- The gentlemen of the press,
- Mr. President.

- Good.
- Let them come in.

- President Cleveland
- Will receive you now, gentlemen.

Gentlemen,

I'm at your service.

- Mr. Cleveland, we'd like to know
- What you're going to do

about the Indian

appropriations bill.

- During my previous term
- In office

I was opposed to the opening

of any Oklahoma territory

to white settlement..

because I felt the terms

were unfair to the Indians.

- The Cherokee strip
- Contains six million acres

of the finest farming land

in America.

It is our last free frontier.

It's 180 miles long

and 50 miles wide.

- But both houses
- Have now approved the measure

and since I happen to believe

that the will of the people

is properly expressed

through the congress

I will sign the bill.

And I'm issuing

this proclamation.

[instrumental music]

[crowd cheering]

That's it, boys. They pay off

the Injuns, and we move in!

[chugging]

[horn blaring]

[crowd clamoring]

- Get that Cherokee silver, Joe.
- We're in.

Right.

- Who'll sign for this money?
- 'I will.'

Hear that stuff clink

when they set it down?

Yeah.

I kinda like that sound.

Good luck.

[train chugging]

[instrumental music]

[crowd clamoring]

[gunshots]

- Alright, throw down those guns.
- Get 'em up.

Now fork over those moneybags.

[dramatic music]

Unhook this lead horse.

What?

Hoaah.

Alright, come on.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

- (male ♪1)
- Come on. Giddy-up.

[music continues]

Hey! Hey!

Whip, it's a holdup!

[gunshots]

[gunfire continues]

[music continues]

[gunfire continues]

Alright, get to cover, boys!

[gunfire continues]

[music continues]

Ha. Come here.

[music continues]

(male ♪2)

the whole Cherokee strip

I've had time to survey

and as most of you know

the section we've chosen

is perfect for a town site.

It's flat and there's

plenty of water.

[indistinct chattering]

The, uh, Texas cattle trails

run down through here.

And the Santa Fe railroad

can build their line

down here from Wichita.

And they will build it too

if we'll give 'em a decent town

and decent trade.

- All around are thousands
- Of acres

of the richest land

in Oklahoma.

And it'll all be peopled

by this time tomorrow.

'Folks that'll need doctors,

lawyers, merchants.'

'It's a new start

for all of us'

but it's gonna mean

a lot of hard work.

- And it's gonna mean
- Sticking together

for the common good.

- And it's gonna mean
- Getting there first tomorrow.

Now, there may be some trouble.

- 'Cause I've been watched
- And trailed by men'

'who probably aim to beat us

to our town site.'

But they won't,

for when that shot is fired

my son and I

with our fastest riders

will race across prairies

and stake our claims.

The rest of you can follow

with wagons and camp equipment.

Now, is that clear?

- [crowd in unison] - Yes.
- Yes.

Alright, then.

Good luck to everybody.

- (male ♪3)
- Let's take a look at that map.

[indistinct chattering]

John, you know I envy you.

- It's a great plan.
- I wish I could be with you.

- And you will be
- Later, judge.

- Pop's countin'
- On you bringin' law

into this territory, judge.

That's gonna be some job

- judging from the scum of the
- West I've seen drifting in here.

Ah, won't be too big

a job for you, dad.

- You think one
- Poor old judge can make

the whole robber's roost behave?

If anybody can.

Seems I've raised

an optimist, Ned.

Come on, John.

There'll be a lot of changes

in our lives after tomorrow.

First, you'll be riding circuit

with your father and..

I'll be helpin'

to start a new town.

Aren't you thrilled?

I would be if it didn't

mean us being separated.

- Tulsa'll spring up
- Overnight, Ned.

We'll soon be settled there

with father holding court

and sending dangerous

outlaws to jail.

- As soon as I get there,
- I'm gonna claim the most

beautiful spot of all...

for us.

Oh, Ned,

isn't it wonderful?

- A whole new life
- Ahead of us.

A whole new city,

and soon a new state.

And it all begins tomorrow.

Get your partners for a dance!

[crowd cheering]

Ned, let's dance.

One more couple

right over there.

That's it.

[crowd clamoring]

- 'Well, here we go!'
- 'Whoo!'

[instrumental "Oh Susanna"]

(male ♪4)

'Salute your partner.'

'Forward dance,

swing on the right.'

'Swing on the left.'

'Hold the man proud and tall'

'and swing him around.'

[music continues]

'And forward and back'

'swing on the right

on the left.'

'First lady and the last gent'

'forward dance.'

'Do-si-do.'

'Next lady'

'and the last gent,

forward dance.'

'Do-si-do.'

Hoo!

'Now, then..'

all join hands

and circle to the center.

'Grab right, then left.'

'When you reach your partner'

'everybody swing

to the right.'

'Now to the left.'

- Have, uh..
- Have you seen who's here?

(male ♪4)

and swing her all around.'

'Take her to your arms

Who's the stranger with Jane?

I wouldn't know.

Whoo!

- How'd we get in here?

- I don't know.

[sniffs]

isn't it?

Mm, beautiful night,

- Yes, it is.

- Just feel that air.

- Feel that air.
- Go on.

- What?
- Feel that air.

- Mm.
- It's like velvet, isn't it?

- What's the matter
- With you?

Can we go, darling?

So soon? Oh, let's

stay a little longer.

Hello, Ned.

Surprised?

Hardly. I expected you

to show up sooner or later.

- You know each other?
- Oh, yes.

- But Ned's a very funny
- Kind of fellow.

Doesn't like to admit it.

- Your father's waiting for us.
- Wait a minute.

I haven't thanked

the lady for the dance.

Thank you, my lady.

May I look forward to again

being favored

next time we meet?

- [chuckles]
- You're a lunatic.

[laughs]

He's crazy.

Did he ask you

to feel the air?

Why, yes.

Who is he?

Someone I'd like to forget.

- But I told you,
- We ain't got no rooms left.

- I didn't ask you that,
- I asked you

- which was the best room
- In the house?

- Number 6 and there's
- About 18 boomers

sleepin' in it right now.

But that's our room.

- I told you we couldn't
- Hold nothing, miss.

- I told you, you had to sit
- In it to keep it.

- The town's overrun
- With boomers

- 'and if you ain't there,
- They are.'

What's this about our room?

- (male ♪5) - 'I told you
- We couldn't hold nothin'.'

- I'd be glad to let you have
- My room, ma'am.

- Well, that's very
- Kind of you.

- Oh, thank you,
- But we couldn't put you out.

Wouldn't be putting me out.

- Just a minute.
- What room do you think you have?

Number 6

and you're very welcome to it.

- See here, young fella,
- I told you who was in Number 6.

About 18 boomers sleepin'

on the floor, three deep.

Oh, that's alright.

- They'd be glad to do
- A favor for a lady.

- That's awfully generous
- Of you but

- I really don't know
- How to thank you.

- Not another word.
- Just leave it to me.

[instrumental music]

Hey, what's goin' on here?

[snoring]

- Come on, you mavericks!
- On your feet!

- The land rush is on!
- Come on!

- They've fired the starting gun!
- Come on!

[men shouting]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

He's taking me home

to his house.

[indistinct chattering]

- The soldiers are all bunched on
- The immigrant line.

- But on the other side of the
- Creek they begin thinning out

to one soldier every 50 yards.

Two.

- We can slip
- Through there tonight

- and be on the inside,
- Waiting for 'em.

What about this "Sooner" law?

Once we've staked out a claim,

they can't prove a thing.

Well, what are we

waitin' for?

- Waiting for the line to thin out
- So we can slip through.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chattering]

Bet $10.

That's brand-new money.

Where'd you get it, mister?

Minted it myself

this morning.

- Aces always beat kings.

- Ahh.

- Whip, I just seen
- One of the fellas

My name's Whip McCord.

That mean anything to you?

- How's that?

- McCord.

McCord, McCord, McCord?

- I don't like it.
- Do you?

[piano music]

I want that Indian money.

- Well, go and get it
- From the Indians.

Go on.

Get over there.

Get over.

That's a boy.

Play, professor.

[piano music]

[gunshots]

[crowd screaming]

- Hiya, sheriff.
- I'm glad you got here.

What's it about, McCord?

- You looking for the man
- That held up the stagecoach

and got that Indian money?

- Naturally.
- What's that got to do with it?

That's him just left here.

- I called him on it
- And he started shootin'.

How'd you know him?

How else would a man

get new-minted money?

- He's been spreadin' it
- All around the joint.

- That's right.
- We all seen him.

- Who was he?

- The Oklahoma Kid.

- "The Oklahoma Kid," huh?
- Yeah.

- Let me take a look
- At that silver.

I'll show you.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Let's compare watches, captain.

Here's Ned.

Hey there!

Ooh, well, well,

how are you, judge?

- Get there first, Ned.
- We will.

- And don't be too long
- Comin' to our city.

Get it built first.

It's almost time to sound

the warning signal.

Sound the attention.

[bugle call]

Goodbye, Ned,

and good luck to you.

You're my good luck.

[clamoring]

- Bye!
- Come on, Ned.

[instrumental music]

Starting gun goes off

in five minutes, boys.

[cheering]

- Wait a minute, pop.
- Wait a minute.

What's your best whiskey?

Kentucky Bourbon, 11 years old.

Aha.

I'll try some of

your bar whiskey.

Wanna catch that stampede?

- Go ahead.
- I'll hold down the bar.

- No, thanks.
- Have a drink on the house.

[intense music]

Squad, ready.

Squad, fire!

[gunshots]

[clamoring]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Hello, young fella.

- Never got to thank
- You for the rooms.

- Oh, don't mention it.
- Where's the bartender?

Outside watching

the rush, I suppose.

'It's a great sight, wasn't it?'

I don't know.

I didn't see it.

- You didn't see it?
- No.

- I thought I'd have me
- A quiet little drink instead.

What'll you have? I'll serve

you. It's on the house.

- Here, uh, try some
- Of this uncut moonshine.

- Got some taste to it.
- Go ahead.

Well, thanks.

- How come a strong,
- Healthy young fellow like you

- isn't out there up to
- His neck in this land rush?

Why? I'm doin' alright.

- Those people are going out
- There to build a new empire.

- Fine.
- Let 'em have it.

You mean to say you've got

no feeling for the country?

- No pride in seeing
- A civilization

carved out of a wilderness?

What sort of

an American are you?

I like the country fine.

As for civilization

- I've got nothing
- In particular against it.

I can take it or leave it alone.

- What sort of folks
- Did you come from?

Ho, ho, ho.

- The most God-fearing,
- Law-abiding

- land-grabbing, empire-building
- Fellas you ever saw.

Suckers for this land-rush

stuff, too, but not for me.

I crave a nice easy-goin'

existence and I've got it.

I see. No responsibility.

No ambition.

- None of this get-up
- -And-get-it stuff

that regular folks have.

Exactly, and that's why

my folks and I

have been on the outs for years.

You seem like a very

antisocial young man.

But I'm not. I'm as social

as a setter pup.

I like all kinds of people.

But I don't take to this itch

- for ploughing up new empires,
- That's all.

But why not?

I'll tell you why not.

Now, look.

In the first place..

- ...the white people steal the
- Land from the Indians, right?

- They get paid for it,
- Don't they?

- Paid for it?
- Yeah.

A measly $1.40 an acre

- price agreed to
- At the point of a gun.

- Then the immigrants
- Sweat and strain

- and break their hearts
- Carving out a civilization.

Fine. Great.

- Then when they get it
- All pretty and prosperous

along come the grafters

and land-grabbers

and politicians

- and with one hand
- Skim off the cream

and with the other,

scoop up the gravy.

- Not for me.
- Listen.

- I learned this
- About human nature

- when I was about
- So high and that is

- that the strong
- Take away from the weak

and the smart take it

away from the strong.

- I suppose you never
- Heard of the law

that protects people's

rights and property?

Yeah, I've heard of it.

I've seen it work too.

Sometimes, it's alright.

In the cities, maybe fine.

But here, you can't trust it.

- This is the only law
- That I know that's worth

- a hoot in this part
- Of the country.

The only law.

Oh, but, this is wasting time.

Come on. Let's have a drink.

- (Abe)
- 'Hands up.'

- Hello, Abe. Hello, Sam.

- Howdy, judge.

- Will you kindly remove
- Those irons, please, sir?

Why, certainly.

Excuse me, son.

- This young fellow
- A friend of yours?

- Well, not exactly. We're just
- Having a drink together.

- He's got some very original
- Ideas about life.

- I wouldn't wonder.
- Just keep 'em up, son.

Don't start any trouble.

- Well, what's up?

- I'm Abe Collins.

- Who?
- Abe Collins.

- Is he?
- Yes, he's the sheriff.

- Mm.
- Now, look here.

- You dropped some
- New-minted money last night

- in a blackjack game,
- Didn't ya?

- That's right. What of it?
- Nothin'.

- Only it happens to be part of
- That Indian consignment

- stolen from the stage
- Yesterday evenin'.

- Well, it seems like
- The law won out even out here.

- We've been waiting a long time
- To pick up this boy.

- (Hardwick)
- 'Is that so?'

'Well, he's an amiable thief.'

- 'So pleasant about it all.
- Who is he?'

- We don't know his right name,
- But throughout the territory

he's known as the Oklahoma Kid.

Alright, Kid.

- Good morning, ma'am.

- Good morning.

Lovely morning.

[dramatic music]

[gunshots]

Father, what's happened?

Seems that our young friend

is the Oklahoma Kid.

[instrumental music]

Whip, here they come.

[dramatic music]

Sorry, gents.

- I'm afraid you're trespassing
- On private property.

- Sooners, eh?

- No.

- We just got here ahead of you.
- That's all.

- We led the field all the way,
- Nobody else in sight.

- We'll have you cited
- At the land office.

Oh, now keep your shirt on.

- There's no sense in startin'
- Any trouble when everything

- can be settled quiet
- And peaceful.

- The only way to settle this
- Is for you to get off our land.

Your land?

- Here's our claim stake stickin'
- Right up here in front of you.

- You won't get away
- With this.

I think we will.

- We've already got
- A man halfway back

to the claim office.

- You're licked, Mr. Kincaid,
- And you know it.

- Hey, what are you after?
- Nothin' much.

We just heard you were figurin'

on building a town here.

That's alright with us.

- All we want's
- A part of it.

- And the exclusive rights
- To any saloons

or gambling houses

the town might need.

- Who are you?
- Where are you from?

Whip McCord

from the Panhandle.

What's your proposition?

- You go right ahead
- And build your town

and attract settlers.

- So you can
- Take away their money

at faro and roulette, eh?

Yeah, that's the idea,

you take care of their virtues

- I'll take care of their vices,
- That's simple, ain't it?

- We'll fight you through
- The courts first, we'll...

- You aren't gonna do
- Yourself any good in court.

- You can't start building
- Until the title's cleared

and you know how

long that'll take.

Meanwhile, some other town

will be years ahead of you.

Anyway, why fight?

- What's a few hundred foot
- Of business frontage

to an empire builder

like you, Mr. Kincaid?

- Alright.
- Pick out your ground.

Right here.

- And here's a waiver of right
- To protest

- under the "Sooner" law,
- So that everything

will be fair and square.

[indistinct chatter]

(McCord)

'Hey'

Hey!

[gunshots]

- Alright, boys.
- He's only a floater.

Get on with your play.

[gunshots]

Shootings, killings, robberies

- and a mighty orgy of
- Drunkenness, gambling and vice

all directly traceable

to McCord's influence.

Why he owns our mayor

our sheriff

and half our deputies?

Yes, they make arrests

- just enough
- To save their faces

but we can't convict

because despite my efforts

juries are bribed

and witnesses intimidated.

I say we need a showdown.

- (male ♪7)
- Yes, a showdown!

Either McCord and his crowd

run this town or we do.

It's time to find out.

[indistinct]

I know, I've been wondering

how much longer

this could go on.

- We made a mistake
- In the first place

in making a deal with him.

Now, what do you suggest?

I say we should form

a vigilance committee.

Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

No, no. That would only be

one mob fighting another.

We represent law and order.

We've got to take control

away from McCord legally.

[crowd cheering]

- (John)
- We've seen these gamblers

and criminals make our city

the nesting place

for all the scum of the west.

'We've seen vice

and corruption flourish'

and our officials

do nothing about it.

[crowd cheering]

'We've seen murders committed'

- 'in our streets
- And public places'

and the murderers

go unpunished.

We can't tolerate

this condition any longer.

It's up to you, men,

as voters

to stop this lawlessness.

I ask you to elect me mayor

so I can clean out McCord

and his gang

of thieves and murderers.

I ask you to elect

my son sheriff.

- (crowd in unison)
- Hooray!

Alright, boys, break it up.

[gunshots]

[laughing]

[indistinct chatter]

McCord!

Breaking up a few speeches

isn't going to save you.

In the end, I'll see

that the law gets you.

And it won't be just

to run you out of town.

It will be at

the end of a rope.

We ought to do somethin'

about Kincaid, Whip.

- He's likely to get up
- The vigilantes

- like they did
- In Dodge City.

We'll do somethin'.

- We'll get him
- On the end of that rope

and it'll be in his own

law-and-order fashion too.

Don't like music, huh?

Don't like the music, huh?

[indistinct chattering]

Morning, friend.

- Where's the jailhouse
- In this town?

- Right up the street.
- You can't miss it.

- Glad to hear that.

- 'How's that?'

- Uh, is that where they're
- Keeping old man Kincaid?

- Yep, smack-dab in
- The front cell upstairs

where folks can stare at him.

Alright. Thanks.

- 'You're a stranger in town.'
- That's right.

Seems like I've seen

your face someplace.

Well, I wouldn't know that.

I've been a lot of places.

Ha! Come on!

Holy smoke!

Holy smoke!

[instrumental music]

(John)

worry too much.

Now, son, I wouldn't

[whistling]

[no audio]

- Who was that?

- Why, it was the Kid.

Who, the Kid?

- Couldn't be.
- He wouldn't dare.

- Why, I...

- I guess you're right, Ned.

I must have been mistaken.

Now, about the trial.

- With Judge Hardwick on the bench
- There's nothing to alarm us.

Dad, you're covering up.

It was him, wasn't it?

- Sheriff, the Oklahoma Kid's
- In town!

- I knew it!
- I saw him myself!

Where're you going, Ned?

I think I know where he'll be.

- Wait, son.
- Don't do anything you'll regret.

[instrumental music]

[doorbell rings]

What are you doing here?

Hello, ma'am.

Came here to see you

and to talk to you.

- You shouldn't be
- In Tulsa.

- The whole town is
- Plastered with posters

offering a reward for you.

I know, I saw them.

Everyone an insult,

a measly $500.

Well, you'd better come inside

- before someone tries
- To collect it.

Won't you come in?

Oh, you're still

as crazy as ever.

Thank you, ma'am.

Oh, I..

- Mm.
- Very pretty.

This is Aunt Maggie.

How do you do, Aunt Maggie?

Ah, the hem got loose and..

Oh, I see.

Well, uh, excuse us,

Aunt Maggie, hmm?

We, uh, we'd like

to be alone.

There you are.

Now you can stop blushing.

- Did you say you want
- To talk to me?

- Yes, I did, but
- As a matter of fact

I want to talk to your father.

Well, he isn't here.

- And I don't know
- Where I can reach him.

- Well, well,
- You could help me

if you wanted to, uh..

They tell me that the candidate

for mayor is in jail.

Is that why you came?

Yeah, strangely enough, it is.

- Well, I don't like
- To see anybody in jail.

- You can understand that,
- Can't you?

- I never know whether
- To take you seriously or not.

- No, I'm absolutely
- On the level.

I, uh, I'd really like

to help him.

- Now, it's not gonna hurt
- Anything, is it

if you tell me what you know?

Please.

Well, they say

- he killed a man,
- A Mr. Bates.

- Let's not mind what they say.
- What does he say?

He says that Bates

sent for him.

- When he arrived at Bates' house,
- He found him dead.

Few moments later

- McCord and some others
- Of his crowd came in.

- 'They've sworn
- That Kincaid had the gun'

'in his hand when they entered.'

- Why?
- They want him out of the way.

- Thank heaven, my father
- Will be the judge.

- You don't think they'll be able
- To get away with anything, huh?

- They most certainly won't.
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, that's all
- I wanted to know.

And, uh..

- ...'cause if
- You're satisfied, I mean

- you and your father
- Are satisfied

- the old man
- Didn't do the killing.

Of course, he didn't.

He's not that kind.

- My kind?

- Yes, your kind.

Thank you, ma'am.

Why are you making

this your business, anyway?

Because he happens

to be my father.

Your father?

[doorbell rings]

Hey, hey, hey.

[doorbell rings]

Go out this way,

through the back door.

- Here's a chance
- To get yourself 500.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Jane, I wanna talk to you.

- What's the matter, Ned?

- 'Where is he?'

- 'Who?'
- Sorry, Aunt Maggie.

- (Ned) - 'I'm looking for
- The Oklahoma Kid.'

- (Jane) - 'I don't know
- Who you're talking about.'

(Ned)

You remember him.'

'Oh, yes, you do.

He danced with you

that night in Cherokee City.

Yes, I remember him, but...

Well, he's here.

- In Tulsa?

- In this house.

Why, it's ridiculous. He isn't.

Jane. Look at me.

I told you he isn't here.

'Don't you believe me?'

- (Ned)
- 'I'm sorry.'

Ned, why didn't you ever

tell me that he

was your brother?

- How did you know that?

- I'd rather not say.

- 'Then he was here!'

- Yes, he was.

Why did you deny it?

Because he was your brother

and I wanted him to get away.

- 'Are you sure
- That's the only reason'

you wanted him to get away?

Yes.

- Where did he go?

- I don't know.

Ned, why didn't you

tell me about him?

Oh, it's just that dad

and I don't think of him

- as a member
- Of the family anymore.

- Is he that bad?

- He wasn't as a kid.

We were great pals then.

'But as he grew up,

everything changed.'

- He got so he thought
- The law was meant

- for one thing,
- Just to be broken.

So finally dad had

to throw him out.

- Why are you so interested?
- I'm not.

- It's just that
- He's your brother and...

Jane, you know

how I feel about you.

Of course, I do.

- I would have spoken
- Sooner, but I wanted

to get myself established first.

Oh, please, Ned, not now.

Jane, will you marry me?

Oh, Ned, let's not

talk about it now.

Come back later, tonight.

- You are upset
- About Jim, aren't you?

Jim?

That's the Kid's name.

Perhaps it is, Ned.

I don't know, but please go.

Alright.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

- 'Think you ought to
- Take him up on that.'

Thought I told you to go.

- And miss all that wonderful
- Lying you did for me? Oh, no.

I wasn't lying for you.

- Now you really
- Are lying, like a gentleman.

- Then it's lucky
- There's one gentleman present.

- Ooh, you mean I didn't
- Thank you? Well, I do thank you.

- But I-I really think you
- Ought to grab Ned off.

Make a great catch.

Sober, serious-minded

industrious...

law and order himself.

Goodbye, ma'am.

Where are you going?

I'll-I'll be around.

- I'm gonna give
- Your father's justice

a chance to work.

But it had better work.

[dramatic music]

- I tell you,
- We haven't got a case.

- I know this fellow Hardwick.
- I've known him for years.

You can't get to him.

- Well, he hasn't bothered
- Us much so far.

- Well, that was different,
- We were getting

people off, not convicting 'em.

- It's easy enough for me
- To fake a prosecution

- especially when
- The witnesses are fixed.

Why not?

We own the jury, don't we?

It won't get to the jury.

- If we'd used some cleverness
- In framing this thing

- we might have had a chance,
- But with the case we've got

Hardwick will throw

us out of court.

- Well, then,
- We'll get rid of him.

Oh, use sense, Whip.

I am.

Regardless of Hardwick,

Kincaid's gonna swing.

- And we'll start a run
- On that bank of his

- and when it goes down,
- We'll take it over.

And we'll get the rest of those

upright citizens

one way or another.

When we end up, this'll be

my town, wide open.

With more money pourin' in

than you ever saw before.

'In the meantime, we still

got to worry about Hardwick.'

Yeah.

How long have you known him?

Ten or 12 years.

- He's from Kansas City,
- But there's nothing on him.

I've tried that before.

Hmm. Has he got any relatives?

- Yeah, a brother.
- Feed merchant in Kansas City.

Alright.

- We'll get Hardwick
- Out of the way.

- You have the trial
- Moved up a couple of days.

'I think I can do that.'

- That'll give us
- Morgan for the judge.

- Doolin, you get me
- A boy we can trust.

Somebody that isn't

known around here.

Alright, come on. Get movin'.

- Alright,
- Write a letter to Hardwick.

- We'll make it look as though
- It came from his brother.

- I'll have a friend of mine
- Mail it from Kansas City.

This is bad news,

judge, very bad.

And I'm extremely sorry.

- Well, of course,
- I'll leave immediately.

- I'll catch this
- Morning's stage for Kansas City.

Yes, I suppose you must

but, uh, what about Kincaid?

- Oh, I'll have plenty of time
- To get to Kansas City

and back before the trial.

- By the way, you watch over
- Things while I'm gone, will you?

Of course.

Alright, boys. Everybody up!

It's on the house. Celebration!

[cheering]

Here's to Mr. Ringo

the smartest lawyer

west of Chicago.

[cheering]

- And the trial
- Set up for tomorrow

with Judge Morgan presiding.

Hooray for Mr. Ringo!

[dramatic music]

Look, this can't be true.

- I just received a postcard
- This morning from Uncle Stephen.

- He's not dying
- And he's not in Kansas City.

He's in Montreal.

You think him trick, eh?

Of course it is,

to get father out of town.

When did the stage leave?

Maybe four, five hours ago.

Get my horse saddled, quick!

[instrumental music]

Good morning, ma'am, kind of

- a hot morning
- To be riding so fast.

- Please don't stop me.
- I've got to catch father.

- The trial...
- Well, now, just a minute.

- Get those words out
- One at a time

- so I can understand 'em,
- Will you?

Yes, you should know.

- Somebody's tricked father
- With this letter.

It must be McCord.

Not a word of it's true.

- It's just
- To get him out of town.

Why?

- McCord owns Judge Morgan,
- That's why.

- They've moved the trial
- Up to tomorrow.

Morgan will preside.

- And they'll railroad
- The old man.

Unless I can bring

father back in time.

- Look here, you go on,
- Get back to town.

- Back to town?
- Yeah.

- Get hold
- Of the old man's lawyer.

- Show him that and tell him
- He's got to delay that trial

- if you got to pull a trick
- Out of the bottom of the bag.

But father...

- I'll go after him
- And bring him back.

I'm kinda handy

at stopping stages.

Alright.

Oh, I'm so glad you saw me.

I see you more often

than you know.

Said I'd be around,

didn't I? Huh? Ha-ha.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Hello? Hey, wake up in there!

Hello in there!

Hey, wake up!

Who is it? What do you want?

- Stage go by here?
- Yeah.

- How long ago?
- About two hours.

- Alright, put up the gun.
- I want a change of horse.

I'm willing to pay for it.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[no audio]

[gunfire]

Alright, boys. Throw 'em down.

- The rest of you
- Can take it easy, all I want

is Judge Hardwick, come on.

Well... you, eh?

Yep. Put 'em down, judge.

This is no holdup.

Well, what is it, then?

- Uh, this may surprise you,
- But right now

I'm working for law and justice.

- And your brother
- Isn't sick at all.

- McCord sent you that note
- To get you out of town.

- How did you know
- About that note?

- 'Your daughter told me.'
- My daughter?

- Yeah, she didn't
- Like the looks of it

- and I did
- A little investigating.

Uh, McCord has had

the trial moved up

and Judge Morgan is presiding.

- Morgan?
- 'Yeah.'

That sounds like him.

What's your interest in this?

My name is Jim Kincaid.

- Are you John Kincaid's son?
- Yeah.

- But this is wasting
- A lot of good time. Come on.

- Have you got another mount?
- No.

- But we can pick one up at
- A settler's cabin down the road.

Alright, boys, on your way.

Ha!

- (Ringo)
- 'Handley, take the stand.'

- (male ♪8)
- 'Raise your right hand.'

- 'Do you swear to tell
- The truth, the whole truth'

- 'and nothing but
- The truth, so help you God?'

- You say that Mr. Bates was
- Alive when you left the house?

Yes, sir. He showed us out.

Ned Tolley can tell you that.

- 'He saw Bates come to the door
- And say goodnight to us.'

- I object, Your Honor,
- To the witness testifying that...

Overruled. Proceed.

Mr. Tolley saw

Bates see you out?

Yes, sir.

What did you do then?

We walked on down

toward the square.

- I happened to
- Turn around just in time

to see Mr. Kincaid

go into the house.

'Then?'

Well, that kind of worried us.

- We knew Kincaid had it
- In for Bates...

- I object, Your Honor,
- To the witness...

Overruled. Proceed.

'So we went back.'

'Just as I got

to the door, I heard a shot.'

'Busted in, found Mr. Kincaid'

- 'standing in the center
- Of the room'

'a gun in his hand.'

Mr. Bates lying

on the floor dead.

[no audio]

What did you do then?

Naturally, we looked

to see if he was dead.

He was.

- We took the gun away
- From Kincaid

and sent for the sheriff.

- Not Ned,
- The old sheriff, Hartley.

Kincaid came up

the steps to McCord

and said to all of us..

- Well, anybody could
- Tell you what he said.

- I object, Your Honor,
- To the witness testifying that...

Overruled. Proceed.

Well, he said, um,

"I'm gonna get you, McCord

"and I'm gonna get Bates too.

- One way or another,
- I'm gonna get you."

So, gentlemen, if you think

- the defendant did shoot
- And kill Mr. Bates

you can find him guilty

of murder in the first degree.

'On the other hand, if you

think he did not kill him'

- 'and there's any
- Reasonable doubts in your mind'

'you'll find him not guilty.'

Jury will retire.

Your Honor, I don't think

there's any need

for the jury to retire.

'We can take a vote right here.'

[indistinct chatter]

- Oh, I'm so glad you're back.
- Where's dad?

- Well, he stopped
- At the bank to see Mr. Martin.

Well, uh, what's happened, Jane?

The trial started?

It's all over.

They found him guilty.

- It was the worst kind
- Of a farce.

They'd hardly let

Mr. Martin speak.

Well, I, uh, I guess

I'll be moving along.

Jim, don't do anything foolish.

- Well, it seems to me that's
- Just what I've been doing.

- Riding around
- The country trying to catch

the law by the coattails.

Perhaps dad can get a new trial.

- Perhaps he can prove
- That this one was illegal.

- Hmm. Perhaps, but
- You can't expect him

- to lean on any
- Of these people. Not anymore.

- Jim, think of your father
- And how he feels.

- He's an honorable man.
- He's lived with the law.

- Yes, I think he's very lucky
- To have a no-good son

to see he doesn't die by it.

- I don't think
- He'd get much satisfaction

of having your father, the judge

read Blackstone at his burial.

[dramatic music]

Ha!

[music continues]

Get 'em up.

Over here.

Alright, out. Come on.

- Is that cell empty?

- Yeah.

Now, where's my old man's cell?

- Who?
- Kincaid.

- He your father?
- Where's his cell?

Upstairs, in front.

Get in.

[intense music]

John Kincaid?

Hello! Here!

- Hello, pop.

- Jim!

- Come on, pop. I'm taking
- You out of this tin can.

'Oh, no, you're not.'

Come on, get into that coat.

I don't need your help.

Wrong again. Now, look if

you're gonna depend upon the law

- you're gonna wind up
- On the end of a rope.

Hey!

- Go to the bank
- And get the sheriff.

- The Kid is breaking
- Kincaid out of jail.

And here's one for ya,

the Kid is Kincaid's son!

- What's that?

- Yeah. Now, get going!

- I know you mean well, Jim,
- But there's an issue

- in this town
- You wouldn't understand.

Law or anarchy.

I represent law and order.

You don't. You never have.

- I'm not here
- To argue right from wrong.

- Do I have to hit you over the
- Head or carry you on my back?

That's the only way you'll

get me to go with you, son.

- If I let you take
- The law in your hands

- it would be
- An admission of my guilt.

- You see, Jim,
- It isn't only my freedom

that I'm fighting for.

But they've got you framed!

- Oh, Sheriff!
- Sheriff!

The Kid's got the keys, he went

upstairs to the old man's cell.

(Ned)

'Come on! Come on!'

- So long, pop.
- Good luck, son.

[gunfire]

- He locked the deputies
- In the cell

- and went upstairs
- To get Kincaid.

What do you think?

Kincaid is the Kid's old man.

- Hey, that makes it easy.
- That's a jailbreak.

This time, we'll

be the vigilantes.

Men, come over here!

Come in close!

You all know the Oklahoma Kid?

- (all)
- Yeah!

Well, I just heard

that the Oklahoma Kid

is old man Kincaid's son.

[all shouting]

- And what's more,
- The Kid's in town right now

- tryin' to break
- His old man out of jail!

[clamoring]

Old man Kincaid

was convicted of a murder.

A jury made up of you men

said that he should hang.

[indistinct chatter]

Yes, of course, he should!

Are you gonna stand by

and let an outlaw take

a murderer out of jail?

- (all)
- No!

If the law won't

stop him, we will!

Right, and if the law

won't hang Kincaid

then it's up to us!

[indistinct chatter]

And if we get the Oklahoma Kid,

we'll hang him too!

Are you with me?

- (all)
- Yeah!

What are we waiting for..

Go with 'em and keep 'em hot.

[all shouting]

(male ♪9)

for old man Kincaid!

Come on, boys,

Looks like a hanging party.

McCord gang's in the lead.

[clamoring]

Think this will fit him, boys?

- Let's go up and try
- It out on old man Kincaid.

[screaming]

They're on their way

to the jail.

Come on, boys!

Come on, where are those keys?

Come on, boys!

[indistinct chatter]

Here he is!

- Where's the Kid?
- I don't know.

He was here, wasn't he?

- Yes.
- Helpin' you to escape.

Wanted me to go with him.

That's all I wanted to know.

- Listen to me,
- In the name of the law!

Shut up!

[indistinct chatter]

[clamoring]

[clamoring]

[dramatic music]

[instrumental music]

Okay.

[dramatic music]

[doorbell rings]

Hello, Jane.

Do you know where my old man is?

He's in there.

Jim..

they've killed him.

- The mob broke
- Into the jail and..

[melancholic music]

Who was it? McCord?

No, his gang,

but McCord wasn't there.

Well, do you know

who was there?

There was Doolin, Curley,

Indian Joe, and Handley.

- Doolin, Curley,
- Indian Joe and Handley.

What are you gonna do about it?

- I'm going to the territorial
- Governor in the morning

and insist he put this

town under martial law.

Little bit late for that.

- Then we'll go
- After the ringleaders

and bring them to trial.

You better do it fast if you

want to get there ahead of me.

[dramatic music]

Father stop him.

Stop him! He'll be killed.

You couldn't stop him now, Jane.

I don't know as I want to.

[indistinct chatter]

[gunfire]

Come on, get over there. Over.

- Now, uh, where's McCord?

- He ain't here.

And Curley, Doolin, and Handley?

They ain't here either.

Indian Joe?

- Where's McCord?

- I don't know, Kid.

- Who did the hanging?

- I don't know, Kid.

- It was McCord, wasn't it?
- He was in on it.

I don't know,

I tell you. I don't know.

Alright. Come on down here.

[gunfire]

- Now, you can tell
- McCord and the rest of his gang

I'll be calling on them too.

- Great bunch of quittin' rats,
- The whole crowd of ya.

- A couple of hundred men
- And the Kid walks in

- and picks off Indian Joe like
- He was in a shootin' gallery.

We didn't have a chance, boss.

Now, look, get out!

- The Kid said he was
- Gonna get us all, Whip.

He named every one of us.

- Are you turning yellow too?
- No!

- But don't you think
- We ought to duck

- at least till
- The law gets the Kid?

No. I'm stayin' here.

- This is my town and nobody's
- Gonna run me out of it.

The Kid wants to shoot it

out with me, I'll be here.

How do we stand legally?

- Just like I told you,
- You weren't there.

- You're alright unless somebody
- Can prove you started it.

- They can't prove that unless
- Somebody says somethin'.

No.

- There ain't nobody
- Gonna say nothin'.

- Yeah, but the boys here
- Are not in such a good spot.

- There was a big crowd there
- And some of the citizens

must have recognized them.

I'm gonna hit the trail.

Might be best if they all did.

- I don't want any part
- Of that Kid.

I'm with Doolin.

I think we better go.

Alright. Go ahead, run out,

but get this.

'If anybody talks, you won't

have to worry about the Kid.'

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

- (Curley)
- 'How far is it to Burden?'

- That's over
- The Kansas line about 30 miles.

You figurin' on

gettin' there tonight?

How many horses you got?

None. Just a mule

and he's lame.

Go on. You two better

get out of here. Go on, go.

Where's Doolin and Handley?

How should I know?

- You were in on the hanging,
- Weren't you?

No. Give me a chance, Kid.

- I'll give you the same chance
- I gave Indian Joe.

Go on, reach for it.

Well... if you don't reach

for it, I can't shoot you.

[gunfire]

[dramatic music]

- What'll it be?
- Ah, whiskey.

Right.

[music continues]

[gunfire]

[gunfire]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Come out and get me, Kid!

[crying]

[crying]

I didn't do it, Kid.

I didn't, it was..

it was McCord.

McCord..

It was, it was McCord.

(Hardwick)

First, Indian Joe..

then, Curley.

- The list dispatched from Kansas
- City simply says they found

- Handley's body in the freight
- Yards, with the neck broken.

- Yeah, but, judge,
- You know as well as I do

- the Kid got him just the same
- As he got Curley and Indian Joe.

Yes, I know.

And one of these days we'll hear

- that Doolin
- Has gone to his reward.

Whatever that may amount to

- and then we'll chalk up
- Another for the Kid.

Yes, it's a puzzle to know

how to feel. A man's torn.

- One side of him says
- It's a frightful thing for a lad

to be piling up such

a record of bloodshed.

- And the other side of him
- Says, Go get him, Kid.

Get Doolin next.

- If only we could get
- Evidence against McCord

and bring him to trial.

- Well, Martin, you know,
- That Ned has worked as hard

- as any man possibly could
- These past few weeks.

It's impossible to get evidence.

The McCord gang is a closed

corporation of closed mouths.

- Mm-hmm, if we don't hurry up,
- The Kid won't leave anybody

for us to get evidence against.

[dramatic music]

[doorbell rings]

Jim!

Hello, Jane.

Is your father here?

He's inside with Mr. Martin.

I've got something interesting.

Jim, you shouldn't come here

- do you realize there's
- A price on your head?

- Yeah, yeah.
- Look, I've got Doolin outside.

- Doolin?
- Dead or alive?

- A little bit of each.
- But I, uh, I think

- he may have revived enough
- To bring his voice back.

- What did you get out of him?
- The whole story.

- I don't think I'd like
- To hear it again

so I'll leave him in your hands.

- Take Doolin down
- To the jail with Ned.

I'll be right down.

- Well then, in that case,
- I'll be going too.

- Jim, what are you
- Going to do?

I've got a date with McCord.

- (Hardwick) - 'Now, listen son, I know
- Just how you feel... '

- Well then, in that case,
- You won't hold me up

with a lot of talk, will ya?

Haven't you done enough?

I haven't done anything.

- Except kill a lot
- Of coyotes in self-defense.

If you wanna

put it in law talk.

Please wait.

It's no use, Jane.

- Would it mean anything to you
- If I ask you not to go?

- Now, don't talk like that.
- You and Ned are...

I love you, Jim.

- You don't know
- What you're saying.

- 'I'm no kind of a man a woman
- Could tie her bonnet to.'

Ned is. Women are crazy.

- That's why they fall
- In love with the wrong men.

But they do.

Now will you stay?

No, no.

I've started a job, Jane.

I've gotta finish it.

It's... a small point of honor

that maybe a woman

wouldn't understand.

Alright, Jim.

I'll try to understand.

There's only one thing

I want really.

And that is for you

to come back safely.

[instrumental music]

Give me some water, will ya?

Take it easy, Doolin.

- Tell me one more thing,
- Then you can have a drink.

I'll tell you everything..

G-give me a drink of water...

- McCord responsible
- For that lynching or not?

Water, please.

- McCord responsible
- For that lynching?

Yes, of course he was. He-he

was behind the whole thing.

He excited the boys to do it.

- That's all you need, Ned.
- Here's our witness.

Give him a drink. I'm going

down and arrest McCord.

Water.

[instrumental music]

Whip, I saw the Kid.

He brought Doolin into town.

He'll be coming here next.

Alright, fine.

I'd be glad to see him.

Now, you two boys go outside

and when the Kid shows up,

make sure you draw first.

Make sure your aim is good.

- Leave that to us.

- We'll watch him.

[music continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[music continues]

McCord. You're under arrest.

Get your hands up

and walk toward me.

[woman screams]

[gunfire]

[intense music]

Look out, Kid.

[music continues]

[music continues]

[gunfire]

[music continues]

Good work, Ned. Good work.

Yeah. We make a good team.

When we're working

on the same side.

- Now, don't talk anymore.
- You're not hurt much.

- I'll go and scare up
- A sawbones...

No, wait. Wait,

I must tell you now.

I wrote the governor.

Said you'd been... working

on the side of the law.

Asked him for a pardon, for..

- Oh, never mind that.
- Now, you'll be alright.

- Come on, just-just
- Get up here, I'll get ya.

Remember when we were kids,

you fell out of the apple tree?

- I had to carry you
- Home that time.

Yeah, sure, Ned. I remember.

- Well, one good turn
- Deserves another, you know.

Come on, now. Easy.

I'll get you home.

I'm sorry, Ned.

We should have gotten

together sooner.

[dramatic music]

But where are you going, Jim?

Oh, chasing the moon.

- I, uh, hear there's a lot of
- New territory out Arizona way.

Oklahoma's practically new.

Couldn't you just stay here?

Uh, no, I, uh, I don't like

the country around here.

Why, it's beautiful country.

- Yeah, I know
- The scenery's alright

except those placards.

- Every time I look at one
- Of those $500 insults

- I get madder and madder.
- Get around.

- But they're coming down.
- Father says it.

'Oh, down or not, I-I'd always

remember where they'd been.'

Oh, I understand.

A new country, a new leaf.

Me turn over a new leaf?

[chuckles]

I'd have to turn over

a whole public library.

Well, after

you've done all that..

- ...you think you'll ever,
- Ever be back this way again?

- Well, maybe, maybe not,
- It-it-it all depends

on the way things turn out.

Well, goodbye, Jim.

Bye.

Oh, Jim. Is Arizona

an awfully big place?

Yeah, yeah. So they tell me.

Then I'll have a hard time

finding you, won't I?

- Oh, look here, Jane,
- You don't want to let yourself...

- Well, I just mean if you're
- Empire-building, it-it'll save...

- Who said anything about
- Empire-building?

- Well, I just mean
- It's a difficult thing

to do by yourself.

- For an empire,
- You've got to have people.

People, you've got to have

children and for children...

- By authority as judge in the
- Crying need of this situation...

- Oh, now, just a minute,
- Judge, you...

- Jane, do you take
- This man to be your...

- Yes, I do, dad. Yes.
- Now, just a minute...

- (Hardwick) - 'Jim, do you take
- This girl to be your... '

- Jane, you don't want
- To get yourself in any...

- He takes me, father,
- Whether he likes it or not.

Very well, then.

I pronounce you..

Hold that hat.

Man and wife.
