Original subtitles

Looks like the boys changed their minds.

I don't know how I'll ever be able to thank you.

Don't bother about that.

It wasn't any trouble.

I was coming this way anyway.

That fellow over there won't bother anymore, miss.

Well, I got the driver.

Give me a hand.

inside Steve won't be very happy about the way this turned out I never did like

any part of it I don't mind mustn't count on holding up stages when it comes to

grabbing women it's bad business it's too much like sticking your fist in the

horn it's not how you're paid to do what you're told not what you like yeah I'm

the one to stretch his rope that backfires hello Jed stage is a little late

isn't it yes and I'm worried on account of all the holdups we've had lately

Linda's been visiting around Martha she was coming home on today's stage you've

got a right to feel uneasy why don't you get rid of all that worry and turn out

to me I'll gamble beating a gang of outlaws well let's not go into that anymore

I told you flatly I'm not selling out Some of those mines back in the hills are

looking pretty good.

And if this country should have a boom, my franchise will be worth a fortune.

And if you go broke in the meantime, that's the chance I'll take.

Don't be long.

It's a stranger driving.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Somebody get in the sheriff.

Got a couple of dead men inside.

Dad, we were held up.

Mr.

Carson saved me from being a prisoner.

Mr., you've made a friend for life.

That wasn't much of a job.

And the dead men you got around here don't seem to relish gun smoke very much.

Let's go into the office until the sheriff gets here.

I sure feel sorry for Tim, the driver.

He was a good man.

Everyone liked him.

Yeah, it's tough.

Tell me, have you had much of this trouble?

Too much.

Outlaws are making it almost impossible for me to operate.

They're too smart for the sheriff.

That one you brought in is the first one to be knocked over.

From what I saw of Mr.

Carson in action,

I'd say he'd be very discouraging to the outlaws if he was working for the

express company.

See, that's a good idea.

How about it?

No, thanks.

I don't like tying myself down to any one job.

My feet get itchy.

You're not afraid to take the job, are you?

No, miss.

I don't think so.

But, you know,

making a business chasing outlaws is the best way I know of to keep from

growing old.

I'd be glad to have you take the job.

Of course, it's your own business, whether you do or not.

But I'm still in your debt for what you've already done.

I'm going to have to go back to work.

I got to go to work.

Hello, Steve.

We didn't do so good.

You were telling me?

He's brought that girl in, we've had bowin' over a baron,

they'd have to sell out.

Well, we've done the best we could.

Maybe so, but that wasn't anything to brag about.

Carson made the remark that you boys didn't relish guns for me.

It looks like I've got to find someone to show you daffodils how to put up a

fight.

Just heard of someone in jail over at Cherokee who'd fill the bill.

Yeah, friend of yours?

No, I don't know him except by reputation.

His name is Matt Brawley.

He's a plenty tough killer.

Well, if he's so tough, how come they've got him in jail?

Some woman double -crossed him for the reward, filled him full of liquor,

and then turned him over to the sheriff.

He got away with a lot of money and a couple of bank holdups.

Never did find the money.

Say, maybe I've got something.

If we got him out of jail, he could be a lot of help to us.

If we're smart, find out where he hid that money.

I suppose we just mow thee over to Cherokee,

and that's the sheriff real polite to let him out of jail.

I don't care how you do it.

Get him out, that's all.

Sheriff,

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just wasting my life here in Cherokee.

You know, why don't you join the circus?

No, I'm talking serious.

I ought to go someplace where I can spread out and do big things and become

important.

Yeah?

Well, in the meantime, you keep your eye on things around here while I'm gone.

I've got an important prisoner in there.

You ain't got nothing to worry about as long as I'm on the job.

Whoever heard of an important prisoner?

We'll walk right into that sheriff's office, take him a surprise,

and be out of town before they get organized.

We hope.

Hey, Sheriff, come in here.

What are you doing?

Where's the sheriff?

He stepped out for a while.

Just make yourself at home.

You'll feel like waiting.

Very funny.

Hey.

I've been doing a lot of things.

Looks like I'll never have a chance to use that money from a bankholder.

Don't take much things.

I know that.

That's what I mean.

I never expected to get out of here.

If I knew anybody I could trust to get that money and give it back to the

people I took it from, I'd feel a lot easier.

Say, do you really mean that?

Sure I do.

Say, you're just the man to do it for me.

Well, he could trust me with anything.

I believe I can.

Let me shake the hands of an honest man.

Yes.

Bower!

Fuzzy!

I'm in here, Sheriff.

What are you doing in there?

Where's Matt Brawley?

He bamboozled me and got away.

If you let me out of here, I'll help you catch it.

You are a supplied idiot.

After all the trouble I had landing Matt Brawley, you let him get away.

You'll stay right in there until I catch him again if it takes 20 years.

You haven't got enough brains to fill a symbol.

And if I think of anything more, I'll come back and tell you about it.

It's a long time.

Come on, Matt, you're taking out of here.

Come on.

I don't have time to argue.

Hurry up.

Don't worry about him.

He'll be out for an hour.

Well, much better, boy.

Come here, you're going with us.

Get on that horse.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thanks for watching.

That sheriff at Cherokee can't bother us now.

We crossed the state line.

Yeah, we didn't hit nothing with the high spots.

Well, now, if you boys got anything to do, go right ahead and do it.

Let me stop you.

We figured on you joining up with us.

We can cut you in on a position that'll make you plenty,

and we need a gunfighter like you.

I heard that Matt Bali was a hundred proof foreign brimstone,

but you don't look so tough to me.

Well, looks have got nothing to do with it.

Listen, Matt Bali's got plenty of killings to his credit.

For my money, he don't have to look beautiful.

Yeah, it's a good and lack of beauty ain't no handicap.

Eh, we'd be kind of funny if I wasn't Matt Bali, wouldn't it?

It wouldn't be funny to you.

We took a long chance in springing you out of the Kalaboos.

I was just supposed to.

Well, I suppose we keep traveling,

but you won't make any mistake if you string along with us.

Don't pick up the payroll, Hank.

Wait a minute.

Hello, Carson.

Howdy.

You sure you won't change your mind about riding guard?

No, thanks.

I'm a quiet and peaceable man.

Fighting outlaws is not my dish.

All right, Hank, start rolling.

Eat up.

You know, it's funny the outlaws are riding you so hard,

and from all I hear and know, no one else is being bothered very much.

They haven't time for anyone else.

They're too busy wrecking my business.

That's what makes it so funny.

Seems like a personal grudge.

Well, I haven't an enemy in the world that I know about.

Well, maybe there are few that you don't know about.

Hello, Jed.

Looks like you're headed for more trouble.

What do you mean?

Well,

I just heard Matt Brawley escaped from jail over Cherokee and is headed this

way.

He's poisoned.

He could give a rattlesnake the first bite and still win.

Why shake hands on that problem?

I guess you've all heard of him.

Well, here, let's go.

Let's hear him.

We're mighty glad to have him join up with us.

Let's let you let it off.

Hello, Fuzzy.

You're trying to straight off your home range, haven't you?

Hey, what does he mean, fuzzy?

I don't know.

You made a mistake, mister.

I don't know you.

Don't know me?

You gone loco fuzzy?

Are you hunting for trouble?

When I say you made a mistake, that's what I mean,

and don't give me no argument.

I might think you was calling me a liar.

Uh, I'm sorry to have bothered you, mister.

I mistook you for a scatterbrained maverick named Fuzzy Jones.

Hasn't got sense enough to come in out of the rain.

Generally up to his ears in a mess of trouble.

Excuse me.

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

a game of world so don't spoil his fun.

All right cut it out don't come around here hunting for trouble I won't stand

for that I never had the trouble I'm a quiet and peaceable man so I've noticed.

You take out the Met Brawley.

You met Brawley that's what the man said.

Spread out make yourself at home I don't think anybody around.

on here will be stepping on your toes, and they hadn't buried me.

Steve Kirby's a good man to have for a friend.

I got a friend here that I can always count on.

Well, I never saw that beat for high class gunslinging.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Maybe someday I'll show you some first -class gunslinging.

I'd like to see that, to use Carson for a target.

Hey, bartender, fill up some of your first -class bourbon here.

Lay it out there where I can get out of it.

Come on, boys, sit right over here.

Come on up.

What's the matter?

Are you worried about something?

No, not worried.

Just puzzle.

You know, I've just seen a rabbit acting like a wildcat.

I can't figure out why.

Maybe that's his idea of having a good time.

Could be.

We have a cozy little nest where we operate from.

We'll take you up there this afternoon.

Well,

I ain't clear setting my mind whether I want to join up with any outfit or not.

We generally work alone.

Oh, now listen.

We broke our necks to be friendly to you.

You'd hurt our feelings if you didn't join up with us.

Yeah, we never did like to have our feelings hurt.

Well, I'll think it over.

Well, here's how.

I know how.

Well, here's how.

Well, here's how.

I'm on the side of the horse and put him in the stand.

How's this?

The private hotel owns ourselves.

Not bad, huh?

You're flying pretty high.

Come on upstairs.

Sit down, Matt.

Hey, Matt.

Sit down.

Oh, yeah.

Sit down.

Now, you stick with us and you'll wear diamonds.

We're after big stuff, and the way the boss has the plans, we can't miss.

Oh, where is the boss?

I always do business with a head man, I don't know.

Not with him, you don't.

He's big hearted and keeps out of sight, so we can get all the glory.

I've double -crossed some female that turns you over to sheriff,

didn't get the money from all them bank jobs, did you?

What do you think?

Do I look like a halfwit?

Don't you answer that.

I'll bet you were smart enough to have it planned another harm's way.

Naturally, you'll want to go dig it up.

Now that we're partners,

you can count on us to go along with you in case you're getting in trouble.

I don't see what it is in your 30 of us then.

Of course there is.

You can't enjoy money unless it's in your pocket.

Besides,

you're taking the chance that some dishonest person might come along and find

it.

Thank you.

Thanks for watching!

I can't.

The bell can't ring myself.

Have you been bothering much with ghosts?

No, there ain't any ghosts around here.

Well, the family could have moved in, but they did.

I sure don't want to cry.

Well...

Hey, look at this.

The plane rat could have knocked that over.

Well, that could have been it.

This place is swarming with rats.

Well, we'd better take a look around any time.

Billy, am I glad to see you talk fast?

What's going on?

Well, they think I'm Matt Brawley, a root -and -tootin' desperado.

They got me cutting on a big proposition, and they won't take no for an answer.

What are they cooking up for?

Uh, that I don't know yet.

You're in a good spot to learn all the answers.

Yeah, and I have a good spot to get my headshot off, too.

What's the difference?

You never use it for anything.

Well, I gotta have some place to put my hat.

Hey, I thought I heard you talking to someone.

Well, I gotta have it at talking to myself sometimes.

You better watch out, mister.

They say that's the first sign of going local.

Hey, you and Vic have been doing a lot of talking.

You ain't said nothing.

What are you driving at?

Now, let's get down to cases.

What is this proposition of yours that's gonna pay off so big?

We're all set to skim the cream of this country, and we're starting,

but taking over the express company.

Express company?

I'm not scared, and I'll tell you all about it.

All right.

Let's go.

All right.

All right.

You have come down your fate of the day OK I want a man tripped he falls down

that can happen to anybody.

Who are you talking with Carson I'd like to know why he's hanging around here

we got to get rid of him right away it'll be a good job for you to be why sure

what I hear about you is true you're an ace gunslinger but I'm mad at him

what's that got to do with it he may come snooping around here and cause some

trouble but he won't if he's planted that's all.

Hello, Miss Bowen.

Why, hello, Mr.

Kirby.

What can I do for you?

Oh, nothing at all.

I thought maybe I might be able to do something for you.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

Your daddy's being pigheaded and refusing to sell.

Everybody can see that he's going broke.

He has a right to do what he pleases with his own business.

Well, of course, every man has a right to be foolish if he wants to be.

And I thought maybe if you persuade him to sell out,

why he might be able to save something out of the wreck.

I'm willing to gamble that I can make a go of this business.

How come you're so big -hearted, Mr.

Kirby?

Sell them fine anyone so anxious to pick up a hot potato.

Why don't you mind your own business and get out of here?

I don't like to be shoved around, Mr.

Kirby.

What's this all about?

I came in here feeling friendly, and he started shoving me around.

You came in here shooting off your face about something that wasn't your

business.

Can't you take a joke?

I can take a joke, all right.

But you won't like the way I hand it back to you.

I can't understand.

And why he flies off the handle so easy.

It looked to me as if you were trying to start a fight.

And I'll thank you to have no more balls in here.

Ah, I had no quarrel with you.

Why should I start a fight?

Just plain cussiness, maybe.

I don't know.

I'm not interested in your reasons.

You can't figure them out.

I'm her dad, and she's got me going around in circles half the time.

I guess having a girl around all the time would be quite disturbing to a man's

peace of mind.

Mr.

Bowen,

I heard talk to an organized gang trying to wreck the express government.

Why?

Well, so that they can gather up the pieces, put them back together again.

Say, that would make sense.

The Aztec mine payroll is coming through in a day or so.

If they get that, I'm finished.

I've made up my mind to deal myself in if you don't mind.

Mine?

I'll be mighty glad to have you.

How about you?

Thank you.

Well,

I thought I heard something come down to take a look and get a whole tangle up

and furniture.

I hope you're not getting restless on account of that payroll I told you about.

I can't see why that would make me restless.

Of course not.

You wouldn't figure to ditch us and grab it all by yourself, would you?

Hey, are you calling me a double crusher?

I didn't call any names.

I just asked you a question, that's all.

He's got brains.

He knows he can never get away with a food trick like that.

That was an answer to your question.

Now come on, let's get upstairs and attend a business.

Okay, as far as I know.

The boys from the Aztec are already getting warmed up for payday.

If they're not disappointed, they might get mean about it.

I don't know any good reason why they should be disappointed.

What's the matter, dear?

Well, maybe I was a fool to trust everything to Carson the way I did.

We don't really know anything about him.

I don't think you've made a mistake.

There are times when I wanted to box his ears, too,

but somehow I can't help feeling complete confidence in Billy Carson.

Well, I hope you're right, honey.

Because everything depends on him now Hey, the stage will be along any minute.

We've got no time to be picking wildflowers.

I was just kind of fixing the lay of the land in my mind.

Never mind about that.

We'll see that you don't get lost.

Yeah, there might come a time when you won't be around here.

Come on, let's get going.

Yeah, let's get going.

Yeah, this way.

Get out of here !

Hey, that was the smoothest job I ever saw, a bar none.

I suppose they recognize me and figured it was no use to put up a fight.

Heh heh.

Hey, pass her up here.

I'll take care of her.

Oh, we won't bother and lug that box around.

I got a better idea.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Iron washers.

We've been robbed.

If that's your idea of a big proposition, I've been wasting my time.

I can get that stuff at any hardware store.

Take it out in, Hank.

Remember, don't drop.

Let him guess what happened.

Maybe the boss of that outfit will tip his hands.

We'll be careful.

Get up.

Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch, watch.

They've got to come across today.

I'm not going to wait in there.

I'm going to wait for you, buddy.

They all seem pretty anxious for the stage to show up.

So am I.

Here it comes, boys.

This must be it.

Nice work, Gus.

I'm glad you got through all right.

You ready for me in a minute, boys?

It means a lot for me, brother.

I'd like to get some in right now.

I'm sorry you don't care to go with me.

I'd be glad to go with you, but I'm busy.

Busy?

Yeah, I got a lot of thinking to do.

I suppose you would find that very exhausting.

What's the matter with you, fellas?

Can I depend on you to do anything?

Why don't you grab that payroll?

Somebody put over a fast one.

We took the express box off the stage, but it was filled with iron washers.

But it doesn't make sense.

I saw the stage come in.

They had express box with them.

I'm not fooling around any longer.

I'm going to get some fast action.

I hear that some half -baked maverick is strutting around here claiming to be me

Is that right?

Well who are you?

The name is Matt Brawley.

Matt Brawley.

Did you say your name was Matt Brawley?

Yeah, Matt Brawley.

And when I meet up with that Umbrade, I'll only be one of me around here.

Well, that should be enough.

It sure is.

That's all any one town can hold.

Howdy, partner.

Did you say your name was Matt Broly?

That's right.

You want to make something of it?

No, on the contrary.

I thought I might be able to do you a favor.

Hey, Steve, what about Carson hanging around here?

I don't like you.

I don't want you hanging around my place.

That makes me very unhappy, Mr.

Kirby.

You're apt to feel more unhappy if you don't drag yourself out of town.

You're beginning to spread yourself out over quite a bit of territory.

I wouldn't bet that gun if I were you.

You know, I'm plenty easy to get along with.

I'm a quiet and peaceable man.

He says he's a peaceable man.

But you didn't seem so anxious to tangle with him.

He'll be taken care of if he gets in our way.

We'll name a time and a place.

A fellow calling himself Matt Broly just joined up with the boys.

Maybe he'd like to talk to him.

I sure would.

You will.

Come on, let's have a drink.

Hey, Jackie.

Hello, Jeff.

Hi, Billy.

You know,

I think Steve Kirby's the man who's been trying to wreck your business.

Well, I'll have a showdown with him right now.

Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Take it easy.

We've got to get the proof first.

See you later.

A friend of mine is apt to find himself out in the end of a limb.

I've got to go and shove a mattress under it.

Thank you.

I might be able to do you a favor.

Then use your name.

You can also put you in line for a cut and a nice juicy melon.

That is, if you're interested.

There's nothing I'd like better.

Well, you've come to the right place.

Hey, Steve, that born girl rode out of town just as I came in.

If you shouldn't happen to meet up with her, why,

I'll try to keep her from feeling lonesome.

What do you say we drag out of here?

I'm with you.

What are you trying to do, jump your room ramp?

What are you trying to do, Jimmy Hart, may you?

Of course not.

Well, you didn't miss us any more than an ass eyebrow.

Let's go somewhere where we can talk.

Come on.

Now they got me mixed up in the stage hold -up, and I'm getting out of here.

Say, were you that Indian in the wagon that passed us on the road?

Yeah.

Yeah, I thought so.

That was a pretty slick trick,

and you should have seen their faces when they opened that strongbox.

I'll tell you, Billy, I'm getting away from here.

They still think that I'm Matt Brawley,

and they're putting the pressure on me to dig up some money that I ain't even

got.

That'd be pretty difficult, Fuzz.

Difficult?

It's plenty impossible, and they're getting mighty nasty about it.

And by the way, Fuzz, there was a fella in town looking for you.

Yeah?

Who is he?

He said his name was Matt Brawley.

Oh, I ain't got no trouble with that.

Who'd you say?

Matt Brawley.

Matt Brawley?

Holy smokes.

I'm making tracks for Cherokee.

They ain't much of a town,

but I'd rather be alive there than dead any place else.

Come back here.

Now, we got work to do.

Fuzz, I got an idea.

Listen to me.

And when we go back there, you see...

What's the matter?

Looks like we've hit the jackpot.

You can be a big help to us in the business deal.

Why should I help you in the business deal?

Because I say so.

Your voice sounds familiar.

You were one of the men that held up the stage.

Maybe I wasn't, maybe I wasn't, but what I say still goes.

You're coming with us.

You must be crazy if you think you can get away with this.

Let me worry about that.

You just keep quiet and do as you're told.

First thing we've got to do is find a way to tie Steve Kerby in with that gang

before we track down on him.

We can't leave her there, Fuzz.

I thought I was going to get out of here with a whole skim.

My luck's petered out on me.

Would you like to clam on your horse and hightail it out of here?

Yes.

We ain't going to do it.

Good.

Let's go back to work.

Where is that tin -horn imitation of a madman?

You mean Matt Brawley?

There's the real Matt Brawley.

Did he play us for suckers?

That won't make no difference in a little while.

Where is he?

What?

There's a suppose.

He didn't come down through here.

Show him to me.

What did you bring me here for?

We got an idea.

We'd like to go in and express business,

and you could persuade your father to need to play some with us.

He'll never do that.

He might, if he gets worried enough about you.

Now go on upstairs.

We'll see if you stay nice and cozy.

We can't find him.

He's gone.

That's not so good.

You're telling me.

Well, keep searching for him.

You come with me, Joe.

Get in there.

That fellow on the loose, he might do some talking.

What won't do us no good?

And with her on her hands, this place ain't safe no more.

I say we'd better get out.

Well, maybe so, but we'd better make sure at first that we can't find him.

He might still be hanging around here somewhere.

Sit down.

We'll make sure that you don't do a disappearing act.

Now, you remember what I told you.

Yeah.

And that may be your last words.

You're mine, I...

You must have seen me when I rode up and crawled in a hole someplace.

Let's go get it.

Well, Matt, it looks like he got away,

but we'd better go back to the roost and move out.

Get the girl!

She's upstairs!

Hey, I'll have you out of here in a jiffy, huh?

I.

I'll be back in a minute.

Take a look upstairs at the girl got away.

Stay here I'm going on that way and they look around outside.

There, hold it!

Get out !

All right.

You're just in time, Fuzz.

Nice work.

Hey, you didn't do so bad yourself.

Hey, come out around the corner.

I got something I wanted to show you.

All right, get, move out.

Hey!

Get me out of here!

Hey, somebody!

Hey!

Get me out of here!

Cut me down!

He'll look yourself from this angle.

Something's out of here.

All right.

I'll cut you down.

These are the boys that had so much fun robbing stages, Jen.

Took a little bit of sweating,

but Vic has agreed to tell us all about the plans to wreck your business.

This town's sure going to be surprised to find out who was in the back of the

whole thing.

Go on, Vic.

Tell them about it.

Sure, I'll tell you.

Why shouldn't he swing to the rest of us?

The man behind this whole thing is...

Hey, I know you don't know you.

Get back there before I climb up to snow all over you.

Hello, it was Steve Kirby.

Yeah, I guess he won't be causing you any more trouble.

I'll be saying it by.

You're not leaving, are you?

You know, Fuzzy caused me a lot of worry when he starts wandering around.

He's my mind plenty to see him stay back in Cherokee.

Here's your tough killer, Sheriff.

Took me a little longer than I expected, but I've hooked him back.

You know, I'm just wasting my time here in Cherokee.

I should go someplace where I could spread out and be important.

Hold it.

Sure, spread out in a hurry.

I'll let you know if you ever get to be important.

So long, Sheriff. So long
