g*n Duel in Durango (1957)

[bunniefuu]

* g*n DUEL IN DURANGO *

Never really thought

you'd ever pay me that $20.

Ah!... I sure never did.

$20, that's a right

handsome sum to get

just for telling you some

fellow passed through here.

Eh!... Must have been

mighty important to ya.

Yeah.

Hey, what are you doing?

Look, Mister, you can

have back your $20.

You ain't gonna sh**t.

Look, Mister, I ain't

done nothin' to ya.

What you want to do?

Leave him alive so he could

blab his mouth about us?

He didn't know

who we are.

He told us what

we wanted to know for $20.

You could've let him spend it.

You telling me, Roy?

No. No, I ain't

telling you nothin'.

Anybody else?

We agreed...

Until we find out about Will

Sabre, you're running things.

We'll stick to it.

Smart guys, all of ya.

For $20 he tells us

which way Will Saber went.

Well, he could tell somebody

about us for 20 more.

Will Sabre thinks he's

the last of the fast g*ns.

We know different, you and me.

Ashes to ashes, friend.

Sabre's headed for the Big Indian,


and that's where we're going.

W. S. (Will Sabre).

Mine eyes have seen the glory.

Of the coming of the Lord.

He is trampling out the vintage.

Where the grapes

of wrath are stored.

He hath loosed


the fateful lightning.

Of his terrible swift sword.

His truth.

Is marching on.

Glory, glory.

Hallelujah.

Glory, glory.

Hallelujah.

Glory, glory.

Hallelujah.

Dunsten, footprints tracks.

Could be Will's.

Don't you touch nothin'!

And don't try nothin'.

I can sh**t this


pretty good if I have to.

That you doing all that singing?

It's the only

church song I know.

Burying my pop.

That's a fitting song.

Yeah, that should do fine.

Your pop would be


mighty proud of you.

You think he knows?

Folks who know better

than me say things never die.

Everything goes on living,

just in a different way, that's all.

Yeah, I...

I think he knows.

That's good.

That's a pretty big job


for a boy.

Started day before yesterday.

Going pretty deep,

ain't you?

No buzzards or Indians

are going to get him,

not if I can help it.

Can I give you a hand?

Thanks.

Pop is kind of heavy.

Reckon that grave

is deep enough.

Hitch up the team

and back the wagon up here.

Indians?

Not around here.

Gonna be sh**ting?

That depends.

Get down in the bottom of that grave.

We'll have to borrow it

from your dad for a minute.

Where did those tracks go?

Dunsten.

Stay quiet!...

Ain't nothing in the wagon

but a dead man.

That's right.

Dead one's in the wagon.

The live one's here in the grave.

We've been looking for you,

Sabre.

I figured you might be.

You were going to meet us in Carlyle.

You weren't there.

That should tell you

where I stand.

Everybody keep your hands

where I can see them.

The boys say they're not going

to let you walk out, Sabre.

You've been heading up

the g*ng a long time, Will.

You know too much about us.

Will Saber.

The law won't find out

anything from me.

The boys say you're either

with us or you're dead, Saber.

Think it over, Saber.

You've got 30 days.

We'll find you

wherever you are.

You came here for my answer,

and you got it.

And the answer is

still the same.

Now, ride.

Come on. Move.

You're Will Saber.

You and those men robbed

the bank in Carpet Hill

and the stage from Collins City.

And you robbed...

Are we going to bury

your dad or aren't we?

Too bad you had

to get sick, Donovan.

Your son said you

were a fine man.

I believe him.

Such being the case,

you should be getting fine treatment

wherever you are right now.

I'll try to see to it that

your son's taken care of...

If that's the way

he wants it.

If not,

I'll be going on my way.

So long, Donovan.

Amen.

You leaving?

Yeah, unless there's

something else I can do.

Thanks for helping me.

You're welcome, boy.

Maybe there's somebody else we

could bury right here first.

Huh? Will Saber.

If we...

If we buried him, that would be

the end of him, wouldn't it?

How do you like

the name Dan Tomlinson?

Is that what you're

going to call yourself?

As good as any.

What are you

going to do with me?

You've got something

to say about that, boy.

How'd you like to see Durango?

All right.

I'd be beholden

to you, Mr. Tomlinson.

You can call me Dan, boy.

Call me Robbie. Fine.

Hey!

I'll do the talking, Robbie.

Okay.

Fetch my horse

and tie him to the wagon.

Howdy.

We're Texas Rangers.

Did you come over

the Big Indian into Texas?

A few days ago.

What can I do for you?

Found a dead man on the

other side of the ridge,

shot through the back of the head.

Did you see anybody?

No.

We've been here since yesterday,

burying my brother-in-law.

I told him he shouldn't

make the trip.

He's been a sick man

for quite a while.

Well, you keep a lookout.

Word's going around

that Will Saber and his g*ng

are moving out of Kansas,

down into Texas.

Could be they're the ones

that k*lled that man.

Tracks of five or six

horses around the body.

Think we'll be in any trouble?

Nah.

Will Sabre goes in for big stakes.

You wouldn't interest him.

All we want is

to be let alone.

We're going over into Durango

and buy some land.

If you see anything, when you get

there, you tell the Sheriff.

I sure will.

Sorry about your brother-in-law.

Thanks, Ranger.

You heard what the ranger said.

They k*lled a man.

If you wasn't lying to me

about becoming somebody else,

you could've told the rangers

which way they went.

The rangers

would've caught 'em.

But you're going back with them.

You did lie to me.

I didn't lie to you, Robbie,

and I didn't lie to Dunsten.

I told him the law wouldn't

get any information from me.

That was my word.

You don't want me to go

back on my word, do you?

But you heard

what the ranger said.

They k*lled somebody,

maybe lots of people.

Maybe you did, too.

Yeah, Robbie,

I've k*lled men,

but I never k*lled a man who

didn't try to k*ll me first.

You old enough to

understand the difference?

You're scared of me,

aren't you, boy?

Yes.

I've got a lot more reason

to be scared of you.

You know my real name.

All you have to do is

just mention it to someone.

Where would that

leave me, huh?

Guess there's nothing to do

but trust each other.

I wish my father was here.

So do I, boy.

It'd make it a lot easier

on both of us.

Come on. Let's get going.

The rangers must have

caught up with them.

Not unless Dunsten

was waiting for 'em.

An ambush!

You gonna let 'em do it?

You gonna let 'em

k*ll those rangers?

You stay here.

Why did we have to ambush 'em?

It don't make sense!

They'd have gone right

past us without knowing!

Maybe it's safer

to let 'em go,

but to me they're the law,

and that's reason enough.

You're out of your head.

You're gonna get us

k*lled one way or another.

Well, what do ya know?

We gave him

30 days, Dunsten.

We still want Will with

us, if he'll come.

All right,

we'll let him live.

But you'll probably be

the first one that he kills.

We got two

of 'em, anyway.

Come on!

We're pulling out!

Going after 'em,

Captain?

No.

Two of my men are down.

I got to see how bad they're hurt.

Can I give you a hand?

You'd better get with that boy.

They might double back.

That's the Will Saber g*ng.

Are you sure?

Recognized one of them,

a fellow by the name of Dunsten...

Used to be a g*n hawk

around Dodge City.

We'll get 'em all sooner or later.

The hunt won't stop.

I hope you do.

A lot of people would

feel a lot better.

When I get into Durango,

I'll look you up.

I'll be on the lookout

for you too, Captain.

Whoa, whoa!

I've got some business in that

bank, Robbie.

I won't be long.

You're not going into a bank?

Dan Tomlinson and banks

have a lot of respect

for each other

nowadays, Robbie.

Tie off the team.

There you are, Sheriff.

Complete schedule of all

future shipments to San Antone.

Fine, Ben. Yeah, this'll give me

a chance to have men ready for you.

Mr. Cowle?

I'm Cowle, yes.

I'm Tomlinson.

Dan Tomlinson.

I'd like to open

an account here.

Of course.

A pleasure, Mr. Tomlinson.

This is Sheriff Howard.

Pleased to meet you.

Glad to know you, sir.

You're going to stay a while in

Durango, I take it?

I'm not sure yet.

Dan Tomlinson, you said?

Well, the account will be

in someone else's name.

I want to deposit $1,600

in the name of a young boy.

Your son?

No, I... I'm just

sort of his guardian.

His father died just after

we crossed over Big Indian Divide.

Mother passed away

quite some time ago.

Do you know anybody

here in town?

Well, I'm not sure

of that, either.

Well, I suppose you'll want

to open a safety account

so nobody can touch

the money except the boy,

according to your instructions.

Yeah, I guess

that would be best.

Uh, I'm going to make someone

else the guardian for the boy.

What name?

Well, uh, that's the third

thing I'm not sure of.

But I'd like to have you hang

on to this money, anyway.

I'll be back tomorrow

and give you the name.

Well, where will

you be staying, sir?

Over at the hotel. I see.

Well, if you'll just fill out

this form, Mr. Tomlinson.

Hey!

Hey, you drop those!

Drop those things!

Let 'em go!

Let 'em go!

What's going on here,

Tomlinson?

He tried to steal his g*ns!

They're nice g*ns.

Handles have taken

quite a beating.

When are you going

to learn a lesson, Marken?

Those g*ns would've

bought me a new stake.

I'm busted.

Then you ought to appreciate

free rent and grub in jail.

I'm sorry this had to happen

on your first day in town.

Say, do you always wear

a two-g*n belt,

the kind you tie down?

Those g*ns were

put away, Sheriff.

They're staying put.

Those g*ns weren't worth it.

You could've gotten yourself hurt.

I didn't know you'd finished

getting your initials off of 'em.

The Sheriff knows there was something

on there I wanted taken off.

Maybe we shouldn't

stay here.

We'll see.

We'll see what happens.

Where are we going?

Let's just say it's bank business.

Got to get some papers

signed for Mr. Cowle.

Next time, why don't you go

bust it in some other town?

Joe, I want you to send a letter

to Rangers Headquarters

in San Antone.

This will be a description

of a man named Dan Tomlinson.

Find out what they have

that fits the description.

Something up?

I don't want to wait till there is.

This fellow is about 6'3",

weighs around 185,

dark hair, blue eyes.

That's the way she

said it would be. Who?

That's the Lazy J. Spread.

Like it?

I sure do. It's the kind

of a place Pop wanted.

Yeah, it'd be a good place

for a boy to grow up.

Whoa.

Let me straighten

you out a bit, Robbie.

Ah!... Hey, you lost a button.

I guess that's all right.

Tuck in your shirttail.

Come in.

How've you been doing?

Like you see...

Prospering.

Who's this?

Oh, this is Robbie Donovan.

Hello, Robbie. Howdy, ma'am.

There. That's fine.

Wait for me outside,

will you, Robbie?

I picked him up

on the trail.

His father had just died.

I helped him bury him.

I couldn't leave the kid

out there all by himself.

Just why did you

come here, Will?

To see you, Judy.

No, I don't believe that.

Look, I told you I'd be

back one of these days.

It's been over two years,

Will.

Not that I don't know

what you've been doing.

You make very good news.

I've quit.

Dunsten has taken over.

Is that the truth?

I've wanted to do it

for a long time, Judy.

It wasn't easy making that break.

The boys wanted me back.

Even now, they might be

out there looking for me.

Then it's not a break,

not really.

I promise.

I promise I'll make it

stick this time, Judy.

There's some coffee

on the stove.

Judy.

I'll get the coffee.

You've done all right.

Well, cattle prices are up.

Better profits than St. Louis?

Well, this is living,

running a gambling joint isn't.

I've proved that to myself.

And what were you

trying to prove?

That an educated man can be

just as tough and ruthless

as anybody else

in the West?

And what now?

You staying here?

That's something

we'll have to talk about.

Will...

If you're leveling with me about

quitting the g*ng, I'll marry you.

Judy, I...

I told you they could find me here.

So?

Look, they gave me 30 days.

If I don't go back with them,

they'll try to k*ll me.

Then nothing's changed.

Judy, I won't do that to you.

That's right.

Nothing has changed,

not until I know whether

or not I'm going to live.

You can't fight them all.

They will k*ll you.

All I'm asking you

to do is just wait.

Just wait and see.

If they do come back here,

I may have to move fast.

Oh, Will, you'll always

have to move fast.

Judy.

Judy, would...

Would you take in the boy?

Take in a kid, a stranger

you picked up on the trail?

Will, you have no right

to ask me that.

That may be, Judy,

but the boy needs a home,

and I can't give it to him.

That's the only reason

you came here, isn't it?

Judy.

No, it isn't.

Look, you're sore at me,

not the kid.

Take a couple of days

and think about it.

I'll take Robbie into the town,

and he can stay at the hotel with me.

No deal, Will.

I want to forget about you,

and I can't with that boy

around here 24 hours a day.

He'll be here to remind me.

That fool kid!

Hey! Hey! Where you going

with my horse, Mister?

Hey, that's my horse!

Robbie!

It's all right, Mike.

Robbie, come back!

Robbie!

Robbie!

Robbie! Robbie!

Robbie!

Get him back

to the ranch house.

I'll get some more cold water.

It'll keep that bump down.

I won't stay here with her.

Well, now, just what

did she ever do to you?

I heard what she said

to you before.

Well, maybe you didn't

understand her reasons...

but that's okay.

Look, boy, I've got

no hold on you.

You can do whatever you like.

We'll go into town

and talk to the Sheriff.

Maybe he can find

a place for you to stay.

He wouldn't be much good around

the ranch anyway,

not the way he rides a horse.

That horse stumbled

when he jumped that fence!

Excuses. You almost broke

your neck and the horse's.

I can ride as good as anybody.

You ask Dan.

He'd stick up for you,

no matter what.

Then why doesn't he want

me to stay with him?

Robbie, listen...

Where would you stay?

In the back of the wagon?

Well...

Of course, you'd have

to go to school in Durango.

Besides, who said

he wouldn't be around?

You gonna stay?

Well, I haven't quite

made up my mind yet.

Do you ever tell him

you'd like him to stay?

Well...

He always said

I could do what I wanted.

I guess he's got a right, too.

Oh, what a couple

of stubborn jackasses.

Well, I guess we could

teach him how to ride.

I told you,

that horse stumbled!

Quiet, boy. I have eyes.

I'll tell you what...

We'll put him on trial around here and

see if he can carry his own weight.

You mean you're going

to let me work on the ranch?

Uh-huh.

I can have a regular job?

Well, of course. What do you think

this place is, a home for old women?

Well, I could recommend him

for work.

He's not afraid to work.

Okay, Robbie,

you've got yourself

a man-sized job, after school.

Yippee!

I'll be the best

hand you ever had!

How do you feel now?

Fine. I have a hard head.

In that case,

go water down your horses.

My men eat at 6:00. Now, see if you

can get yourself cleaned up by then.

Yes, ma'am!

Well, now, don't go getting

weak-kneed with thanks.

Judy, you handled him

just right.

Well, I've known how to handle

men ever since St. Louis.

All except one.

You know, I'm going

to stay around here now.

I'll go into town and try

to get myself a job there.

Well, why not right here?

No.

No, I've got to be where the

Sheriff and everybody else

looks at me

as just another man.

I have to get used to living

with people again, too.

Well, now, do you think that

you could give me a kiss

that would make up

for those two years?

Go ahead.

Morning, Ben.

Morning, Sheriff.

Mr. Tomlinson.

Good morning, Mr. Cowle.

Come to give me that name

you told me about yesterday?

Yes. Judy Ollivant.

The girl who owns the Lazy J.?

That's right.

You moving on,

Mr. Tomlinson?

Well, not if I can get

a job in town.

He talked to me about a job,

and I thought you might be interested.

Ben, he knows figures.

Have you done any banking, Sir?

Well, not exactly your kind.

No?

What, then?

Investment, corporation, marine?

I was a partner in a gambling

house in St. Louis.

Kept my own books.

We usually came out pretty well.

You've been trying to hire

somebody for three months, Ben.

The gambling house

was on the level, Mr. Cowle.

Well, I was expecting

a different kind of reference,

but I've taken chances before.

Job's yours, Mr. Tomlinson.

Thanks, Mr. Cowle.

I'll show you around.

Uh... We got a little business

to transact first.

He'll be back in a couple of minutes.

Coming?

Have a chair.

There's something

I thought you ought to know

before you start

working at the bank.

I sent a description of you

to Ranger Headquarters

in San Antone.

What for?

Those g*ns of yours.

We haven't had a gunfighter

in Durango for three...

No, I guess it's four years.

We don't have much patience

here with g*n hawks.

You're guessing, Sheriff.

I wasn't even wearing the g*ns.

Those could've been notches

you scraped off the handles.

Yeah, they could've been,

but they weren't.

If you were so worried about me,

why did you recommend me to Mr. Cowle?

Gunfighters have been known to

hang up their g*ns before now

and become good people

to have around.

I just wanted you

to know about San Antone.

Is this a warning or not?

You could leave town,

before that information

arrives from San Antone.

Is that what you

want me to do?

If it's going to mean

trouble later on, yes.

If not, I like to see

new people move into town.

It means that we're growing.

Is that all? That's all.

Oh, that's a nice boy

you got there.

You know, it takes

a smart fellow

to know what's best

for a young'un sometimes.

Hope you make

the right decisions.

Good luck to you.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

The Sheriff doesn't

know who I am yet.

I'm sure of that.

But I can't take any chances on the

answer he'll get from San Antone.

But where would you go?

Can you take

a chance anywhere?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

Robbie knows

I'm Will Saber.

Kids...

Kids, they can get careless.

He's trusted you

for some time now.

Judy, believe me,

I don't want to run anymore,

but what if this thing

blows up?

You and Robbie wouldn't have

a friend in this whole country.

All I know is,

you want to start a new life.

Well, Durango's as good

a place as any to start it.

Okay, Judy,

we'll stay with it.

You do have the nicest

handwriting, Mr. Tomlinson.

All the ladies think so.

Thank you,

Miss Henderson.

Seems to me that

every woman in town

has been doing nothing

but making deposits

the last three weeks,

since you started working here.

I don't believe it's your

handwriting they come to see at all.

There you are, Miss Henderson.

All taken care of.

Mmm-hmm.

A very firm hand, Mr. Tomlinson.

Good day. Oh.

3,000.

Put it in my account.

Hey, you struck it rich,

eh, Mr. Blaisdell?

What do you mean, rich?

Those steers I sold was

worth twice that amount.

Cattle buyers are

thieves, all of 'em.

I tell you,

I'm getting sick of it.

A man sweats and sl*ves

to make something for himself,

and the cattle buyers

take the gravy.

Hurry up with that entry,

Tomlinson.

It'll take a minute.

Come on, come on!

I ain't got all day.

Sorry, Sir.

You were right.

$3,000.

Sorry.

Morning, Mr. Blaisdell.

Morning.

Hello again.

Well, hello there, Captain.

Good to see you again.

Told you I'd look you up.

Did you ever catch up

with that Sabre g*ng?

Not yet. We had reports of

'em being down in New Mexico,

then we'd heard they'd

doubled back into Texas again.

The Captain here says that description

I sent of you fits Will Saber.

Oh?

Thought I'd come in

and take a look at you.

It can't be.

When we were ambushed

by the Sabre g*ng,

this is the fellow that

tried to help us out. Well...

I'm glad you decided to stay

around our town, Tomlinson.

So am I.

Thought you were

looking for land?

Oh, I'll get it.

You staying around town?

No, moving on.

We're turning over every

stone, looking for Saber.

I'm glad I was under

the wrong stone.

See ya. Right.

Good luck to you.

Thanks.

Right on time,

just like I said.

How are you going to get

to it with all them guards?

We're not.

We're taking the next shipment

a week from now when they take

the strongbox out of Durango.

Right in town?

Yeah,

where they least expect it.

Come on. Let's get back and

work it out with the boys.

You see the stagecoach?

Yeah.

Come on up to the shack.

Stacey, you keep watch.

The rest of you inside.

Going to be

an easy one?

That depends on Larry here.

Why me?

Because you're the only one of us

that's ever been in Durango.

That's been some time ago.

That express outfit didn't

even go that far then.

Just the same, you know

the town better than any of us.

You're going in and get a layout

of that express office.

What if there are rangers there?

What if I'm recognized?

But you like rangers, Larry.

Remember, you tried

to get me to leave them alone.

You're taking it out

on me, Dunsten.

You're trying to get even for

something that happened up there.

If that was the case,

I'd have k*lled you before now.

You had your chances.

You still got 'em.

Yeah...

only k*lling you don't mean

nothing, Larry.

You still think you can

outgun Will Saber?

His 30 days are up

day after tomorrow.

I'll catch up with him.

You're leaving

for town in the morning,

or have you still got

some argument left?

No argument.

He's sound asleep.

The way he's been

working around here,

he hardly has enough energy

to go to bed at night.

You happy?

Not as happy as I could be,

with the way things are.

You can't get Dunsten

off your mind, can you?

No.

Maybe he'll never show up.

He'll show... Sometime.

For my sake, I hope

you don't meet up with him.

For Robbie's sake,

I hope you do.

Robbie's?

Will...

He talks to me a lot

when you're not around.

It's still in the back of his

mind that you're Will Saber.

You're a gunfighter

and an outlaw.

It's going to take some doing,

and not just talking to make him forget it.

Yeah, I know.

I've known ever since

he first heard my name.

We've got to make

him forget it.

You know, Will, when you have a dog

around, you grow to love it.

You worry if it's lost

or gets sick.

With kids, it's the very same

way, only a million times more so.

Well, what can I do?

I can't go looking

for Dunsten.

It's just a matter

of waiting till he finds me.

Will, you don't want

to k*ll Dunsten, do you?

He'd have to force me to.

I have no right

to k*ll him.

I'm no better than he is.

I have no right

to judge anybody.

I've learned that late,

but I've learned it.

You think you can

explain that to Robbie?

I...

I don't know.

Sometime you'll have to.

I thought Robbie owed us

something for taking him in,

but I was wrong.

We owe him something.

He showed us what human beings

are supposed to be like.

Someday you'll have

to make him understand.

Hello, Dan.

Hello, Sheriff.

I didn't know you kept

those g*ns that handy.

A little extra protection

for the bank.

Glad to see you got Ben

Cowle's interests at heart.

You never know.

Yeah.

Incidentally, that

Ranger Captain told me

you didn't do any actual

sh**ting against the Sabre g*ng.

I got there too late.

That's what he said.

What's on your mind, Sheriff?

The g*ng's definitely in Texas.

We just got word.

The stage lines and banks

are being notified.

I'll tell Mr. Cowle.

Mmm-hmm.

You can wear those g*ns

again now, if you want.

You might get another chance to do

some sh**ting against the Sabre g*ng.

Maybe this time

you won't be too late.

I'll see you, Dan.

Well, there's the layout...

The streets, the bank,

the express office.

At exactly 1:00 sharp,

they take the money out of the bank

and bring it over

to the express office.

At that time the streets are crowded,

so there'll be a lot of confusion.

It won't be so easy

for 'em to spot us.

You all know where

you're supposed to be?

Good.

If you have to use

your g*ns, don't miss.

We'll pull out of here

for town at dawn.

Dan.

Tom's busy.

You'd better take this over

to the express office today.

Okay.

We're late now.

All right, everybody

get their hands up!

We'll make this simple and fast,

unless you hombres are

looking for trouble.

You!

What are you waiting for?

Why don't you sh**t?

With what?

sh**t, man, sh**t!

What kind of a man are you?

The rest of us are willing to risk our

lives, but you wouldn't sh**t.

You mind telling us why?

You scared so much,

you can't move?

If there was time for arguing,

I'd let you think up an answer

to that, but there isn't.

I'm forming a posse.

Rule him out.

I'm sorry, Robbie.

I'm sorry you had to stick up

for me at school today.

That Bill Blaisdell,

he kept yellin', yellin'!

You fought the Blaisdell boy?

He's bigger,

he's older and he won!

And I'm not going back

to that school!

Robbie. Robbie.

Judy, I...

I just couldn't sh**t.

I know.

Will you talk to him?

I've tried to talk

to him before.

Robbie, come out here.

Robbie, we'd better talk.

There's nothing to talk about.

I only know

what they all say.

Expect me to have a fight and get

beat by Bill Blaisdell every day?

No. No, I don't.

They say you're yellow.

But I know why you didn't

sh**t at those outlaws.

It's 'cause you're going back

with 'em, that's why.

That's not the reason,

Robbie, and you know it.

Did you tell the kids

anything about me?

What do you think I am?

Robbie.

Robbie, come here.

Look, boy, I don't want

to use a g*n anymore,

anytime.

That's what

I want you to remember.

It's the same today as it was

that first day we met.

That's why I couldn't tell the

rangers then where the men had gone.

That's why I couldn't take

things into my own hands today.

I wish I was old enough now.

I'd sh**t

that Dunsten myself.

Boy, get this

into your head,

it's not for you to be

thinking such things.

You learn about school and church

and making a man of yourself,

not about g*ns and k*lling.

Yes, Sir.

By the time you grow up,

men won't be wearing g*ns.

Everybody will live

by the law.

Now, you understand that?

Can I go now?

Yes, you...

You can go now.

Now, that's a good haul.

Not what we should've got.

We missed out.

The bank receipts weren't

at the express office yet.

Makes no difference, Dunsten.

We got to move out of here.

That's right. Every man in the

area will be looking for us.

Well, we won't be sitting

there waiting on 'em.

We're going to take

another crack at Durango.

We're going back

in that town?

That bank's busting

wide open with money.

It's not the money,

Dunsten.

It's Will Sabre.

That's why you want to go back.

You're real smart, Larry.

You've got a head on your shoulders.

Sure, I want Saber.

I want him because he's going

to work with us again...

Whether he wants to or not.

Will?

What's wrong, Judy?

I don't want Robbie to hear

this, but I have to tell you...

There was a man here today

who wanted to see you.

He said it was very important.

What did he look like?

Well, he was rather stocky,

and had red hair

and wore a mustache.

He said he'd be back.

It's beginning.

That's the start of it, Judy.

Here you are, Tom.

Everything balanced?

Right to the penny, Sir.

Good work.

See you tomorrow.

Good night, sir.

Dan.

Everything all right?

Yeah, everything is fine.

Good night.

What are they

waiting for?

If they're going to come,

why don't they come?

On the way over here,

I heard a couple of g*nshots.

Of course, it could have been someone

just sh**ting at a rattlesnake.

On the other hand,

they could've been sh**ting at me.

Well, Dan, if you

want to leave Durango,

I won't say any more.

You said something about

starting my life over, Judy.

Well, this is the place

where I'm going to start it.

They're not going

to make me run anymore.

Well, that's up to you.

You'll have some dinner?

I'd like some

change for this.

Hello, Will.

How would you like it?

Gold Eagles.

I got a message for you...

From Dunsten.

He wants to see you

tonight at Red Bluff.

That's a point about

10 miles outside of town.

He'll have to come

to see me.

Don't make us

get rough, Will.

We know where

Judy Ollivant's ranch is.

Leave her alone.

Sure.

What time are you

going to be there?

Be right with you, Sir.

Here you are.

9:00. Thanks.

Hello, Will.

You won't need that.

Where's Dunsten?

Follow me.

Hello, Will.

Will.

Well, I don't suppose we have

to shake hands, huh, Will?

What do you want?

Will Sabre working in a bank.

That's a tough one

to believe.

You seem to believe it

all right.

Oh, yeah, fits right in

with my ideas,

and we've got some good ones

about that bank you work in.

Well, don't try them.

Will, we've got

you boxed in.

We like the idea

of you helping us.

You're going to like it too,

because if we have

to do this without you,

we'll leave enough evidence around

to make it look like you've done it,

only we'll be gone.

You'll have to face 'em

all alone, Will.

You won't get any help from

me, Dunsten. Will!

We'll be at that bank

at 1:00 tomorrow night,

and you'd better be there.

Didn't you hear anyone

or see anything?

No. I guess I was sleeping pretty

soundly, then I heard something.

It must have been when they were

taking Robbie through the window.

Oh, everything happened

so fast, Will.

That's why Dunsten was

so sure I'd go in with him.

There's only one thing,

one clear thing...

I'll have to do

whatever they want me to.

And after tomorrow night,

after you help them?

I'll give myself up.

Well, here's home, kid.

Here.

Be sure and give that to Will.

Well, get going!

udy!

Oh, Robbie! Oh, Robbie.

Hold it, Roy.

Drop that g*n.

Drop it. Now get down.

Where's Dunsten?

You're talking to the wrong man.

I'm not going to waste any time, Roy.

I don't hear you.

Come on!

Stop. No more.

You got the kid back.

What more do you want?

Where's Dunsten? Look, he'll k*ll you!

Jake will k*ll you!

Where is he?

All right.

Boulder Ridge, up ahead

a couple of miles.

When you get to the

head of the pass,

you'll see some rocks

that look like statues.

There's a shack

in back of 'em.

Judy, I've got

to head out fast.

I want you to get a message

to the Sheriff for me.

Well, what's the matter?

All right, Sabre.

Stay away from your g*ns!

You were in on that robbery.

I'm putting you under arrest.

You're crazy.

They kidnapped Robbie.

If I hadn't followed their orders,

they would have k*lled him.

Go on, Robbie. Tell him.

Tell him what happened.

He doesn't have to tell me anything.

The evidence is enough.

Evidence?

What are you talking about?

This.

Where did this come from?

Read him that note that came with it.

Go on. Read it.

"Will...

"You did fine.

"The kid is bringing

back your share.

"Keep your fingers crossed,

and we'll do another job

"like this one pretty soon.

"Jake and the boys".

They're lying, Howard.

Look, I'm not going back with you.

Don't move, Saber.

Look... I'll come back

by myself if I can.

If I...

If I don't make it...

Well, you'll know

what happened.

Will! Will!

Don't sh**t!

Cut it out!

About time

you got back, Roy.

Any sign of Roy?

No.

He should be

back here by now.

If he ain't here in half an hour,

we're pulling out without him.

Maybe he ran

into trouble.

You expect us

to go find out?

You would tangle with Will.

We could have had a lot of miles

between us and Durango by now.

If that's Roy,

he's in no hurry.

That's Jones.

What's he doing

on Roy's horse?

Well, don't stand there.

Take a look.

You won't have

to look far.

Nice of you boys to come out here

in the open where I could see you.

You two are going back

to Durango with me.

Now, wait a minute, Will.

Maybe we can make a deal.

Sorry, no deal.

But, Will, they'll hang us!

Take my share

of the bank money.

Take anything you want,

but just let us get out of here.

He ain't taking

nobody back.

Shut up, Dunsten.

You got us into this.

Why, you! Wait a minute, Will!

Don't sh**t!

I told you he'd

give it to you first.

All right.

Now hold still, Dunsten.

I could've k*lled you, Jake,

but there's some people in town

that have to know the truth.

All that bank money, Saber,

we can split it right down the middle.

No more splitting, Jake.

For once in my life, I've got

something to look forward to.

Come on now, on your feet.

They'll be waiting.

Hiya, Dan and Judy!

Hi there, cowboy.

The Sheriff's got the news!

Everything's okay!

It's official!

I'm adopted!

We knew about it, Robbie.

We just wanted Mr. Howard

here to surprise you.

Boy, what a surprise.

You ride into town to get some

stuff at the general store,

and you come back

with a ma and a pa.

That's what I'll have

to start calling you from now on.

I've got to go tell Mike

and Johnny.

Come on. Let's go.

You know, when the Governor

gave you that pardon,

a lot of people in town

had to eat crow,

but they're all

on your side now.

They want you to have

these g*ns back, Will.

They're grateful to you for getting

that money back to the bank.

Even Blaisdell looks happy.

You know, a fellow gets to see

a lot of things as Sheriff,

and some of 'em are fine,

just mighty fine.

"THE END"
