PULL UP!

THROW DOWN THAT REGISTERED MAIL
POUCH.

ON YOUR WAY.

DON,A6T ASK FOR TROUBLE. HE,A6LL
GIVE IT TO YOU.

HERE IT COMES.

WE WANT THAT REGISTERED MAIL
POUCH.

YOU,A6RE TOO LATE.

A LONE HANDER BEAT YOU TO IT

ABOUT 5 MILES BACK.

SEARCH IT.

THERE AIN,A6T NO MAIL POUCH IN HERE.

ALL RIGHT, ON YOUR WAY.

PULL UP!

YOU,A6RE REPEATING YOURSELF,
MISTER.

L,A6M RETURNING YOUR MAIL POUCH.

RETURNING IT?

WHAT YOU STEAL IT FOR IN THE FIRST
PLACE?

TO KEEP THOSE FELLAS DOWN THE
ROAD FROM GETTING IT.

YOU,A6LL NOTICE THE SEAL lSN,A6T
BROKEN.

JUST WHO ARE YOU, MISTER?

SOME PEOPLE CALL ME THE WHIRLWIND.

HYAH!

JUST WHO IS THE WHIRLWIND?

NO ONE KNOWS.

SOME PEOPLE THINK HE,A6S A BANDIT.

AND TBERE ARE OTHERS WHO THINK
HE,A6S A GOVERNMENT AGENT.

IN MY OPINION, AFTER WHAT I,A6VE
JUST SEEN,

I,A6D SAY HE GETS HIS NAME
"WHIRLWIND"

BECAUSE HE COMES AND GOES

LIKE THE LITTLE DUST DEVILS OUT IN
THE DESERT.

MISTER, YOU MAKE TALKIN,A6

SOUND LIKE PURTY MUSIC.

YOU MUST BE A POET.

WELL, MY NAME,A6S STAN JONES.

[TAPPING IN MORSE CODE]

HEY, COWBOY...

THAT WATER,A6S FOR FOLKS.

Woman: THIS HORSE IS FOLKS.

IN THIS TOWN, MISTER,

OUR HORSES DRINK WITH THE BEST
PEOPLE.

YOU HEAR THAT, CHAMP?

YOU,A6RE GONNA LIKE THIS TOWN.

[NEIGHING]

SINCE I,A6M A STRANGER AROUND
HERE,

WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO
OUR HORSES ARE?

THE LASSITTER HORSES,

AND WE DON,A6T LIKE STRANGERS IN
RED VALLEY.

THIS MAN ANNOYING YOU, ELAINE?

HE OBJECTS TO MY HORSE USING THE
DRINKING TUB.

OH? [CHUCKLES]

IN RED VALLEY COUNTY,

THE LASSITTERS DO AS THEY PLEASE.

SINCE YOU DON,A6T SEEM TO LIKE
THAT,

I,A6D SUGGEST THAT YOU JUST KEEP
RIGHT ON RIDING.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I,A6M ASKED TO
LEAVE A TOWN

I LIKE TO KNOW WHO,A6S ASKIN'.

L,A6M WADE TRIMBLE,

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY FOR RED
VALLEY COUNTY.

NOW, I,A6M NOT ASKING YOU TO LEAVE--

I,A6M TELLING YOU TO, NOW!

TEACH HIM A LESSON, WADE.

GET UP AND FIGHT.

WHOA! WHOA!

HEY, LOOK, RING EYE,

THERE,A6S MY FRIEND AUTRY

HAVING HIMSELF A GOOD FIGHT.

I BETTER GET IN IT, DON,A6T YOU
THINK?

HIT HIM AGAIN, WADE!

OOH! OUCH!

WHAT ROUND IS THIS, SHORTY?

OH, SHUT UP, FAT BOY.

YOU,A6RE APT TO GET YOUR
DOUBLE-CHIN KNOCKED OFF.

[PUNCHES LANDING]

I DON,A6T THINK HE'S GONNA NEED ME
AFTER ALL.

LOOKS LIKE WADE

CAN,A6T GET HIM WHIPPED.

MAYBE NEEDS A LITTLE MORAL
SUPPORT.

HIT HIM, GENE.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW? A .44 ON A.
45 FRAME.

GOT NO USE FOR ,A6EM MYSELF.

WHY--

WELL, HOW DO__YOU DO? SMILEY
BURNETTE,A6S MY NAME.

[MEN LAUGHING]

[LOUD LAUGHTER]

YOU MIGHT TRY IT ABOUT THERE.

AH, CUT THIS OUT OR I,A6LL THROW
YOU ALL IN THE JAIL!

CUT IT OUT!

IF YOU,A6RE NOT OUTTA TOWN BY
SUNDOWN,

I,A6LL SHOOT YA ON SIGHT.

IF WADE DON,A6T, I WILL!

AND THAT GOES FOR THE FAT MAN
WITH THE FUNNY FACE, TOO.

L,A6LL TAKE CARE OF THIS, LON.

YOU COME WITH ME. COME ON.

GET GOIN,A6. YOU, TOO. COME ON.

GET GOIN,A6.

WE,A6VE GOT ENOUGH SCRAP-HAPPY
COW PUNCHERS AROUND HERE

WITHOUT SOM__E STRANGERS COMING IN
AND TRYIN,A6 TO WHIP THE TOWN.

NOW...WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU
WANT IN RED VALLEY?

YOU.

MY NAME,A6S AUTRY. I WANT TO BUY A
RANCH.

YOU,A6LL CHANGE YOUR MIND. WHAT
ABOUT YOU?

[FROG VOICE] WHO, ME?

[NORMAL VOICE] I--I MEAN, WHO, ME?
YES, YOU.

WELL, MY NAME IS SMILEY BURNETTE,
SHERIFF.

DR. SMILEY BURNETTE.

M.D., P.D.Q., A.W.O.L.

SPECIALIZIN,A6 IN ACHES, PAINS, AND
MISERIES OF CRITTERS

LARGE AND SMALL.

WHAT ABOUT HUMANS?

WELL, I CAN TREAT ,A6EM IF THEY CAN
STAND IT.

SHERIFF, I MUST TELL YA SOMETHING.

I WAS UP IN THE PANAMINT ONE TIME,
AND A FELLER COMES UP TO ME,

AND HE,A6S GOT THE WHOOPIN' COUGH
AND THE HORSE HAS GOT THE HEAVES.

WELL, THE__Y,A6RE HEAVIN' AND A-WHOOPIN,A6
AND \NHOOPIN' AND A-HEAVIN,A6...

I MISCALCULATED WHO WAS DOIN,A_g3 THE
WHOOPIN' AND WHO WAS DOIN,A6 THE HEAVIN',

AND I GIVE THE FELLA THE HEAVIN,A6
MEDICINE

AND I GIVE THE WHOOPIN,A6 MEDICINE
TO THE HORSE!

DID THEY BOTH DIE?

NO. THAT FELLER GROWED THE PRETTIEST
MANE AND TAIL YOU EVER SAW,

AND THAT HORSE WAS CUSSIN,A6 OUT
THE FLIES.

AW!

I HAD YA SWALLOWII}j,A6 THAT ONE FOR
A MINUTE, DIDN,A6T I, SHERIFF?

YOU WON,A6T LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO
GET OUTTA TOWN.

I WOULDN,A6T LET YOU DOCTOR A
DUCK THAT BELONGED TO ME.

I DON,A6T DOCTOR DUCKS. FEATHERS
GET IN MY WAY

WHEN I,A6M TRYIN' TO DOG-NOSE THE
CASE.

NOW WAIT A MINUTE, WAIT A MINUTE!
HOLD ON!

GET OUTTA HERE, WILL YA, BEFORE I
LOSE MY TEMPER.

GO ON, GET OUTTA TOWN!

NOW, WAIT A MINUTE, SHERIFF.

THAT,A6S ALL I'VE HEARD SINCE I GOT
HERE-- GET OUT OF TOWN.

YOU MIND TELLIN,A6 US WHY?

US? ARE YOU TWO TOGETHER?

WHY, NO.

BUT THE WAY YOU TREAT STRANGERS
AROUND HERE,

IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA FOR US TO
STICK TOGETHER.

SAY, WHAT SIZE SOCKS DO YOU WEAR,
MISTER?

11.

I DO, TOO!

AND I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH SOCKS!

WAIT A MINUTE! CUT THAT OUT, WILL
YA?

IF HE WAS GQNNA BE AROUND HERE
MUCH, HE,A6D DRIVE ME CRAZY.

L,A6LL TALK TO YOU, BECAUSE __
YOU,A6VE GOT AN ANSWER COMIN,A6.

WE KEEP PEOPLE LIKE YOU ON THE
MOVE

BECAUSE WE DON,A6T WANT
STRANGERS AROUND HERE.

THIS IS A PEACEFUL COMMUNITY, AND
WE AIM TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

THE REST OF THE TERRITORY IS
OVERRUN WITH OUTLAWS,

BUT THEY,A6RE AFRAID OF RED VALLEY.

YOU DON,A6T HEAR OF ANY BANK
ROBBERIES OR STAGE HOLD-UPS HERE.

THAT,A6S THE MAIN REASON I DECIDED
TO SETTLE HERE.

WELL, OF COURSE THERE,A6S NO LAW
THAT SAYS YOU CAN,A6T STAY HERE.

HOW WILL THE LASSITTERS LIKE IT?

THEY WON,A6T, BUT THAT,A6S YOUR
FUNERAL.

AND IT COULD BE JUST THAT.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL KNOW BEFORE GOING ANY
FURTHER THAT I,A6M A LASSITTER MAN.

SO,A6S TRIMBLE THE PROSECUTOR,
AND THE CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE.

WHEN YOU,A6RE B_UCKIN' BIG JIM
LASSITTER, YOU,A6RE BUCKIN' TROUBLE.

SAY, THERE MUST BE A LOT OF THAT
6-SHOOTER SICKNESS AROUND HERE.

NOW, LISTEN HERE, YOU--

I GOT A SHERIFF HERE!

WAIT A MINUTE! CUT THAT OUT, WILL
YA?

LT,A6S IMPOLITE TO POINT. OH!

WHY IS LASSITTER SO UPPITY?

YOU MUST BE A STRANGER AROUND
HERE.

BIG JIM LASSITTER TRAIL HERDED IN
HERE AS A KID

WITH HIS FATHER AND BROTHER.

THEY RAN OFF INDIANS, AND THEY RAN
OFF HOMESTEADERS.

NOW HE OWNS THE BIGGEST SPREAD
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI,

AND HE AIMS TO KEEP IT.

YOU BETTER MOVE ON, AUTRY.

YOU MAY BE RIGHT, IF HE,A6S ANY
TOUGHER THAN HIS DAUGHTER.

OH, YOU MEAN LAINE. THAT,A6S HIS
NIECE.

HER FATHER,A6S DEAD. MURDERED.

BIG JIM HAS OFFERED A REWARD OF $10,
000

FOR THE MAN THAT KILLED HIS
BROTHER.

THINK I,A6LL STICK AROUND AND HAVE
A LOOK AT THIS BIG JIM.

HOW ,A6BOUT YOU, SMILEY?

LONG AS YOUR SOCKS HOLD OUT.

Sheriff: WELL, ALL RIGHT.

BUT DON,A6T SAY I DIDN,A6T WARN YA.

WHEN YOU,A6RE_DRIFTED UNDER WI_TH
TROUBLE, DON,A6T COME RUNNIN,A6 TO ME.

REMEMBER, I,A6M A LASSITTER MAN.

WE,A6LL TRY NOT TO CAUSE YOU ANY
TROUBLE, SHERIFF.

NOW LOOK WHAT YOU,A6VE DONE!

YOU BUSTED MY TELEPHONE!

YOU MULLET HEAD!

YOU FAT TUB OF LARD!

YOU,A6LL PAY FOR THIS! YOU BETTER
GET OUT OF TOWN!

DAVE! OH, DAVE!

WHAT DO YOU WANT, SHERIFF?

L,A6M GOIN' OVER TO LASSITTER,A6S.

TAKE CARE OF THE OFFICE.

[KNOCKING]

Big Jim: YES, COME IN. COME IN.

HELLO, EVERYBODY.

HELLO, SHERIFF.

OH, HELLO, BARLOW.

I SUPPOSE YOU,A6RE HERE ABOUT
THAT SADDLE TRAMP AUTRY, TOO.

YES, I AM, JIM, BUT HE,A6S NO COMMON
SADDLE TRAMP.

I TRIED TO TELL BIG JIM THAT.

AND HE FIGHTS LIKE A WHOLE NEST OF
WILDCATS.

WADE AND I HAVE GIVEN HIM TO
SUNDOWN TO QUIT TOWN.

THAT WAS A MISTAKE.

HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL
YOU MEN...

NEVER THREATEN. DO!

IF YOU,A6RE GOII§I_G TO SHOOT A MAN, SHOOT HIM.
DON,A6T TELL HIM ABOUT IT.

THAT MAKES YOU LOSE FACE.

I DON,A6T LIKE THAT IN PEOPLE I,A6M
ASSOCIATED WITH.

WHY WILL THEY LOSE FACE, UNCLE JIM?

BECAUSE I,A6M NOT GONNA LET THEM
SHOOT AUTRY...YET.

NOW YOU RUN ON ABOUT YOUR
AFFAIRS.

THIS IS NO BUSINESS FOR A GIRL.

OH, UNCLE JIM, I--

DO AS I TELL YOU.

YOU CAN SNUB LON KRAMER AND YOU CAN
MAKE A MONKEY OUT OF WADE TRIMBLE,

BUT YOU,A6LL DO AS I SAY.

GO NOW, LAINE!

Kramer: _\NHAT,A6S THE IDEA OF
PULLIN,A6 US OFF THIS AUTRY?

OH, HE,A6LL BE GONE BY SUNDOWN.

I DON,A6T THINK HE WILL.

HE,A6S NOT THE KIND THAT SCARES
EASY.

YEAH, I THINK YOU,A6RE RIGHT,
SHERIFF.

THERE,A6S SOME REASON AUTRY
WANTS TO STAY HERE IN RED VALLEY,

AND I,A6M GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT
THAT REASON IS...

MYSELF.

SMILEY!

GENE, HOW MANY OF YOU IS THERE
ANY\NAY?

IF YOU,A6LL STAND STILL, I,A6LL GO
AROUND YOU.

MAYBE I BETTER WHISTLE SO YOU
KNOW WHERE I AM.

[DOG WHIMPE__RS] Man: GET OUTTA MY
WAY, OR I,A6LL KICK YOU, TOO.

[\NHIMPERING]

Boy: AW, GEE, YOU BROKE HIS LEG!

WHAT,A6S THE MATTER, SONNY?

BILL TRASK KICKED MY DOG.

WHICH ONE OF YOU IS TRASK?

I AM.

DID YOU KICK THIS BOY,A6S DOG?

SURE, I DID.

HIS MUTT GOT IN MY WAY.

HOW,A6D YA KICK HIM, LIKE THIS?

OR LIKE THIS?

[LOUD LAUGHTER]

NOW WHAT,A6S GOING ON HERE?

THAT,A6S MY RANGE BOSS.

THEN YOU,A6VE GOT A YELLOW BULLY
FOR A RANGE BOSS.

WHO ARE YOU?

L,A6M JIM LASSITTER.

L,A6LL GET TO YOU LATER.

SMILEY, TAKE CARE OF THE KID,A6S
DOG.

IF THE LASSITTER OUTFIT WON,A6T PAY
FOR IT, I WILL.

NOW, LISTEN, YOU--

NOW YOU LISTEN.

YOU MAY RUN THE BIGGEST COW
OUTFIT WEST OF THE MOON,

BUT YOUR__BULLIES ARE NOT GONNA KICK A KID,A6S
ll_)_OG AROUND AS LONG AS I,A6M HERE.

AND I PLAN TO BE HERE QUITE A SPELL.

WE,A6LL TAKE HIM.

NOTHING OF THE KIND, LON.

IF TRASK ABUSED THE KID,A6S DOG,
TRASK IS WRONG.

LAINE, SEE THAT THE DOG,A6S TAKEN
CARE OF.

Big Jim: I,A6M SORRY ABOUT THIS.

THAT,A6S NO WAY TO BEHAVE IN
FRONT OF A STRANGER.

L,A6D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW YOU
BETTER.

THEN YOU,A6D BETTER GET TO KNOW
ME BEFORE SUNDOWN.

I UNDERSTAND THAT,A6S MY CURFEW
IN RED VALLEY.

[CHUCKLES] THE BOYS TOLD ME ABOUT
THAT. FORGET IT.

THAT WAS HOT TEMPER TALKING.

COME ON OVER TO BARLOW,A6S OFFICE
WHERE WE CAN TALK.

MIND IF WE USE YOUR OFFICE, SHERIFF?

GO RIGHT AHEAD.

HERE WE ARE.

SEEMS TO BE THE CUSTOM IN THIS
TOWN TO GET INTO A FIGHT

AND THEN COME TO THE SHERIFF,A6S
OFFICE AND TALK.

[CHUCKLES] SOMETIMES THEY DON,A6T
GET AS FAR

AS THE SHERIFF,A6S OFFICE. CIGAR?

NO, THANKS.

BARLOW TELLS ME YOU,A6RE FIGURING
ON RUNNIN,A6 STOCK HERE.

NATURALLY, I,A6M INTERESTED IN ANY
COMPETITION.

I UNDERSTAND YOU DON,A6T WANT ANY
COMPETITION.

I DON,A6T WANT JUST ANY SADDLE
TRAMP

RIDIN,A6 IN HERE WITH A LONG ROPE

AND BUILDING UP A HERD WITH MY
CALVES.

HOW BIG AN OUTFIT ARE YOU FIGURING
ON?

OH, ABOUT $50,000 TO START WITH.

HAVE YOU GOT $50,000?

NOT IN THESE PANTS.

BUT YOU CAN CHECK WITH THE
STOCKMEN,A6S BANK IN DENVER.

THEY,A6LL G_I_VE YOU ANY INFORMATION
YOU,A6RE ENTITLED TO.

YOU CAN,A6T DO BUSINESS HERE IN
RED VALLEY

WITH MONEY IN A DENVER BANK.

NOBODY HERE__ KNOWS YOU FROM
ADAM,A6S OFF OX.

THE MONEY,A6LL BE HERE WHEN I NEED
IT, MR. LASSITTER.

UNLESS ONE OF YOUR GUNMEN PUTS
ME OUT OF BUSINESS.

MY BOYS ARE A LITTLE TOUCHY.

YOU,A6VE MADE YOURSELF SOME
ENEMIES.

BUT IF YQU STILL THINK RED
VALLEY,A6S YOUR COUNTRY,

THAT SHOULDN,A6T BOTHER YA.

I STILL THINK lT,A6S MY COUNTRY.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

WELL, HE,A6S A NICE FELLA, THIS OLD
BOY.

HOW,A6S THE PUP?

OH, HE,A6S SWELL, AIN,A6T HE, SMILEY?

SON, WHEN I TOOK MY HYPOCRITICAL
OATH

TO GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO POOR
AND HELPLESS CRITTERS,

IT WAS A MIGHTY LUCKY DAY FOR THIS
POOCH.

THERE, JOHNNIE, IS A DOG

PRACTICALLY AS GOOD AS NEW.

SEE THAT HE DOESN,A6T STUB HIS TOE.

GEE, THANKS, SMILEY.

HOW MUCH WILL THAT BE?

WELL, THERE,A6LL BE NO CHARGE,
MISS.

THAT ONE,A6S ON THE HOUSE.

I FIQURE THE ADVERTISING JOHNNIE,A6S GONNA
GIVE ME IS WORTH MORE THAN THE FEE.

WE LASSITTERS LIKE TO PAY OUR WAY.

I DID MAKE A CRACK ABOUT THAT.

BUT AS YOUR UNCLE SAYS, THAT WAS
TEMPER TALKING.

WELL, THANKS A LOT. I,A6M SORRY
TRASK KICKED THE DOG,

AND I HOPE YOU DON,A6T HAVE ANY
MORE TROUBLE

WITH THE BOYS.

WE,A6LL TRY TO GET ALONG.

MY UNCLE,A6LL PROBABLY HAVE SOME
STOCK WORK FOR YOU, SMILEY.

FINE. I CAN USE THE BUSINESS.

OH!

_ F H O

IF I HAD A GUN--

THE BOYS WOULDN,A6T EVEN HAVE TO
BOTHER WITH YOU!

L,A6D SHOOT YOU MYSELF!

I DON,A6T KNOW HOW FAR CHINA IS
FROM HERE, MISTER,

BUT IF I WAS YOU, I,A6D GO THERE!

HOW DID SHE COME UP WITH A HAT
FULL OF WATER?

DARNED IF I KNOW. LOOKED LIKE SHE
BLAMED ME FOR IT, TOO.

NO DOUBT OF IT. WOW!

IF THAT LASSITTER OUTFIT WASN,A6T
LOOKIN' FOR YOUR SCALP BEFORE,

THEY SURE WILL BE NOW.

HE,A6S CURIOUS ABOUT A LITTLE
MATTER OF $50,000

I,A6M SUPPOSED TO HAVE IN A DENVER
BANK.

SAY, WHEN YOU DREAIV_I_ MONEY, YOU
DREAM BIG, DON,A6T YA?

LASSITTER THINKS BIG. I,A6D BETTER
RIDE OUT

AND TELEGRAPH WASHINGTON TO
COVER ME IN CASE HE CHECKS.

WHAT DO WE WANT LASSITTER FOR?

THE INSPECTOR DIDN,A6T TELL ME
NOTHIN'.

JUST SAID TO REPORT UP HERE TO YOU.

ROBBING OF THE UNITED STATES MAILS

AND OPERATIN,A6 ONE OF THE SMOOTHEST
OUTLAW SYNDICATES IN THE COUNTRY.

SO HE,A6S NOT A BIG RANCHER, HUH?

ONE OF THE BIGGEST. THAT,A6S HIS
FRONT.

HIS OUTLAW ACTMTIES EXTEND INTO 3
TERRITORIES.

BUT YOl._I_ NEVER HEAR OF ANY
OUTLAWIN,A6 AROUND RED VALLEY.

WELL, THAT,_A6S WHERE
LASSITTER,A6S SMART.

THAT,A6S THE BEST WAY IN THE
WORLD TO AVOID SUSPICION.

WASHINGTON,A6S HAD ITS EYE ON HIM
FOR QUITE SOME TIME

BECAUSE HE,A6S TIED UP WITH SO
MANY CROOKED POLITICIANS.

BUT SO FAR WE HAVEN,A6T BEEN ABLE
TO GET ENOUGH EVIDENCE ON HIM

TO CONVICT HIM.

SO THAT,A6S OUR JOB.

THAT,A6S OUR JOB.

SOMETIMES I WISH I,A6D JUST STAYED A
HORSE DOCTOR.

HOW,A6D YOU EVER GET IN THE
POSTAL SERVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE?

WELL, I GOT MY VET,A6S DEGREE BY
MAIL,

AND I FIGURED ANYBODY DUMB
ENOUGH TO GIVE ME A DIPLOMA

WOULD BEAR INVESTIGATION.

SO I TURNED ,A6EM IN FOR
DEFRAUDING THE MAIL.

DON,A6T YOU KNOW lT,A6S AGAINST
THE LAW

TO GIVE A FEDERAL OFFICER WRONG
INFORMATION?

HOW,A6S ABOUT YOU GIVE OUT WITH
SOME RELIABLE INFORMATION?

AND WHAT ARE WE FIXIN,A6 TO DO
NOW?

L,A6VE GOTTA RIDE OUT, TAP THAT
WIRE,

AND SEND THAT MESSAGE TO
WASHINGTON.

LOOK AROUND TOWN AND SEE WHAT
YOU CAN FIND OUT.

THE FOOD IS HORRIBLE HERE.

YOU COULD MISS A FEW MEALS ANY\NAY.

[GUNSHOT]

[CLICK]

LOOKS LIKE WE LOST HIM, CHAMP.

[SNORT, SNORT]

WHAT ARE WE STOPPING HERE FOR?

LT,A6S SO NICE OUT HERE, I THOUGHT
WE MIGHT JUST STOP AND SET A WHILE.

I REALLY SHOULDN,A6T, LON.

I HAVE A LOT TO DO AT THE RANCH.

OH, COME ON, LAINE.

SEEMS LIKE I NEVER GET A CHANCE TO
BE ALONE WITH YOU ANYMORE.

ALL RIGHT.

L,A6LL JUST TIE 'EM UP.

BE SURE YOU TIE COMET TIGHT.

HE SURE LOVES TO RUN AWAY.

[NEIGH]

HEY, STOP IT!

WHOA, COMET!

OH, LON!

OH, YOU STUPID IDIOT!

YOU KNOW THAT HORSE IS RINGY!

NOW I,A6LL HAVE TO WALK TO THE
RANCH.

FORGET ABOUT THE HORSE.

L,A6VE GOT OTHER THINGS I WANT TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT.

NOT WITH ME, YOU HAVEN,A6T.

YOU RAN THAT HORSE OFF ON
PURPOSE.

WELL, WHAT IF I DID? I WANNA TALK TO
YA.

GEE, EVERY TIME I TRY TO GET YOU
ALONE,

YOU PASS ME_UP LIKE A PAY TRAIN
PASSIN,A6 UP A TRAMP.

IF YOU WEREN,A6T A FRIEND OF UNCLE
JIM,A6S,

I WOULDN,A6T EVEN BE SEEN IN THE
SAME COUNTY WITH YOU.

L,A6L_!. TELL HIM ABOUT THIS, AND
HE,A6LL TAKE A QUIRT TO YOU.

OH, YOU WILL, HUH?

IF I,A6M GONNA GET A QUIRTIN,A6
ANYWAY, I GOT NOTHIN,A6 TO LOSE!

KRAMER!

HOLD IT.

NOW GET ON YOUR HORSE AND GET
OUTTA HERE.

I BROUGHT THIS GIRL HERE, AND I,A6M--

AND YOU,A6RE GOING TO I=EAVE HER
HERE. GET MOVIN,A6.

BETTER DO WHAT HE SAYS, LON.

GIMME MY GUN.

L,A6LL DELIVER IT TO YOU AT YOUR
SALOON.

GET GOIN,A6.

WHERE DID YOU COME FROM?

BUSINESS BROUGHT ME OUT HERE.

I INTENDED TO RIDE ON BY,

BUT YOUR BOYFRIEND SEEMED A
LITTLE TOO ROMANTIC.

ROMANTIC? WHEN I WANNA BE MAULED,
I,A6LL PICK THE MAN.

THANKS FOR RUNNIN,A6 HIM OFF.

WAIT A MINUTE!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHERE YA GOING?

THAT DOPE KRAMER RAN MY HORSE
OFF.

NOW I,A6VE GOTTA WALK BACK TO THE
RANCH.

WHY, THERE,A6S NO NEED OF THAT.

[\NHISTLES]

CHAMP WILL BE GLAD TO CARRY A
DOUBLE.

[SNORT]

NOW LET ME STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT.

I DON,A6T LIKE YOU, AND I DON,A6T
LIKE YOUR HORSE--

OH, LEAV_E THE HORSE OUT OF IT.
HE,A6S A NICE HORSE.

BUT I,A6LL GET BACK TO TOWN ON MY
OWN 2 LITTLE FEET!

NOW BE REASONABLE.

REASONABLE? IF I HAD TO RIDE WITH
YOU,

I,A6D PROBABLY GET A MAULING LIKE
THAT GUY KRAMER TRIED TO GIVE ME.

OH, NO, YOU WOULDN,A6T.

I DON,A6T MAUL GIRLS I,A6M NOT
INTERESTED IN.

OH!

OH, YOU..

AUTRY, YOU..

UH-HUH.

WADE, I WANT YOU TO WRITE TO

HE CLAIMS TO HAVE $50,000

IN THE STOCKMEN,A6S BANK.

$50,000?

THAT,A6S WHAT HE SAID, AND HE
TALKED LIKE HE MEANT IT.

WE OUGHTA DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THAT.

MAYBE WE WILL.

BUT AFTER THE WAY HE,A6S PUSHED

A HORSE KICKED HIM. I GOTTA GET HIM

...THEN AS I WAS UNFOLDIN,A6 THE
BOND, WHOO!

THE LIGHTS WENT OUT.

WHERE WAS TRASK?

LETTIN,A6 TH_E CALVES OUT. IT
WASN,A6T TRASK.

ARE YOU SURE IT WAS A POST OFFICE
BOND?

YEAH. I CAN READ.

PROBABLY WAS, ALL RIGHT.

$100,000 WORTH OF ,A6EM WERE TAKEN
IN THAT SANTA RITA BANK HOLDUP.

BIG JIM MUST HAVE DECIDED THEY
WERE TOO HOT TO HANDLE.

WELL, A BRANDIN,A6 FIRE'S A MIGHTY
PECULIAR PLACE TO BE BURNIN,A6 BONDS.

AS GOOD A PLACE AS AN_Y IF YOU
WANNA GET RID OF ,A6EM.

HO!

SMILEY, I,A6M GOIN__G BACK TO
LASSITTER,A6S.

IF YOU SEE A FELLER WITH A BENT GUN
BARREL,

HE,A6S THE ONE THAT SLUGGED ME.

HELLO, LAINE.

HELLO, WADE.

OH...

WAITING FOR YOUR MUSIC TEACHER, I
SEE.

YOU DON,A6T LIKE GENE, DO YOU?

SHOULD I? SHOULD I LIKE ANY MAN

WHQ,A6S MOVING IN ON THE GIRL THAT
I,A6M PRACTICALLY ENGAGED TO?

SHOULD I LIKE TO WATCH THAT GIRL
MAKE A FOOL--

TAKE II EASY, VVAIQE. IF GENE
AUTRY,A6S MOVIN,A6 IN ON ME

lT,A6S BECAUSE I WANT HIM TO.

MAYBE lT,A6S TIME YOU UNDERSTOOD
THAT.

L,A6M SUR__E IT IS. NOW, IF YOU DON,A6T
MIND, I,A6LL GO SEE YOUR UNCLE.

I DON,A6T MIND.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

YES?

OH, lT,A6S YOU, TRIMBLE.

HELLO, JIM.

WELL, I GOT THAT CHECK ON AUTRY
FROM DENVER.

YEAH? WHAT,A6D COLLINS SAY?

AUTRY,A6S G__OT THE MONEY IN THE
STOCKMEN,A6S BANK, ALL RIGHT,

BUT lT,A6S A VERY FUNNY THING...

THAT MONEY WASN,A6T DEPOSITED

UNTIL 2 DAYS AFTER HE TALKED WITH
YOU.

WHO MADE THE DEPOSIT?

AN AUDITOR FROM THE DENVER POST
OFFICE.

WELL, IT MIGHT NOT MEAN A THING.

IF AUTRY IS TRANSFERRING A SUM LIKE
THAT BY MAIL,

THE POST OFFICE WOULD USE EVERY
PRECAUTION.

NO, IT MIGHT NOT MEAN A THING.

JIM...

YES, WHAT IS IT? WHAT IS IT?

WHEN YOU GONNA TAKE THE WRAPS
OFF OF AUTRY SO I CAN GET AT HIM?

[CHUCKLES] STILL SMARTING OVER THE
BEATING HE GAVE YOU, EH?

IT,A6S MORE THAN THAT. HAVE YOU
BEEN WATCHING HIM AND ELAINE?

YES, I,A6VE SEEN 'EM, I,A6VE SEEN 'EM.

DON,A6T LET THAT WORRY YA.

WHEN I DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH
AUTRY,

THAT,A6LL ALL BE TAKEN CARE OF.

UNTIL THEN, YOU LEAVE AUTRY ALONE.

HELLO, LAINE.

HELLO, GENE.

HELLO, TRIMBLE.

WELL, WELL. HOW,A6S THE MUSIC
TEACHER TODAY?

OH, JUST FINE.

YOU KNOW, ALL THE MUSIC TEACHERS I
EVER KNEW WERE WOMEN.

OLD WOMEN.

L,A6M NOT.

MOST MEN WOULDN,A6T ADMIT THEY
TEACH MUSIC.

OH, I DON,A6T MIND.

AND MOST MEN WOULD RESENT THE
WAY I,A6M TALKIN' TO YOU.

I DO.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT THIS.

NOW GET INTO TOWN WHERE YOU
BELONG!

NEVER A QULL MOMENT WHEN
YOU,A6RE AROUND.

I ,A6M SORRY, LAI N E

SORRY? IF A MA_N EVER ASKED FOR A
LICKIN,A6, WADE DID.

THAT,A6S THE SECOND TIME YOU AND
HE HAVE TANGLED.

IF I WERE YOU, I,A6D WATCH OUT FOR
THE THIRD TIME.

I WILL.

SINCE THERE,A6S BEEN SO MUCH TALK
ABOUT MUSIC LESSONS,

MAYBE WE OUGHTA HAVE ONE.

[STRUMMING GUITAR]

WHAT,A6S THAT, GENE?

LT,A6S CALLED WHIRLWIND.

WHAT AN ODD THING TO WRITE A SONG
ABOUT.

LT,A6S ABOUT THE DUST DEVILS OF THE
DESERT.

THEY COME FROM OUT OF NOWHERE
AND DISAPPEAR INTO NOWHERE.

LISTEN.

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? ,6O

,6O WHERE DO YOU GO? ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O AROUND SO FAST ,6O

,6O ALONG SO SLOW ,6O

,6O WHIRLY, WHIRLY,
WILL-O,A6-THE-WISP ,6O

,6O ENCHANTED SPIRE SUNLIGHT
KISSED ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O

,6O WHIRLWIND ,6O WHIRLWIND.

A-SHARING ,6O

,6O ALL THAT MATTERS JUST LIKE ME
,6O

,6O IS JUST TO ROAM AT WILL ,6O

,6O SO FREE ,6O

LAINE, I,A6VE GOT TO GO INTO TOWN.

IF YOU CAN SPARE AUTRY, I,A6D LIKE
HIM TO GO ALONG WITH ME.

THERE,A6S A LITTLE MATTER I,A6D LIKE
TO TALK OVER WITH HIM.

HE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK.

AND HE WILL.

YOUR DECISION TO SELL ME SOME OF
YOUR RANGE LAND,A6S

QUITE A CHANGE OF FRONT, LASSITTER.

THAT,A6S RIGHT.

BUT I BEEN DOING SOME THINKING.

SOONER OR LATER, SOMEBODY,A6S
BOUND TO COME IN HERE.

I CAN,A6T KEEP 'EM OUT FOREVER.

BUT RIGHT NOW, I CAN CHOOSE MY
NEIGHBORS.

AND FRANKLY, I THINK YOU,A6VE GOT
WHAT IT TAKES.

WELL, THANKS.

OH, lT,A6LL COST YA.

YOU ONCE MENTIONED SOMETHING
ABOUT $50,000.

WELL, I,A6M WILLING TO TALK A DEAL
ON THOSE LINES...

AFTER I,A6VE SEEN THE 50,000.

HAVE YOU CHECKED WITH MY BANK IN
DENVER?

AUTRY, I DON,A6T CARE IF YOU,A6VE
GOT $100,000 IN DENVER.

WHEN YOU,A6RE READY TO TALK
BUSINESS, CASH DEAL,

RIGHT HERE IN RED VALLEY, LET ME
KNOW.

ALL RIGHT, I WILL.

[CHUCKLING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

COME IN, COME IN.

HA HA. WELL, BOYS, THERE SHE IS...

FINISHED AT LAST.

NOW, DON,A6T TELL ME THAT lSN,A6T A
WORK OF ART.

THAT,A6S A FINE PIECE OF WORK, JIM.

I WOULDN,A6T MIND HAVING THAT
MYSELF.

DID YOU BRING US ALL THE WAY HERE
TO SHOW US THAT?

LON, SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I EVER
SET YOU UP IN BUSINESS

OR WHY I CONTINUE TO ASSOCIATE
WITH YOU.

L,A6M SORRY, JIM. I DIDN,A6T MEAN
ANYTHING BY IT.

WELL...FORGET IT.

I BROUGHT YOU OUT HERE, BOYS,

TO TELL YOU WHO OUR FRIEND AUTRY
REALLY IS.

HE,A6S THE WHIRLWIND.

THE WHIRLWIND?

YOU [\_/IEAN THAT POSTAL INSPECTOR
WHO,A6S ALWAYS APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE?

THAT,A6S RIGHT.

ARE YOU CERTAIN?

AS CERTAIN AS I EVER HAVE TO BE
ABOUT ANYTHING.

WE,A6D BETTER GET HIM TONIGHT.
COME ON, MEN!

WE,A6LL DO NOTHING OF THE KIND.

DON,A6T FORGET...

OUR WHIRLWIND FRIEND HAS $50,000.

WHY, THAT,A6S A PLANT, A
GOVERNMENT PLANT!

OF COURSE IT IS!

BUT I,A6VE GOT WHIRLWIND AUTRY IN A
SPOT

WHERE HE THINKS HE,A6S GOT TO
BRING THE MONEY HERE

IN ORDER TO GET CLOSER TO ME.

NOW, I WANT AUTRY JUST AS BADLY AS
ANY OF YOU.

BUT I ALSO WANT THAT $50,000.

WELL, I JUST WANT AUTRY.

WE,A6RE MAKING ENOUGH MONEY
WITHOUT TAKING HIS.

LET,A6S PUT HIM AWAY WHILE WE STILL
GOT THE CHANCE!

AND TOSS THAT KINDA MONEY OUT OF
THE WINDOW?

DON,A6T BE A FOOL, WADE!

BUT, JIM, I TELL YOU--

IF LON HAD DONE THAT,

I COULD UNDERSTAND IT.

HE HAS NO APPRECIATION OF DELICATE
THINGS.

BUT YOU, WADE... [CHUCKLES]

YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

WHAT WAS BIG JIM LAYIN,A6 DOWN THE
LAW ABOUT?

HE,A6S GETTING IMPATIENT.
PRACTICALLY__ACCUSED ME OF RUNNIN,A6 A BLUFF.

L,A6VE GOTTA TRANSFER THAT MONEY
DOWN FROM DENVER.

L,A6LL HAVE TO TAP THE LINE AGAIN

AND SEND A TELEGRAM TO
WASHINGTON FOR AN OK.

WANT ME TO TAG ALONG?

MIGHT AS WELL.

I DON,A6T CARE WHAT BIG JIM SAYS.

L,A6M GOING TO GET AUTRY TODAY.

L,A6D FEEL A LOT BETTER WITH HIM
OUTTA THE WAY

NOW THAT I KNOW HE,A6S THE
WHIRLWIND.

ANYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENS TO
AUTRY IS GOOD NEWS TO ME.

AND I,A6M NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW
HOW BIG JIM FEELS ABOUT HIM.

WONDER WHERE THEY,A6RE HEADED.

PROBABLY TO THE END OF THE TRAIL.

HEY, GENE. HEY.

DON,A6T PAY IT NO PARTICULAR MIND,

BUT THERE,A6S BEEN 3 FELLAS FOLLOWIN,A6
US EVER SINCE WE LEFT TOWN.

I WONDERED IF__YOU HAD NOTICED
,A6EM.

YOU MEAN, YOU KNOWED IT ALL THE
TIME?

IT MAY NOI MEAN ANYTHING, BUT
WE,A6LL MAKE SURE.

WE,A6LL CHANGE DIRECTIONS DOWN
THERE IN THE SAND

AND SEE IF THEY FOLLOW OUR TRAIL.

HEY, GENE, STOP!

THE TELEGRAPH LINE,A6S TO THE
NORTH!

SURE. I WANNA LEAD ,A6EM AWAY FROM
IT.

FROM THE WAY HE,A6S WALKING,

HE AIN,A6T HURT BAD ENOUGH.

THERE,A6LL BE ANOTHER DAY. LET,A6S
MOVE.

I WANNA GET BACK TO TOWN AND FIND
OUT JUST WHO OUR FRIENDS WERE.

HELLO, LAINE.

HI, MISS LAINE.

HELLO, BOYS. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
HERE

A WHILE BACK, SMILEY. BILL TRASK GOT
BUCKED OFF AND HURT HIS SHOULDER.

HE DID? SAY, THAT BILL TRASK

IS GONNA MAKE SOME WOMAN A FINE
HUSBAND.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE,A6S GOT A STORY FOR EVERYTHING.

[LAUGHS] SMILEY, SOMETIMES YOU
PUZZLE ME.

GENE, MAY I SPEAK TO YOU FOR A
MINUTE?

WHY, SURE. COME ON IN. SMILEY CAN
CHAPERONE US.

FROM OUT HERE.

WELL, SEE IF SHE,A6S GOT A SISTER
PRETTY LIKE HER, WILL YA?

WHAT,A6S ON YOUR MIND, LAINE?

SIT DOWN.

OH, I,A6M ALL RIGHT.

GENE, I,A6M SCARED.

WHY? YOU DON,A6T JUMP AT SHADOWS.

APPLE?

NO, THANKS. I LIKE ,A6EM PEELED.

GENE, lT,A6S UNCLE JIM.

WHAT,A6S HE DONE?

HE WANTS TO SEND ME TO EUROPE FOR
A YEAR...

AND RIGHT NOW.

WHAT,A6S WRONG WITH THAT?

NOTHIN,A6.

IF IT WEREN,A6T FOR SOME OF THE
OTHER THINGS.

SUCH AS?

WELL, WE HAD A ROW LAST NIGHT

BECAUSE I DON,A6T WANT TO GO TO
EUROPE.

MY HEART,A6S IN THE CATTLE
BUSINESS.

I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT I WAS OLD
ENOUGH

TO HAVE A LARGER VOICE IN MY SHARE
OF THE RANCH.

AND I ASKED FOR SOME MONEY TO START A
SMALL EXPERIMENTAL OUTFIT OF MY OWN.

WHAT,A6D HE SAY?

HE SAID I DIDN,A6T HAVE ANY MONEY...

EXCEPT WHAT HE GAVE ME AS AN
ALLOWANCE.

HE SAID IT WAS LEFT IN DAD,A6S WILL
THAT WAY.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN THAT
WILL?

TWICE.

ONCE RIGHT AFTER DAD WAS KILLED...

AND I SCARCELY KNEW WHAT IT SAID.

AND AGAIN THIS MORNING. THAT,A6S
WHAT IT SAID, ALL RIGHT.

BUT I,A6D GAMBLE MY LIFE IT lSN,A6T
DAD'S HANDWRITING.

YOU NEED A LAWYER.

WADE TRIMBLE,A6S THE ONLY LAWYER

AROUND THESE PARTS, AND I DON,A6T
TRUST HIM ANYMORE.

HE,A6S TOO THICK WITH BIG JIM.

I DO TRUST YOU.

HOW WAS YOUR FATHER KILLED?

HE WAS DRY GULCHED.

WE DIDN,A6T FIND HIM UNTIL 2 DAYS
AFTER IT HAPPENED.

WHERE WAS BIG JIM WHEN IT
HAPPENED?

THAT,A6S WHAT I'M BEGINNING TO
WONDER.

HE SAID HE WAS OUT CHECKING WATER
HOLES ALONE.

LAINE...

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR
UNCLE,A6S BUSINESS?

VERY LITTLE. I KNOW THERE,A6S SOME
PRETTY ROUGH CHARACTERS

THAT COME TO SEE HIM ONCE IN A
WHILE,

BUT THIS IS PRETTY ROUGH COUNTRY,

AND BIG JIM LASSITTER IS NO ANGEL.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

HELP ME IF YOU CAN. I KNOW UNCLE JIM
IS PLANNING

ON SELLING YOU PART OF THE RANGE
LAND,

AND THAT,A6S WHAT PUZZLES ME.

ONLY YESTERDAY I HEARD HIM TELLING
WADE,

"STOP WORRYING. YOU,A6LL GET LAINE
AFTER I GET AUTRY.

BUT WE,A6LL CATCH HIM MY WAY."

WATCH OUT FOR HIM, GENE.

BIG JIM lSN,A6T ANYBODY TO FOOL
AROUND WITH.

I FOUND THAT OUT ALREADY.

IF THE WILL BIG JIM SHOWED YOU IS
FAKE,

WHO,A6D HAVE THE REAL ONE?

WADE TRIMBLE, PROBABLY.

WADE,A6S FATHER WAS DAD,A6S
ATTORNEY...

UNTIL OLD MR. TRIMBLE DIED,

THEN DAD LET WADE CARRY ON THE
BUSINESS.

ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH WADE TRIMBLE?

I DON,A6T THINK THERE,A6S MUCH
DOUBT

ABOUT WHO I,A6M IN LOVE WITH.

WELL...

WELL... JUST TAKE IT EASY.

L,A6LL DO EVERYTHING I CAN.

COWARD.

NO WONDER SHE WAS LAUGHING. YOU
DO LOOK FUNNY.

SMILEY, IF YOU WERE A LAWYER

HOLDIN,A6 THE WILL OF A MURDERED
MAN

WHILE A FAKE WILL WAS BEING USED,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH IT?

DO I KNOW WHO DONE THE MURDER?

YEAH, YOU KNOW THE MURDERER.

WELL, SIR, I,A6D KINDA HOLD ONTO IT
LIKE MY RIGHT EYE,

,A6CAUSE AS LONG AS I HAD IT,

I WOULDN,A6T HAVE TO WORK TOO
HARD.

WOULD YOU KEEP IT IN, SAY, A MONEY
BELT?

DOES WADE TRIMBLE HAVE A MONEY
BELT?

YOU,A6VE BEEN LISTENING.

AND PEEKIN,A6, TOO. [GIGGLES]

SAY, YOU KNOW, I SOMETIMES USE MY
HEAD

FOR SOMETHING ELSE ,A6SIDES PUTTIN'
MY HAT ON.

I DO SOME THINKIN,A6 ONCE IN A WHILE,

AND I BEEN THINKIN,A_<_3 THAT THAT BIG
JIM LASSITTER,A6S STORY

ABOUT HIS BROTHER GETTIN,A6 KILLED
BY THE RUSTLERS

HAS GOT A FINE SMELL TO IT.

WHAT ABOUT WADE TRIMBLE,A6S
MONEY BELT?

FUNNY PART OF IT IS, HE DOES WEAR
ONE.

HE DOES?

THAT DAY WE TANGLED OUT IN THE
STREET,

I SUNK A COUPLE OF PUNCHES INTO IT.

WELL, LET,A6S GO JERK THAT MONEY
BELT OFF OF HIM.

L,A6LL BET YA A DIME TO A PIECE OF
CORN BREAD

HE,A6S GOT THAT WILL ON HIM RIGHT
NOW.

L,A6D SURE LIKE TO.

YES, SIR...

BIG JIM AND \I_\_IADE TRIMBLE ARE
ROBBIN,A6 HER BLIND.

BUT lT,A6LL HAVE TO WAIT.

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT lSN,A6T
PAYING US TO SETTLE PERSONAL PROBLEMS.

RIGHT NOW lT,A6S OUR JOB TO__GET BIG
JIM LASSITTER FOR ROBBIN,A6 THE MAILS.

AND MAYBE FOR MURDER?

YEAH.

MAYBE FOR MURDER.

[KNOCKING] Big Jim: COME IN.

HELLO, MR. LASSITTER.

HELLO, AUTRY. WHAT CAN I DO FOR
YOU?

L,A6VE DECIDED TO HAVE MY FUNDS
TRANSFERRED HERE FROM DENVER.

IF YOU BUY MY RANGE, I,A6M GOING TO
USE PART OF THE PURCHASE PRICE

TO BUY SOME IMPORTED WOOD FOR MY
MODELING.

SO YOU,A6VE DEFINITELY DECIDED TO
STAY HERE.

YES, SIR.

I REALLY LIKE THAT WILLOW CREEK
RANGE

YOU SHOWED ME THE OTHER DAY.

WHEN WILL YOU BE IN A POSITION TO
CLOSE A CASH DEAL?

BY THURSDAY.

L,A6M HAVING THE MONEY TRANSFERRED
HERE BY REGISTERED MAIL.

BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT INVOLVED,

THE DENVER POSTAL AUTHORITIES

ARE SENDING IT BY SPECIAL MAIL
STAGE.

I HOPE IT GETS THROUGH THE BANDIT
COUNTRY SAFELY.

SO DO I.

SMILEY BURNETTE AND I ARE RIDIN,A6
IN WITH IT PART OF THE WAY.

THAT,A6S A WISE PRECAUTION.

PERHAPS I BETTER RIDE INTO TOWN
WITH YOU

AND HAVE TRIMBLE ARRANGE ABOUT
THE DEEDS.

THAT,A6S RIGHT.

DRAW THAT DEED UP VERY CAREFULLY.

I WANT IT TO BE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

DON,A6T WORRY. THERE WON,A6T BE A
FLAW IN IT.

GOOD. BRING IT ALONG WITH YOU
TONIGHT

WHEN YOU COME OUT WITH BARLOW
AND KRAMER.

SO, NATURALLY, AUTRY EXPECTS ME
TO GO AFTER THAT SPECIAL STAGE

WHEN IT BRINGS IN THE MONEY.

WELL, WE,A6LL FOOL HIM.

I WANT THAT STAGE TO ARRIVE HERE
SAFELY.

I WANT EVERYBODY IN TOWN TO KNOW
THAT AUTRY HAS THAT MONEY.

I ALSO WANT THEM TO KNOW

THAT I,A6M NEGOTIATING WITH HIM

FOR THE SALE OF MY WILLOW CREEK
RANGE.

BUT THAT,A6LL RUIN YOUR RANCH!

LT,A6S YOUR BEST LAND, JIM.

AND IT,A6LL STILL REMAIN IN MY
POSSESSION.

THE AUTRY DEAL WILL TAKE PLACE
RIGHT HERE.

L,A6LL INSIST ON THAT.

THEN WE,A6LL GET RID OF MR. AUTRY

AND HIS HORSE DOCTOR FRIEND.

WHEN THEY,A6RE OUT OF THE WAY,

I,A6LL HAVE TWO OF MY MEN DRESSED
IN THEIR CLOTHES

MAKE A CLEAR, BUT FAST, TRAIL TO
THE BORDER.

AND THEY,A6LL BE PLENTY FREE

WITH THEIR MONEY ON THAT TRAIL--

THE MARKED MONEY I KNOW AUTRY
WILL HAVE SENT IN FROM DENVER.

AND YOU WILL FOLLOW THAT TRAIL,
SHERIFF,

BUT YOU,A6LL BE JUST TOO LATE TO
CAPTURE THE FUGITIVES.

THEN lT,A6LL LOOK LIKE AUTRY AND
THE DOC

HAVE STOLEN $50,000 OF GOVERNMENT
MONEY.

THAT,A6S IT.

BUT lT,A6S STILL MARKED MONEY.

WITH A BROAD TRAIL LEADING ALL THE
WAY INTO MEXICO.

WHILE THE GOVERNMENT,A6S LOOKING
FOR AUTRY IN MEXICO,

I,A6LL HAVE COLLINS CHANGE THE
REST OF THAT MONEY

FOR UNMARKED BILLS IN DENVER--

THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH THEY,A6D
EXPECT TO FIND IT.

Driver: WHOA!

HO!

OH, lT,A6S YOU, TOM.

FOR A MINUTE, I THOUGHT YOU WERE
THE SPECIAL.

NO. THEY,A6RE BEHIND US.

COME ON IN.

[CHUCKLES]

WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHIN,A6 AT?

YOU KNOW, I ALWAYS FIGURED JUST
BEIN,A6 IN THE PRESENCE OF $50,000

WOULD GIVE ME THE SCREAMIN,A6
FANTODS.

BUT I DON,AégT MIND IT A BIT AS LONG
AS lT,A6S COVERED UP.

LEAVE THAT ALONE.

I JUST WANTED TO BE ABLE TO SAY

I,A6D HAD MY HANDS ON $50,000.

YOU KNOW, THERE,_'A'<3S SOMETHIN' ABOUT
THIS I HAVEN,A6T FIGURED OUT, THOUGH.

WHAT,A6S THAT?

YOU KNOW THAT MONEY SHIPMENT WAS
SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN A DECOY

FOR BIG JIM LASSITTER.

THAT,A6S RIGHT.

AND NOTHIN,A6 HAPPENED.

NOW YOU GOT T_Q BUY A RANCH YOU
DON,A6T WANT

WITH MONEY YOU DON,A6T OWN.

HOW,A6S THAT GONNA FIGURE OUT?

WELL, lT,A6S THIS WAY, SMILEY.

BIG JIM,A6S SUSPICIOUS.

HE IS?

I KNEW THAT WHEN_ HE HAD FRANK COLLINS
CHECKIN,A6 ON THINGS IN DENVER.

WHO,A6S FRANK COLLINS?

HE,A6S A FENCE AND A TIPSTER FOR
CRIMINALS.

WE,A6VE SUSPECTED FOR A LONG TIME

HE AND BIG JIM WERE IN TOGETHER.

AND NOW BIG JIM,A6S HOLDIN,A6 ALL
THE CARDS.

RIGHT NOW, HE,A6S GOT A 4-CARD
FLUSH,

BUT HE CAN,A6T AFFORD TO SELL THAT
WILLOW CREEK RANGE AT ANY PRICE.

WHEN THAT HAPPENS, THE CHIPS ARE
ALL DOWN.

WHOA!

SIGN ME OFF, WILL YOU, MR. AUTRY?

BE GLAD TO.

BE BACK IN A MINUTE, SMILEY.

THERE,A6S $50,000 IN CASH IN THAT
STAGE, LON.

AND ALL WE,A6LL GET OUT OF IT WILL
BE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FROM BIG JIM.

OR A SOCK IN THE JAW IF HE THINKS
YOU NEED IT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, LON?

I CAN,A6T DRIVE ONE OF THEM THINGS.

I CAN.

YOU TAKE CARE OF THE HORSE
DOCTOR.

WELL, HOW ARE YOU, DOC?

OH, HELLO THERE, SHY-- I MEAN,
LAWYER.

HAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HYAH!

PULL UP, TRIMBLE! YOU,A6RE UNDER
ARREST!

PULL UP!

HAH! HYAH! HYAH!

THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE, TRIMBLE.

STOP THAT STAGE.

HO!

HO!

SO YOU,A6RE A MURDERER, TOO.

NO.

NO, I DIDN,A6T KILL JEFF LASSITTER.

BIG JIM DID.

I WAS HOLDING THE WILL AS A CLUB
OVER HIS HEAD.

I GUESS IT DIDN,A6T DO ME MUCH GOOD.

[HORSES APPROACH]

REPEAT THAT ABOUT BIG JIM.

BIG JIM...MURDERED HIS BROTHER...

TO GET THE ESTATE.

HEAR THAT, MEN?

WE HEARD HIM, GENE.

Trimble: I,A6M GLAD lT,A6S OVER WITH.

L,A6M READY TO PAY FOR MY SHARE.

GET HIM INTO TOWN, MEN.

KRAMER,A6S OVER HERE.

HE,A6S DEAD.

YEAH. SAVES THE COST OF A TRIAL.

THERE,A6S $50,000 IN THERE, TOO.

[FROG VOICE] WOW!

THERE IS, AIN,A6T THEY?

YOU STAY HERE WITH IT.

L,A6VE GOT A DATE WITH BIG JIM
LASSITTER.

L,A6LL HAVE TO USE YOUR HORSE.

OH, SIT DOWN, BARLOW. SIT DOWN.

YOU ACT LIKE AN EXPECTANT FATHER.

WELL, I AM NERVOUS.

WHERE,A6S WADE AND LON?

ON THEIR WAY, PROBABLY.

THEY WEREN,A6T SUPPOSED TO LEAVE
RED VALLEY UNTIL AUTRY ARRIVED.

HIS STAGE COULD,A6\[E BEEN DELAYED,
COULDN,A6T IT

WELL, JUST THE SAME, I--

Gene: YOU,A6RE UNDER ARREST,
LASSITTER.

I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF USIN,A6 YOUR
BACK DOOR.

I WANT YOU FOR THE MURDER OF YOUR
BROTHER.

AND YOU, BARLOW, AS AN ACCESSORY.

YOU,A6LL HAVE TROUBLE PROVING
THAT, AUTRY.

NOW WITH A HALF A _DOZEN WITNESSES
HEARING TRIMBLE,A6S CONFESSION.

PUT THESE ON HIM, SHERIFF.

DON,A6T SHOOT
