Put this mask on.
You're riding with us.
I said put it on.
You've tipped of Wyatt Earp.
You get your share of b*ll*ts.
If nothing goes wrong
in the hold up
then you'll be
an outlaw, like us.
Why don't you let Earp
catch him red handed, Dave?
Hey, it's an idea.
The great Wyatt Earp
catches his best friend.
Bat Masterson in
the Santa Fe payrole robbery.
(all)
Ha ha ha.
Alright, let's ride.

(narrator)
'The life and legend
of Wyatt Earp.'
'Starring Hugh O'Brian.'
'The friendship between Wyatt
Earp and young Bat Masterson'
'was a rough
and ready alliance'
'of the strikingly
dissimilar characters.'
'It began with
Bat's hero worship'
'of the older
and wiser marshal Earp.'
'It grew as Bat determined to
follow Wyatt in the dangerous'
'career of a western
peace officer.'
'Wyatt had advised his young
friend to go to school'
'and choose
some other business.'
'Bat made a try at this while
Wyatt was marshal of Wichita.'
'But when Wyatt moved
down to Dodge City'
'and gained fame as
the first marshal.'
'He could hold his own
with hoodlums '
'of that whip roaring,
cowhand capital.'
'Bat Masterson was drawn to die
just by an irresistible lure.'
'Whatever he felt, he would
prove to Marshall Earp'
'that he had the makings
of a great deputy.'
[acapella music continues]
Oh, So this is
Dodge city, hmm?
Toughest cav
of them all, ma'am.
But I'll keep
an eye on you.
That's nice to
know Mr. Masterson.
I'll get the bag.
Oh, don't rush off
Ms. Nelly.
Oh, your little brother can
tow your luggage to the hotel.
Mr. Lucans, I told you
I didn't want to be bothered .
Oh, now.
Is that friendly?
You know, I can show
you a good time.
Oh, here boy.
Take that luggage over
to the hotel will ya?
For the young lady?
Hey.
You're right handy
with your fists.
How are you
with a g*n?
Pretty fair.
Well, the next time
I see you,
wear it.
Come on, let's go
to the hotel.
You do the same.
Come on.
Let's go.
You told me you wanted
a job with Marshal Earp.
Is this going
to help any?
Lucans asked
for a gunfight.
I think you ought to
talk to Mr. Earp first.
Wyatt.
Your old friend
Bat Masterson
is in town.
He just had a fistfight
with a fella by the name
of Lucans outside
the stage depot.
They're gonna sh**t it out
the next time they meet.
Were they fighting
over a girl?
She's a real
fairy belle
according to
the stage driver.
Yeah well,
that's Bat all right.
I have a very nice
room for you.
Southwest corner.
Register please.
All right.
Hello, Mr. Masterson.
Hey, Wyatt.
Oh, I meant to write you.
You never learned
how to write.
Say, you got a little smear
on your upper lip.
Huh?
Oh, that's a mustache.
Mexican style.
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm so glad to see you,
I plumb forgot.
Miss Nelly, I want you
to meet Wyatt Earp.
How do you do?
I'd almost decided to
run to the jail for you.
How's that?
Mr. Masterson here
wants to g*n a man.
Not unless
he comes after me.
I'm afraid the gunfight's
gonna have to wait.
Why?
'Cause you're under
arrest, that's why.
Another joke?
I'd have a fine time
with my enemies
If I let my friends
break the law.
Well thank goodness.
Look, there's a lot
of things about this
that I haven't
told you yet.
But I will later.
Why don't you keep him
with you a few hours?
By that time somebody else
will probably sh**t Lucans.
It's been a real
pleasure, Mr. Earp.
Do I have to put
the handcuffs on you?
No, I'll go on peaceable.
Good-bye, Miss Nelly.
And the first thing I do
is get into a fight.
Sure isn't a very good
time to be asking you
for a deputy's job.
So who's the girl?
Oh, she got aboard
at Abilene.
We struck up
a conversation, that's all.
Look, I'm not the fool
I used to be about women.
I'm practically cured.
Oh, well that's good.
Are you still really serious
about wanting that deputy job?
Yes, sir, I sure do.
Hmm.
Alright, you do me a favor.
Keep this in the g*n rack.
Yeah, but what if
Lucans comes after me?
Come on, act your age,
you could sh**t his ears off.
Well, yes.
When I go see Mayor to get his
approval on your Deputy job,
I'd look pretty silly
trying to explain how you k*lled
a man over a girl, wouldn't it?
I see that.
How about the arrest?
Well, that's
first defense.
Thanks, Wyatt.
'I'll let you buy me a dinner
down at your motel tonight.'
I owe you a lot more
than dinner.
Well, this my
lucky day, Mr. Dealer.
Fine, good luck.
Your name Masterson?
Yeah.
Mr. Lukins was here,
he'll be back.
'He wants you to wait.'
I'm not frightened.
Let's have a nice
quite game of cards.
Fine with me.
[door opening]
You paralyzed
all of a sudden?
Where is your g*n?
It's in the rack.
Go get it.
Or maybe you're
too scared.
No. I just don't want
any trouble.
Oh, big talk.
No fight?
Alright. I'll
meet you outside.
(Dealer)
'Look out!'
You want any more?
Hold it.
I'm sorry, Wyatt.
I tried to keep up,
but he crowded me.
That's right,
Mr. Earp.
It's not that bad.
Couple of your men walk him
over to Dr. McCarty's.
You're sore at me.
I was on my way
to see the Mayor.
Now the deputy job
is all off, huh?
Well, come on, give
it to me straight.
Look, I'm not
gonna beg you.
Mr. Masterson, the deputy
can't afford to get mixed up
with women and gambling.
If you hadn't gone over
to play Faro
you might have kept out
of Lukins way.
And let everybody think
I was afraid of him?
Doesn't matter. You claim
you wanna work for me
so it's what I think.
Oh, and you're still
my school teacher, huh?
Well, I don't need any
lectures about how I gamble
or what women I run with.
- Forget the job.
- Wait a minute.
You shot Lukins
in self defense.
But I think you acted
like a trigger happy brat.
My friend..
[knock on door]
Who is it?
'Dave Pollock.
Open up.'
It's kind of
risky, isn't it?
[shutter closing]
I rather take a chance of
moving during the daylight
than being bushwhacked by
some reward hunter at night.
- Anything to drink?
- It's on the bureau.
Oh, so that's the way
it is now, huh?
[chuckling]
Little Nel ain't fetching drinks
for the dazy boy anymore.
Well, guess it's gotta be
strictly business.
We're getting the
Santa Fe payroll.
Yeah?
They bring $ , into
this town every Saturday.
But on what train,
I don't know.
Well, how it gets out
to the construction camp
that's your part
of the job.
For how much?
- The usual.
- Oh, no. That won't be enough.
- Won't it?
- No.
I'm not casing any more jobs
for two bit money
while you throw away
hundreds on her.
- And which her is that?
- Hon Blanche.
[gasps]
You listen to me.
You give me anymore trouble
and you'll get a lot worse.
You be out the camp
tomorrow night
with the information I want.
[knock on door]
Come in.
Hope I didn't keep you
waiting too long.
If you'd gotten here any sooner,
you'd have to use wings.
I don't see any wings
or any halo.
I've been around.
You mother said
you needed help.
What's the trouble?
How do you stand with
your friend, Mr. Earp?
Not good.
It won't last. You know,
I'm gonna have to
cut him in on
this pretty soon.
In on what?
I know how you can
get your deputy job
and a big chunk
of money besides.
Come on, it's safer
to talk outside.
Wyatt.
Mr. Canton, Mr. Earp.
How do you do, sir?
Mr. Canton is a detective
for the Santa Fe.
Oh. How are you?
Mighty worried.
You got a reward sheet
on Dave Pollock, his g*ng,
the train robbers?
Oh, yeah.
Mr. Canton thinks he saw
Pollock in our town.
Yes, he visited Nellie Wright
at the Dodge hotel.
Miss Nellie, huh?
She used to be his girl,
maybe she still is.
Oh, sit down,
Mr. Canton.
And that's where you and
Marshal have to come in.
I tell you the robbery
setup and you tell him.
And I want two thirds
of the reward money.
I wasn't thinking
about that.
Well, think about it,
or there's no deal.
Turning in a hoodle
on that Dave Pollock
you could get hurt.
So could you.
That's another thing.
I want Mr. Earp to promise
to make a clean sweep
of Dave and all his men.
I'd, uh, kind of
like to go on living.
I think it's
too big a risk.
Wyatt might not
believe me.
Anyway, how do I know
you're gonna stay hitched?
You think you'll report..
[galloping]
Just a cowherd,
don't get scared.
You're the one
who's scared.
Alright, I'll
tell Mr. Earp.
You go near Wyatt and
Pollock will hear about it.
Dave's in a hurry.
He's gonna want to hit
that payroll this Saturday.
I'll meet you at the
Long Branch tomorrow at .
Slip you a note.
That's a deal?
Yeah. Then I'll
tip off Wyatt.
Okay.
Well, I've one of my deputy
watch the girl, Mr. Canton.
If I were you, I wouldn't change
any of my payroll delivery.
Well, you think we can
take Pollock if he rides in?
The main thing is
not to scare him off.
One other point.
What about young Masterson?
Well, Mr. Masterson
is as honest as you are.
Thank you very much,
Mr. Earp.
I-I thought you invited me
to have dinner with you.
Why would I do that?
We're not friendly.
You really that sore?
Yes, I am. Now, get away
from me, will you?
Now, let's have some fun.
Let's go dancing or somethin'.
No, I've got to go in.
Oh, no, it ain't even
o'clock yet, Nellie.
- We're not even started yet.
- We're lot more than started.
You know, you're
pretty cute, Nellie.
Stop it.
You've had too much.
Now, go on home.
No, Nellie. Nellie,
I'd rather be with you.
Mr. Spragg,
you go home!
'Nellie!'
Nellie. Say, don't
be like that..
Excuse me.
I'm gonna look
for a little trouble.
That's right, I gotta
have some trouble.
[whistling]
What's going to
happen to me?
Nothing. Come on, Mr. Spragg,
drink your coffee.
I'll lose my job
at the railroad?
No. Not if you tell me
what you told that girl.
Well, I thought
it was a joke
how careless they
handle the payroll.
Careless, huh?
They sure are. They
put it in a gunny sack
and just throw it on a wagon
and it hauls...the camp.
Ain't that funny?
Thousands of dollars
rolling around
on a camp wagon.
That was the joke
I told the girl.
Alright.
Now, you have nothing
more to do with Miss Nellie
you understand?
Oh, never.
You want to take
Mr. Spragg home?
- Yeah, let's go home.
- Yeah, yeah.
That Masterson,
shouldn't we pick him up?
I'll take care of that
when time comes.
- Alright.
- Hey, let's go home.
Yup. We go home.
Won't you join us?
Stay a while.
No, thanks.
It's all there.
Gunny sack.
In a camp wagon?
You've been followed?
Maybe.
- Just one more question.
- What?
One of my boys saw you
talking to a young fellow.
- Bat Masterson.
- What about it?
He's a friend of
Wyatt Earp's.
They hate each other.
If you don't believe me,
have your boys ask around.
- Maybe I will.
- Go ahead, ask.
Call the whole thing off.
No, it goes tomorrow
morning, you hear me?
Oh, shut up,
I'll be there.
Come on.
Danny.
We're not going to take
a chance on Masterson.
We'll take care
of him tonight.
Good, Dave.
Want in on this bet?
No, uh, I guess
I better quit.
I've gotta see
a friend of mine.
Say, have you seen anything
of Miss Nellie Wright?
Left before noon,
hasn't come back yet.
I'll drop around later.
Meet the Pollock outfit?
Well, they've
been waiting for you.
Mr. Masterson's
coming to town?
Yeah, gambling
at the lawn match.
You missed her. She came
in and then checked out
in a big hurry.
Did she say where
she was going?
Left you a note. But she
didn't say where she was going.
- You got a pencil?
- Yes.
There you are, young man.
Send this up to
Marshal Earp, will you?
Uh, give the boy this.
If Miss Nellie hired a rig
Where's she
most likely to get it?
Louis' stables,
right across the valley.
You go out here
and turn to your right--
Thanks.
Hah!
And what right have you
to assume that Masterson
isn't in Kahoots with Pollock.
Isn't it logical he might have--
- No, sir.
- Well, why?
- Because I trust him.
- You trusthim.
Look, I'm not going
to arrest Mr. Masterson.
I'm not going to ask
him any questions.
I wouldn't want him to doubt my
honesty, I don't doubt his.
Well, then, where are we? How
can we set a trap for Pollock
if we don't know where he's
gonna jump the payroll wagon?
- I sent for him.
- Really?
Above all the stuff I missed out
of loyalty to a wild yahoo--
Excuse me.
It's from Mr. Masterson.
He says he'll see me later.
And this looks like
a case plan for the hold up.
What do think,
Mr. Canton?
Little David's garden.
Well, where's that?
It's about five miles
out of town.
It's a stretch
of boulders and brush.
Well, we'll be there. Now,
shouldn't we talk about the..
I'm gonna try and find
Mr. Masterson.
Shall I tell him
you apologize?
He's just a punk. Sure
you didn't make a mistake?
I made a mistake,
alright.
- How's that?
- Wyatt Earp and I fell out.
- What am I supposed to know?
- You know Nellie.
You were in and out
of the hotel asking for her.
If it's Ms. Nellie Wright
you're talking about
I met her on the
stage from Abilene.
Time up. We'll
take no chances.
Certainly, Mr. Pollock.
Certainly, you got me all wrong.
Get him out of here
and tie him up.
If he's so innocent,
how did he know my name?
We're gonna put a mask on him
and make him ride with us.
If he hasn't
tipped off her
he'll be just another
outlaw like us.
But if we ride into
trouble, so will he.
- Mr. Gilbert.
- 'Yeah?'
Oh-oh.
Oh. Howdy, Marshal.
Clerk over the hotel said
Mr. Masterson came over here
to ask you about a young lady
renting a rig.
A young fellow, well dressed?
He's a friend of yours?
- That's right.
- Well, I'll be..
I thought he was
just a drunk.
I saw two men loading him
into the back end of a wagon.
Why didn't you report that?
Oh, Marshal, you know they're
always collecting drunks
in these cattle outfits.
What about the girl,
Nellie Wright?
Oh, her!
But she paid me
for two days
and moved to that old boarding
house down by the Santa Fe.
Thank you.
Alright, I'll ask you
just one question.
What do you think Pollock's
going to do to Bat?
Well, if that hasn't
owned up to anything
Dave might treat him
like he did Fish Daniels.
How was that?
We weren't too sure of him on
the Hannibal and St. Joe deal.
So Dave put a mask
on him and took him along.
I see.
Are you going out there
and jump Dave tonight?
Guess I'll have to.
That's stupid.
First thing they'd do
is put a b*llet in the guy.
Then they'd scatter
in the dark.
Why don't you let them
come after the payroll?
So you could
get the reward?
Why not?
I'm risking my life.
Let Masterson
take a risk too.
There are two deputies
watching the house.
You stay here..
...or you're gonna
sleep in the jail.
Nobody fires until I've taken
my shot with the butt-line.
That goes for you, Mr. Canton,
and your Santa Fe men.
Now, if Pollock brings
Mr. Masterson along
I'm gonna try to crease
Mr. Masterson
just enough to
knock him off his horse.
Any man of mine fires,
I'll crease them.
Fine, let's
get out there.
Try to put
your mask on, Sonny.
If there's a guard on the wagon,
and he shoots me, I'm dead.
You get away with
the money, I'm an outlaw.
That's tough.
Put it on.
Alright.
Wagon's coming.
- Wyatt, Wyatt, it's me.
- Get down back.
[g*nsh*t]
Get them off the horses.
It was a stupid stunt.
I was aiming to crease you.
That's what I figured. Didn't
want a b*llet in my head.
- Alright, alright.
- It's not alright.
Why didn't you come take me
from Pollock's last night?
But, oh, no. You're
a cold-blooded John Law.
You're gonna lay up there
with your butt-line special
trying to put a crooked
part in my hair.
Relax, it's all over. You and
Nellie will get a big reward.
Hey, Paulie. How bad
did you get him?
He's finished.
