00:20 That guy.
00:21 [music]
00:27 So nice to have made your acquaintance, Mr. Appleby. Goodbye.
00:30 Thank you, Miss Cynthia. I hope you find your parents well.
00:33 And give my regards to Senator Clybourne.
00:36 Yes, I'll tell him.
00:37 We leave for Gainesville in an hour, miss.
00:39 Oh, thank you.
00:40 Metcalf, mister. You got an aught?
00:42 Oh, yes.
00:44 Thank you.
00:45 [music]
00:52 Three-seven.
00:53 That's a dollar fifty you owe me now.
00:55 No kidding.
00:57 Excuse me, Sheriff.
00:58 My name is Appleby, Sheridan Appleby.
01:01 I'm looking for a Mr. Curly Bill Brocious.
01:04 Are you? So is half the state.
01:07 Curly and his boys pulled another job over to Gainesville.
01:09 Shot a couple of men.
01:11 Cut.
01:12 Bowled up in his place in San Rimas again, I'd guess.
01:15 Oh.
01:17 Well, in that case, I would like to hire a guide to take me there.
01:21 Why did you say you wanted to see Curly Bill?
01:24 Well, I have to find him and take his gun away from him.
01:27 Well, I've got work to do, Josh. I'll see you later.
01:34 And if you bring Curly Bill back, I'll give you a medal.
01:37 [music]
01:40 [music]
02:04 Mr. Randall?
02:06 What's the matter with the Sheriff?
02:09 Oh, he's just a little nervous about Bill Brocious.
02:11 They're trying to send out some deputies to bring him in from San Rimos.
02:14 Town can't spare him.
02:16 Well, now, would you know where to find Mr. Brocious?
02:20 Well, I know that part of the country pretty well.
02:23 [music]
02:32 A friend of yours?
02:34 No.
02:35 Oh, we were on the stagecoach together, yes.
02:40 Now, Mr. Randall...
02:44 Mr. Randall?
02:47 Hmm?
02:48 Would you mind if we talk some business?
02:51 Well, it depends.
02:53 Well, I'm willing to give you $100 cash
02:57 if you will agree to lead me to Mr. Brocious.
03:00 $100?
03:02 Hmm. Whiskey?
03:05 Oh, hard liquor. No. No.
03:08 Would you happen to have some bottle soda?
03:11 Uh, no.
03:14 Well, they do have it quite a few places now, further east.
03:19 I'll have a beer then, please.
03:24 Bottle soda?
03:26 Yes.
03:31 Well, you see, I'm a salesman.
03:33 Gun salesman. Handguns mostly.
03:36 As a matter of fact, I've been noticing yours.
03:38 It's really quite interesting.
03:40 Yes, well, you see, about two months ago,
03:43 I received a shipment of guns, 12 revolvers altogether,
03:46 and I'd already sold five when I discovered that there was a defect.
03:49 You see, there was a flaw in the casting of the cylinder.
03:53 Oh, they'd fire all right, but after time, they'd blow up.
03:58 So, anyway, when I discovered this, I started retrieving the guns as well as I could,
04:02 and I actually got back all of them except for one.
04:06 Mr. Brocious?
04:08 [ Laughs ]
04:10 And you want me to take you up there so you can get the gun back from him?
04:12 Uh, yes, that's right.
04:14 Oh, you're crazy.
04:16 Uh, why?
04:18 Well, now, listen, if the man wants to go ahead and blow his head off with that thing,
04:20 I don't think the people around here want me to stop him.
04:23 [ Chuckles ]
04:25 $200.
04:27 You know, I don't understand you at all.
04:29 Mr. Randall, I sold that gun, and I stand behind the quality.
04:34 Now, uh, if you don't want to accompany me, naturally, I'll have to go alone.
04:38 But it does seem to me that, um, $200 is a lot of money.
04:44 How well do you know Bill Brocious?
04:46 I've done business with him on two previous occasions.
04:48 Well, listen to me. I know him. I've known him for a long time.
04:50 Now, he might give you back that gun with no trouble at all.
04:52 Then again, he might just blow your head off.
04:54 Now, it seems to me that $200 isn't very much money for getting shot up.
04:57 Uh, Mr. Randall, I'm sure you'll be encouraged to know...
05:00 that if we should run into any trouble, I'm quite capable of handling a gun.
05:05 Mm-hmm.
05:07 I sell guns, and you see, it's necessary for me to be able to use my merchandise.
05:13 As a matter of fact, I dare say that I can draw a pistol quite as fast as you can use that.
05:19 Now, look, Appleby, I'm quite sure you can handle a gun.
05:22 But I think you've got a lot to learn about the customers you do business with. You hear me?
05:25 You do.
05:27 All right.
05:30 Now, you, um, are fast, aren't you?
05:41 He's fast.
05:43 Now, if I beat you to the draw, will you accept my offer and lead me to Mr. Brocious?
05:50 Uh, $200?
05:53 $200.
05:55 Yeah? And, uh, if I beat you?
05:58 You keep the $200 anyway.
06:01 ( whistling )
06:02 Well, uh, see, the $200 right here.
06:05 There is $200.
06:08 There.
06:10 All right.
06:17 ( whistling )
06:19 ( music playing )
06:22 Uh-huh. That ought to be close enough.
06:45 Oh? Close enough for what?
06:48 Well, a light little fire. Maybe it'll get their attention.
06:51 Go up here and take a look-see.
06:53 If I'd have been alone, I wouldn't have known what to do.
07:11 I'm, uh, certainly glad you decided to come along.
07:15 I was kind of afraid not to. You know, the way you draw that gun of yours.
07:19 ( chuckles )
07:21 Oh, I've always loved guns.
07:24 I used to even dream of maybe someday getting to be a marshal or a sheriff.
07:29 What would stop you?
07:32 No one would take me seriously.
07:34 Only way that I could convince them was to shoot them.
07:37 I don't know. Somehow, it just didn't seem to be worth it.
07:40 So, uh, you decided to sell guns, huh?
07:42 Mm-hmm.
07:44 Listen, I'm getting a little hungry, you know.
07:46 You got this fire. Why don't we eat? What do you say?
07:48 There's some stuff in that saddlebag right there.
07:50 All right. How about that?
08:09 Well, what do you think?
08:11 I think we've been here long enough.
08:15 But why didn't they come?
08:17 I don't know. What do you say you and I ride over and take a look, huh?
08:20 All right.
08:38 Say, uh, you mind if I ask you something?
08:41 No. What?
08:43 You do much business with men like Brochus?
08:46 With, uh, outlaws, you mean?
08:50 Yes. Yes, I suppose you'd say I do.
08:55 You, uh-- You think that's right?
08:58 I don't see why not.
09:04 You know, there's a lot of men in this part of the country walking around free.
09:07 Only because there's enough people to catch them.
09:10 I don't know what kind of a man Brochus was.
09:13 What kind of silly of you to sell him a gun, wasn't it?
09:16 Well, I'm afraid that I don't see it your way.
09:18 If a man is walking about the streets free,
09:21 I don't think I'm supposed to judge him.

09:47 [ Engine Starts ]
10:14 Who did it?
10:16 The man's dead.
10:30 And he hasn't been dead very long, either.
10:33 Who do you think did it?
10:35 You got an idea. It's your friend you sold that gun to.
10:39 That's why he didn't come up and check that fire of ours.
10:44 [ Birds Chirping ]
10:46 I better get that coach back to town.
10:48 What about Mr. Brochus?
10:50 He's gonna go anywhere where I can't find him.
10:52 But look, we can't be of any help here now.
10:54 We've come too far to go back.
10:56 Besides, you agreed to do this job.
10:59 You can't back off.
11:01 Look, Appleby, I've lived in this country all my life.
11:05 I got a feeling right now I'm getting into trouble I got no business in.
11:09 You don't owe me a cent, 'cause it's as far as I go.
11:13 All right, then.
11:15 [ Speaking Spanish ]
11:27 We're gonna have some fun.
11:29 Cool.
11:31 [ Engine Starts ]
11:33 [ Whistles ]
11:57 [ Whistles ]
11:59 I'll tell you something.
12:25 I think you're crazy.
12:27 Then maybe I am, too.
12:29 So I'll just ride along with you, peace.
12:32 Let's go.
12:34 How far do you think we have to go?
12:48 [ Gunshot ]
12:50 Hold it right there.
12:53 [ Gunshot ]
12:55 Not far.
12:59 Why you been following us?
13:12 Well, uh, we weren't following you, mister.
13:14 That's right. We were just leaving our camp when we heard the shots.
13:17 We rode down to find out what it was about.
13:19 So you were the ones making the smoke, huh?
13:22 Uh-huh.
13:24 I don't know if you're lying or not, but it don't make no difference.
13:28 Get moving.
13:30 Randall, I just thought of something.
13:41 Yeah, I know, but we're just a little bit late.
13:43 No, no, it's about the stagecoach.
13:46 Shut up, you two, and keep moving.
13:49 [ Engine Starts ]
14:16 This way.
14:18 Keep moving.
14:40 Don't you worry, Mr. Randall.
14:42 As soon as I see Mr. Brochus, everything will be fine.
14:44 Oh, I'll bet it will. Yeah.
14:47 You two find yourself a sitting place over there.
14:55 Go on!
14:57 Now, just a minute. I think I've had about enough of you, mister.
15:01 I insist upon seeing Mr. Brochus.
15:03 You do, huh?
15:05 You're a real sassy dude, aren't you?
15:09 Fancy hat and all.
15:11 That's right, dude. Hold on to her.
15:13 All right, you've gone too far this time.
15:15 I demand to see Mr. Brochus this instant.
15:18 You do, huh?
15:20 Well, okay, dude.
15:22 You'll just get your demand.
15:24 Sit down!
15:26 Watch that.
15:29 [ Engine Starts ]
15:31 Uh, Mr. Randall,
15:46 I, uh, was trying to tell you on the trail...
15:49 I know about the stagecoach and why they shot it up.
15:52 Cynthia Clybourne.
15:57 Who?
15:59 The senator's daughter.
16:01 She's the girl we saw in the lobby.
16:04 Well, um, she was on that stagecoach,
16:07 and, uh, I think they're holding her.
16:09 Well, that's just fine.
16:13 That's just great.
16:15 Why?
16:17 Now, look, as long as Brochus keeps to this nickel-and-dime rivalry,
16:19 you know, the law isn't gonna bother him too much.
16:21 But the senator's daughter, what?
16:23 I mean, they're gonna have the whole army up here.
16:25 Listen, Appleby,
16:27 don't go telling Brochus you know about the girl, huh?
16:30 Hey, shut up, you two.
16:34 What are we gonna do?
16:43 There they are, Curly.
16:53 Well, if it ain't my old friend the drummer, huh?
16:57 Now, who tied these men up?
16:59 Come on, cut 'em loose.
17:01 I turned my back for a couple of hours
17:03 and come back and find my friend laced up like a boot.
17:06 Uh, who?
17:08 Uh, his name is Josh Randall.
17:10 He's been serving as my guide.
17:12 Thought I recognized you, Mr. Randall.
17:14 It's been about six years ago.
17:18 Heard a lot about you.
17:20 Yeah, well, I've heard a lot about you, too.
17:22 Read in one of those little posters I wager.
17:25 That what you come looking for me?
17:27 Nope. Glad to hear it.
17:30 I remember when you went looking for my friend Pete Clooney.
17:33 Sure glad you ain't looking for me like that.
17:36 Well, come on, let's have some coffee and get the kinks out.
17:41 Come on, Mr. Randall, sit down right over there.
17:44 Now, you gotta forgive the boys.
17:50 They ain't been couraged yet,
17:52 and they ain't got their party manners.
17:54 I guess I'd better get started if I'm gonna deliver that message.
18:00 Yeah, you do that.
18:02 Well, now, what brings you up this way?
18:09 Well, it's about that gun that I sold you a few weeks ago.
18:13 Tell me, uh, do you still have it?
18:15 Yeah, why?
18:17 Ah, good, good. Well, I'd like to buy it back from you.
18:20 I'm afraid it's defective.
18:22 What's wrong with it?
18:23 Well, you see, there was a flaw in the machining of the cylinder.
18:25 Oh, it will work quite all right for a while,
18:27 but sooner or later it will explode.
18:30 No good, huh?
18:33 That's right.
18:34 I was lucky I didn't have to use it much.
18:36 Yes.
18:37 Well, now, I can either give you back your money,
18:39 or if you prefer, I can allow you to choose another gun from my case.
18:44 Now, that's what I call taking real good care of the trade.
18:48 Toby, bring that case.
18:50 Now, this here's what I call a fine gent.
18:54 Thank you.
18:56 Very well.
18:58 Now, this one...
19:04 This one looks pretty good.
19:12 Yes, that's one of my finest models.
19:16 Yeah, I like this one.
19:24 Well, it's a bit more expensive than the other,
19:26 but I'm willing to absorb the loss.
19:28 And I can assure you, Mr. Brochess,
19:31 nothing like this will ever happen again.
19:34 I'm sure it won't.
19:40 Go ahead, have some more coffee.
19:42 Sorry, but we really got to be getting back.
19:44 Oh, I was kind of hoping you'd stay the night.
19:48 Get a good start in the morning.
19:50 Thank you, but I have some business in town.
19:52 I guess that we can't hold you up.
19:55 The only thing about it is we get bears.
20:04 They come right up at night, make a lot of racket.
20:07 Yeah, well, that could be dangerous.
20:10 Help!
20:12 Not if you know how to handle them.
20:15 Well, I guess you'll be wanting to get going.
20:18 Tobin, get the horses.
20:20 Now, you sure you can't stay?
20:26 Thank you very much, but no.
20:29 Now, you didn't really think
20:34 old Bill was going to let you get away from here, did you?
20:37 You're kind of stupid of me.
20:39 Turn you loose and let you lead the sheriff right back here.
20:42 And tell him who kidnapped Miss Clyburn.
20:44 You know about her, huh?
20:48 Now, mind, we didn't come up here intending to betray you.
20:51 We came up here to help you.
20:53 You came up here because you were afraid
20:55 if something would happen to me with this gun,
20:58 me or my boys would come looking for you.
21:01 I like you. I want to keep you around.
21:04 More than I can say for you, Mr. Bounty Hunter.
21:07 I'm warning you not to do that.
21:09 [ Laughs ]
21:11 Put your guns away or I'll shoot.
21:20 I'm warning you, I mean what I say.
21:22 Why, you little runt.
21:24 That peep-opper of yours has only got one bullet
21:26 and you wouldn't know what to do with that.
21:28 I'm an expert shot, and the first man to disobey me will find that out.
21:31 Put your guns away.
21:33 He's got to be kidding.
21:35 No?
21:37 No, he ain't means it.
21:39 You better do like he says.

22:31 [ Suspenseful music plays ]
22:40 [ Indistinct chatter ]
22:42 Well, come on, gunslinger.
22:47 I'm gonna buy you a drink.
22:49 You know, Mr. Randall, I've been thinking.
22:54 I've sold many bad guns in my life.
22:56 Every time I've done business with a man like Mr. Brochus.
22:59 It's not that the guns are so bad, you know.
23:01 It's the people who use them.
23:03 Hey, you know, that's a real pretty girl over there.
23:08 Well, I've sold my last bad gun.
23:10 Have a whiskey.
23:13 Say, you're the guy that wanted soda pop.
23:16 Funny thing is, a drummer came by today.
23:18 I got you some.
23:20 Whiskey, please.
23:22 The man that brought in Curly Bill Brochus...
23:28 ought to be able to order what he wants to drink.
23:36 [ Chatter continues ]
23:38 Thank you.
