00:00The following footage is from our vault of classics, taken ten years after its release.
00:21Jessup!
00:24Jessup!
00:25All right, all right.
00:27Oh, it's you, Marshal. You want your horse? I got them turned out and back.
00:31I want to ask you a question.
00:33You call that a reason for getting me out of bed at this hour of the night?
00:36You haven't heard the question yet.
00:38Did a stranger come by here tonight, riding a black horse with a box saddle brand?
00:42Yeah, you want to see the animal?
00:44The man.
00:45Well, you might try the hotel. That's the way he was heading the last time I saw him.
00:50You stay here, Marty.
00:52If he comes for his horse, be sure you shoot first.
00:54You come with me, Linus.
00:58All right, Randall. Put your clothes on.
01:00Give his gun, Linus.
01:02Randall, you're under arrest.
01:04With what?
01:05Horse stealing.
01:08You're crazy.
01:13You riding a black horse with a box saddle brand?
01:15Yes, sir.
01:16Mister, in this part of the country, there's only two things you can get hung for.
01:20Stealing a man's horse or stealing his wife.
01:22In that order. Now get out of bed.
01:24Yes, sir.
01:53The End
02:06Good morning.
02:07Morning.
02:09Marshal Thompson?
02:10What can I do for you, son?
02:11I'm Jason Nichols, Deputy Sheriff out of Virginia City.
02:14Glad to know you.
02:15Glad to know you too.
02:16I sent you a telegraph message yesterday.
02:18Oh, yeah. We got your man locked up.
02:20I appreciate that, Marshal.
02:21We always try to cooperate with the other peace officers in the state.
02:25Cause you any trouble?
02:26Well, not what you really call trouble, but he sure was mad.
02:30Yeah, I imagine.
02:32Can I talk to him?
02:34Why, sure. Right through there.
02:36Thank you.
02:37You can't miss him. He's the only prisoner I got.
02:40Oh, say, uh, would you mind keeping an eye on the office for a few minutes?
02:43I'll be glad to.
02:44I'll be across the street in the restaurant getting the prisoner's breakfast.
02:47You go right ahead. I'll take care of everything.
02:49Why, thanks.
02:58Can you shut that dog up, please? I'm trying to sleep.
03:01He's just trying to tell you he's glad to see you again.
03:07What are you doing here?
03:09I heard you locked up.
03:10I thought you'd need somebody to make your bail.
03:13You heard?
03:14Yeah.
03:15Well, it's funny, cause they just arrested me last night.
03:18So that means you rode a hundred miles in four hours to bail me out, huh?
03:23Well, I was in the area.
03:25What area?
03:27You must have dropped this the night you left Virginia City.
03:30And I figured you'd need it.
03:33Well, the way I understood it was that we was to be partners.
03:36So I packed up and came down here to help you.
03:39That's all.
03:40Came down here to help you.
03:41Came down here to help you.
03:43You wouldn't have anything to do with this horse stealing business now, would you?
03:46I might have mentioned something about somebody stealing a horse.
03:50I didn't point a finger at you.
03:54Josh.
03:57This is Billy Joe Henry.
03:58And I figured if I picked him up, I could prove that I could ride with you.
04:03So you just had me thrown in jail?
04:05Well, how could I prove anything with you walking around?
04:08Last minute you might step in and blow up any plans I made.
04:12Like Billy Joe Henry's right here in Ledge now.
04:15You almost overrode him completely.
04:18See, uh, just out of curiosity, do you know Billy Joe Henry?
04:22No, but I figure he's just like any other killer.
04:25I'll be able to handle him.
04:27Oh.
04:28Hmm?
04:29Go ahead.
04:30You mean you're not sore?
04:32No, no, no.
04:33You see, I know him.
04:34And I know all his brothers.
04:35Known him for a long time.
04:36As a matter of fact, I buried Eddie Henry.
04:38But, uh, you believe me when I tell you that Billy Joe Henry is, uh,
04:41very fast with a gun, knows his business.
04:43You figure you can take him?
04:44You take him.
04:46Well, I didn't think you'd take it like this.
04:48You didn't, huh?
04:50No.
04:51I figured you'd be sore.
04:53No, no, no.
04:54But you could do me a favor.
04:56On your way out, you be sure and tell the sheriff now that I didn't steal that horse.
04:59See, so if anything happens to you, it ain't gonna keep me in here for the rest of my life.
05:03And, uh,
05:04I dropped that horse a little bit, in tight, real tight.
05:07Billy Joe Henry's very fast.
05:10So long.
05:12Come on, dog.
05:19When are you gonna turn him loose?
05:21Probably this afternoon.
05:22The deputy from Virginia City's here.
05:25When you find out when they're gonna leave, yeah?
05:29Well, why?
05:31Because I wanna know.
05:34Now, listen, Billy.
05:35Don't put me on the spot. I told you.
05:37You and your brothers can do what you want outside town.
05:39But this is mine.
05:40Don't push me.
05:43You've already made one mistake by locking Randall up.
05:46Don't make another.
05:48Now, you find out when they plan to leave.
05:50Why do you wanna know?
05:52I got a little party planned for Mr. Randall.
05:54Billy.
05:55Now, you run along and do what you're told.
05:58What happens if I say no?
06:00Then I tell you that my brothers are riding in.
06:02Do you like this town?
06:03Do you wanna keep it?
06:05Well, then you better do what you're told.
06:06Because if you don't, me and Homer and Rance
06:08are gonna pull it down around your head.
06:10Only you won't care.
06:12Now, that's simple enough for even you to understand, ain't it?
06:32Thank you.
06:39Thanks for watching the office.
06:40That's my pleasure.
06:42When are you gonna take him back?
06:44Oh, probably sometime in the morning.
06:45My horse threw a shoe on the way up here
06:47and I gotta get him shod.
06:48I can use a night's rest, too.
06:50Uh-huh. Well, see you in the morning, then.
06:52Have him ready to travel.
06:53You better check with him before you take that in.
06:55He said he was gonna get some sleep.
06:58He's gonna eat it all, he'll wake up.
07:00I'm not running a boarding house.
07:02Would you break that to him gently?
07:03Why?
07:05Right now, he thinks different.
07:07Let's go, Doc.
07:08Come on.
07:16Well, you didn't mention that you were a deputy, Mr. Nichols.
07:19Otherwise, I'd have made a special effort to see to it
07:21that your horse was shod and ready to go.
07:24As it is, I'm afraid you're not gonna be able to get him until nightfall.
07:27Well, uh...
07:29How'd you find out I was a deputy sheriff?
07:30Oh, well, Marshal Thompson, he dropped by.
07:33Said something about you having to take a prisoner back to Virginia City.
07:36Wondered when you were leaving.
07:38Well, that was thoughtful of him.
07:41I'll pick up the horse sometime this evening.
07:42Sure.
08:01Pour a beer for my friend.
08:03Your friend?
08:05My dad always said a dog is a man's best friend.
08:08He doesn't like to see me drink alone.
08:10Oh.
08:31Excuse me, mister. How old is this dog?
08:34I never ask him, ma'am.
08:36Looks like he's too young to drink.
08:38I'll be glad to take him outside.
08:40I think we'll let him stay. He's sort of cute.
08:43I'm glad you dropped in, Mr. Nichols.
08:46My name sure gets around.
08:48Well, news travels fast in a small town.
08:50We don't get many strangers here.
08:52You staying long?
08:53Another hour or so.
08:55I'll be back in a minute.
08:56Not many strangers here. You staying long?
08:58Another hour or so.
09:00Don't you like our town?
09:02Well, right up to now, I haven't given it much thought.
09:05Then why leave so soon?
09:07A little matter of business.
09:09I can always come back, though.
09:11I'll be looking forward to that, cowboy.
09:13Come on, dog.
09:27He's leaving in an hour or so.
09:30But we'll be back.
09:32Let him go. He's done no harm to you.
09:35Well, I'm going to see to it he doesn't.
09:37He's just a kid.
09:39He'll be fine.
09:41He'll be fine.
09:43He'll be fine.
09:45He'll be fine.
09:47He'll be fine.
09:49He'll be fine.
09:51He'll be fine.
09:53He'll be fine.
09:54He's just a kid.
09:56Well, when they bury him, they're going to use a man-sized box.
09:59How come he's so important to you?
10:01No reason. I just don't see why he has to be killed, that's all.
10:05He's carrying a gun.
10:07He might be standing next to Randall when he gets his.
10:10And I don't want anything in the way.
10:12Well, all right. So you'll let him go, too.
10:14Well, you see, that's against my plan.
10:17I was going to show this whole town what a big blowhard Josh Randall is.
10:20And then I'm going to rip that yellow streak right out his back.
10:24Oh, you talk like the whole United States Army.
10:28Well, honey, when we get through with Mr. Randall,
10:31he's going to wish the whole U.S. Army rode over him instead of us.
10:50Let's go.
11:20Who is it?
11:22Panama. From the saloon.
11:27Well, I didn't expect to see you so soon.
11:29When are you leaving?
11:31As soon as I get Randall's stuff packed.
11:33Which way are you going?
11:35Why?
11:36There are only two roads out of town. Which one are you taking?
11:38First, suppose you tell me why you're so interested.
11:40Take the road south.
11:42There's only one thing wrong with that.
11:44What's that?
11:45It's not the road I want to take.
11:47Look, I ought to see a doctor for being here.
11:48If you want to get out of this town standing up straight,
11:50take the road south.
11:52Now, you gave me some advice.
11:54Suppose you give me a reason.
11:56The reason is Billy Joe Henry.
11:59I appreciate your concern.
12:01But I can take care of Henry.
12:03As a matter of fact, that was one of the things I was going to do
12:05before I left your charming little town.
12:07He has help. His two brothers home are in Rance.
12:09Where are they?
12:11I don't know. They're out to get Randall.
12:13Not if I have anything to say about it.
12:15Do you talk well with a bullet in your throat?
12:16Why are you telling me this?
12:18I don't know. Just be thankful I am.
12:21I am thankful.
12:27Well, that's no way to show it.
12:29Now, you get out of town and do it fast
12:31before I take a gun to you myself.
12:47Take it easy going back now.
12:49All right, Marshal. Thanks again.
12:51Glad to oblige.
13:09Give him a gun, Jason.
13:11Now, Joss, there's something I want to talk to you about.
13:13Something's come up.
13:14Billy Joe Henry's in town.
13:16He's right here in Ledge.
13:18I saw him in the saloon.
13:20Give him the money, Jason.
13:24You know, I was thinking about what you said this afternoon.
13:27About Billy Joe and how he works and all.
13:31You're a hundred dollars short.
13:33Yeah, I had to give the Marshal something to keep you here.
13:35Come on now. Give him my money.
13:37I haven't got it.
13:38Now, look, misunderstand, sugar.
13:40I'm going to get on this horse
13:42and I'm going to ride out of town that way.
13:44And I want you to be a good deputy
13:46and I just want you to leave me alone.
13:48Billy Joe Henry's got his brothers with him.
13:50Word is that they're out to kill us.
13:52You know, what do you mean, us?
13:54You, me.
13:57For such a short amount of time, I don't see how...
14:00That's why I had to get you out of jail.
14:02I mean, I don't know how to go up against all three of them.
14:05You figure out a way.
14:06Well, I heard you did it before.
14:08Jason, not only were you not in the room
14:10when the brains were passed out,
14:12you were not even in the house.
14:14I'm sorry.
14:16It ain't going to help much when they start shooting at you.
14:19You have any idea where they are now?
14:21I don't know for sure, but they are here in town.
14:24I thought you told me you saw Billy Joe in a saloon.
14:26Yes, and I hear they're on the north end of town
14:28waiting for us.
14:30Where'd you get that?
14:32From a girl.
14:34Who?
14:36Panama, I don't know her last name.
14:38Blonde, pretty good looking,
14:40seemed like she'd been around a while.
14:42Yeah, that's her.
14:44This don't seem possible.
14:46What?
14:48That's Billy Joe's girlfriend.
14:50I'm sorry.
14:52You're wasting your time.
14:54You ought to have all these things printed up
14:56on little cards, hand them out to people.
14:58I made a mistake, what do you want me to do,
15:00blow my brains out?
15:02Well, Jason, the idea in this business
15:04is to try and stay alive.
15:06Why don't you go and talk to this fellow,
15:08see if I can't get him out of here in one piece.
15:10I still think you ought to tie that thing tight.
15:12If somebody ever wants you to go off there,
15:14you'd be stuck with it.
15:17What's he doing with the gun, Nichols?
15:19Well, I sort of made a little mistake.
15:24Turned out to be the wrong horse that was stolen.
15:26Say now, I'm sorry to hear about that, Mr. Randall.
15:29Hope there are no hard feelings.
15:31No, no, but did you know that Billy Joe Henry was in town?
15:34Not in the slightest idea.
15:36Yeah, him and his brothers.
15:38Word is that they're out after our heads.
15:40Why would they want to kill you?
15:43I saw his brother.
15:45Randall, I got a message for you.
15:49Where?
15:51Billy Joe Henry and his brothers want to see you.
15:53Where are they?
15:55Down at the stable.
15:57Well, you tell them if there's got to be a showdown,
15:59I'll pick the time and the place, okay?
16:01That don't matter to me.
16:03I had a message, I gave it to you.
16:04Thank you.
16:10What do we do now, Josh?
16:12I'd like to get out of town as fast as possible.
16:14Is there another door leading down here, Petition?
16:16No.
16:34You know, it seems like everybody in town
16:36knows about this but you.
16:38Well, I've been in here most of the day.
16:40You know, that's a good safe place to be.
16:42I'd just like to ask you one question.
16:44When the shooting starts,
16:46which way is that shotgun going to be pointing?
16:49Well, this is your fight, not mine.
16:52That'll do it.
16:54Let's go, Jason.
17:05What's the matter?
17:07It's a state bird.
17:09Let's see if he makes a move.
17:15No sign of him.
17:18There won't be until he's ready.
17:22Let's go.
17:24Let's go.
17:26Let's go.
17:28Let's go.
17:30Let's go.
17:32Let's go.
17:34Let's go.
17:41What did you do?
17:43Why are these things on?
17:45Randall?
17:47Josh Randall?
17:49I'm waiting for you, Randall.
17:51You gonna come down here?
17:54You're a coward, Randall.
17:56A stinking yellow coward.
17:58Your friend's a coward, too.
18:00Both of you.
18:02You ought to have brought a man with you
18:04to take it easy, Jason.
18:06That's exactly what he wants you to do.
18:08Get you mad enough, you walk out in the middle of that street
18:10and he'll blow your head off.
18:12Didn't any man ever talk to me like that?
18:14Learn to use it, my friend.
18:16As long as he's talking, you know where he is.
18:18A peach fuzz kid.
18:20That's all the boy lawman is.
18:22Take a look at the big Josh Randall, coward.
18:24And take a look at the kind of law
18:26they have up in Virginia City.
18:28Peach fuzz law.
18:30Jason.
18:32What do you want, Henry?
18:34Come out in the open and talk about me.
18:36Call me a liar to my face.
18:38You're the one that's yellow,
18:40hiding back there in the dark.
18:42Come on out, Billy Joe.
18:44Let's see how brave you are.
18:46Hey, Josh.
18:48He's out in the open.
18:52Josh?
18:54All right, big mouth, here I am.
18:56What's holding you up?
19:01What happened?
19:02Somebody steal your backbone when you weren't looking?
19:14Now, you boys wait.
19:16I want him down with one shot.
19:25I don't see Randall.
19:27Well, he's out there someplace.
19:29You watch for him.
19:30He's the one I want.
19:37Homer?
19:39Like fish in a barrel.
19:41You wait till I tell you.
19:43That bounty hunter ought to come out pretty quick.
19:47Where's your friend, lawman?
19:49Where's your yellow friend?
19:52He's gone.
19:54What do you mean, gone?
19:56He ran out.
19:57He ran out.
19:59Like you said, he's yellow.
20:02Well, then it's just you, peach fuzz.
20:06How do you want to die?
20:08You started it.
20:10Go ahead.
20:12Finish it.
20:14I'll get him in another step,
20:16then cut him down.
20:18You got it.
20:20Like a fish in a barrel.
20:22Come on in, boy.
20:24I don't want to wound you.
20:25You move.
20:40Now!
20:55Now!
21:26You can put away the gun, Jason.
21:31I thought you ran out on me.
21:34I thought about it.
21:36I thank you.
21:38But I didn't need you this time.
21:40I took on all three of them.
21:44Billy Joe.
21:46He's the one the bounty's on.
21:48He's the one the bounty's on.
21:50He's the one the bounty's on.
21:52He's the one the bounty's on.
21:53Billy Joe.
21:54He's the one the bounty's on.
21:56Yeah.
21:57He's the one the bounty's on.
21:59There's three dead men here.
22:01Another time, another place.
22:02They might have been taken alive.
22:04But you had to step out.
22:06So you collect the bounty.
22:08I hope you'll be able to sleep, Jason.
22:23I hope you'll be able to sleep, Jason.
22:34Josh.
22:37I'm sorry.
22:39So are they, Jason.
22:44I got the bounty money.
22:48Yeah?
22:50Half of it belongs to you.
22:53I mean, if it wasn't for you, I couldn't have collected it.
22:58Everything's gonna be the same in it, Josh.
23:02I mean, between us.
23:07Not now, it isn't.
23:08Couple of days.
23:13Couple of days, Jason.
23:23Let's go.
