Ah... ah..

There's somebody in here.

Whoever you are, drop your gun and come out.

Ah..

We just came in to see about a house mortgage.

A Warner Brothers' television production.

'I'll call.'

Ten cents?

That's too steep for me.

Well, you must have a pretty good hand, Junior.

Just tolerable.

If they'd been aces, I might have raised you a nickel.

You win, Junior.

You're a real sport.

I warn you, Junior, I'm gonna open the next hand for a dime.

Did I hear you say ten cents?

Well, Bret Maverick..

Last time we met was in Saint Louis, wasn't it?

You wanna watch this sort of thing, Bret.

Don't get in over your head.

Just killing time, Tamblyn.

On my way out of Denver, my horse stepped in a gopher hole

and got a bit lame.

Denver, eh? That's where I'm heading.

You wanna sit in a hand or two with us, stranger?

Oh, no thanks. I leave these high powered games

up to my old friend Maverick here.

Mr. Maverick..

Your horse is coming along pretty good.

But you ain't gonna be able to make to it Kansas City

for a bit yet.

You mean, she's not well enough to saddle up?

If you're just goin' as far back as Denver, I'd say yes but..

All the way to Kansas City, I don't know.

I'd wait another day or two if I was you.

I'd take his advice. Wait a day or so.

Sure. Then we can get in an extra evening or two of poker.

Oh, great.

Maybe I can help you out, Maverick ol' buddy.

If you're in a hurry, I'll tell you wait I'll do.

- I'll trade you horses. - What's the catch?

There's no catch

I saw your horse at the livery stable, it's a good animal.

You wanna get to Kansas City, I just want to get to Denver.

Just a kind offer. Take it or leave it.

He does have a nice horse, Mr. Maverick.

I saw him out in front. You won't be getting gypped.

Tamblyn, I never knew you to do anything

that there wasn't something in it for you.

But I wanna... get out of this town and on to Kansas City.

So I'll take a chance.

If you're on the up and up, I'll but you dinner next time.

You won't regret it, Maverick.

Okay, boy, throw a saddle on Mr. Maverick's horse

I wanna make Denver before morning.

Good luck, old friend.

Are you Mr. Maverick?

That's him over there.

Safe journey.

I, uh..

I got a wire for you from Denver, Mr. Maverick.

We've been looking for you in every town

halfway to Kansas City.

I'm afraid I can't read your writing.

Oh, I just scribbled it in a hurry.

Here, let me read it for you.

"I'll forget I ordered you to stay out of Denver

"if you'll be back in my office

"at two o'clock next Monday.

"Against my better judgment. Marshal K. K. Ratcliffe.

Denver, Colorado."

You have a brush with the law in Denver, Mr. Maverick?

No, just a misunderstanding, that's all.

Tomorrow's Monday. If you going to leave

you gonna have to leave pretty quick now.

Gee, we won't get to play no more poker.

Well, I'll try to bare up.

There goes your pal, Tamblyn.

Oh, well, I'll make him trade back when I get to Denver.

Oh, Sheriff Benson here?

Sheriff Benson? He ain't been in here.

Then what's his horse doing tied up in front of your store?

Who does this animal belong to?

Like I just said, the Sheriff.

What's the matter, mister?

You've been taken with a spell?

No, just taken.

In spite of my horse thieving friend

I managed to make Denver on time.

I didn't exactly travel in style... but I got there.

Well, ol' girl, you got me here by two o'clock.

I guess my 20 dollars and 20 cents wasn't wasted after all.

'It's alright, Maverick. Come on in. I'm a man of my word.'

Well, you can't blame me for being cautious, marshal.

Just three days ago, you told me if I ever showed up

in Denver again, you'd lock me up.

Maverick, I'm a lawman.

I'm just doing my job.

Now, if you imagined that I'd get any personal pleasure

out of seein' you in jail, you'd be absolutely right.

Well, I guess I'm just not your type, marshal.

Well..

In all honesty, I found out you were telling the truth.

Those marked cards weren't yours.

Well, of course not.

Uh, but you didn't ask me to come here..

Oh, uh..

Meet Colonel Dutton. This is Bret Maverick.

How are you, colonel?

'Colonel Dutton here's the president'

'of the Denver State Bank.'

I'll get right to the point, Mr. Maverick.

We need you to help locate a gambler... and quick.

- Oh, what does he look like? - We don't know that.

- What's his name? - We don't know that either.

- But we do... - I don't get it.

You want me to find some gambler and you..

Don't know a thing about him, not even what he looks like.

If you stop interrupting and let me explain.

We have reliable information from New York

that an expert safe cracker has come West.

He's successfully broken into several Eastern banks

never been caught.

And he seems to specialize in bank vaults

like the one we have at the Denver State Bank.

Well, now you talking about a safe cracker.

Minute ago you were talking about a gambler.

Please let me finish, Mr. Maverick.

The Pinkerton Detective Agency of New York

has been working on these robberies back there

and all they've been able to find out

about this safe cracker is, that he's a gambler.

He plays poker, I believe.

And, uh, he likes to live in swank hotels.

He must not be a very good poker player if he has to rob banks.

I wouldn't know.

'Oh yes, there's one other thing.'

He, uh, he has two companions in his, uh..

Nefarious activities.

And of course, you don't know what their names are

or what they look like.

'Now, it's my idea, Maverick'

that if you hang around the hotel poker tables

why, you might spot some suspicious gambler

who's a stranger in Denver.

Now, you know most of the regular players

'so it shouldn't be hard for you to spot the man we're after.'

- If he's in Denver. - And if I find him?

Come and tell me.

I'll have a couple of deputies follow his every move.

Yes, sir, like I always say, "It takes a thief to catch a thief".

Why, I don't like the way you put that, marshal.

Oh, ha, no offence, Maverick, it's just an expression.

Maybe I should have said, "Birds of a feather flock together".

Well, I don't like that any better.

"Takes one to know one?"

Look, marshal..

Few days you ran me outta town for something I didn't do.

Now you asked me to come back and do some detective work

that you can't handle. Now you insult me.

- Good day, gentlemen. - Ah, Maverick..

You understand I'm prepared to pay all of your expenses

and a 1000 dollar bonus if you find this safe cracker.

Well..

Colonel Dutton, I like your choice of words

better than I do the marshal's.

Do you understand the problem?

Oh, I think so.

You want me to check into the Denver House..

Rove around the poker tables and..

See if I can find any stranger

who might be your Eastern safe cracking friend.

It's very important that we locate this criminal

who has a chance to break into the vault of my bank.

I'm very proud of the fact, that the Denver State Bank has never

had a dollar stolen from it in it's entire history.

I imagine you could be a pretty tough hombre.

So, don't you go getting heroic yourself.

I'll try to remember that, marshal.

Bret!

Well, Foursquare Farley! What're you doing here?

Uh, why, having a drink.

No, I mean, here in Denver. Last time I saw you was in Texas.

Well, that was six years ago, right?

- Something for you, sir? - Ah, no, thank you.

How have you been?

You look as if the world is treating you well.

Well..

The more they treat me, the better I like it.

How's the barbering business?

Oh, I'm not a barber any longer. I gave that up a long time ago.

Then I became a copter, but I gave that up too

and became a brick layer.

Well, you're dressed considerably better

than most brick layers I've known.

I'm not a brick layer any longer, Bret.

I'm a gambler.

'Like you.'

- You've become what? - A gambler.

I specialize in dealing Blackjack.

You, a Blackjack dealer?

I run my own game, Bret.

'Doing rather well too.'

Well, you must have been pretty lucky.

Best way I know to lose your shirt is with Blackjack.

One run of bad luck and you lose your whole stake.

That is true. And I've had my runs of bad luck.

But you see, I can't be wiped out.

I have an unlimited stake behind me

'all the money I need.'

Sooner or later I start winning again

and I pay back my losses.

You have a financial backer

with unlimited funds for Blackjack?

Something like that.

Well, you got a good thing going.

And if anybody deserves a break, you do.

'You're always trying to do something for somebody else.'

Oh, I just try to get along, Bret.

I'm mad at nobody.

Uh, can I buy you a drink?

Well, not like that one.

There is something you might be able to tell me.

Alright, what?

Well, I'm looking for a man.

Well, he's a gambler and since you are in the business

thought you might have seen him.

Maybe I have. What does he look like?

Well, nobody seems to know.

He's a stranger around here.

Not one of the regular gamblers.

Actually he's not a gambler at all, he's a safe cracker.

'marshal seems to think he's gonna'

'take a crack at the vault in the Denver State Bank.'

I thought that maybe if you... saw a strange player around..

Foursquare?

What happened?

Well, I don't know, he must have fainted.

I hope it's nothing serious, he's a nice guy.

Yeah.

He's a friend of mine. Do you know where he lives?

Well, I played Blackjack at his house a couple of times.

Want us to give you a hand packing him home?

- It isn't far. - Thank you.

There we go.

I hope his door isn't locked.

If I remember Foursquare, it won't be.

He trusts everybody.

Quite a place, huh?

Yeah.

So this is where he holds his Blackjack games, huh?

He must have been mighty lucky.

He spent lot of money on furnishing.

I was here one night when a San Francisco chap

had a real run of luck.

He won about twenty thousand from Foursquare.

Really?

Twenty thousand will break most Blackjack tables.

Come on. Let's get him to bed.

Alright, here we go.

- Hmm. - Ah, there we go.

- Ah. - No, no, just hold still.

Looks like he's gonna be alright.

If you can take care of him..

I better get back to my job.

Oh, fine. Well, thank you for your help.

Here you go, Foursquare.

Somehow you don't mind doing things

for a nice guy like Foursquare.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

Gee, I'm sorry, Bret, I..

I didn't mean to pass out on you in that way.

Must've been something I ate.

Or it's more like something that I said.

You passed out just about the time I told you about the, uh

safe cracker was trying to get..

Here, hold it, hold it, hold it.

Hey, that's it, isn't it?

You're worried about somebody robbing the bank?

Did..

Did you ever borrow money from a bank, Bret?

Well, there was a time or two, but..

You forget. You have to prove you don't need money

to borrow money from a bank.

Well, I borrow money from a bank.

The one next door, the Denver State Bank.

To run your gambling table?

Oh, yes, as much as I like.

Oh, well, now, I've never known you to lie, Foursquare, but..

You mean to tell me that you have got the bank to give you

unlimited backing for a gambling house?

What're you doing? Blackmailing the President?

You know I wouldn't do that, Bret.

That would be dishonest.

'You remember I told you that I was a brick layer?'

Well, that was..

About two years ago.

Just after I bought this little house.

One of my first jobs was

to rebuild the vault of the Denver State Bank.

- That's right next door. - 'Yes.'

I was to put put brick on all four walls of the vault

and the walls were to be thick too.

'Five deep, as a matter of fact.'

I did a good job.

Used plenty of mortar..

Except, in one small spot

where I put only one layer of brick.

Any idea where you are, Bret?

Well, I have a pretty good idea.

We're in the vault of the Denver State Bank.

Right you are!

I've never bothered to count it, of course

but there must be a couple of million dollars in here.

Give or take a thousand or two.

I keep records of what I borrow

'so I can keep my accounts straight.'

You keep records of what you borrow?

Whenever you want money, you just come in and take it?

'How much have you taken?'

Oh, quite a bit, I guess.

But I paid it all back.

Right now, I don't owe the vault a dime.

I've even opened a savings account with the bank.

'Well, it was the least I could do.'

Foursquare, do you really realize what you're doing?

The way you go about it

the bank is actually paying you interest on their money.

'And if you ever get caught'

Methuselah himself wouldn't be able

to stand the sentence they're gonna throw at you.

Well, that's why I fainted when you said

there was a safe cracker around.

If he ever managed to break into the vault and steal the money

there'd be a big investigation

'and my secret door would be found out for sure.'

And me with it.

I think you're beginning to get the picture.

Please help me, Bret.

Your pappy and I were old friends.

Well... alright.

Ah, but you gotta promise..

You'll brick up your secret door.

Suppose some crook found out about that door

your life wouldn't be worth a plugged nickel.

'Oh, and another thing..'

'...you gotta give up your Blackjack games.'

It's only a matter of time until some card-sharp shows up

and cleans you out.

Oh, I wish I were the brave type.

You mean the dishonest type, don't you?

No. The brave type.

Come on, let's get out of here

and see if we can find that safe cracker.

I think we found him.

What can we do now?

Well, it's gonna take whoever it is out there

some time to feel out the combination.

If we hurry, we can take all the money out of here

and put it in your bedroom. When they come in

they'll find the place empty and leave.

Then we take the money and bring it back in. We'll be the wiser.

Come on.

Blimey, lads, this should be the richest haul yet.

Aye?

Button your lip.

Boss needs silence so he can hear the tumblers.

What do you mean I need the silence?

I could crack this safe with a

hundred canons around me.

How much do you suppose we'll get out of this one, boss?

Ah, it's a pretty rich bank, I understand.

Maybe a million..

Maybe more.

How about that! God!

Hurry up, Foursquare, we haven't got much time.

Can you imagine those crooks?

Tryin' to rob the bank.

Driscoll, get the bags ready, I've just about got it.

That should do it.

Oh.

Pays to stick with Big Ed, doesn't it, boys?

It's as empty as Mother Hubbard's cupboard.

'It's a trick of some kind. Let's get out of here.'

'Quiet down.'

There's something wrong here.

But I don't think it's a trick.

What'd you mean, governor?

It's my belief that the Denver State Bank is broke.

They haven't got a dime.

All that work for nothing.

No... maybe not for nothing.

You got an idea?

I can't hear 'em talking anymore.

I think they've gone.

We better wait a while to make sure before we put the

money back in the vault.

Move over, Foursquare.

I wanna see what it's like to rest on top of two million.

- Oh, colonel, sir. - 'Yes?'

Mr. Murphy wants to see you. He's been waiting.

Murphy? Murphy? I don't know any Murphy.

- Well, show him in. - Yes, sir.

'Mr. Murphy, colonel.'

Oh, you're Colonel Dutton

President of the Denver State Bank. Well, well, well.

I must say you look honest enough.

Now, see here!

Tut-tut, Dutton.

You can come off your high horse now, I know all about it.

'You know all about what?'

Stop the sham, colonel.

I know that your bank's on the verge of bankruptcy.

'But I don't think your depositors do. Not yet, anyway.'

My bank on the verge of bankruptcy? Are you crazy, man?

We're the soundest bank, west of the Mississippi.

We've got over two million in capital!

Stop playing games, colonel.

I've got some pretty... reliable information that says

that your bank hasn't got one red penny in the vault.

What did you do with the money, did you hide it away somewhere?

You must be about ready to take it on the lamb.

Don't worry, colonel, your secret is safe with me..

For a price, that is.

Say, um... $50,000?

If I were younger, I'd take you out and whip you

within an inch of your life.

Best thing I can do now is to have you thrown out!

Throw this monster out of here.

And don't let him come back.

Alright, colonel, throw me out.

Wait till I spread the word that your bank is broke. You'll have

some explaining to do when you have a run on the bank.

You see, it happens that I know... your vault is empty.

I can handle any amount of withdrawals, mister..

Whoever you are.

But I don't want anybody to worry about their account.

Fred, George, let's take this man out.

Show him our vault.

Fred, has the vault been opened this morning?

No, sir. I was about to when you rang the emergency.

Does that look like an empty vault?

Throw him out, boys.

Will you knock it off?

You've had enough already.

Blimey, boss, I'm only calming me nerves.

You say, the vault was full boss. How could that be?

We were in there ourselves it was bare as a baby.

I saw it... just an hour ago.

It was loaded with money.

More than we thought we'd find when we opened it.

So we're gonna crack it again tonight.

It'll be easier now that I have the combination.

Now, I want you two at the bank..

Yeah, at 11:30 tonight.

In the meantime, don't do anything to attract attention.

If you need me, I'll be playing poker at the Denver House.

'Well, Mr. Murphy..'

your luck doesn't seem to be running very good tonight.

It'll get better.

Ah, there is a new superstition.

Uh, you always do better along towards tonight?

That's my business, friend. Just deal.

I'm sure that's the same voice I heard

through your bedroom wall last night.

Evening, gentlemen. I see you have an empty seat.

Mind if I join in? I'm eager to play a little poker.

Good, now, sit down, sit down.

My name is Bret Maverick, I'm in the horse trading business.

The name here is Morgan, Greg Morgan, stocks and bonds.

And I'm Bob Reeves, sir. Mostly retired.

But I dabble a bit in the import business.

Murphy.

Well, glad to know you, Mr. Murphy.

You're from the east?

Yeah.

Well, shall we get on with the game?

Yeah, yeah, I'm eager for a night of poker.

No, wait a minute, fellas.

You better count me out.

I've gotta meet a couple of..

Some friends.

Uh, I think you better count me out too, gentlemen.

But I thought you were looking forward to a game of poker.

Well, I wasn't looking too hard.

He's our man alright, Foursquare.

After I heard him talk a little, I was sure of it.

Said he had to meet some friends but..

I have a hunch that they're gonna

have another crack at the bank vault.

Ugh.

Come on now, Foursquare, don't faint.

We got things to do. Now, come on.

Open up.

Well, at least

if they're showing up tonight, we beat 'em here, come on.

I know it's in there. I've seen it with my own eyes.

Now, let's see. The combination was 16-42-35.

This will only take a second.

I wore myself out last night carrying this money

back and forth, I... don't know whether I can go on.

You have to, if get caught they'll throw the book at us.

I don't wanna get you in trouble. I'll turn myself in.

That way, maybe the court will be lenient with me.

Yeah, you'll only get 60 years instead of 75.

Remember, Bret

"Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage."

And brick laying the way you do

doesn't make a very good bank vault. Now, come on.

Forty two.

Bret.

We can't make it.

The safe cracker has a combination.

Now he'll have it opened any second.

No, he won't.

You just keep at it, I'll make us some more time.

It's not even open.

Must have missed one of the numbers.

Latimer, hold the lantern a little higher this time.

Alright.

Try it over again.

Sixteen.

We made it.

I can still hear 'em workin' on the combination.

To think, lads, we'll have our hands on millions

in just a few minutes.

It can't be.

Empty.

- 'I don't get it.' - That's the whole idea.

'There's something fishy going on here.'

I saw the money.

Just this morning with my own eyes, I saw it.

Well, it ain't here now, that's for sure.

- You calling me a liar? - Oh, no, boss, of course not.

Nobody makes a sucker out of Big Ed Murphy, understand?

Nobody.

I'll get to the bottom of this.

- What are you gonna do? - Me?

We!

We're gonna stay here in the vault until just before

the bank opens in the morning.

Then we'll lock the vault door and watch from outside

the bank window.

That way we can tell

who's bringing the money back and forth.

Uh-oh.

What's the matter, Bret?

Plenty.

They're gonna stay in there until just before

the bank opens in the morning.

Oh, my. That means we can't put the money back.

What can we do?

Well, I got an idea.

If they're gonna stay in there

we could sneak around the front of the bank

and go through the office and slam the vault door

shut on 'em.

Yes, but, Bret, the money.

Even if we do lock those characters up

we can't put the money back with them in there.

Well, in a day or so, we'll find the money somewhere else.

That'll be a good reward.

But Murphy will claim the vault was empty.

Oh, now, Foursquare, who's gonna believe them?

Come on.

Ah... ah.

There's somebody in here.

Whoever you are, drop your gun and come out.

Ah..

We just came in to see about a house mortgage.

Well, well, my poker playing friend. Huh?

So you came in here to rob the bank.

Us? Rob a bank?

You are the one who's robbing the bank.

That isn't the way it looked to me and my pals, eh, boys?

Yeah, right, boss.

They're a mean looking pair, ain't they?

'What are you gonna do, boss?'

I'm gonna lock them in the vault. That's what I'm gonna do.

After all, they're bank robbers.

We should get a nice reward for their capture.

'What about the money?'

I'll claim they emptied the vault and came back

for a final check.

Boss, they'll claim that they found us in here

and the vault was already empty.

Latimer, really? Who'd believe them?

Okay, you two into the vault.

We're likely to smother Yes.

Well, we'll have to take that chance, won't we?

Come on.

I'm gonna stick right here.

Guard the vault until Dutton shows up.

You two boys better take off.

Might look odd if the marshal finds three of us here.

On your way.

Go on.

Hold it.

I got an idea.

Not another one. I don't think I can stand it.

Well, my last idea would have been alright

if you hadn't been sensitive to roses.

The first thing we gotta do is put all this money

back in the vault.

Oh, no.

But Big Ed's sitting right outside the vault.

Well, you heard him say himself that he was gonna keep

the vault door locked until the bank opened

and Colonel Dutton showed up.

He can't very well steal the money then, right?

And we can't very well let Colonel Dutton find the vault

empty, now can we?

You said yourself, there'd be a big investigation

your door will be discovered, and you with it.

I, I guess so.

So, first things first.

Well, the other two aren't in there.

I can't see why you can't let him alone.

The money is back in the vault.

Big Ed Murphy will only look like a fool when he claims

he's guarding an empty vault with two robbers in it.

Yeah, they'll turn him loose as a harmless crank.

What do you think he'll do then, Foursquare?

- Leave town? - He'll do that alright.

But not before he's collected his $2000

and looked us up.

Somehow, I don't think that meeting will be very friendly.

Well, just because we vested them

do you really think they'd want to hurt us?

"Hurt" is probably the weakest word you could use.

"They'd tear us limb from limb," would be more like it.

Why don't we just leave Denver now?

I haven't overlooked that possibility, believe me.

There's a certain fellow I wanna look up.

One Terrence Tamblyn.

I wanna talk with him about a horse trade.

Come on, let's look over there.

We've hit pay dirt, Foursquare. They're both in there.

I still can't see why you can't be satisfied

with things the way they are.

They're comin' out. You remember what I told you to do?

Yes. But I don't like it.

Come on.

Uh-oh, what's that?

'Blimey, it's him! the bloke what we locked up in the vault.'

It can't be. It's his ghost.

Watch him, Foursquare!

You think you can keep him under control

for a few more minutes, Foursquare?

I'll be right back to get him.

We're lucky your house is close by.

It's alright, Latimer's still out.

We wouldn't want him to spend the night alone, would we?

It'd be very inhospitable.

Clear, close the door.

They're both coming too

and I don't have the heart to get him again.

You know, I don't think I ever hit a man before in my life.

Well, it's a hard thing to do.

I rather enjoyed it.

You might as well pipe down.

You two are worth a good reward.

That door won't be open until the marshal is here

to put the cuffs on you.

♪ It happened on a summers day ♪♪♪

How did you get in here?

What on Earth are you doing here?

Waiting for Colonel Dutton.

If you touch that vault, I'll break your arm.

You have no right being here. I'm going to get the marshal.

You just do that, sonny, and the quicker the better.

Oh, colonel, sir

That man, the one who was here yesterday, he's back.

He was in the bank when I got here, the door was unlocked.

I was leaving to get the marshal.

That's a good lad.

Tell him we have a mad man in here.

In the meantime, I better humor him, he..

He might be dangerous.

Well, Colonel Dutton, you're here.

I've been waiting quite a while.

Since about midnight, to be exact.

Of course, of course.

You wanted to play your little game again, didn't you?

So you still think I'm cracked. You'll be barking the other side

of the tree when you find out what's locked in your vault.

Yesterday you thought it was empty.

Now it has something in it?

Fine. A surprise, I'll bet.

Uh, let me guess..

- Lollipops, sugarplums... - Listen, you.

I'm no more crazy than you are.

I was walking by your excuse for a bank about midnight.

I looked in and saw a couple of safecrackers.

Safecrackers?

They had opened the door to your vault, so I sneaked in.

And the vault was absolutely empty.

Empty, huh?

Hurry up and see what's detaining the marshal.

So, now, now you claim it's empty, eh?

Well, whatever you say, my friend...

Of course it's empty! I-I mean, no. No, it is isn't.

What I mean is, I slammed the door shut

on these two safecrackers and they're in there.

Both of them and I expect a fat reward for nabbing them.

After all, I caught 'em red-handed, didn't I?

- Right in the act! - Of course, of course.

You caught two men robbing an empty vault.

So now you have them locked up in there, huh?

They weren't robbing an empty vault, you nincompoop.

They had already taken the money and they probably came back

for a final check when I caught them.

Can I drive some simple facts

through that thick skull of yours?

Well, well, what's this all about?

Nothing really, marshal.

This gentleman seems to be a little mixed up.

He came here yesterday, said my bank vault was empty

I opened it, showed him it had money and had him thrown out.

- Now, see here... - Alright, quiet you!

Go on, colonel.

Last night he must have picked the lock and come in.

He was sitting here waiting for me, when my

my teller opened up this morning.

Now, marshal, let me explain.

He's got it all wrong. I deserve a reward.

Oh, yes, he claims that he saw two men.

Safecrackers at work and so he came in

and he slammed the vault door shut.

He says that they're locked in there now.

'Of course, like he said yesterday'

'he still contempts that the bank vault has no money.'

Well, it does look like

we've got a live one on our hands, doesn't it?

Now, listen, you, we've got enough problems here without

listening to your hallucinations.

Look, marshal, that vault is empty

and there are two men in there.

There's a smooth talking gambler and his sidekick.

- Marshal, you don't suppose.. - Maybe he's telling the truth?

Of course, I'm telling the truth. Open the vault

and see it for yourselves.

All the money seems to be here.

Alright, so there were two men in the vault

but the vault certainly isn't empty.

Now, how do you explain..

I'm gonna take this poor fellow over at Doc Simmons' office.

Come along now. Alright, men.

You'll be alright. That's it.

Well, we got you off the hook, Foursquare.

All credit to you, Bret.

I did feel sorry for Big Ed Murphy

he took it very hard.

Oh, he'll be alright after a few days and a few sedatives.

Do you think those other two will talk?

I mean, about us being, being in the empty vault

and getting out with Big Ed guarding the door.

Knocking them out and they wake up in the vault instead

and all the money's been put back.

- Confusing, isn't it? - Oh.

Would you believe him?

However, they can't hold those two very long.

After all, they didn't steal any money.

Big Ed, after he's rested up a few days..

He's really gonna come gunnin' for us.

Well, what are we going to do?

Leave town.

Your pappy said that he who fights and runs away

will live to fight another day.

Well, there's a small error there, Foursquare.

What Pappy said was

"He who fights and runs away, lives to run away another day."

'Psst, psst!'

Psst, Maverick, come here.

'Tamblyn.'

What's all that about, Bret?

I thought for a minute, you were going to hit him.

Well, I came close.

A few nights ago, he talked me into trading horses.

And his animal turned out to be sick.

No, it turned out to be the sheriff's animal.

'Course I found out before I got caught.

It cost me another $20.20 to buy another old nag

to get me into Denver.

Well, you made him give back the $20.20, didn't you?

Yup.

And I also found out where my horse was

and I collected $2000.

$2000.

What for?

Well, Foursquare, I sort of rented your house to him.

'But only for two months.'

Bret, you didn't tell him about the secret door

into the bank vault, did you?

Now, I don't want to criticize your friend but

that Tamblyn man didn't look trustworthy to me.

Well, you're wrong about him being a friend of mine.

You're right about him being untrustworthy

and no, I didn't tell him about your secret door.

But I will tell him in a year or so.

After you moved back into your house

and bricked up the door.

Then I'll tell him.

I wanna see the look on his face when I tell him

that for two months he lived in a house

that had an unlocked door

to the vault of the Denver State Bank.
