Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie, he was a bold adventurer man.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie, battled for right with a powerful hand.

His blade was tempered and so was he, indestructible steel was he.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie, he was a fighter, a fearless and mighty adventurer man.

Jim Bowie, already the name was beginning to be legendary along the trace,

that lonely dangerous wilderness road leading from the Ohio to Natchez on the Mississippi.

Wherever it was uttered, the name of Bowie brought strength to the weak,

honor to the brave, and struck terror to the hearts of the cruel and crafty.

Yes, Jim Bowie was a giant among men, but even giants get hungry, and Jim Bowie was no exception.

Well now, look at this.

You big ape.

Well, I'm sorry miss.

I had no idea miss.

What do you think you're doing anyway?

Well, you dress like a man, you're going to get treated like one.

What difference does that make? You can't go around attacking people.

You behave like a thief, you got to take your chances like a thief.

A thief?

Sure, that's my bird you're taking.

It most certainly is not, I shot it.

You shot it?

I did.

Well, I didn't hear two shots.

Well, that was a bird I aimed at.

Maybe, but it was my shot brought him down.

Don't you touch that bird, mister, or I'll shoot you for poaching. This is my land.

Your land? Well, who are you, the governor's lady?

I don't think that's any of your business who I am.

Well, when I meet a pretty woman like you, I at least like to know her name.

Get off my land right now.

Go on.

Yes, ma'am, but not without my duck.

I told you to stay away from here.

I must see Miss Regina.

She ain't here, now get out.

I don't believe you, Eddie.

No, you don't.

Wait a minute.

This is a question of life and death.

The doctor, I must see the doctor.

Dan, what are you doing to that man?

Oh, it's you, Mr. Gotshalk.

He says he wants a doctor.

My wife is sick.

She came to the door of the cabinet.

You went to my cabin?

Yes, I did.

I went to tell you to move.

I'm very sorry, naturally, but I still want you off my land.

But the land is not used except for hunting.

I thought it was all wilderness, free to all.

So why didn't you go look it up in the land office before you went ahead and built your cabin?

Miss, this is a new country for me.

I didn't know anything about land offices.

Honestly, I didn't understand.

Well, you understand now.

You'll have to move at least half a mile up the river.

All right.

I'll move it.

Just give me a few more days.

Miss, you are a woman.

My wife is going to have a baby.

After all these years of marriage, baby, she's very frightened and very sick.

Let me talk to the doctor.

No.

Look, all I want to ask, with the baby, if it's my wife, don't you let me talk to him?

No, I will not.

And if you're not off my property by tomorrow noon, I'll have to go to the doctor.

I don't like fighting.

But if you try to put me out of my home when my wife is sick, I'll beat you.

All right, then I'll burn you out.

Now go on and get out of here.

You really aim to burn him out, Miss Regina?

Well, that's what you've been advising me to do, isn't it?

It's the only way to treat squatters, ma'am.

All right, I want him off my land by tomorrow.

Take care of it.

Drop the gun.

Drop the gun.

I have another shot.

Drop the gun.

Who are you?

Why didn't you ask that before you shot?

Just a warning.

I thought it was someone else.

Yeah, I thought it was someone else, too.

I thought you were a girl dressed in buckskin.

Miss Regina, do you know her?

Slightly.

She stole a bird of mine, and I aim to get it right now.

Wait.

Don't go in there.

Johan?

It's me, Katrin.

You feeling better?

It's my wife.

She's very sick.

I'm, uh, I'm sorry, sir.

I made a mistake.

I was sure you had something to do with that girl in buckskin.

I thought you were the man whom she

sent to put me off the land.

No.

No, my name's Jim Boyd.

I'm from Opelousa.

Please.

I'm Johan Gottschalk from Austria.

Why does she want to put you off the land?

It's her land.

I didn't know when I came here.

It's all a part of the great Bienbau plantation,

tiny corner.

Bienbau, huh?

She wants to put you off.

That why you took a shot at me?

Yeah.

I'll move all right, but not at once.

You've seen my wife.

I can't move her in her condition.

Why don't you have a talk with the girl?

I did.

She wouldn't listen.

She's a selfish woman.

She sure is.

How about her father?

He's dead.

It's she who decides now.

Regina.

Regina Bienbau.

Yeah, I heard that name.

Johan.

Excuse me.

I'm here, darling.

If only there were a doctor for the baby's sake.

Oh, and for you.

Don't worry.

I don't think it will be long now.

Rest, Regina.

She's afraid.

She's not the only one.

Well, you know, um, baby's been getting born a long time.

It's our firstborn.

Even if I would know what to do, she's ill.

She needs a doctor.

Well, let's get one.

The nearest is at St. James Parish.

It's impossible.

Maybe not.

I have a horse.

No, thank you.

There is a doctor close, only as far as the baby's

going to be, close, only as far as the Bienbau plantation.

Great, famous doctor, but he won't come here.

He won't come?

What's his name?

I think it's Beauchamp.

Beauchamp?

Of course.

That's where I've heard the name Bienbau.

Where are you going?

To the Bienbau plantation to get the doctor.

Thank you, but it's no use.

I've tried.

Don't you worry, Mr. Gottschalk.

I'll get him.

Where's the plantation?

Seven hours down the trace.

Then I'll be back in two hours with the doctor.

You just tell the baby to hold on till I get back.

Howdy.

Howdy.

I'm looking for Dr. Beauchamp.

No, sir.

I can't let nobody see.

Well, you tell him it's Jim Bowie from Opelousa.

He'll see me, all right?

I got my orders.

The doctor is not to be disturbed.

Well, I'll tell him myself.

No, sir.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

You're still insisting on that stupid duck?

Well, Miss, you didn't invite me to dinner,

so I came along anyway.

Any of my duck left?

You're a very rude man.

May be, but then it's not exactly polite

to kick a man in the pants and steal his bird.

At least that's my opinion.

We're not interested in your opinion, sir.

Now I must ask you to leave.

Not till I see the doctor, Miss Gamble.

You know who I am.

Yeah, I met Johann Gotschalk.

Oh, so that's why you're here.

Yeah, I met Johann Gotschalk.

Oh, so this is another one of Mr. Gotschalk's tricks.

I don't know about tricks, Miss,

but his wife's going to have a baby, and she's real sick.

Don't you believe it, Aunt Priscilla.

It's just an excuse for him to stay here on my land.

But if it was an excuse and she was to die,

how would you feel then?

I tell you I don't believe it.

But if you're wrong, you don't care, do you?

Get another doctor.

Dr. Beauchamp is here for a rest,

and he doesn't wish to be disturbed.

In that case, he doesn't deserve to be called doctor.

Gant, drive this man away.

Pleasure, ma'am.

Come on.

Hey, that's my game you're playing there.

Your horse is this way.

Oh, yeah.

What's going on here?

Stop that.

Be with you in a minute, Hank.

Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim.

Jim!

Now, look, you keep pulling a knife,

and someone's going to get hurt, you most likely.

Now, go on, get out of here.

Go on, get out.

Hello, Hank.

Jim, how are you?

Nice to see you.

I'm Jim, a doctor from the hospital.

I'm here to see Dr. Bacillus.

Yes, sir.

His family and I are old friends.

We've met, Hank.

Jim, what's all this about?

Well, there's a lady up the trace away

who's going to have a baby, and she's mighty sick.

When I heard you were here, I came for help.

Surely you can get another doctor.

There's none close enough, miss.

But what about my guest?

Miss Bacillus is right, Jim.

It would be a little inconvenient for me

to get away right now.

After all, the party is in my honor.

And it's going to save a life, Hank.

I'm sorry, Miss Bacillus.

After all, I am a doctor, and Miss DeBowie

had to remind me of it.

It's been a long time since I delivered a baby, Jim.

I may not remember how.

It'll come back to you.

May I borrow a horse?

Of course, James.

You know, Miss Regina, a woman would be a great help too.

Yes, she would.

You don't expect me to go there.

You're a woman, aren't you?

It'd be a great help, Regina.

Or do you belong in Buckskin?

My horse too, James.

Mr. Koshak, here's the doctor.

Doctor.

How do you do, sir?

How are you?

Katrina.

Doctor.

The famous doctor.

You'll be all right now.

Sit down here, doctor.

Sit down.

I didn't think you can do it, Mr. Bowie.

I told you.

Miss Biondot.

She's come to help too.

Did you hear that, Katrina?

She's here to help.

Doctor, I'll make the bed now, and you'll have a cold.

This is not a cold, doctor.

This is a fever.

A fever.

He's a drunkard.

He's a comfort to have, the woman.

Has there been much pain?

Much pain.

It does not let up.

Well, the labor started.

I don't think it'll be long now.

We'd better get ready.

Well, you'll have to tell me what to do, doctor.

Mr. Boy, get some hot water.

Keep the fire going, we can't let the room get cold.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll take it.

No, I'll take it.

I'll take it.

You take it.

I'll take it.

You men go and sit down, it's a woman's job.

Yes, ma'am.

You take it.

You take it.

Damn it!

Why does it take so long?

I don't know, I never had one.

Take this flannel and warm it.

I'll take it.

I have to do something.

Sit down, Miss Regina.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

No, thank you, I'll be fine.

Why are you standing here? You don't seem to be helping much.

Of course I am.

I'm the Indian medicine man.

I'm protecting her from evil spirits.

You mean me?

Maybe.

Maybe.

I can't stand it anymore.

Another cup won't hurt you.

The coffee, the waiting.

Go outside and take a walk.

I can't, my legs wobble.

They do.

Here we are.

You take care of her.

What happened?

What was it?

It was a boy.

I was a lot of help.

Are you sure it's a boy?

You'll have plenty of chances to make sure for yourself.

Katrina.

A little trouble.

The doctor is still with her.

She's still with her.

Are you okay, Miss Regina?

Yes, I'm fine.

The sun is up.

It's been a long night.

The longest in my life.

Please God, I don't want to lose her.

I can't.

He's a good doctor, Johan.

Johan, the cabin is on fire.

The cabin is on fire.

Oh no, I forgot about Gant.

You said you'd help me.

Are those your men?

I didn't mean to...

I might have known.

Johan, cover me.

You guys stand here.

I'll go to the other side.

I'll go to the other side.

I'll go to the other side.

You guys stand here.

I can't see anything.

Just fire the wagon when I go.

Are you ready?

Yes.

Take care of this.

No.

Don't smoke.

No! No, don't!

Why not? You're gonna kill us.

No!

All right.

Gant, get on your feet.

Come on, get up!

Why, Miss Regina, what are you doing here?

Never mind, Gant. Just clear out of here.

You go as far and as fast as you can and don't you ever come back.

But you said...

Well, Miss Regina, he was just carrying out your orders, wasn't he?

That's right. It was her idea.

Believe me, I'm sorry.

But you were helping my wife and then do a thing like that.

Why? I don't understand.

I said I was sorry.

I never intended for Gant to go through with it.

Well, if it was a bluff, if it was a dangerous one,

you almost got caught in your own trap.

I said I was sorry!

What do you want me to do?

Get on my knees and beg you to forgive me?

I'm not asking for forgiveness. I don't deserve it.

You can stay on the land, Mr. Godshark.

I'll give you title to it if you'll stay.

You mean, land?

I don't know what to say.

Mr. Godshark! Jim!

You got your orders. Get going.

Your wife's over the west, Mr. Godshark.

I think she's going to be all right.

Captain.

I am ashamed, Doctor.

I have no money to pay you right now, but...

I like to say what I say to Miss Regina and Mr. Bowie.

Thank you very much.

God bless you.

Your hand. Just do me one favor.

Anything you say, Mr. Bowie.

Call him Jim.

Oh.

Well, I guess it's time to say goodbye.

Oh, must you?

I'll be needing a new overseer soon, and I thought that...

No, I wouldn't be much good as your overseer.

I've been spending too much time around the boss.

You wouldn't find me complaining.

Well, that's tempting.

I guess this is where I say goodbye.

Goodbye, Regina.

For now.

Goodbye, Hank.

Goodbye, Jim.

Say hello to your mother in reason.

Yes, I'll do that.

Hey, Jim!

Yeah?

I thought you might just like to know...

there were two bullets in that dustbin.

There were two bullets in that duck.

Then I'll owe you an apology.

You're quite a woman, Regina.

Yes, ma'am, quite a woman.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie.

Jim Bowie, Jim Bowie.
