Save your shells
Until they come
At us.
Let's go down
And get 'em before
There's too many of 'em.
Old man clanton's
A bigger fool than
I thought he was.
Apaches and soldiers to
Deal with, and all he can
Think about is getting at us.
I've been waiting
A long time to get earp
In a spot like this.
We'll never have
A better chance
To k*ll him.
♪ Oh, wyatt earp
♪ Wyatt earp
♪ Brave, courageous,
And bold ♪
♪ Long live his fame
♪ And long live his glory
♪ And long may
His story be told! ♪
( Male vocals humming melody )
Male narrator:
Wyatt's feud with old man
Clanton and his cowboys
Had been a standoff
At best.
The clantons controlled
Cochise county, including
Its sheriff, john behan.
But old man clanton,
Like most of his ilk,
Was corrupted by power.
And in what is known as
The dice box canyon mystery,
Old man clanton
Let his foot slip.
Marshal earp to see
Colonel ingram.
Yes, sir.
The colonel's
Expecting you.
Old man clanton
Has put a claim in
For $ ,
As an army
Beef supplier.
Claims his last
Shipment to us was
Rustled by apaches.
If it's true,
Then he's entitled
To his money, but...
I wouldn't believe
Clanton under oath.
Well, sir,
Are there any apaches
In the dragoon mountains now?
One small band,
Led by young geronimo.
Old geronimo's son.
He wouldn't steal
Army beef.
He knows better.
It's not likely,
Especially now
With truce talks on.
I think clanton
Stole his own beef,
But I can't pay
Or refuse his claim
Without proof.
Yet if i,
As the army,
Ask young geronimo
And he's wrongly accused,
Then he'll hit
The warpath pronto.
I might be able to
Get away with it.
But first I'll have
A talk with emma clanton.
- The old man's daughter?
- Yeah. We're not too friendly,
But she does try
To keep her old man
Out of serious trouble.
Well, if that fails,
Then we'll have to go
To young geronimo.
But you tell her
From me this trouble
Is more than serious.
Clanton might lose
His scalp.
Yes, sir.
( Knock at door )
- Who is it?
- Marshal earp.
Did you bring
Nellie cashman along
For a chaperone?
Thank you for coming
Into town, miss emma.
All right.
What's my father
Done now?
He accused some apaches
Of rustling.
- Is that all?
- These particular apaches
Happen to follow
Young geronimo.
Here, take
A look at this.
- Where'd you get that?
- From a dead rancher
Who had also
Accused geronimo
Of stealing.
Well, my father
Didn't accuse geronimo
Of anything.
You'd better find out
Just what your father
Did do.
You want your ranch
Raided by apaches?
- No, of course not.
- There isn't much time.
You show this Kn*fe
To your father,
And you remind him
That geronimo kills
The men,
Makes the women
Slaves.
- Have you been
Listening, papa?
- Yep.
Now, mr. Earp doesn't
Waste any time on us.
He meant every word.
Just trying
To scare you.
I want the straight of it.
Did the apaches
Run off that herd?
No, sis,
They didn't.
Then you stole
Them yourself.
Only way I could
Get even with them
Soldiers at the fort.
Been downgrading
Every beef
I delivered.
Government
Owes me , .
Well, what about
Young geronimo?
Well, nobody's gonna
Tell him what I said
In my claim.
Who'd carry such a tale
To them apaches,
Believin'
Our worst enemy
Again' me?
Mr. Earp has the army
With him, papa!
How can they pay you
Without investigating?
The army--
Let them prove
That the apaches
Didn't run off
That herd!
They've got my word
That they did.
That's all they need.
I'm an honest rancher, sis.
I pay my taxes.
I don't hide my cattle
In mexico at appraisal time!
You just made
A false claim, papa.
Now, em, I don't want
No more talk about this.
You get in that kitchen
And see that we have
Dinner on time.
There's plenty
Of homebody work
To be done around here.
- Yes, papa.
- And you stop talking
To that earp too.
You told me to keep
On speaking terms with him
To get information.
I don't care what I told you.
It's what I tell you
Right now that counts.
You hear me?
No more talking
To him!
- Not unless I have to,
And you cool off, papa!
- Oh!
Any indians in town?
Injuns?
Yeah, a few.
Why?
I have to make a visit
To young geronimo.
Army business.
- Apaches?
- Yeah.
( Knock at door )
Scout around, see if
You can find us a guide
To the dragoon country.
Right.
I talked to papa.
He said the apaches
Did steal his cattle,
So he's entitled
To that , .
Oh, I'm sorry, miss emma,
But I don't believe
Your father,
And you can tell him
I said so.
What the apaches do now
Is on his head,
And you can tell him
I said that too.
I'm not
Telling him anything.
I'm not even supposed
To be speaking to you.
- Well, you're speaking.
- For the last time.
Papa's right about you.
You're just a pigheaded
Lawman.
Gibbs:
Right in here.
Come on in.
His name's
Low dog, wyatt.
Says he can lead us
To young geronimo.
You apache?
Uncle to young geronimo.
Half-brother geronimo.
Show him that there
Coup stick, low dog.
You used to be
A sub-chief, I see.
I found gallons
Of firewater
On his pack horse.
Young geronimo
Wouldn't trust
Just anybody
To buy that much.
All right,
Low dog.
I must speak to
Young geronimo.
Will you take us
To your nephew?
Twenty dollar.
Look, I could
Throw you in jail.
Twenty dollar.
I'm afraid he's
Got us, wyatt.
Most of the fellers
I talked to wouldn't
Go near an apache camp
For a thousand dollars.
Twenty dollar.
Very well, low dog.
Twenty dollar.
Good. Me go.
Low dog,
Where's young
Geronimo's camp?
In valley
Over big climb.
No see
Campfire yet.
I don't see no
Apaches neither,
Wyatt.
They'll see us.
Young geronimo
Smart chief.
( Imitating bird calling )
- Young geronimo.
- ( Whoops )
Who are these men?
Johnny law
From tombstone.
They catch me
With whiskey.
Old fool.
Why do they bring you here?
They say they
Must come talk
To young geronimo.
Very well.
You wait here,
Mr. Gibbs.
Young geronimo,
I need your help
To clear your name.
There is no cloud
Over name
Of young geronimo.
Old man clanton
Told the army
You stole their beef.
- That is lie.
- I believe you,
And so does
Colonel ingram at the fort.
But the cattle are missing,
So he needs proof.
Plenty cattle run wild.
I do not steal beef.
I k*ll clanton.
For this lie,
Apache k*ll.
Low dog tells me
That you're a wise young chief.
That is so.
Then have your scouts
Locate that herd,
- Take it to the fort.
- Why should I do that?
You'll prove that
Clanton lied
And do more than clear
Young geronimo's honor.
How "more"?
Well, if you prove
That clanton is a thief,
You won't have to k*ll him.
- Perhaps.
- And I'll recommend
That you get paid
For delivering
The herd.
You pay us
For cattle?
- It'll be a pleasure.
- Good.
We find cattle.
( Native language )
( Mooing )
All right, lift 'em.
Tie and gag 'em.
No more guard.
Just these two, huh?
All right,
Have your scouts start
The herd towards the fort.
Why drive to fort?
Why not
Steal cattle?
You gave word
Of honor.
That is so.
Young geronimo
Not so wise.
We keep word.
( Whooping )
Hah!
Papa!
Indians rustled
The dice box herd!
- Indians?
- Got the whole herd.
sh*t ollie in the shoulder
And cracked denver's skull.
Left 'em both tied up.
Well, you sure
It was indians, ike?
- Apache pony tracks all over.
- Well, round up the boys, fast!
I'll learn them apaches.
If I have to take a hundred men,
I'll "massacree" the varmints.
- Use your head, papa.
- You keep out'n this, sis.
- Do you want to
Go to prison?
- Prison?
You can't fight the apaches.
If they don't get you,
The army will.
- Them's my cattle.
- No, they're not.
- You signed a statement
Swearing they'd been rustled.
- I can get 'em back, can't i?
That would only prove
To colonel ingram
You've been lying!
You give me my g*n belt.
Ain't nobody gonna
Raid my property.
All right, go ahead.
Tangle with young geronimo.
Get his father
On the warpath too.
I've done all I can do
To keep you out of trouble.
Well, what makes you think
It's young geronimo?
Well, you told the army
That he stole your cattle,
Didn't you?
Well, who told him
I did?
Well, I don't know.
Could've been
Wyatt earp or anybody.
Earp?
Why, that no-good,
Side-windin' johnny law,
Tryin' to get us
"Massacreed."
- He warned you.
- That settles it.
Lawman or not, I'm gonna--
Papa!
Wyatt earp is coming
In the front yard
With the whole army.
The army?
Detail, halt!
Just hold it, boys.
No sh**t' at soldiers.
Mr. Clanton, colonel ingram
Wants you at the fort.
Huh. Lot of good
That'll do.
You just had to stir up
The apaches against us,
Didn't you?
It's an even choice
Between the apaches
And the clantons, miss emma.
Get on your horse,
Clanton.
Now, ike, phin,
Round up the rest
Of the boys.
John law ain't heard
The last if this.
Detail, about, ho!
We'll get earp and gibbs
On their way back
To tombstone
After they turn
Papa loose.
They won't have
The army with them then.
Yeah, and I know
The perfect spot.
Mr. Clanton,
Chief geronimo delivered
Your steers to us at
The request of marshal earp.
They weighed out
At $ , , the amount
Of our claim to them.
- Told you he stole 'em.
- Marshal earp,
Where did you
And deputy gibbs find
The clanton herd?
At dice box canyon,
On his spread.
Mr. Clanton,
It seems that you're
A thief as well as a liar,
But since you haven't collected
The money from the government,
Charges of fraud
May be dropped.
Just pay me my money.
I'm gettin' out of here.
Not yet, sir.
There's a matter here
Of falsely accusing
Chief geronimo
And inciting apaches
To w*r.
- That is a felony.
- I called him a rustler.
He is a rustler.
He stole 'em.
He didn't rustle your stock!
You did that yourself.
He'd had hardly left them
On your land if he had.
Marshal earp,
Have you discussed this
With chief geronimo?
Yes, sir, I have.
He will not seek retribution
For the dishonor to his name.
- Is that your word,
Chief geronimo?
- It is my word.
Colonel ingram, I recommend
That young geronimo
And his scouts be paid
For their services.
They worked very hard
To drive that beef in here.
Excellent idea, marshal.
The ,
Should be divided--
Half to mr. Clanton
And half to chief geronimo
For the trail drive
And to compensate
For slandering his name.
Whoever heard of
Slanderin' an apache?
Easy, now. Easy.
Young geronimo is
An honored chief.
Would you rather answer charges
In a federal court?
No, but this is
Plain robbery.
That'll do, sir.
The chief shall be paid
Three and a half thousand.
Marshal earp,
Will you please
Escort chief geronimo
To the quartermaster?
It is justice, colonel.
I thank you.
Mr. Clanton is
Lucky man.
He still has
His scalp.
He should watch
His tongue.
Mr. Clanton,
If anything happens
To marshal earp,
I'll lead a column
To your ranch myself.
Here's your money.
Think it over.
You forget
My dollar?
I'm sorry, low dog.
One, two, three, four--
Hyah! Hyah!
My nephew,
We ride
With mr. Earp
And mr. Gibbs
Towards tombstone.
Yes.
There is angry man
And bad trail.
Yeah, we sure
Would appreciate
A few more g*ns.
No. I don't want
You and your braves
Fighting clanton.
Thank you
Just the same.
He is right.
But if you are k*lled,
I will avenge you,
My friend.
Thanks.
Avengin' me and roscoe
Ain't gonna be a heap
Of satisfaction to us.
What do you want me to do,
Ask the colonel for an escort?
Why, of course not.
That'd be
Humiliatin'.
Well, just cheer up,
Mr. Gibbs.
Yeah? Why?
Old man clanton's pride
Is stung, but he isn't ready
To bushwhack
Johnny laws just now.
He'd have young geronimo
And the army after him.
You hear that, roscoe?
A few days after we're dead,
All them clantons
Is gonna be dead too.
( Braying )
I'm sure roscoe's
A lot happier now.
Will you stop jabberin'
And get on his back?
The trail I picked
Has only got one spot
Where they can
Ambush us.
If it's gonna happen,
I want it to happen
Before dark.
Come on.
Giddup!
All right, this looks like
The spot. Come on!
Come on,
Put the horses away.
Now, they have to come
Around that bend
From the fort.
And when they do,
We'll take 'em.
Not too many
Of 'em.
This trail goes downhill.
They'll see us.
This what
You figured on?
Yeah. We'll have to
Make our fight here.
- It's papa.
- ( Whistles )
Hyah!
Phin.
Well, this is
A real nice spot.
How do you figure
Our chances?
About - ,
If I haven't made
A big mistake.
Well, maybe they won't
Come up here after us.
Let's hope not.
- ( Roscoe braying )
- Roscoe! Hush up!
- Hey, papa, that's gibbs' mule!
- ( Braying continues )
Loudmouthed mule.
Right up there, papa.
Let's go get 'em!
Hush up, ike.
I'm studyin' this.
Go get some more men.
Now, we'll pin them down
Until they get here,
And then we'll circle.
- Stop him, wyatt.
- No, I'd have to k*ll him.
- Well, ain't it about time?
- Not yet.
Now, let's really
Pin 'em down.
Save your shells
Until the come
At us.
Let's go down
And get 'em before
There's too many of 'em.
Old man clanton's
A bigger fool than
I thought he was.
Apaches and soldiers to
Deal with, and all he can
Think about is getting at us.
Two men trying to
Flank us on the left
Over there, wyatt.
I see 'em.
Well, here goes.
Right up there, boys.
Pour it on 'em.
- I'm gonna cut loose.
- No, wait, let 'em rush us.
There goes one
To the other side
Over there.
All right, take him.
- ( Cavalry bugle
Playing "charge" )
- ( Horses approaching )
It's the army!
Hold your fire, boys!
Why, them's soldiers.
Mount up!
Let's go!
Hyah! Hyah!
Whoo! Well, that was sure
A close one, wasn't it?
Yeah, too close.
They were late.
- Who was?
- The army.
I wasn't sure
They'd hear the sh**ting.
You mean, you had that
Figured out all the time?
Well, I hoped
It would work out
That way.
Well, I'd sure appreciate
You lettin' me in
On these things.
I got too much
Gray hair as it is.
Makes you look
More distinguished,
Mr. Gibbs.
Let's go down and thank
The boys, hmm?
