(Upbeat Western Song)

they say a man needs a good woman to grow
a family tree but not joshua cave he was

a man who needed three he was homesteading 180
acres in the territory of wyoming and that's a

heap of mule plowing and stump grubbing. his city
dwelling daughters had full lives of their own

so he got himself three new ones to share his
land and home. the daughters of joshua cave

the daughters of joshua cave well ... there ain't no prettier sight

than three little gals
who've gone wrong, gone right

now one had sticky fingers lifting wallets
was her trade and one was a painted lady

joshua sprang from a gilded cage the third
she was a jailbird he got paroled from prison

three fisty women and now they're his
the daughters of joshua kay the daughters

of joshua k well... there ain't no prettier sight than three

little gals who've gone wrong gone right. well they
traded their button-up shoes for slogging boots

and their fancy wines for sorghum molasses
fat vat and bulldog gravy they crossed the

muddy prairie to help him stake his claim and josh
gave him a brand new home and a new adopted name

two faded lilacs one soil dove are building them
a new life with a man in the land they love

them three city thistles turned into rat nice
prairie sunflowers reckon it takes a wildcat

woman to tame a wilderness. the daughters of joshua

three little gals who've gone wrong done right

you seeing those eggs i fixed all the
time and was batching wasn't no good

speaking of baching it uh now this is an
honest-to-goodness home what about those

bare-skinned rugs you've been promising for
our bedroom floor well you know first honey

we gotta catch us a bear you said when the trees
in the west pasture were cut you'd go hunt and

get them for us and their cut we got the blisters
to prove it wouldn't hurt you nothing a few days

territorial prison i've forgotten plus which you

forgot that i'm having a talk with mayor bagley
this temporary sheriff has gone on too long

we'll get out them bearskins next week all right
if we can see it knows for dinner wouldn't hurt

none if we used to smell some huckleberry
pie when we get back either huh goodbye

well we tried chances are they
won't see me when i go in town

well if it was me i wouldn't go yes you would matt
cobley wasn't interested in you just this land

change from times past don't may well the way his
invitation was made i think it's best i accept

do you want us to come with you sure we'll
go no i don't think so i'll handle him

where the warning marshall you keep your death
side of this and he'll have you jog to death six

miles out of town no territorial prison is gonna
hold me i'll be back for you too see what i mean

why you flat fungal you've been in this tin box
nearly a week you broke out of nothing but runny

mouth ever since josh arrested you and if he ain't
the main just excuse for a law man this side of

the picture let's go dutton the mistake that made
you sheriff i'm gonna put right put that in your

book you ever hear the likes of that yeah well
you're right about one thing wearing this badge

is a mistake it is just temporary you sound
like a mayor it's been temporary for six months

you heard didn't you the sheriff wheeler was
seen down tombstone a while back yeah i heard

if he's not seen up here in grand forks mighty
soon grand forks is going to have to elect a new

permanent sheriff you know who that'll be i'm
no law man huh well that was a long time ago

i'm a rancher i have been a rancher for 26 years
got a homestead that needs brewing up on for a

loser and grand fork spreads a couple more miles
east that homestead is going to be in the town

limits now instead of being a struggling rancher
you're going to be a very wealthy land no sir

if you just took matt cobby's offer to buy you
out you could be a pretty rich temporary sheriff

right now i'll take nothing from that oily
mouth walloper before martha died he agreed

that land was going to be a working ranch and
that's what it's going to be not part of a town

something i can leave the girls

look at that

yeah because you don't have the brains god gave a
gopher will you stop yelling at me stop yelling at

you you're lucky i don't ram this boom handle up
your nose oh look what you did to my garden what's

going on here well i almost got trampled and she's
all worried about her stupid garden i could have

been killed you still could be miss high and
mighty light fingers will you two hush but

did you see what she did to my garden did you hear
what she just called me do you know how long it is

i did not come home to referee another one of
your squabbles i came home to eat my dinner

it isn't ready well it's 12 o'clock
noon well maybe milk the cow

well i needed milk for the biscuits there
wasn't anything yeah so feather head started

to milk the cow while it was nursing its
calves how was i supposed to know how was

i supposed to know ain't no way a body would
ever know you two wasn't really blood sisters

i want my dinner now forget the biscuits
cream chicken on biscuits without biscuits

cream chicken on biscuits without the biscuits

where is mei mei your sister

she's not here

all right let's have it

now she went into grand forks what for

well

see matt cobley matt cobley

but what will josh think i hate to say that but
young ladies of my day had better sense businesses

of course danish girls will raise with
a greater sense of propriety you told me

that before miss essay simple put you
should not be seen with him in public

after him romeo and you the way he did
and then to find out the real reason ah

hello man

we'll wait a few minutes to order mrs cargo

thanks for coming how could i refuse how
you look as lovely as ever don't push it man

it's taking everything i've got to keep from
scratching your eyes out i always did like a

lady with restrained fire did you really well
just think if josh had found his real daughters

i'd never met you how did you find out by
hiring the best private detectives in st

louis that money could buy owning josh's
land will be more than worth the cost

i'm sure it could be so is the expense of
the lawyer i've retained you've been busy

the lawyer too the homestead claims josh
filed under your and your sister's names

they're invalid adopted daughters but with or
without questionable reputations are ineligible

you've really been busy i've been trying to
sort you through out tell me now were you the

one josh got out of glenville prison
or the pickpocket which do you think

may i get you some more no
thank you i'm not thirsty

exposing your identities would cost josh's land

that would keep him from paying off his debts
here in grand forks proud man that he is he'd

probably kill himself trying yes he probably would
his place would be opened again for homesteading

and i'd be forced to use other means of acquiring
it now on the other hand we could keep our secret

i could pay him enough to clear up what he
owes plus a little to start over somewhere else

and you three could get back to saint louis i
mean this this really isn't a lie for you is it

you go along with me or not me he's going to lose
that land and it'll be up to you to decide whether

or not he'll have anything to show for the years
he's put into it hello josh you'll forgive me

if i don't stand i thought the cave family had
finished with you no i'm a very determined man

and persuasive how persuasive enough to
convince me we should reconsider his offer

i'll be in touch with you later now wait a
minute here josh this isn't the time of place

maybe you better start thinking about moving
to california out of these cold wyoming winters

that homestead will be taking
over my dead body and i'll take

a ringtail vial there'll be
another dead body before mine

that's what we figured out yeah that's what
we figured may come storm in a few minutes ago

i couldn't get a word out of her she wouldn't
even look at me where is she inside the house

there was aidan charity i could see they
needed space to talk so i just let them be

it's bad huh could be depends on how much
is rubbed off on them these past few months

well how much can all this really mean to them
anyway no matter how you look at it josh they're

just three city girls from st louis and all the
pretending in the world ain't gonna change that

my daughter there are three girls you got in st
louis when you couldn't find your real daughters

it isn't like we didn't expect to go back to st
louis eventually it's really just a matter of time

i guess when's been decided for it matt cobley
said either way you lose the homestead clay

sort of makes our staying here kind of senseless
well i guess i wasn't as smart as i thought i was

when i filed that claim selling this land
to him will at least give you something

yes and whatever it is you'd all have a share
of it no no it is yours and uncle bitter roots

well some things you just can't fight no my
homestead claim the government land office says

is no good like that them ready to call it quits
and go back to st louis well that's something else

you bet it is now you listen to me josh there's
no sense you keep your peace miss until i finished

you know this land means a lot to me for a lot of
reasons most of them you know about evidently you

don't know how much you all mean to me well if you
don't it's too bad i i just won't spell it out for

you thanks to matt cobley government land office
might decide i have no legal claim to this place

i just might lose it but i'm not going to lose you

you're staying right here in this valley
if possible but wherever with me and me

i'll just stay put until i get back where
are you going we're in blazes do you think

so

duncan what the w doing in my room
well wait just a minute i asked

your question where do you think you're
going what are you doing in my room huh

where's matt comey is he going out josh i've
got a matter i want to discuss with him he's

in his room or is he going out he's in
his room where is it it's number six

josh i know you have reason to be angry with

open up cobbly it's josh cave as he told
me you're in there i want to talk to you

we've got something to settle and we're
going to settle it once and for all

you murdered him no joshua cave you've known
him as long as you've lived in grand forks

he's lived in this valley longer than this
town has been here he's serving as your

sheriff during the present absence of ben
wheeler now is your judgment so bad that

you could have picked a a murderer to
protect yourselves and your families

i think not just as i think you will deny
the charge of premeditated murder i know

that your verdict will vindicate my
belief as it will vindicate your friends

fortunately for the sake of justice i don't share
your personal acquaintanceship with the accused

one of the advantages of being a circuit
judge new to the territory as such

i'm able to look at the evidence from an unclouded
point of view that evidence clearly points to

a definite threat of death made in the presence
of several townspeople present in this courtroom

it even includes the somewhat grudging testimony
of mrs cargo a close friend of the accused

who told of sheriff cabe's anger just prior to the
killing then there's the testimony of clel tonkins

who heard a cry and some scuffling coming from the
murder room located just next to his and finally

the testimony of the man who
saw the actual death struggle

gentlemen you have a duty despite your
personal feelings and strictly in light

of the testimony to return your verdict and i
remind you bias has no place in a court of law

that flag stands for he will be vindicated

gentleman of the jury have you reached a verdict

we have your honor how do you find we find
joshua cave guilty of murder in the first degree

prisoner will rise

you've been found guilty by a jury of your peers

murder is a foul deed it is even more foul
when committed by one sworn to uphold the law

your crime touches all of us so dedicated i hereby
send you to be taken to the territorial prison

there in 30 days time to be hanged
by the neck until you are dead

taking things like this you keep that bedroom

may honey this was martha's wedding
ring would you hold that oh josh

now the appeal to the governor for a new
trial is automatic sure is that'll postpone

the hanging indefinitely don't use that word
all right i won't you promise not to worry

but you're innocent i know and we'll prove it
somehow but that god-forsaken hellhole they

call the territorial prison that's no place for
a manual age josh what essie cargo what do you

mean a man of my age are you trying to add josh
be near dark before we get there as it is now

he is not going to hang thinking about dutton

a man josh sent to territorial prison last week

he swore he did josh you sure
won't get a better chance at it

hey

any word from that lawyer fellow picker
he got a letter from the territorial

government is there going to be a new trial
not without new evidence but there is hope

let me tell you what jim piguet said

will you listen to someone who's been there

once they get you behind bars they don't
want to let you go they're not gonna keep

josh behind bars for long he's gonna hang in
less than three weeks don't say that it's true

i just hold up there he ain't hanged yet and
there's something else come on tell him missy

jim pickett is going to try to get the
governor to commute the death sentence to life

we know in a week or so life in prison oh no
poor josh you call that something now wait a

minute listen to me can't you see that that if his
sentences what do you call that community commuted

it'll give us time to work for his release well
what if the governor refuses yeah he won't he

won't damn it he won't he can't he promised that's
a new trial if we got some new evidence what new

evidence is there i mean are you going to be able
to get the people who hurt josh threatened to heal

codley to say they didn't hear it or or that clel
tonkins to say he didn't hear what he heard from

from room at essie's or the drummer to say he
didn't see what he saw there is no new evidence

there will be

there has to be and there will be

there will be darling i swear josh ain't gonna
hang no he won't hang cause we're gonna break him

out of that prison oh charlie now you back
up that wagon there peter won't leave her

you heard what she said yes i heard what
she said and she knows that's impossible

she's going to wait for jim picken
to do what he can aren't your charity

and we are going to put our
trust in prayers to the lord

but trust and prayers to the lord is what essie
said charity there's just no way we could do it

will you listen to me i have been in and out of
more prisons than you two have even heard of and

i'm telling you we can do it and for putting
trust and prayers to the lord i agree but like

an old boxer friend of mine used to say in a
fight prayers help if you got a good right cross

okay

seven dollars ready make it ten i'm sorry
bitty seven dollars but i can buy it back

certainly yes you see i keep it for 90 days and
then i sell it for whatever i can get for it

so

to pick it up hmm tell me mate how are you folks

getting around oh not easily mr collier but we'll
make it of course you will love now let's see that

a few drops of this lad and a glass of water
will help you to sleep tonight shader it's

been almost impossible to sleep since papa

admirably i think you're truly remarkable

you're a source of great joy to josh
i know you are thank you dr reed

oh this ought to be enough flinny

how's it going almost finished you know

we got to figure out a way to get uncle
bitterroot out of here when the time comes

well why don't we just give him two or three
of these london cookies so sleep for hours

there'll be plenty left for josh to give the
prison guys you would have let me eat that

well you've been working hard enough
what do you good i oughta bring you

take it easy you'll make the cake for it oh is
that where you put the derringer in my little

little angel food cake honey good good which
loaf of bread did you put the all right hi uncle

bitterroad you look tired yeah how about how about
a cookie what a smell aroma smell just hear bread

ain't nothing else in the world smells like it

you make my kind heavy bread you know josh likes
light bread this here's real soft bread you can

just get it there in the gravy and soft it up like
you're supposed to without it coming apart in here

tarnishing

a file come back here you

what have you three been up
to what a thimble-headed idea

did you think you could get that
file past those guards in that bread

uncle better wrote don't you uncle bitter root me
why did it found out that i had you by the script

you forgot to take the bullets out

bullets out of what

boy he can sure hold a grudge it's only been a
week you guys let us out of a site for a minute

you know i'm telling you i'm getting sick and
tired of uh taking a bath with a rope tight

around my ankle and him outside the door holding
the other end hasn't been that bad it has almost

irish just on my way to see you well we come in
for supplies i have some news from one of my new

borders about what about josh no about the drummer
who said he saw josh and matt copley fighting

or body he has been arrested down in sweetwater
what for i don't know but it's worth looking into

after all one of the key witnesses
against josh has been arrested it sure is

i should be back from sweetwater about friday so
we're putting an awful lot of hope in a mighty

slim chance that drummers being arrested will
mean anything yeah well don't tell me this is

a waste of time the waste isn't only not
doing more yeah like what well like wait a

minute i don't want to hear i want your solemn
word that you won't set foot off this land

except for fire flood or tornado till i get back

do you understand

whatever you say uncle bitter

ate it on it's all in promise i'll go get a root

me what in the world could we do

don't forget we want your word bye uncle peter

i don't know about this i really don't
name me a better way to get inside the

territorial prison well so we get inside
what makes you think it'll do josh any good

experience honey but what if it
doesn't work what if we get killed

i've got a worse thought what
if we get away with it i know

you look all right you look fine come on

come

all right now you youngsters don't get itchy come
on up against the coach let me see all your hands

threw it in the box can't do that young feller

dad blame it i can't do that because i
care no box get some valuables come on

okay nice and slow hand over those valuables

ah it's a dead blamed walmart

well looks like you caught us um we
surrender yeah we give up females

come on let's get out of here

her mom

the first thing was to get inside the prison
isn't that what you said that's what i said

then we figure out a way to get josh out right
right and you tell me my idea won't work i won't

tell you that it might i won't tell you that it
might okay it might but if we try i'm gonna be

the one to do it oh no if we try i'll be the one
frankly you couldn't carry it off what do you mean

i couldn't carry it off well it's gonna take a
certain a-clad and you simply don't have a clat

are you insulting me oh now
sister would i insult you

twelve to the road gang twelve returned
well the royal gang well returned

you don't have a problem with these wretches
stealing any of your supplies in here

hardly miss hopewell tightly run ship a warden
as you will see fascinating truly fascinating

as you could call it that i suppose no i was
referring more to the reading my article will

hold for our newspaper subscribers that's a
rather strange profession for a young woman

feature writing well not if you're the only child
of a newspaper publisher who always wanted a son

you actually walk unarmed around the prisoners
i explain this hope well there are definite

deterrents to their making trouble that
man with the rifle there he's a crack

marksman anyone who comes within six feet
of us is in danger of being summarily shot

what are those

uh gatling guns automatic fire
to mow men down like wheat

you see miss hopewell insurrections
are planned let me show you something

the cage they never know when for how
long or which ones to be held there

but the first sign of trouble whoever is behind
those bars will be shot pretty difficult to plan

an uprising under those conditions wouldn't
you say yes i would also say that um it seems

an impossibility that any of these men could
ever escape from here i would say the same thing

an interesting point warden mannering would
you say that the gallows are a deterrent to

is hopeful it's a known fact the prisoners who
climbed those steps do not repeat their crimes

well

something that strikes me warden mannering is
the overriding feeling of hopelessness here

it's not by accident i assure you
ms hope well that was the intent of

the army when they used this place to
hold indian hostiles yet deep in the

breast of the most lost soul there must be
a glimmer of hope and that's as it should be

oh one of the many suppliers
of food for the prison

suppliers contracted by the territorial
prison authority they're all alike the

scurviest lot in the world my manifest
check it let me unload and get out of here

bureaucratic systems i guarantee you what's
written here is not what's been paid for

there's a story for you put it
over there by the kitchen yeah

this piece of paper is their license to steal

no inspectors no guarantee what the
quality is no telling what the kickback is

you know i came for a story on the territorial
prison but i'm beginning to wonder if it shouldn't

be on yourself you're such an interesting man
warden mannering i mean oh miss hopewell what's

the matter i seem to have gotten something
in my eye ah well here let me help you

tilt your head back that's why i look up there

oh you've gotten it well i couldn't find anything
oh yes but you've gotten it thank you it's fine

well mannering if my editor agrees um may i
assume that it would be all right for me to

return for another visit with you i know the
power of the press ms hope will well i uh had

no intention of staying here indefinitely
i do have plans beyond my present station

well well well um yes by all means dear
lady come back any time you choose josh cape

yeah i'm supposed to tell you your appeal's
been denied you hang on schedule in six days

i hear right old man they're
actually gonna hang you

well then they just fix it
so i don't have to kill you

at least he knows we're here and we're gonna
do something not something what i worked out

i don't know it's awful risky
well so is josh's hanging

anyway have either of you got
a better idea i sure haven't

look a little doctrine of that manifest a
trip to that farm we passed on the way back

and we're on our way to getting josh out on
our way with an awful long way to go it'll work

wow

i've seen prison locked before but
that there's a phyllis stuff i ever see

where do you people come from well my
daddy come from back missouri way and

with my mom she come from thank
you very much the manifest woman

give me the manifest i swear one of these days one
of you people are gonna bring a plague into this

place well it looks to me like the plague might be
just the thing to bring it to where it's livable

what are you gaping at it's that long since
you've seen a woman what's written here has

been changed what like you didn't know well it
wasn't done by me i can't cipher all i know is

is that my daddy told me to deliver you six crazy
chickens talk chickens every crate that's just

what i've done if you don't believe me you can
ride around there and count them for yourself

how many were contracted for how many were what
oh what difference does it make everybody has to

make his somewhere down the line i suppose unload
them over there yeah well i'm gonna need some help

you you you give her a hand hold on there now
just a minute that's just what they give me a hand

i asked for help i don't know how
long they've been in here but they

ain't refreshing their memory slips
sliding up next to me no thank you

now you just pay attention to me i'll take
him and a few of them other sunset types

all right you three get to
it get these crates unloaded

though or it might have been the sight of
those two little lovelies we had out there

a little lovely what do you thought well just
before we quit wagon ran off with two of the

looks of this young girls i've seen a long time
and one of them twisted her ankle an old doc

pierce here was asked to have a look at it and

wagon and went home i need funny peters

guard ma'am i'm ready to leave
now you can open the gate

that certainly was a long day but a fruitful one

uh the gate please open it

warden manon is such a fascinating man don't
you think my story is going to make hope well

we're mannering

it's so good to see you again

your willingness to let me do a story on you has
boosted my stock on the paper at least a hundred

points when the territorial governor heard of
the idea and reacted so favorably well you can

imagine my editor's attitude toward me territorial
governor oh yes he and my editor would function in

cheyenne i must say it was a pleasant surprise
to find your name so regarded so high up really

don't you agree indeed i do oh i'm glad to
me you're speaking out on those issues more

correctly show your depth of character and your
integrity than any words of mine i couldn't think

of a better way to dramatize evil what you think
i'd turn the cage let's go oh wait on your feet

where's josh i sat on your
feet i want to see the warden

shut your mouth and do what you're told that's
one of his daughters warden josh cade's escape

guard bring that prisoner here did i
hear someone say josh cabers escaped

i will find him you understand i assure you
of that believe me they won't he's a long way

from here by now well you're going to stay here
until they do i am my dear young lady aiding and

abetting the escape of a prisoner is a felony
now hold on there she's going to stand trial

you're absolutely right warden uncle bitter root
and i'll see to it myself she does this here bad

says she's my prisoner you two can't make a fool
of me that's all you're concerned about seems

to me the way you ought to look at is that you
don't have to hang an innocent man it's terrible

to think you would have hanged josh knowing he
didn't murder that man the court said he did

kill him the judge said to hang him well uncle
bitter would almost kill this horse and himself

to get here to tell you that the real murderer
confessed my orders were to hang him on the 27th

that's tomorrow now unless the governor changes
those orders when my men bring him back he'll

and to hang i was going to write
an important article on you

good afternoon mr collins any news from josh
not a word uh that's strange after better in a

week of his escaping i hear tell that warden
manor and fella is still looking for him no

well old josh will turn up when a time comes

root oh gosh ah sure is dragging on and off a
long time isn't it you mean dragging on josh

what you think he'd have got in touch with
somebody by now wouldn't you yeah you'd

have thought that right enough yeah well
i suppose all we can do is wait and hope

here's

you ain't gonna hide no more josh josh

pardon in the mail has answered your ten days

of skulkin in that room so folks won't
know you're in town is over you know

not even one of them let off nobody even told us

they're your friends josh sheriff my foot if
they had an election today you could be mayor

girl can do in country like this for pity sakes

than joshua cave's daughters it's in the blood

they could plow the rocky mountains
charm an eagle off of her nest

they could damn the colorado and still have
half a day to rest smart as a den of foxes...
