Well, there's dodge.
Let's go over
This again, clint.
When we hit
The state national in dodge,
We ain't gonna be
Playing for pennies.
I still say
It's too risky, matt.
You gettin' cold feet?
- No.
- Three different outfits
Have gone against
The state national.
Each one of them ran up
Against wyatt earp
And his deputies.
With my plan,
Earp won't know how
It happened and who did it.
Now listen.

Announcer:
Bank robbery in ranked
With train robbery.
They were big money crimes
And only the most desperate men
Risked their lives
Attempting them.
Thus, when matt
And his half-brother
Clint dunbar
Got set to take the bank
In a big cow town
Like dodge city,
Marshal wyatt earp was facing
Shrewd, clever operators
Who would stop at nothing.
- Good morning, mr. Cummings.
- Morning, marshal.
How long before the...
New electric bell's
Hooked up?
Oh, a couple of hours.
Is it that urgent?
Well, I hope not,
But the dunbars got a bank
In wichita last week.
Oh, by the way,
Mr. Cummings,
This is
My new chief deputy,
Shotgun gibbs.
Well, I haven't met
Mr. Gibbs, but I've heard
About his shotgun.
Old-fashioned g*n.
She don't run
By electricity.
Now if you fellas ever
Do have a holdup here,
Don't try to be heroes.
Just kick a switch
As soon as you can
Without causing
Too much attention.
But won't the robber sh**t
At them when the bell rings,
- If it does?
- Well, mr. Cummings,
This is
The first electric bell
West of kansas city.
- I think the dunbars
Will even be puzzled.
- ( Chuckles )
Howdy, stranger.
Howdy.
( Sighs )
- Water and feed, huh?
- Yes sir.
Know a hotel that
Don't cost too much?
Sure, santa fe house
Down by the depot.
Thanks.
Whoa.
Say, I like this town.
They buy things here.
Well, I'm glad you found
Some business, mr. Thurston.
Well, thank you, sir.
Tomorrow I'll try
And sell you
A carpet
For your whole stable.
Carpet for the...?
- Oh! Go on.
- ( Laughs )
( Sighs )
The name is
John b. Thurston, friend.
I sell carpets and drapes
By mail order.
Hanley brothers,
Saint louis.
Then you want a room
And a parlor?
Yes sir, the best.
Oh, mr. Orcott,
One of our salesmen,
May join me tomorrow.
I'll pay for two
In advance if you like.
That won't be necessary.
You just sign in
For yourself.
And if mr. Orcott comes in,
He can register then.
Thank you, friend.
Yes sir, dodge is
A fine, hospitable town.
- Parlor suite b.
- Thank you. Thank you, friend.
( Crickets chirping )
- Did you case the bank?
- Looks easy--
A teller and a cashier.
They open at : .
- What about the hotel?
- Your name is orcott.
You sell
For hanley brothers.
You'll have to
Sneak in the back door.
Parlor suite b.
Just have that sample case
Open in the buggy when
I hit the street.
I'll be there.
Would you put
That thing down?
Now one of these days
You're gonna get excited
- And blow my head off.
- It ain't cocked.
( Yawns )
Say, there's a telegram
Come for ya.
Peaceful night last night.
Nary a shot fired.
Good.
Get yourself
Something to eat
And then turn in, huh?
Hmm. No reliable description
Of matt and clint dunbar,
Always wear masks.
Guess I'll have to wire
The pinkertons.
Them bank robbers
Fidgeting you?
Yeah.
I reckon I am
A mite prejudiced
Against bank robbery.
( Birds chirping )
( Soft chattering )
( Whispering )
- Mr. Jones?
- L.t. Jones
From mobeetie, texas.
My name's cummings.
I understand you want
To make a deposit.
Sold my spread,
Got quite a wad of cash.
Well, we pay %
For timed deposit,
% On open account.
Of course, we usually have
- A state bond
That pays anywhere--
- ( Softly ) see this?
It's nitroglycerin.
Now if I drop it
On the floor--
Oh no no.
Well-- well, what is this?
- A practical joke?
- It's a holdup.
Walk me to the safe.
( Normal voice )
All right, mr. Cummings.
I'd like to see the safe.
This about all the money
I got in the world
And I'm a careful man.
Never did have
Much confidence in safes.
Just wanna make sure
No robbers can come in here
And bust it open
With a stick of dynamite.
( Whispers )
It'd blow you up too.
( Whispering )
I don't care,
And you do.
Hand me the cash, quick.
( Normal voice )
Looks good and solid,
Mr. Cummings.
I don't think
Anybody's gonna
Bust open this big door.
- ( Whispers ) faster!
- I don't think that--
( Normal voice )
I'm satisfied, mr. Cummings.
Now let's go over
And make out
My deposit slip.
- Mr. Cummings.
- He'll blow us up!
He's got nitrogl--
- ( Men chatter )
- ( Bell ringing )
- Out of town.
Drive slow.
- Right.
Set up your roadblocks.
I'm heading for the bank.
Man with a beard,
Did you see him?
- What's that, mister?
- Man with a curly black beard!
- Where'd he go?
- Oh, that fellow.
He went across there.
- Hey, what's that bell?
- ( Men chattering )
Hey, hold up there!
Hold up there!
Hold up there!
Just turn that
There buggy back around.
Ain't nobody leaving town.
- What's the idea?
- Ain't you hear that
There bell?
Somebody's done tried
To rob the bank.
- Oh.
- Move!
( Ringing continues )
Hey, the bank's been robbed!
I'm a special deputy.
Watch the office
For me, will ya?
Of course, of course.
Whoa.
Now you say he was
About medium build,
Black beard,
Dressed like a cattleman?
- That's right.
- We both got a good look
At him.
- And you ran outside?
- Yes sir.
- Well, anybody in sight?
- Just some drummer in a buggy.
He said the man ran
Across the street.
I looked,
No sign of him.
Well, would you recognize
The drummer?
- Well, I was pretty excited.
- Get the man with the beard,
Mr. Earp.
If you've closed the roads,
He's still in town.
( Knocking frantically
On door )
- Who is it?
- Clint. Let me in, quick.
Come on.
Don't get sore.
They had every street blocked.
No nerve--
I always knew it.
- Oh, cool off, will ya?
- Where's the money?
I had to hide it
At the livery stable.
I oughta cut
Your throat.
Look, your idea'll still
Outsmart this cow-town marshal.
You'll look
Entirely different
Without the beard.
Put on your drummer's outfit
And nobody can finger you.
Where did you hide
The money?
In a whole binful
Of oat sacks.
We can get out of this
If we quit fighting
And use our heads.
- Where's earp now?
- At the bank, I reckon.
The first thing
For you to do is to come
To the front of this hotel
And register as jeff orcott.
Yeah, that's right.
How did I get here?
All the roads are blocked.
They're letting people
Into town.
No.
Maybe you'd better say you
Got here before the stickup.
I'll josh you
For hanging around
And rubbering at the bank.
( Chuckles )
The clerk'll believe that.
Maybe.
How long will earp keep
The roads guarded?
Not long.
He ain't got enough men.
We can wait him out.
That beard trick
Worked perfect, matt.
I told you
To quit underestimating
That johnny law.
- But I only said--
- Any man who can bottle up
A town like this in a minute
Ain't stupid.
If earp nabs me,
You go for the boys.
Well, sure,
But how can earp nab you?
The whole job depended
On you gettin' out of dodge
With the money.
You didn't do it!
But I told you.
I didn't know
About that bell.
It's a new deal now.
We got , ,
Maybe more...
Stashed in a risky spot.
Someone's bound to have
Seen you near the bank.
Earp'll be around
Asking questions.
Sit down.
Think up some answers.
- This thurston's rig?
- Yes sir.
I asked him to watch
The office for me. I guess
He got tired of waiting.
- Where's he staying?
- Dodge house.
Anybody else
Come in here last night?
Just one man--
Fella with a black beard.
- A black beard, huh?
- Yes sir.
- Did he give his name?
- No, just asked about a hotel.
Was he one
Of the robbers?
( Sighs )
The only one.
- Now you keep
That g*n handy.
- Yes sir.
I'm impounding this rig
And that saddle horse.
You arrest anybody
That even asks about 'em.
Yes sir.
- Hello, emmett.
- Hello, marshal.
So you have
A mr. Thurston
Registered here?
Thurston?
Yes, we have.
( Chuckles,
Vocalizes tune )
Thurston, j.b.
Drummer from saint louis.
Mmm. What's his room number?
Oh, he ain't in his room.
Him and his friend are
Eating in the bar.
- Friend?
- Name's orcott.
They peddle
For the same firm.
Is that so?
- Point 'em out
To me, will you?
- Certainly, marshal.
Mr. Earp.
Didn't waste much time.
- You talk to him.
- Right.
Which one of you gentlemen
Is mr. Thurston?
Well, that's me, friend--
John b.
Oh, and this is mr. Orcott.
He covers east texas
For the firm.
Hi.
I'd like
To ask mr. Thurston
A few questions.
Help yourself.
I've already ate.
- See you later, jack.
- Won't be long.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Your friend
Just have a shave?
He shaves every morning,
Same as you and me. Why?
Well, I was just admiring
His shaving lotion.
- Do you know the brand?
- Well, I never paid
Any attention,
- But I'll ask him if you like.
- No, it doesn't matter.
Mr. Thurston,
The teller at the bank said
That you were near the door
When the holdup man left.
Well, that's right, marshal.
( Chuckles )
Liked to have scared the living
Daylights out of me too.
- What's your line?
- Rugs and drapes.
I was planning on seeing
The bank people about
Placing an order.
( Chuckles )
It was a good thing
I was late.
I might've been shot.
I doubt it.
I'll see you around.
( Footsteps approaching )
Wyatt says to stake out
This here barn.
- Yup, so he told me.
- Is there a back door?
- Yeah.
- ( Horse whinnies )
Somebody in there
Right now.
- You go around the corner
And watch the back.
- Right.
Come out of there!
Mister, you toss
That pop g*n on the floor
And come out of there
Or I'll blow you through
The end of the barn.
Wyatt!
Well, if it isn't mr. Orcott.
I thought you were
A rug salesman.
He was a'skulking
Around in here.
You got any idea why?
Hey, you blowed
The whole end out
Of my feed bin!
We'll pay for it,
And I'll take mr. Orcott
Over to the bank.
Take these sacks
Out of here,
Search the bin
And stalls.
Probably stashed
The money in here.
And none of you can say
This is the man?
The robber had a black
Curly beard, marshal.
He was the same general build
As this fella,
But I couldn't
Hardly say they ever
Looked very much alike.
Well, if he shaved
And changed his clothes--
Why don't you give up?
You've got the wrong man
And you know it.
We'll see what
You look like with a beard.
I shave every day.
Not in jail
You won't, mister.
Hey! What's this?
It's the bank's money.
I'll tell you--
That wyatt earp's
Smarter than
A ring-tailed rac--
Hyah.
- Ooh!
- Now hold still.
I don't deserve to be
No chief deputy, wyatt.
I shoulda knowed
There mighta been
Two of 'em out there.
It's my fault,
Shotgun.
- How was it?
- Well, I should've warned you.
I wasn't certain myself.
Now hold still, this is
Gonna hurt.
( Groans )
Oh, by the way,
The pinkertons came through
With a good description
Of matt and clint dunbar.
I'm certain that the one
We've got in there is matt.
The one that got away
With the money is his
Half-brother clint.
Well, you don't seem
To be taking it
To heart much.
No.
'Cause I think clint'll
Round up some of the g*ng,
- Come back after matt.
- I sure hope they do.
There you are.
There's no sense in having
The fight here in town.
We'll get some deputies
And trail clint.
That's risky, ain't it?
I always figured
When I had my trout baited
For catamount,
I'd stay close by.
What if we lose
Clint's trail?
Well, we won't.
The horse that clint took
Was left for shoeing--
Got no irons
On his front hooves.
Well, he can be trailed,
Can't he?
Yup, day or night.
Another thing, shotgun,
Clint's too smart to try
And bull his way back in here
With a bunch of outlaws
On horseback.
He'll try to pull
Some kind of trick
To get back in town,
So we'll need some deputies.
You go pick 'em and I'll--
- I'll join you in a minute.
- Right.
And I don't have to tell
You that matt and me always
Whack up fair and square.
We pulled that job
As a two-man deal
Because it was
A new idea in bank-robbing.
It didn't work
Too well, clint.
How do we know your plan
To spring matt is gonna
Work any better?
It's got to work!
Now matt sent you
The money.
I don't think
He'd take it very friendly
If you boys were to ride off
And leave him in jail.
- Do you?
- We all think a lot of matt.
Any more questions?
No. We hit
That stage at sunup.
Looks like they're headed for
The great western stage route.
That'd be one way to do it.
How do you mean?
Capturing the stage,
Riding it into dodge city.
Cole younger pulled
A trick like that once--
Independence, missouri.
Come on, let's double back
On the stage track to dodge.
( Shouts )
Clint:
Hold on!
Hold up there!
- Whoa!
- Clint: throw that g*n down.
Now climb down.
- Everybody out!
- Whoa.
( Whistles )
Hey! Hah!
- Roscoe, you're sure
A pretty-looking mule.
- Man: hyah!
- Wyatt.
- ( Stage rattling )
The hoodlums
Always overdo it.
- What's wrong?
- The # never carried
A shotgun guard.
Mr. Gibbs, you reckon
You can stop that stage?
I reckon I can...
One way or the other.
Then go ahead.
We'll cover you.
Get out of here, roscoe.
Hah! Hyah!
Looks like
They wanna play.
- Hyah!
- Hey!
All right, hold it!
Drop 'em!
Throw 'em down there!
Go on!
Throw it down!
All right,
Bring him around--
The other man.
Why don't you men
Get back in the wagon,
Start patching
Each other up? Go on.
- You blundering fool.
- Oh shut up!
( Clangs )
Well, mr. Dunbar,
That's a nice little stubble
Of beard you've got there.
In about a week,
You'll be ready
For identification.
What about
The rest of 'em, wyatt?
Do they get to shave?
I'll tell you, shotgun--
I'd like to give 'em all razors
And let 'em go
To work on each other.
But the law of kansas
Won't allow it.
Lock it.
