that you've the courage of your convictions, Mr. Hanson.

Hayden, it's my business to print the truth.

And from what I've seen in Durango, the truth's been covered long enough.

If my paper can make this a law-abiding place for decent citizens to live in, well, then I guess I've been repaid.

Hanson, I warned you that you and your paper are not welcome in Durango.

I've heard that before, Mr. Kelton.

But it seems to me it's up to the citizens of Durango, not you as an individual, to say whether my paper and me are

welcome or not.

I'm the one who decides that, Hanson.

You ain't welcome.

If you run that press, I'll run it.

I'll make you eat every word of it.

Oh, no, you won't.

You know, I've heard that printer's ink is indigestible.

And I've also heard that there's a heat poisonous to some people's systems.

You're a stranger, mister.

Most likely you don't know it, but I run Durango.

All of which leads me to believe that maybe you've run Durango too long.

Go on, put your little strip up, mister.

Hanson's the name.

I'd like to talk to you alone.

All right.

You know, I've got a heap of talk I want to say to you, too.

Alone.

You know, before Kelton gets through with that stranger, he'll have him bored off, or scared off.

It ain't no use.

I might just as well quit.

How are they?

Well, Kelton, you haven't changed a bit.

The same old load down yours was.

Now you know better than that.

You know, if I wasn't interested in just what your game is in Durango, you and me'd have a showdown right now.

Ten years ago, I run you out of Pine Flats.

Then we met down in the Platt country.

And now we meet again.

This time it's my deal with Aces Wild.

Tell me, how much will you take to forget who you ever were in Durango?

Are you trying to bribe me, Mr. Kelton?

Shame on you.

Well, well, if they're in the same old safe.

Same old safe that you had up in the Pine Flats country?

Down in the Platt?

Say, you know, that must be a pretty good one.

It's been blown up twice.

Say, you and I never did get along.

Never could and never will.

We don't speak the same language.

Well, you understand enough of mine to get this.

I'll give you just 48 hours to shake the dust of Durango out of your boots.

If you're still here, I'll...

You'll what?

You or me.

It can't be both of us in Durango.

By golly, you're right.

Well, there'll just be one.

All right, boys.

What is this?

Gosh, we didn't know, but maybe something happened to you.

There's going to be plenty happening, but we've got to work fast.

There's enough in that safe to make us independent.

We'll crack it, and before the smoke clears, we'll be on our way.

First, I'm going to get...

Cheyenne.

Come on.

You having a

little trouble getting out your newspaper, mister?

Nothing but difficulty.

You know, Kelton runs Durango, and he's sure death on me and my newspaper.

Well, if Kelton's against your newspaper, I'm for it.

How would you like a partner?

Where would I get a partner?

I ain't got a chance to print a paper.

I'll be your partner.

You will?

So...

Any price you say.

Why, I'd even sell out for a $10 bill today.

Well, you won't have to.

I'll tell you what you do.

You get this old press oiled up.

I'll drop in on you later.

Hey, boss, could I speak to you a minute?

Why, sure.

You see, I'm the best horse wrangler this side of the pack.

But I ain't got no horse to wrangle.

All I got is a mule.

I'll tell you what you do.

You see that buckskin horse down there?

Yeah.

Well, you go on down there and wrangle him.

I'm going here in the restaurant and get something to eat.

When I come back, I'll tell you what to do.

Go ahead.

Yes.

Come on, Alawooshus.

There he is now.

Go ahead.

Provoke him to a quarrel.

Rile him up.

Get him to draw his gun.

Hick, that'll be your time to get him.

And the quicker we get him, the better.

Uh-oh.

See what I see?

Terry!

Hey, hang on here, Alawooshus.

Come on.

Yeah.

Come on, take it.

That a boy.

Here's one for you, too.

What are you doing?

Stealing them carrots?

No, sir.

I ain't stealing nothing.

I'm just borrowing them.

That's all.

Well, you're going to borrow some lead.

Put them back there.

You wouldn't regret the horse and the mule and even myself of a carrot, would you?

You know what we do with thieves down here?

No, sir.

We hang them.

By the neck?

Yeah.

Neck.

Until you're dead.

What's the matter?

Oh, this lowlife has been stealing some carrots.

Oh, forget it.

He's working for me.

I told him to buy some carrots.

Hey, since when is he working for you, mister?

He's been hanging around this town for days.

And you just entered here a little while ago with us.

Well, I wouldn't have entered it if I knew what kind of a polecat you was.

Are you calling me a polecat?

What does it sound like to you, mister?

Why, you!

Can't you take a joke, mister?

Can't you see I'm laughing?

I saw what happened.

That Slim Bartlett, one of Kelton's cutthroats.

Yeah, I know.

I rode into town with him this morning.

Well, tell you, Anson, looks to me like you're going to have plenty of exciting news to publish in the newspaper.

You're going to need some extra help.

Snowflake.

Yeah?

Here's just a man for you.

You can bear down on that old press of yours and bring the type and sweep up.

Can't you, Snowflake?

Yes, sir.

Well, we're partners.

He's hired.

Now, you remember, you remember telling me about that old fellow that ran the restaurant over there that died kind of

sudden?

Uh-huh.

I don't believe you told me his name, did you?

I thought maybe I knew him.

Well, Edward has a daughter about 14 or 15.

She had worse.

He and I rode in the same outfit together until he got hurt with an old brock rolling over on him.

Where'd he live, here in town?

Down the stage line on the way to Paiute.

Little, little greenhouse all covered with ivy and flowers.

You can't miss it.

Oh, I reckon I'll find it.

I guess I'll just take me a ride out that way.

Well, come on, Snowflake, and I'll show you your chores.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, does I leave Alan Winters here, my mule?

Leave him here.

Leave him.

Come on.

That was a lot of trouble.

I'll see if he can get this straight.

There he is now.

Go ahead and see where he goes.

Well, we can do that, all right.

I'll get him.

Who's there?

Why, it's me, miss.

Uh, I'm a, I'm an old friend of your father's.

I just rode into town this morning and I heard about your trouble and thought I'd come out and see if there's anything

I could do for you.

You don't need to be afraid of me miss.

My name is Morgan Harry Morgan.

Shy and I am a friend call me.

Yeah I'm an old friend of your dad.

You know I used to ride range together good many years ago.

Long before you were born I reckon.

Are you shy and Harry the marshal from down.

Yes man I was.

Marshal down there for quite a spell.

She I didn't hear about.

Your dad's passing on till this morning.

I miss I didn't mean to come up here to worry again but why did it have to be my day.

Well it's.

That's what I come up here to find out.

Miss.

You know what your dad ever had any trouble with Kelvin.

Or anyone else in this town.

Right here in this room.

What about.

I don't know exactly.

It was over some papers I think that that you didn't tell me to keep for him in his place they were mining papers that

he won the best by counting that he'd give them to him when he gave him the money you owe.

I don't think that he ever wrote anything.

But everybody in town here uses Kelton safe to keep their money and papers in the only safe in town.

You know I'm slightly acquainted with Mr Kelton.

And I'm very well acquainted with that old thing.

So you wouldn't give your dad back his mining papers unless you pay him some money.

When your dad refused why this happened to him.

It's.

What do I do.

Oh I reckon it's as good a time as any for a show down but I mean.

I wrote out to tell you how sorry I was to learn of your father's accident Martha.

It didn't by any chance come to tell her who did it.

I saw your horse outside so I expect to see you.

And I don't you'd be a bit surprised if you see me around quite often Martha's father gave you for safekeeping.

Stranger you take a lot on your shoulders Mr while you talk as though I had something to do with worse beating up with

that forty five.

The world.

But you have a pretty good idea who did do it.

And one more thing.

Don't send any of them hard killers over to pick a quarrel with me.

I always prefer to meet the principal.

Himself.

Now look here Martha.

Come on.

Don't put your hand on that gun.

Or you won't see the sun down tonight.

Come on get going.

You're frightening little lady.

You.

Are just we're just went into the thin air we're had no getting there fast.

I.

Open the door honey.

I'm sorry I miss all this had to happen just after you've been through so much trouble I'm only sorry my pop wasn't

here to seek help and get it.

Well I reckon it's about four hours till sundown.

And you've got to come on into town with me you'll be a lot safer there you've got a horse here.

I'll get it won't take me long.

To shine and thank you kind of nervous about sundown Oh Lord no.

Sundown got to come for all of us.

Why worry.

We won't wait to clean that safe.

You boys get back to the shack get plenty of fuels and powder and meet me back in town and after we blast the safe

then what Calvin Yeah we split right away or do we have to wait.

I always cut you boys in equal with me haven't I.

Get going.

When do we split.

Up.

That's our friend Kelton Yes and he was coming from daddy's claim.

I wonder what he was doing there I don't know there's nothing there but a hole in the ground where daddy said there was

plenty of gold he'd only had the money to dig it out.

Well if the gold's in the ground it'll be safe from Kelvin.

You don't like to work well enough to dig it up.

But.

You can see the tunnel from here.

Well I'd sure like to know what he was doing in there so what I.

Were going to find out.

You've got everything ready sure I told that fellow Hansen that he couldn't run a paper in the rank and I'm going to

keep my word I want you to fix enough powder but that paper out of business once and for all what's the use of that

if we're going to clear out of here what do we care what he does you'll do as I tell you a call right.

Once you've done that while the people are trying to figure out what happened I want you to blast the safe I'd be

playing cards with the sheriff.

Once you've got the safe planted on the fuselage make yourself seen in the streets somewhere so you'll be in the clear

to get me sure that's easy.

When do we touch a safe as near sundown as you figure.

He seems kind of worried about sundown.

I would be too I know it's sundown it's going to be me or someone else.

When you.

I ain't saying out of anchor for such a situation.

I want me to do anything.

Now we just thought we'd leave here in a shade that's all pretty hot over in the street you don't mind oh that's all

right you'll leave them there all day if you want to.

Just think you want to take to come in and.

We've got to keep our eyes open you're bad.

Oh it's not like you know.

They're going to send me down to the blacksmith shop and I'm trying not to let you.

You know and then what do I do and then you come back here and do whatever Mr Hansen tells you.

You're working for him I guess.

All this looks to be as good a place as any go on in.

I'll show you what we do with a bomb we made.

The man who I work for that you look at this one.

That's how I do it look at our feet you know that's what I thought.

You need to.

Do you put it on and I'll be right back.

All right I think.

All we've got to do is get high up and aim for the front of the newspaper office and let her go and when she

hits she explodes and when she explodes I know we're around.

Who's going to shoot this bomb into the newspaper office your me well I ain't going to be me now I suppose I got to

do it pick up that stuff and come on.

We.

Do.

You suppose you heard it maybe we'd better hurry anyway.

I.

Know I would do Miss Danza but just roll it forward and I'll show you how we run the test.

Yeah what's the matter with you boy you've seen a ghost.

They said I'm going to blow up this place.

Come on and you let's get this press coming up.

On the back room.

That's fifty you owe me your deal we'll settle at the end of the game.

What time you got.

About five thirty.

You folks stay right here don't go back in that office no matter what you do I'm going to slip around the corner and

see if I can get my on those fellows with a bomb.

All right like it.

It worked.

I would fix a safe.

Whoever did that didn't accomplish what they set out to do what happened I tried to wreck the place all I did was blow

out a window and the press covered over the room and that I wonder who done that.

Well that's kind of your worry isn't it Mr Sheriff.

By the way what what time is the sunset in Durango well this time of year about six o'clock why well the reason I

asked you was because about that time is going to be another explosion.

More important than this one.

I wonder what I meant by that who is he.

Guy and Harry.

He's been gone from me for years.

They've noticed today it's his life or mine.

Well I don't want to know why I'd be here maybe I'd lock him up.

Why is that I just assume get it over with.

You ready.

When can we go.

Anytime you say but how about the stuff in the same how we're going to get it out after we crack it it's out already.

What are you trying to do double crosses.

Yeah how about it.

I haven't yet have I know but you might know get this straight I've got enough evidence to hang a parry any time I

want.

Get out of here wait for me downstairs I like to fuse.

Go on go on.

Go.

On a word with you.

Say what you've got to say but I'm in a hurry I'm in a hurry to.

The papers you've got to say.

The ownership of his claim.

Want me to refresh your memory.

Come on I'm waiting.

I can't remember the combination.

I don't know that somewhere.

You know when.

That's solid like it came from my place you're up there let's go and see what happened.

Got a lot of.

A lot of.

Well if you.

Thought it was going to take my own.

But you can't take that.

You know.

Come on you know you want to get away with everything.

You're just wasting your time trying to hang this thing on me.

I can't have been working this racket for years moves into a town where there's no bank gets the people to deposit

their money and valuables and he's safe.

He cleans the safe and high tails you know maybe you're right well let's get killed don't let him get away sheriff I'd

have to die of every man in this room I'm with me.

I'm.

What happened snowflake they shot him they've done and then to the Jews are going with this morning.

Take him right along with me and Sonny.

But you're going to be OK.

I'm going to be.

All right.

Get your horses everyone we're not coming back till we get out and then his gunman.

We thought maybe we're trying to give us a slip.

You know better than that we've got to work fast everything that was in that safe the money papers that give the right

to this mind and other things are in that bag take one half but you boys can split the other between you.

You're getting plum careless Kelton where's your gun.

Well.

like this I've always played fair with you boys yeah sure you have but we ain't playing anymore we're going to take

No.

So long.

You're right, Cheyenne, and the sun's in your eyes for the last time.

You're

right, Cheyenne, and the sun's in your eyes for the last time.

Sheriff, I...

Oh, just the other way around.

We're in debt to you, Cheyenne.

Oh, thanks.

Mr. Hanson, you'll take good care of Martha, huh?

Sure will.

And remember, my share in the old newspaper goes to her.

But where are you going, Mr. Cheyenne?

Well, I'll tell you, honey.

Always had a hankering to...

To see some money.
