Hey, you, that's my silver saddle.

No charge for looking, eh, Jet?

That's right, Dude.

Where's your crew?

They should have been marching into town for the past week.

We'll hit all the saloons and round them up.

How long you've been here?

I just rode in.

Can someone get my luggage, please?

Yes, ma'am. I'll get it myself. Thank you.

Well, there's a skull in there.

Wonder where a man can find some excitement.

You'll get your belly full of excitement.

I want all your men at Sam Allen's stable come sun-up tomorrow.

And I want you all sober. All right.

Let's hit all the saloons and dig 'em out.

No, I got some personal business to do.

Yeah? Well, so have I.

Starts with some whisky.

If you're old enough, you'll know what goes on from there.

Easy.

Don't stampede the livestock.

Got him in one throw.

Let's get him back in his cage.

Thank you. I thought I'd lost him for good.

Colton's a pretty rough town for a lone canary to be loosing.

- Someone meeting you? - Yes, thanks.

- Ms. Austin? - Yes.

Get her gear, Kid.

I'm expecting Major Cosgrave.

I'm Cal Prince. The foreman out of the Circle C Ranch.

The Major's gonna be detained in Denver until late tonight

and he asked me to see that you're settled at the hotel.

Is this cowboy with you?

No, but he's been very helpful.

Thank you very much.

Here's for helping the lady.

Buy yourself a cigar.

You keep it.

Until you're old enough to smoke.

What are you doing, looking for a fight?

Take it easy, Kid.

You know the Major doesn't want any gunplay around Ms. Austin.

Get up.

Get in the rig.

Maybe you'd like to try it again sometime.

When you haven't got an audience.

Any time you say.

Only the second show might be a lot more funnier.

Be a shame if nobody sees it.

Go on.

They sure washed off that hunk of rock since I was in town last.

Watch this.

Ain't missed it but twice in the seven years that thing's been here.

It's easy to spit on a dead man.

Hold on now, stranger.

I'll admit I'd a whole lot rather

spit on the Colonel's brother Major Linton Cosgrave.

He's the fellow who had that thing put there.

What you got against the Major?

When the old man was alive,

us Polsens run cows in the Newmark Valley.

Along with the Circle C outfit.

We both leased grass of off of Hal Newmark.

He's the fellow that owned it.

Then the old man died and left everything to his brother.

Well, the Major hired him a crew of gun hands

and run all the Polsen cows out of The Valley.

Nobody yet knows what happened to Hal Newmark.

He just disappeared.

You ask what I got against the Major.

Sound like the Polsens did all right when the colonel had the Circle C.

Yeah. Reckon we did.

You've been spitting on the wrong man, Boone Polsen.

You know my name.

Do I know you?

You'll get to know me.

Just one moment, sir.

A hot brand and a cold one.

Without even a blur.

You got a good aim with that right.

Well, I used to aim for the jaw.

I was a bare knuckle prize-fighter once.

Knocked out Dougie Davis.

I know, in the 26th round.

Wish I'd been old enough to be there, Sam.

Jet!

It's good to see you, boy.

Man, I ought to say.

It's good to see you, Sam.

These my saddles?

With rifles and scabbards.

Just like you said in the letter.

Out in the corral, I got the horses for you.

Good top mounts.

Just like you said.

What say, Jet?

How come you want nine horses, but just eight saddles?

One of my hired hand's bought his own.

Fancy silver outfit.

Best friend left it to him. Oh.

How much do I owe you?

Nothing.

Fact is, you sent me $55 too much.

Hang on to it.

Look at them horses first, make sure you're satisfied.

I'll be satisfied if you are.

So you didn't tell anybody you wanted the horses in saddles, did you?

Not a soul.

They'll find out soon enough.

Horses?

Saddles?

Your hired hands?

You figure on running a ranch around here, Jet?

Well, either run a ranch or run it clean out of business.

The Major?

That's right, the Major.

Say, most of these brands you're making seem to be Circle C's.

Well, Circle C's got most of the cattle.

The Major don't have much competitions these days.

He has now.

I want you to make up some irons for me, Sam.

Sure thing. What brand?

The Target brand.

Like that.

That brand'll make trouble, son.

I plan to make a lot of trouble for the Major.

I'm taking over the Newmark Valley with that brand.

Too bad old Hal Newmark can't be around to see how it works.

Been seven years now since anybody heard anything from Mr. Newmark.

That doesn't make any sense, Sam.

A man doesn't just disappear.

Up and leave a valuable ranch like the Newmark Valley.

Some folk's thinks maybe the Major killed him.

'Cause he wouldn't sell out.

What else is there to think?

I'll see you at sun up, Sam.

Sam, can you have a half a dozen of those Target brands ready for me?

Sure thing.

I got a hungry horse out there. I'll take care of it.

And Jet...

Son...

I've known you since you was a little boy.

And your papa before you.

I want you to know if there's gonna be a fight,

I'll help any way I can.

Thanks, Sam. This one's my fight.

Remember me?

I remember a boy...

He was only 15 years old at the time.

He stood over his father's grave

and he swore he'd come back here someday and kill a man.

His own uncle.

You not only remember,

you know why I'm here.

I want the Circle C.

Eight years now.

I thought the boy had changed.

Don't make a mistake that's sure to put you on the gallows, Jet.

Er, come on. Just sit down a minute.

Talk this over.

I'll sit down if you have something new to tell me about my rights to the ranch.

You know your rights, Jet.

Your uncle must pay you 10% of the Circle C's net income.

I won't settle for less than 100.

But I'll take 10% on account.

Where is it?

At the Colton Bank.

We tried to trace you down.

When we couldn't locate you, I advised the Major to deposit 10% to your name.

Everything is in order, Jet.

The Major following your father's will to the letter.

Except it isn't my father's will.

I don't understand that.

My father told me when I was 21, I'd get the ranch.

If the will says anything other than that, it's forged.

That's a serious accusation.

Can you prove that?

No.

Then I'm afraid there's no legal way

for you to get the Circle C.

I thought you'd say that.

A lawyer's opinion. But I'm no lawyer.

If I can't find a legal way,

I'll find an illegal way.

Like the Major did.

I'd like to get a room. Mrs. Banner around?

In the parlor.

She's trying to make a lady of quality out of a Polsen.

I'm sorry, Judy. That's all right.

Ms. Austin's probably heard enough of this anyway.

Oh, not at all. You're playing beautifully.

Thank you.

Sorry to keep you waiting, stranger.

I'm no stranger, Mrs. Banner.

Why, Jet!

My, my, my.

- I'd like a room, in a hurry, please. - Sure, Jet.

You've been away a long time.

- Mrs. Banner. - Yes.

Do you have an upstairs room over the alley

where I won't make a target?

Hmm. Sounds like somebody was trying to kill you.

There will be.

Who?

My uncle.

Now, Jet, don't oppose him.

The Major not only runs the Circle C,

he just about runs this town as well.

Including the sheriff?

We've had six sheriffs in the past two years.

The last one turned in his badge over a week ago.

We can't find anybody that wants to take his place.

Well, the citizen's committee is trying to raise a fund

to import a professional lawman.

I bet that's a fund the Major won't contribute a dime to.

Thank you.

Morning.

We met at the stage depot.

Then you know him.

No. Not by name.

Oh.

It's a small world, Ms. Austin.

Hello. We haven't been properly introduced.

I'm Alice Austin.

- I'm Jet Cosgrave. - I know.

I just stole a most improper glance at the hotel register.

- Come in. - Thank you.

Afraid of me?

Ah. Sorry.

I hope you don't mind if I sit down.

Oh, it's quite proper seeing as we're about to be related.

I just love the look on your face.

You haven't the slightest idea of why I'm here.

As a matter of fact, right now, you're wondering

if you shouldn't tell this woman to get out of your room.

That thought never occurred to me.

I won't tease you any further, Jet. I'm out here from Virginia

to marry your uncle.

So obvious he hasn't told you about me.

My uncle and I haven't seen each other in eight years.

He said you didn't get along,

but I'd hoped you'd settle your differences.

In fact, I hope you're here to be best man at our wedding.

I am out here to be best man.

But not at a wedding.

I came out here to fight the Major.

He didn't tell me that.

He tell you he swindled me out of the Circle C?

He warned me about you, Jet.

He said you were always wild and reckless.

That's why your father left the ranch to his brother instead of to his son.

Of course you believe the Major.

Why should I believe you?

I refuse to listen this kind of talk about the man I'm going to marry.

Goodbye, Mr. Cosgrave.

Take my advice.

Go back to Virginia. Find yourself another man.

Do you think a woman only has to turn her head and she's found another man?

Woman like you doesn't have to turn her head.

Thanks for proving how right the Major was in everything he said about you.

That shot should prove how right I was about the Major.

Drop it, Cosgrave.

No chance to get you with the shade pulled down,

so I figured a shot might draw you out.

Aren't you kind of big to be playing games with kids?

You dropped your gun, Cosgrave. Now pick it up.

With your guns pointing at me?

We ain't pointing any guns at him, are we, Bert?

No. Just the other way around.

We just happened to walk in to this alley

and Cosgrave pulled a gun on us.

We had to kill him in self defense.

The Major even told you how to do it.

The Major didn't even tell us a thing.

This is my idea.

Your idea didn't work.

Look behind you.

You think we're gonna fall for that one?

You'd better fall for it.

You let this kid keep playing with firearms, he's gonna get himself hurt.

Now get out of here, both of you. Go on. Get outta here.

You sure happened along at the right time.

I didn't just happen along.

Heard a shot in the alley and I thought some of the Circle C men

were trying to bushwhack my brother.

Say, what's the fight about?

If you don't know, what made you take my side?

I'd take anybody's side

if he had Circle C riders against him.

I'm a Polsen.

Why, sure.

You're Judy Polsen.

That's right.

Say, you look kind of familiar, too.

I'm Jet Cosgrave.

If my pa knew I'd saved a Cosgrave,

he'd take a whip to me.

Now, wait a minute.

Not when he finds out I'm on his side.

A Cosgrave.

You still got those freckles on your back?

How do you know...

What are you talking about?

I'll tell you someday.

Here's the champagne, Ms. Austin.

Le Blanc. Vintage '46.

Glasses for two.

Just like the gentleman ordered.

What gentleman?

The one you plan to marry.

Lint!

You look even more beautiful than I remembered.

I wanted to be here when you arrived,

but business in Denver... Ah. Don't worry about it.

You're here now.

Uh, Major.

Yes. I, uh...

I think I ought to tell you that your nephew's staying here.

Here in the hotel?

I don't understand him at all, Lint.

Today, somebody tried to shoot him and he blamed you for it.

I didn't even know he was in town.

I told you he's a troublemaker, Alice.

Oh. I hope there won't be any trouble in the hotel.

I'll see to it that there isn't.

Certainly not during Ms. Austin's stay here.

How would you like to drive out in the morning

and take a look at your future home?

Oh, I'd love it, Lint.

Anything else, Mrs. Banner?

Uh, no. Nothing.

And congratulations.

She's a lovely girl.

Hold. Hold.

Uncle.

Heard you were in town, Jet.

Glad to see you. Welcome home.

You're not glad to see me.

Right now, this isn't my home.

Let's forget our differences, Jet.

Do you want me to send him on his way?

No.

Take Ms. Austin on and leave your horse with me.

Bye, Aunt Alice.

I hope you like my ranch.

I'll be right along. Get going, Cal.

Yah!

Bought me a new gun, Cosgrave.

Real pretty, too.

Don't let some nasty little boy take it away from you.

That's enough of that, Kid. On your way.

Yes, sir.

Understand you had trouble with some of my riders.

They play pretty rough.

I hired some men myself.

They play even rougher.

Why do you need them? You have no ranch.

I will have.

I'll have this one.

Starting when?

I've already started.

I'm gonna be your neighbor.

I'm moving into the Newmark Valley with my own brand.

The Target.

You won't stay there very long, Jet.

You have no rights to Newmark.

Neither do you.

On the contrary,

Hal Newmark's left Colorado.

I'm taking care of The Valley for him till he returns.

He won't return unless it's from the dead, and you know it.

It that case, I'll be holding in Newmark quite a while.

My lawyer refers to it as

squatters' rights.

Tell your lawyer that Newmark has a new squatter

and enough guns to keep trespassers out.

And that means you, Major.

All right, Jet.

If it's a fight you want, you picked yourself a pretty big opponent.

The bigger the tree, the louder the crash.

Oh, Lint, it's just beautiful.

Just beautiful.

Sure glad you like it.

I hope that scene with Jet didn't upset you.

Of course not.

I'm afraid he hasn't changed much.

Still wild and reckless.

- A black sheep. - Perhaps he's just young.

Lady Virginia sure changed the Major.

Wait till after the wedding.

You'll get the same old even disposition back.

Always mad.

Let's go.

Come on!

Tell the Major's men they've got one hour to get out of The Valley.

I'll be back by then.

Hello.

Thought for a minute you might be Polsens.

But you're new hands?

Yeah. Brand-new.

I'm Toby MacDonald.

Best darn cook the Circle C ever had.

Wipe down.

Anybody else around?

Nah. They're all out working.

That's your horse?

Aye. But why do you ask?

Get on it and get out.

Cal Prince did not say anything about me getting out.

Who's Cal Prince?

Saddle boss for Major Cosgrave, of course.

I'm saddle boss for Jet Cosgrave.

You've got exactly one minute to ride out of gun range.

Jet Cosgrave?

Jet... That name doesn't mean anything to me.

And the Major don't mean nothing to us.

You want to ride that horse straight up or belly down?

Aye.

Mind if I get my gear?

Go ahead.

Get down, boys.

Make yourself at home.

You didn't have to shoot him in the back.

Shoot him in the back?

What are you talking about?

The fellow went for a gun.

I've got eight witnesses to prove it.

Or maybe I've only got seven.

How about it, Curly?

Oh, no, Dude.

You have eight.

Jet Cosgrave hired us to stir up a war with his uncle.

The sooner we start up, the sooner we get paid.

Get his horse.

We'll tie this cow poke belly down across the saddle.

Heat the iron, Curly.

We'll send him back to the Major wearing the Target brand.

Stay right here, sweetheart. I'll be back.

It's Toby.

I left him alone at the line shack.

Take him into the bunkhouse, boys.

Look there, Major.

Did you ever see that Target brand before?

Only today.

This is Jet Cosgrave's signature.

Go get him, Prince.

Drop everything else, but bring him back here.

Belly down, like Toby?

I don't want Jet killed till after my marriage to Ms. Austin.

I told you once before, it might scare her off.

I'll see her back to town.

Come on.

You missed me.

That's just a warning.

Next Polsen you meet is likely to shoot a lot closer.

Do me a favor, Judy,

ride ahead and tell Chad I'm on the way in to see him.

I'm busy. Do it yourself. You will.

What makes you so sure?

Because you want to find out how come I know you got freckles on your back.

Pipe down, Cosgrave.

Ain't got nothing to worry about, Chad.

I ain't been much worried.

How you goin'?

Rest your guns, boys.

Say what you've got on your mind to say and then get.

All right, short and to the point.

The Circle C's rightfully mine.

I'm either going to take it from the Major or get killed trying.

Well, I ought to be glad.

At last, two Cosgraves are at each other's throats.

But I don't know as I am.

I've had plenty of time to learn to hate

and mostly what I hate is a Cosgrave.

You had no reason to hate my father.

The Major's the one giving you all the trouble.

And what have you got to offer us poor Polsens?

The same agreement you had with my father.

You can move your cattle back to the Newmark any time you want.

The Major raises fancy-blooded stock,

he don't want 'em mixing with no Polsen hill cattle.

That's the reason we got throwed out of the valley in the first place.

He won't throw you out anymore. I'm throwing him out.

You mean you bought the Newmark?

Well, nobody can buy it until Hal Newmark shows up.

I don't think he will.

Then how'd you get the valley?

The same way the Major did. I took it.

I'm going to slap my brand on any cattle I find there

except Polsen cattle.

How about it, want to move back?

Well...

You talk a good fight.

How do I know it's anything more than just talk?

Let your sons ride back to the line camp with me.

How does this set with you boys?

Well...

We can sure use the grass.

All right then, ride with him.

I'm going, too.

There's a little personal matter that's going to take some explaining.

Hey, Judy, it's Jet.

Jude, these are the Polsens.

Well, it's a pleasure.

He give you any trouble?

There was only one Circle C rider on the plains.

I sent him home tied to his saddle with some lead for balance.

I want to talk to you.

Did you have to kill him?

He reached for a rifle.

Reminder one.

Must have been tough.

He ain't tough anymore.

I told you I wanted a fair fight.

You hired us to break the Circle C.

What difference does it make how we do it as long as we win?

Makes a lot of difference to me.

You're gonna tell me how to fight?

As long as I'm paying the dues

you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to tell you how to fight.

Curly, come here.

Yes, boss?

You were here.

Did Rankin give the Circle C rider a chance to get out?

Well, the... Uh...

The man reached for a rifle or...

Anything else?

Get your men knotted, and right back into the hills with the Polsens.

Help them get their cattle down here

and you can start slapping the target brand

on any Circle C you can find in the valley.

I'll stick with Curly. I wouldn't want him to be alone

when the Major finds out you killed one of his men without giving him a chance.

I got eight witnesses to prove I gave that fella a chance.

Eight liars.

Get started, Dude.

Dude and the boys will give you a hand with your cows.

Come on with us, Judy.

Herding cows ain't for girls.

Curly? Yeah, boss?

I'm going down the creek to water the horse.

You get in any trouble here, three shouts will bring me running.

Okay.

Come on. Come on.

Horse thirsty, Judy?

I don't know, ask him.

You thirsty?

Not thirsty.

Must have been curiosity that brought you down here.

Ain't a woman in the world can't wait to find out

how come a man knows she's got freckles on her back.

And how do you know so much about women?

I've been around them.

You've been around, all right.

Around my house, snooping through windows.

No windows on the creek, Judy.

You still go swimming here?

Windows or bushes, either way, it's snooping.

Wasn't snooping at all.

Comanche warrior, scouting for my tribe.

Came to the edge of those woods, there you were in the creek.

First girl I ever saw like that.

You shouldn't be talking about it.

You look beautiful, Judy.

Those freckles on my back?

They're beautiful freckles.

Those days, everything was beautiful.

It's still a beautiful country, Judy.

Yeah, I guess it is.

It's just that I want to see other places,

like Mrs. Banner talks about.

You've been a lot of places, Jet.

Mostly cow country, hot, dry, and flat.

Ain't had much time for the cities.

Too busy saving every dollar I get my hands on to come home with.

You know, you're even prettier than the girl I met in Dodge.

Your folks are big cattle people.

My folks are nothing but hill people.

I suppose you think I'm ashamed of that.

I didn't say that.

They've been good to me.

I'm sure they have.

It's just that I want to be something more than just a hill girl all my life.

Mrs. Banner's teaching me how to be a lady of quality.

Like Alice Austin?

I suppose you think nobody can make a lady out of a Polsen.

I didn't say that either.

No, but you were thinking it.

Want to know what I was really thinking?

What?

I don't suppose I'm the first girl you've kissed,

but I don't care, as long as I'm the last.

I'm going, too.

No, you're not. My plans for you don't include getting you shot.

Some show you put on with that feller.

Boone, it's not what you think.

It ain't what I think, it's what your pa's gonna think.

Boone, wait!

He's in there by himself.

Go on around that way. Maybe he'll give up.

Hey, who are they?

I don't know.

Should we fight it out?

Those weren't my orders.

Hey, Barrett.

Well, you got here just in time.

After it's all over.

What happened?

Your uncle's outfit hit the house while we was out for cattle.

We heard the shooting and run them off.

He didn't like it.

Was your boss along?

I said, was your boss along?

- The Major? - No.

He wants you brought in for Toby's murder.

The fight this fella put up in the house, Prince thought you were in there.

Get a rope. What for?

For him. Forget it.

If I want a man hung, I'll do the hanging.

Now get on your horse and get out of here.

You're gonna let that fella just walk out of here?

Get your hand off me, Dude.

I told you before, as long as I'm paying the bills, I'll give the orders.

And I told you before I don't like nobody giving me advice how to fight.

I don't care if you like advice or not, just as long as you take it.

A man comes gunning for you and you're siding with him

instead of your friend.

Dude, I have no friends.

You and your men are in this for money.

As long as I'm paying you, you'll do things my way.

Well, where's Jet?

We got run off, Major.

Jet Cosgrave's got a bunch of hired gunslingers over there.

We almost lost Bert.

Yeah, that Dude Rankin was gonna hang him.

Who's Dude Rankin?

He's a hired gunslinger.

I rode with him over in the Pacos.

Shot his best friend one time for a silver-mounted saddle and $500.

That's all, then.

Uh, Prince.

You think we might persuade this Rankin to sell-out on Jet?

If I know the guy, sure.

All right.

Offer him a bill of sale for every head of Circle C cattle

he can round up by tomorrow night.

He's got a big crew, might run to 300 or 400 head.

It'll be worth it.

And you tell him for me

if he's not off of my range by sundown tomorrow, the deal's off,

and I'll hang him and every one of these bushwackers personally

I'll sure tell him, Major.

Oh, baby!

Whoa!

Hyah! Hey-ya!

Hyah! Hey-ya!

Hyah, get out!

Get the...

Listen.

Did you hear that?

Si.That's the signalwe used when we was hiding out in the Pacos.

But all our of bunch are either in the house or buried back on the Pacos.

Except Steve. Steve Primus.

Sure glad you remembered that claw.

I don't like old friends to greet me with bullets.Steve.

Hello, boy. Hello, Curly.

You ain't changed a bit.

Only in name.

Out here I'm Cal Prince.

Cal Prince?

That's the man riding for the Circle C.

The fella you chased out of here today, that was me.

How could we know?

We only saw you from a distance.

And I'm sure glad you didn't see me any closer.

A couple of your slugs almost took my ear off.

Look, I feel like a target out here.

Come on.

What are you doing working for the Circle C out here?

The same thing you're doing with Jet Cosgrave,

got my gun hired out.

We hadn't ought to be hired out against each other, Steve.

That's what I'm here for. How close you tied in with young Cosgrave?

We ain't close at all.

The only thing I like about him is his money.

Look, Dude,

my boss has got a lot of good blood and cattle,

and he's ready to make you boys a deal.

You got a drink in there?

Sure, a couple of bottles.

Ain't you gonna listen to the deal, Curly?

Yeah, I listen.

That's enough, Pa.

Shut your mouth, youngin'.

I'm gonna whoop young Cosgrave, too.

But not just now.

Not so long as he helps us fight the Major.

Turn her around, Zeke.

It's you who should be whipped for what you think in your filthy mind.

If you hit me again, I'll shoot!

Let her go.

She's no daughter of mine.

I tried to raise you up to be God-fearing, like your mother was.

But I've failed.

I'll have no wanton in this house.

Now get.

Get.

Come.

Sam?

- Sam? - Yes, madam?

I got a message you wanted to see me. Something about Judy Polsen.

She rode in here a few minutes ago to put up her horse

and fainted dead off the saddle.

I think somebody's done took a whip to her.

Judy, it's Mrs. Banner.

Her shirt's stuck to the flesh in a couple places.

Will you bring me a pair of scissors, Sam?

And... And get some hot water. Yes, ma'am.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear, it's all right.

No one's going to hurt you.

I... I know.

Aw!

Who did this to you?

My pa.

I mean, my father.

But why?

I didn't want to go back there.

Maybe Sam will give me a job.

I... I can rub down horses.

I'm as strong as half the men in town.

Now, Judy, that's no good.

Remember, if you want to be a lady, you can't start in the livery stable.

Why did your father beat you?

My back don't sting anymore.

Judy, why were you beaten?

I don't want to go home.

Mrs. Banner, let me work in the hotel?

Of course, honey, of course.

I don't want to go home.

Judy, why were you beaten?

My father thinks I'm no good.

But why, dear?

Boone saw me kissing Jet Cosgrave.

Oh, Mrs. Banner, you don't think like they do, do you?

Of course not, honey.

Judy, are you in love with him?

Why else would I let him kiss me?

Oh.

I'll be back in a minute.

I'll take that, Sam.

Go find Jet. Tell him I want to talk to him.

Yes, ma'am.

And hurry up, Sam.

Ah, ah, ah! Don't read the postcards, Judy.

But it's all right to look at the pictures.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, Judy.

Evening, Jet.

Mrs. Banner teaching you the hotel business?

Exactly.

Order yourself a drink, Jet. I'll be right with you.

See you later, Judy.

You can take care of these later, honey.

Perhaps you'd better put some fresh linen in Ms. Austin's room.

Yes, ma'am.

What did Sam tell you?

Just that you wanted to see me.

Judy had to run away from home.

Her father took a whip to her.

Why?

You ought to know.

Boone Polsen saw you with his sister this afternoon and told.

Look, all I did was kiss her.

Can you take it so lightly?

How else should I take it?

Judy thinks you're in love with her.

Wait a minute.

I didn't say anything like that to her.

Just what I suspected.

Now look, Jet, Judy's a nice girl,

I'm not going to see any harm come to her.

If you've no idea to marry her, then leave her alone.

Marry her? In return for a couple of kisses?

I see, you don't think she's good enough for you, do you?

You're just like the Major.

You'd rather have some fancy woman from the east for a wife.

That's right.

A lady from Virginia.

Ms. Austin.

I think I owe you an apology.

Will you accept it over a glass of wine?

Why not.

Champagne, please.

Would it be awful if I ordered a beer?

- Two beers. - Yes, sir.

When are you going to call off this senseless feud and make up with your uncle?

I'd rather make up with my aunt.

The Major and I discussed you, Jet.

He'd like to end your differences.

In fact, he's more than willing to meet you halfway.

That's what he told you.

I don't understand you, Jet.

You don't understand the Major.

Keep the change.

Thank you!

I'm beginning to wonder why you asked me in here.

I thought it was for an apology,

but we seem to be right back where we started.

My apology isn't for what I said.

Meaning what?

Meaning my advice to you is still the same.

You've walked into a war.

The Major's just waiting to get your name on a marriage certificate

before he turns his hired killers loose on me.

You're the wildest-talking man I ever met.

I'm talking sense.

And I repeat my advice, go back to Virginia.

And leave the man who loves me?

Or maybe you think the Major doesn't love me.

I'm sure he does.

In fact, I'd be surprised if he didn't.

I wouldn't find it hard to fall in love with you myself.

Is that the reason for your advice?

Maybe.

It's also because I don't like to see you tied to a man I came out here to break.

If you want to be married to the owner of the Circle C, you picked the wrong man.

That's enough, Jet.

All right, Aunt Alice.

But after the wedding, don't throw the flowers away,

you may need them for a funeral.

Good evening. Good evening, Judy.

I just straightened up your room and fed your canary.

Is there anything else?

You know, I'm new here and I don't want to make any mistakes.

I'm sure you won't.

You're a very pretty girl and you must be on your guard.

I refer to certain male guests.

Well, I can take care of myself, Ms. Austin.

I hope so, Judy.

Could you bring me some hot water for a bath?

Yes, ma'am, right away.

Hang on, Cosgrave, because here we go.

This is the first show, Cosgrave.

Now, let's see how you like the second act.

And this time we got an audience.

Ed, Joe, come on.

Get your keys, Mrs. Banner, you got a killer on the loose in your hotel.

See who it is, Judy, please. Sure.

Oh, my, it's Jet! Jet...

Lock the door.

Oh, my...

The Major's men.

Is he dead? No, he's tough as a Polsen.

Here, get me that washcloth.

Thanks. You've got to get him out of here. Jet!

Jet!

How'd he happen to come in your room, anyway?

I don't know.

I thought you were supposed to be the Major's girl.

All right, we'll start with the front ones first.

Now watch yourselves, he's got a gun.

They'll kill him!

Well, what are you doing?

I'll get rid of them, woman-fashion.

Who is it? Uh, nevermind, Ms. Austin.

He wouldn't be in there, that Ms. Austin's...

Look, I didn't ask you for the hotel registry, open it, Mrs. Banner.

If the Major hears this he'll kill you.

You think I like the idea

of the kid getting killed? Open it, Mrs. Banner.

But the Major will...

Look, the first time I saw her she was mightily friendly with Jet Cosgrave.

Oh, dear!

Get out of here!

Get out of here, all of you. Get out!

Get out!

You'd better get a doctor, hadn't you?

There's only one doc in town.

The Major's men will be watching him.

Help me with him, will you?

The Major,

you'd really believe he'd have his own nephew shot?

Of course I believe it.

Ooh! Major stole everything Jet had.

Oh!

I suppose you don't believe it.

Naturally, not.

The Major's the man I'm going to marry.

And Jet's the man I'm gonna marry.

Really?

Did he ask you?

Well, not in so many words.

But what would you think if a man kissed you

and said he had plans for you?

I think it might depend on the man.

He's lucky.

The bullet didn't go in, but look at this cut.

He's lost a lot of blood.

Turn down the covers, will you?

He can't stay here all night.

Don't worry, if he wasn't sick, I wouldn't let him.

Not with your dressed in that peekaboo.

Oh.

Just take it easy, blacksmith.

No gun.

All right, you can put your hands down now.

Just tell us where Jet Cosgrave is and you won't get hurt.

I don't know where he is.

He's a friend of yours, ain't he?

That's why I don't know where he is.

I used to make my living with my fists, gun boy.

Where's Jet Cosgrave?

I ain't seen him since last night.

Wait a minute, Bert.

Just heat that poker up a little bit more.

Ever smell your own flesh burning?

You better talk, blacksmith.

What's going on here, Prince?

We're gonna make him tell us where Jet is.

I don't know, Major.

Man just don't go up in smoke.

We've combed the whole town, searched every room in the hotel.

Hotel?

Did you disturb Ms. Austin?

Well, Ms. Austin...

Sure didn't mean to.

First I give away my cattle to keep her from finding out what's going on

and you advertise it to her.

What happened?

Well, I, uh...

We knocked on her door. You see, we had Mrs. Banner with us, and...

Alice, uh, Ms. Austin was taking a bath, and we...

You shouldn't have done that, Major.

If Jet's not in town,

he's either to Newmark or out looking for Dude Rankin.

So go get him, and find him.

And Prince...

I'll see Ms. Austin.

And I'll tell her you're sorry for anything that happened at the hotel last night.

The trouble I caused you last night ain't nothing

compared to what I'll cause you if you ever take a swing at me again.

I don't like your gun boys, Major.

I'll be glad to see Jet get rid of 'em.

What makes you so sure he will?

I hear tell he's already made a pretty good start.

I wouldn't advise you to clash again with Prince, Major.

You need him as much as you need me.

My advice to you, Devlin, is to mind your own business.

Watch your temper!

I'm not Prince.

Judy put enough food on this tray for six men.

I feel like I've been fattened for Thanksgiving.

She loves you.

If you could've seen the look on her face last night holding that gun...

She'll make a good wife.

I don't know how to tell her, But I...

I didn't exactly have marriage in mind.

What did you have in mind?

Well, the...

The sun was shining and stream was running, and...

I kissed her.

I don't remember any sun or any stream when you kissed me.

What was the reason in my case?

In your case, I didn't need a reason.

Who is it?

It's Judy.

Need to get this lock fixed.

Well, shirt's as good as new. How's the patient?

Fit enough to wear the shirt.

Told you he was tough.

Better get the room Ms. Alice slept in straightened up

before Mrs. Banner finds out I've been giving away the hotel's accommodations.

Ms. Austin in her room?

Oh, I, uh... Uh... Yes.

I'll tell her you're here.

Never mind, I'll tell her myself.

No! But... But she's...

Who is it?

Linton, Alice.

I'm not dressed!

Well, can't you put on a robe?

Please wait downstairs, Linton.

Let me in, Alice. I've got to talk to you.

Well, you're dressed.

Too bad.

Your man Prince had better luck last night.

Notice the broken lock?

He smashed in here while I was bathing.

Now please, please.

I'll see to it that he's punished for his mistake.

He didn't break in here by mistake.

He was carrying out your orders to kill your nephew.

Now get out of here.

I'm afraid you don't quite understand, Alice.

I certainly don't.

When I first met you in Virginia,

you were a gentleman of honor.

But out here, you're...

I'm sorry.

I have a bad temper. I always have had.

Alice.

You're just talking out of anger about last night.

Hold it, Major.

So Prince was right.

You were hiding this killer.

Killer! Jet had to fight to save his life.

Ask him why he murdered one of my men last night.

I don't care about your quarrel.

I came out here to marry you.

But after certain things I've seen,

I'm not sure the whole thing isn't a mistake.

I'm no different now than I was when you promised to marry me.

That's what I'm beginning to fear.

So you're turning me down.

For this.

I'm sure that thought never entered Ms. Austin's head.

If she'd have me,

I'd marry her right now.

No! No!

I'll kill you, boy!

Like a man...

Judy.

Oh!

Somebody's gotta stop him.

A good beating will knock the Cosgrave out of both of 'em.

No, no! No more. Stop it.

Would you rather he kill me?

I've just come from the Newmark.

There ain't a Polsen cow in the whole valley.

Who do you reckon made off with 'em? The Major?

More likely Jet and them hired hide-binders of his.

That's what you get for making a deal with a Cosgrave.

Got your horses.

We're a-heading for the Newmark.

Where's Dude?

Where is everybody?

I am the only body you got left, senor.

The rest of the crew sold out to the Major.

For how much?

For all the cattle Dude and the boys could round up.

Major give them a bill of sale.

They took the Polsen stock for good measure.

That won't get 'em far.

You can't find them alone, boss.

I can count the Polsens in when they hear what happened to their cows.

How about you, Curly?

Yeah, I'm still here.

Hey, boss! Circle C!

Look out, boss!

Hey, boss! The Polsens!

They've missed their cattle. Stay down!

Hup!

Pa!

Hold your fire, Polsens!

Jet Cosgrave coming out.

Well, looky here.

Looky here, walking out innocent as a pair of lambs.

You drove off our stock.

You got just ten seconds to tell us where.

I didn't take your cows. Dude Rankin did.

Rankin works for you.

Not anymore.

He sold out to the Major.

They all sold out, except Curly here.

Pa...

Cal Prince shot him.

He's the only one that got away.

Plenty of time to take care of Prince after we get our herd back.

Head for town, Curly, get a doc.

Too late for a doctor.

This boy's a-fixin' to die.

Go ahead and get Judy out here.

Judy's no daughter of mine. I don't want her here.

She's his sister. Maybe he'd like her out here.

Hey.

Where do you think you're going?

After Dude Rankin. Boone, you and Zeke go with him.

Don't let your eyes off of him.

No Cosgrave's gonna rustle Polsen stock.

I told you, Rankin took your stock.

I ain't taking the word of no Cosgrave.

Get started.

Whoa!

Well, there they are.

Let's give the old ponies a breather before we go to this picnic.

You know when they got us outnumbered, this ain't gonna be easy.

We can even up the odds if we stampede the herd against the outriders.

Man can't do much fightin' if he's busy getting out of the way of running cattle.

We're gonna be kinda busy, too,

whenever we have to gather up that herd again by ourselves.

They're heading for the water hole at Lava Sinks.

Those cows will smell water right now.

Won't take too much to get 'em a-runnin'.

They'll still be there when we wanna pick 'em up.

Come on, Cosgrave, let's give 'em a fright.

It's Jet and the Polsens.

Hyah, come on, get.

Where's Zeke?

Oh, he'll be along. He's always a day late and a dollar short.

Looks like ol' Boone's gonna be riding a silver-mounted saddle.

Dude sure ain't gonna be needing it where he's going.

Might as well have the whole outfit.

Come on, let's go tell Pa we got our cattle back.

Interfering idiot kid.

Annoying.

Just sick.

I've had about all this I can stand.

Why, what is it? What is it now?

There's only one thing left for me to do.

And that's challenge Jet to a gunfight.

Well, you can't do that. Not yet.

You got Ms. Austin to think of.

I've got the Circle C to think of.

I can always find another woman.

Suppose... Suppose Jet kills you.

That's my worry.

It's my worry, too.

If you should die,

the Circle C reverts to Jet by natural rights of inheritance.

Where does that leave me?

I'll tell you where that leaves you.

You can forge another will.

Wait! You listen to me.

I've been your silent partner of Circle C ever since the Colonel's death.

Now I demand that you confirm that partnership in writing.

Devlin, I'm not the least bit interested in your demands.

Oh?

Perhaps Jet might...

Don't cross me, Devlin.

Mentally, you're sharp, but physically, you're a coward.

It takes a man to cross me.

Not a rabbit.

If I didn't need you, I'd kill you.

Wait, boss. Don't go in there.

The Major is inside.

- Who's with him? - No, no, boss.

The two ladies are with him.

Where's our Pa?

Oh, he went to get a wagon for Asa's body.

He said one of you fellows should take the ride to town

and see a minister about the funeral.

Maybe you better take care of it, Zeke.

All right.

You've come to the wrong place, Major.

So did you, Jet.

You have five minutes to get out of here.

And I'll give you just five seconds to go for your gun.

You better stay out of this, Curly.

No, Jet. Please leave.

Judy's in there, Jet.

She's seen enough of this bloodshed already.

Her brother Asa is dead.

Ask the Major who killed him.

Don't try to twist everything against me, Jet.

Ms. Austin wanted to come out here with Judy,

so I came along with them.

You're afraid to let Alice out of your sight.

You've done pretty well for yourself, Jet.

You shot up my crew, took my line camp.

And now you'd like to take Alice away from me.

That's right, Major.

Judy...

Wait, Jet.

You've caused that girl trouble enough.

Don't go after her unless you can forget everything except her.

I mean it.

I can't stand by while you ruin Judy's life just to fight the Major.

Please.

I've nothing to say to you, Jet.

I have something to say to you.

There's no need to explain.

You never mentioned the word "love".

And I was too stupid to realize it.

Let me do the talking, Judy.

Not now, Jet.

I've had just about all I can stand for one night.

Look, Judy...

I don't know, I...

I thought I could hurt the Major if I took his girl away from him.

I don't love Alice.

I just wanted to get even with him.

You don't love anything but revenge.

You don't think of anybody but yourself.

How do you think Ms. Alice felt?

Or me?

I hope I never see you again, Jet Cosgrave.

You will, Judy. I'm coming to Asa's funeral.

You're not wanted there.

We Polsens bury our own dead.

Judy.

Ain't you coming home with us?

I still got a lot of forgetting to do.

Whoa.

Get my luggage, please, Sam?

Sure thing, Ms. Alice.

We don't have much in common, Ms. Alice.

But it's sure been nice knowing you.

We had a lot in common, Judy.

Sis!

Pa wants you to come home.

For another whipping?

He's says to tell you he's sorry and he needs you at home.

Judy.

I need you, too.

No.

I feel the same way as Ms. Alice.

You and the Major, you'll go on feuding forever.

Or until one of you's dead.

Me, I'm a Polsen.

And I've already had enough feuding to last me a lifetime.

Boone, my horse is in the stable, get it, please.

Sure enough, sis.

No, Jet.

You can't blame her for feeling that way.

I don't. I blame myself.

And the Major.

I'd like to talk to you, Alice.

Goodbye, Linton.

Goodbye?

This senseless feud you're waging with your nephew...

You call protecting the Circle C senseless?

You're not protecting it.

You're both destroying it.

I'm going home, Linton.

As easy as that.

You just walk out on the man you promised to marry.

I found that you're not the man I promised to marry.

Drive on, Sam.

Sure thing.

Judy, if you'll wait...

I've had enough of you, Jet.

Let's see how fast you can go for that gun.

Don't fight him, Jet.

There's nobody can outshoot Major Cosgrave.

Maybe another Cosgrave can.

Turn around, Jet.

Is that the way you win all your gunfights, Major?

Put somebody at a man's back?

Stay out of this, Prince.

Not this time, Major.

I'm through doing things your way.

What, you gonna turn around or do you want it in the back?

I'll count to three.

Count's for you, too, Major.

When he fires, I'm taking you with me.

One...

Two...

Thanks, Boone.

That wasn't for you. That was for Asa.

Shoot him again, Jet. Shoot him again.

When he's dead, you'll get the Circle C

by natural rights of inheritance.

Just the way you wanted it, Colonel.

I don't want it that much.

Not enough to kill a man in cold blood.

I guess my own blood's nothing but ice water,

ever since the Major took a pistol to me.

He took the Circle C away from you, Jet.

Shut up, Devlin.

You've lost your mind.

Yes, I've lost my mind.

Tell him about the will you had forged.

Go on. Tell him. Tell him!

Jet!

You were right all along, Jet.

I was the one that was wrong for not believing in you.

Judy...

I've been plenty wrong myself.

Sometimes you want something so bad you fight to the last ditch for it.

When you win,

you wish you could have done it without hurting people.

Yeah, but sometimes, you can't help it.

Besides, you can't change what's passed.

But we can change the future.

People in the valley won't have to be afraid anymore.

And I think we can live without gunfights.

And raise our families proper.

Why don't you say what you mean, Jet Cosgrave?

Can't you say it any plainer than that?

Much plainer.

I sure hope we can still find that preacher.

Go get him, Boone.
