The following program
is brought to you in living color on NBC.
Hey.
It's awful late, Pa.
Don't look like nobody's up.
Oh, somebody better be.
I feel like I've been glued to that saddle.
Evening.
What do you want?
We'd like to bed down our horses.
You fellows know what time it is?
Friend, we sure do.
We've been riding since... since sunup.
I'm sorry, I'm not taking care
of no stinking horses this time of night.
Wait a minute now.
We'll take care of the horses.
You just provide the four stalls.
All right.
I can light some lamps for you.
Oh, I hope we don't have that much trouble
getting rooms for ourselves.
- Joe? - Yeah.
You help Hoss with the horses, and Adam and I'll go and see
if we can get some rooms at the hotel.
Right, Pa.
Hey, Pa, it was a terrible long ride today.
How's about a little drink before we turn in?
Yeah, especially after three weeks cattle drive.
You buying, Pa?
No, I guess I am since I'm carrying all the money.
Hey, what would $30,000 worth of beer look like, anyhow?
Well, that all depends. You mean in one big glass,
or lots of little ones?
One great big 'un.
Look, the only thing
you boys are gonna be drinking is water out of a pump.
Hey, come on, let's go to the hotel.
Oh, which way is the hotel?
Uh, halfway down the street if you can rouse anybody.
Thank you very much.
Take care of the horses, Joe.
Right.
Now, you take it easy, Billy.
We sent for the doctor and sheriff.
There-there were three of them.
They all wore masks.
They fired a shot at Henry there.
Yes, uh... He's dead.
All right, Billy, we've organized a posse,
so, tell me what you can remember about them.
Like I said, they all wore masks and dusters.
One was a big fellow,
the other sort of medium, and...
and-and the third one looked like a kid.
That's all? That's all you remember?
No, it ain't.
They stuck some money in the saddlebags.
Saddlebags... what kind?
They had a mark on them.
Looked like a pine tree.
Sheriff? Sheriff, I know who those men are.
What do you mean, Artie?
Late last night, four men come into my livery stable,
and I noticed that one of them had some saddlebags
with a pine tree on it.
Well, where'd they go and how long ago?
They didn't go no place.
Leastways, their horses were still there
when I come running over here.
Tell you what. Let's, uh... let's have some breakfast first,
then we'll come back and finish up.
Ain't nothing like breakfast
to show a change in a man, is there, Joe?
Yeah, about ten pounds, I think.
They're the ones, Sheriff.
Good morning, gentlemen.
You going somewhere?
Morning.
No, we're just... just going out to breakfast.
You men are new in town.
What's your names?
Well, the name is Cartwright.
These are my sons.
Those your saddlebags?
They certainly are. Why?
Well, they might be important.
Well they're very important to us.
Why should they interest you?
They interest me just enough
to arrest you four for robbery and murder.
Now, that's not a very good joke.
There's nothing funny
about shooting an old man down in cold blood.
Now wait a minute.
Now, we-we... we just got into town late last night.
We've been at the hotel sleeping.
We just came out.
Good.
You can tell the whole story at your trial.
- Now, wait a minute, Sheriff... - Shut up, son.
Take off that belt.
The rest of you do the same.
Now, look, you-you must be mistaken, Sheriff.
We'll find that out soon enough.
Stan, get their guns.
Take those saddlebags and bring 'em along to the office.
Now, there's a lot of money in those saddlebags.
Yeah. We know.
All right, let's go.
What are you going to do, Sheriff,
let 'em get away with it?
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Yeah.
These men are murderers.
They just murdered an old friend of yours.
Henry Paine has lived in this town for 20 years!
He was a wonderful man.
All right now, you all know what a nice old man Henry Paine was.
- One of the best. - Well, what are you gonna do about it?
I say jail is too good a place for these murderers.
Now you listen to me.
There'll be no lynching,
not in this town, as long as I represent law and order.
These men are gonna get a fair trial.
If they're proven guilty, they'll be punished.
I say forget the trial. Let's hang 'em now!
You. How about you?
And how about you, Artie?
How would you like the responsibility
if later, these men are proven innocent?
All right.
There'll be a trial over at the saloon tomorrow.
I'll talk to the judge and have him get a jury.
If any of you try to break into my jail,
I'll arrest you and throw you
right into a cell along with these men.
Get on about your business.
Come on inside. You'll be safer in there.
Now, look, Sheriff, I think we're entitled
to some kind of an explanation...
Inside, inside, and I'll explain all you want.
- Hey, Sheriff? - Yeah?
Will you come here a minute?
I'll be right back.
Now, what...?
I want you to look at something.
Look at all this beautiful money.
Now what did I tell you?
Just like I heard 'em say... $30,000.
He sure was right, wasn't he, Sheriff?
Yeah. Well, take care of it.
I'm going to finish questioning the prisoners.
We'll do that, Sheriff.
We sure will do that.
$30,000, Sheriff.
That's an awful lot of money, ain't it?
Yeah.
It sure is.
Cartwright, where'd you get all that money
we found in your saddlebags?
Well, I... I've been telling you, Sheriff.
We-we drove our cattle to market,
and we were on our way back to Virginia City
to deposit the money there.
You got a bill of sale for the cattle?
Well certainly, I've got a bill of sale.
Here.
Well, it looks legal enough to me.
Now, Sheriff... would it make any sense
that anybody with that kind of money would have to rob a bank?
No.
No, I got to admit it doesn't seem likely.
But I'm going to have to check the serial numbers
of these bills against those stolen from the bank.
Good. That'll prove exactly what I've been telling you.
Frankly, Sheriff,
I was beginning to worry a little about...
If you're innocent, you got nothing to worry about.
Tomorrow we're going to give you a fair fast trial.
If you're proven innocent, you'll all be on your way.
Well, if you're gonna check the serial numbers,
why have the trial?
For your own protection.
The town's pretty riled up about the death of old Henry Paine.
Without a trial to prove your innocence,
you still might not get out of this town alive.
You got a real nice town here, Sheriff.
Same as any other town, son.
Well, the sheriff's right, Joe.
Anyway, we don't seem to have any choice about matters.
Don't worry.
By this time tomorrow,
you'll all be on your way, probably.
You know, without that bill of sale,
we would have been pretty hard pressed
to prove we didn't take that money.
Yeah, that's going to be the key to open up the door for us.
Well, I think we're gonna be all right.
That sheriff's no weakling.
Did you see the way they handled that mob out on the street?
Mm-hmm.
Come on, let's get ourselves
as comfortable as we can be in here.
Yeah. Wake me when breakfast... Oh!
Dad-gummit!
All right, clear the way, clear the way.
Find yourself a seat somewhere.
On your feet. Take off your hats.
Court of Alkali is now in session.
Judge Jackson presiding.
Sit down.
Jury is ready, Sheriff.
Produce your first witness.
Billy Tyler to the stand.
No, sit down, sit down, son.
Over here.
You swear to tell the truth, so help you God?
I do.
Tell the court what happened in the bank.
There's not much to tell, Judge.
These three men came in with masks on and guns out
and forced us to open the safe.
Then they tied and gagged us.
Then they went over to the safe
and started taking the money out and putting it in a saddlebag.
Can you describe the bag, Billy?
Yeah, it was just kind of an ordinary leather saddlebag.
Except that it kind of had a pine tree brand
burned into the side of it.
Pine tree brand?
What do you mean by that?
Well, it was just kind of a pine tree brand.
Bag like that, Billy?
Yeah, that's it.
And that's the pine tree.
Order!
Order, please!
I see.
Well, go ahead, Billy; what happened then?
Well, then they moved toward the door.
Then one of the men turned around
and he shot Henry Paine dead.
All right, hold it!
Hold it! Order, order!
Billy... can you describe these robbers?
Only that they were different in heights.
One was a...
great big fella.
You see the prisoners here.
Do they fit your description of the bank robbers?
Yeah.
Only, uh, only three of them in the bank though.
Though maybe the gray-haired fella
might have been keeping lookout on the outside.
Well, we didn't ask you that, Billy.
You just stick to the things you saw.
That-that's all I saw after they killed Henry.
Then they just ran out, and the next thing I knew,
some people were busting in and untying me.
All right, thank you, Billy.
You may step down.
All right, quiet, quiet, order!
Quiet, or I'll throw you all out.
You have merely established that the height of the robbers
might match the height of the prisoners,
and that the prisoners had a saddlebag
marked with a particular brand, the same that the robbers used.
But that is not positive nor sufficient proof.
Sheriff, have you got another witness?
Yes. I'd like to call one of the prisoners as a witness.
Mr. Cartwright, will you step forward?
Do you swear to tell the truth, so help you God?
I do.
I first met Mr. Cartwright
in the livery stable shortly after the robbery.
How long had you been in town, Mr. Cartwright?
Well, uh, we-we got into town late the night before last.
We stayed in the hotel all that night,
and we met the sheriff at the stable yesterday morning.
And you told me you hadn't even heard of the robbery?
That is correct.
When I arrested you, did you have that bag with you?
Yes, of course.
My son Adam was, uh, was carrying it.
Contained a fairly large amount of money
which we'd received from the sale of our cattle.
How much money would you say was in that bag, Mr. Cartwright?
Sheriff, I can tell you exactly how much money was in that bag...
$30,000.
How much was that sum that was stolen from the bank, Sheriff?
Exactly $30,000.
Order! Order!
Order!
Order, please!
Of course, this could be a coincidence, Judge.
If Mr. Cartwright had $30,000 of his own,
it would seem silly that he would try
to steal an equal amount,
risk his own life and those of his sons.
However, I have a witness
that I think will clear things up for us.
Thank you, Mr. Cartwright.
That's all, Mr. Cartwright.
Well, Sheriff, I...
That's all, Mr. Cartwright.
Mr. Mason of the Alkali Bank, would you please step forward?
Do you swear to tell the truth, so help you God?
I do.
Mr. Mason, you're the president of the Alkali Bank?
I am.
Did my deputy bring you a saddlebag
full of money yesterday?
He did.
Did I ask you to check the serial numbers
of that money against those stolen from the bank?
You did.
What were your findings?
The numbers compared exactly
with the bills stolen from the bank.
Order, please!
Your Honor.
Now, Mr. Mason, that can't possibly be.
You see, that-that money was ours.
We got it from the sale of our cattle...
I'm sorry, Mr. Cartwright.
I also checked those serial numbers.
There's no doubt that it was the stolen money.
Now, look, Sheriff... Your Honor, I gave this man a bill of sale!
A copy of a bill of sale
that proves that-that it was our money!
No tricks! No tricks, Mr. Cartwright!
What tricks?!
I never saw a bill of sale.
He gave you a bill of sale!
Order!
Order! Order!
Order!
Order, please!
The verdict is already very clear to me,
but we must leave it to the jury to decide.
We already come to a decision!
They're guilty of robbery and murder!
Order! Order!
The defendants have been found guilty,
and I hereby sentence them to be hanged
tomorrow morning at sunup.
Why wait till tomorrow?
Let's do it now!
I'll get him, Sheriff.
Come on, go with me.
Don't worry, Cartwright.
Stan will get your kid.
You've had your fast, fair trial.
Put them back in the cell.

♪♪
He can't get far on foot.
Spread out!
You're the one that was supposed to catch him.
What do you mean, he disappeared?
Well, I'm telling you that's what happened.
When his horse run away, I knowed he had to be
in that clump of trees, but he wasn't.
Me and the posse combed that clean.
Did you look up into the trees?
You know, he just might have climbed up into them.
Well, of course I looked into the trees.
What do you think I am?
I think you're stupid; that's what I think.
All right, all right, that's enough.
Besides... there's nothing he can do.
His family got a fair and square trial by a judge and a jury.
If he comes back to town and tries to make any trouble,
he'll get a rope just like the others.
Yeah, that's right.
There's nothing he can do, is there, Sheriff?
What did I tell you?
Didn't I rightly tell you?
And it worked.
Slicker than greased ice.
Even though you was afraid to take the gamble.
Shut up, Artie.
Things aren't over yet.
Oh, they will be in the morning, Sheriff.
Just a few more hours.
You're a great one for big ideas, aren't you, Artie boy?
The only trouble is that you forget the little details
that foul up those big ideas.
Stan...
this saddlebag that we copied... You forgot all about it.
I told you to get rid of it.
Now, go out and bury it somewhere.
All right, Sheriff, I'll take care of it.
You heard what the sheriff said?
Boy, he sure is a dummy.
He's too dumb to handle all that money, Sheriff.
Maybe he should fall down and die.
Enough of that.
We've done enough harm to this town already.
Hey, I was just talking out loud.
Tell you what.
How about me mixing us a drink?
Celebrate?
Artie, I've told you to stop counting your chickens.
I can't help that, Sheriff.
I can't help that.
This money is gonna get me so far away from that livery stable
and the stink and the smell of them horses.
Here... to us, Sheriff.
To me and my big ideas,
and to you and your, uh, careful details.
Of course, you realize that after their testimony
this morning, the Cartwrights are onto the whole plan.
What difference does that make?
They're gonna hang tomorrow morning!
Now, there's nothing they can say to anybody
that's gonna change that.
Yeah, I know, but I still wish
Stan had caught the youngest one.
Forget about it.
- Come on, have another drink. - Nah.
It's bad luck to celebrate.
Besides, I got to feed the prisoners.
Let me do that.
I'd sure like to do that, Sheriff.
Why would you like to do that?
I just kind of... like looking at men that...
know they're gonna die in a few hours, that's all.
You're a strange one, Artie.
Okay, go ahead.
Mealtime.
Uh, if you'll just step back against that wall there,
I'll give you some grub.
Aren't you the, uh...
aren't you the man who runs the livery stable
where we put up the horses?
Yes, sir.
That's me.
Uh, wait a minute.
What are you, uh, doing around here?
Well, I earn a few extra dollars
working for the sheriff every now and then.
Oh, yeah?
Say, uh...
how'd you like to earn a lot of extra dollars?
What do you mean, sir?
I don't want the sheriff out there to know, but, uh...
I got to send a telegram.
Oh...
well, I-I don't, uh, I don't know, Mr. Cartwright.
Now, that'd be aiding a prisoner; that ain't right.
Well, it wouldn't be right if we were guilty, but we're innocent.
Now, it's not gonna harm anybody just to send a telegram, is it?
Well, how are you gonna pay me any money
when the sheriff took it all away from you?
Well, here.
You can take it all. I... I got some...
I got about, uh... $50 here.
How does that sound?
Well, um...
why don't you go ahead and write out the telegram,
and, uh, I'll stand here and think about it.
All right.
Ooh.
Whoo! This is a... territorial governor.
Yeah.
Well, this is a mighty important message, ain't it?
Yeah, it is.
Well, I think I'd better send this a special way.
Oh, thank you.
Uh-huh.
Oh, um... I'll, uh...
I'll send this a little bit at a time.
That way, I think they ought to be
getting the whole thing in about six months or so.
Enjoy your meal, gentlemen.

My pa and brothers have been framed for murder.
They're gonna hang there tomorrow morning.
What are you talking about?!
There's no time to explain.
They rigged a phony trial; we were found guilty.
I managed to get away.
Look, Clem, maybe your badge can help.
Well, I'd sure like to help, Joe,
but, shucks, this is just a deputy's badge.
It hardly gives me authority here in Virginia City.
It's my family, Clem; somebody's got to help.
The territorial governor!
Maybe he could help. I'll send him a wire.
Uh, Joe!
You can't reach him that way.
What do you mean I can't reach him?
Well, the lines are down; they're checking them now.
How long you think it'll take?
Can't tell... It could be an hour,

Sure.
He's a pretty smart kid.
I sure ribbed him a lot.
I hope he knows I didn't mean it.
I'm sure he does, son.
Good evening, gentlemen.
How's everything?
What about my son, Joseph?
We didn't catch him, but that doesn't make any difference.
There's nothing he can do.
Oh, yes, there is.
Even if we die, he'll be back.
May take him a week, a month, but he'll be back.
He'll get the whole pack of you.
He's not gonna get nobody.
By tomorrow, there'll be wanted posters
with his name on 'em plastered all over this country.
You know, he's right.
Your boy's lucky if he lives out the week.
Does it make you feel better being a rich murderer?
I'm just doing my duty as sheriff.
Tomorrow I hang some bank robbers.
Then the town'll know I'm still doing my duty.
How you gonna explain your sudden wealth?
I don't have to explain anything.
The bank got its money back, and the town didn't lose a thing.
Now, just stop worrying about me.
You've only got a few hours left.
Don't waste 'em.

rounds of drinks to let him do it.

Mm? What?

Besides all that money, it's gonna be fun watching them hang.
We're gonna need some help.
I'll have to go out and deputize a few more men.
Just stay out of there, Artie.
You stay out of there till I get back.
♪♪
All right, let's get on with it.
Put their ropes on.
All right, hold it.
You're not gonna hang anybody, Sheriff,
unless you want to see your deputy hang, too.
That won't do you any good, Cartwright.
You've already killed one man.
You want another man's life on your conscience?
Well, speaking of conscience, I think your deputy
has a few things to tell the people of Alkali.
The three of you got a fair trial.
There's nothing you can do.
You're one man against a whole town.
Just one man?
I think you better count again, Sheriff.
For an ugly bunch, ain't they pretty?
Yeah.
Now, nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
We're gonna have another fast, fair trial this morning,
just like the one you gave my family.
I'd like to call my first witness,
your deputy, Stan Mace.
All right, Stan, tell them who shot the teller.
Tell them who killed the teller.
Tell them, or so help me, I'll hang you right here.
It was Artie.
Say it louder.
It was Artie.
Don't pay any attention to him.
You can't listen to the word of a man
whose life is being threatened.
Shut up, Sheriff.
I'm not through with the trial yet.
I want to show you my first bit of evidence.
Saddle bags with a pine tree brand.
Like the one you have in your office, Sheriff.
Only Stan and I dug this one up behind the blacksmith's shop.
You recognize it, Artie?
You ought to; they belong to you.
No. No!
All right, drop the gun, Sheriff,
and stand right where you are.
Stinking horse.
Looks like my deputy and Artie
had a pretty good plan worked out.
I'm certainly glad we found out the truth in time.
All right, you men are free to go.
And we're sorry about the mistake that we all made.
Not yet, Sheriff.
The trial's not over just yet.
Or don't you remember what you said about that trial?
About the serial numbers on those bills
found in our saddle bags
matching the ones stolen from the bank?
That's right, that's right, I did.
But it's quite obvious that my deputy and Artie here
were the ones that switched the stolen money.
I never dreamed that they were the ones that robbed the bank.
Well look, you...
You know, I've been your sheriff for a long time.
You all know me well enough to...
to know that I couldn't have anything to do
with a thing like this.
Well, it's true, isn't it?
I've worked hard for this town.
Let's take a look in your safe, Sheriff.
What are you talking about?
You heard what he said.
Let's open it and take a look.
Now, what possible reason could there be for doing that?
Simple.
If our money's in that safe, it means you put it there,
and you knew it was there all along.
I have nothing to hide; I have nothing to hide.
Sheriff, if you have nothing to hide,
you won't mind opening your safe.
All right, we'll open the safe.
If that'll make you happy.
The money's in the safe, just as they said it was.
Stan and Artie and I, we stole it.
Then we put the blame on the Cartwrights.
But... But why?
We don't understand.
You've been a good sheriff for us
for a long time.
Why, if you needed money,
you could have come to any number of us.
That's just it, Harry, I didn't need it.
Stan and Artie,
they had their reasons for wanting the money.
Me...
I wouldn't have known what to... what to do with it.
Well, little brother,
I don't know when I was gladder to see you.
Yeah, what took you so long?
Ugly-looking things, ain't they?
Depends on where you're standing.
Well, they don't look so bad from down here.
Oh, I don't know about you fellas,
but I don't want to hang around here.
