[soft humming]
(male narrator)
Bat Masterson, after a term
as sheriff of Ford County
started drifting in search
of romance and excitement.
Texas cow towns to mining towns
and the Black hills.
Bat tried to live it up.
Then he fell in love with
a girl named Cora Watrous
and returned to Dodge City
full of big ideas
which he expected his old
friend Wyatt Earp, to share.
You and Al register
at the Dodge house.
I'll go set
the deal with Wyatt.
- Alright, don't get lost.
- Hmm.
- And don't tell Earp too much.
- I know how to handle Wyatt.
You powder you nose, angel.
Deacon likes them spic and span.
Hiya, Wyatt.
Oh, no!
Remember me?
Yeah, I think I do.
Bat..
...Bat Masterson.
What'd you do,
strike it rich?
Well, not yet,
but...soon.
We'd better get off the street.
The whole town will be talking.
- Come on.
- Okay.
So I told Al and Cora
I wanted my old pal
the Deacon in on this.
Just wait till you
get a good look at Cora.
I tell you, she's the girl for
me. This time it's for keeps.
What's the matter?
Don't you like the plan?
Well, I think-I think ranching
can be mighty practical.
(Bat)
'Practical! You ought
to see this Wyoming spread.'
I tell you there's
grass up to your knees
and water in the rivers
all year round.
Al Watrous, wasn't he in some
kind of trouble in Missouri?
That's been settled.
Al's been straight for years.
Look, Wyatt, I'm tryin' to cut
you in on a legitimate deal.
Well, the trouble is,
Mr. Masterson
I can't quite imagine you
settling down to ranching.
That mean you don't
want a share?
Well, let's put it
this way, Mr. Masterson.
If you need money
to put this deal over
I'll be happy to lend it
to you...old times' sake.
Thanks, Wyatt. I did pretty well
in a gambling streak.
That was just luck,
Mr. Masterson.
And don't you ever forget
that it was just luck.
I hope you
have a lot more.
Cora-Cora wants to meet you.
- At least you can meet her.
- I'll be very happy to.
I'll buy you all the best dinner
that Dodge City has to offer.
o'clock, huh?
We'll meet.
Thanks, Wyatt.
I knew you were my friend.
Uh, why don't you
leave this here, huh?
Yeah. o'clock.
I don't like this tie up
between Masterson and Earp.
Oh, we need
to keep Earp friendly.
Till we buy that herd
and start west.
How about you and Bat?
Baby face is a nice fella.
They come.
Why can't you be practical?
We need his money
to swing this deal.
- Are you figuring to marry him?
- Al, don't talk silly.
We agreed I should sell him
the idea of us going straight.
Now, behave yourself.
Isn't she a honey, Wyatt?
Yeah, she's real pretty.
You know, I'm
kinda-kinda jealous.
I don't understand it, Mr. Earp.
Why hasn't some
bright girl picked you up?
Well..
Lot of them have tried, Cora.
Wyatt's still faithful
to his wife.
She died back in Illinois.
Oh, I didn't know.
I am sorry.
It's quite alright. Things
like that happen sometimes.
I hate to break this up
but we've got a deal to close.
I'm sure the Marsh
will excuse us.
Sure.
Big deal, Wyatt.
They brought head
from Riley & Sons.
Oh, good.
Them brands look
alright to me.
But they're leaving
in the morning at sun up.
Well, here it is,
Clay County, Missouri.
It's over three years
old though.
Al Watrous, Jim Givens,
Walley Stone.
Hmm. Bat ought not to be riding
with a hoodlum like Watrous.
Bat happens to be
in love with Al's sister.
Kansas federal warrant.
Bat says that
Al's going straight.
Yeah. He's going
straight alright.
Straight to
Hole-in-the-wall, Wyoming.
That hideout
on the outlaw trail?
Who told you?
One of them riders
that Watrous tried to hire.
You know, Wyatt, I think
we better recheck them
cattle brands when it's
light enough to see for sure.
No. Mr. Masterson is
a good old friend of mine.
He gave me his word that
Watrous is reformed.
I never have hounded
a man for his past.
We'll have to wait.
Well, it won't take too long.
'Cause there's lots of John Laws
between here and Wyoming.
That herd will
be checked again.
Yeah.
[intense music]
[music continues]
Some Tin Stars after us, boss.
- What for?
- They checkin' brands.
They held that Colorado outfit
at the Smokey River, two days.
John Laws, how many?
Four when they left
the Smokey, Ms. Cora.
Where's Bat?
He's ridin' point for the herd.
Maybe miles west.
Then we better take
the Tin Stars back here.
Go get Rats and Burke and Casey.
They're riding tail end.
Be quiet about it. We don't
want Masterson to interfere.
- Yes, ma'am.
- And hurry.
You keep out of this.
I don't want you losing
your nerve at the last minute.
Drive ahead
and pull into those rocks.
Not yet.
Get down.
Wait till they get
in point blank range.
Right.
Now.
[g*nshots]
Ho! Ho!
Let's get out of here.
[g*nshots]
Cora, get their horses.
- 'They're getting away.'
- Shut up.
- We got two of them.
- The others will bring a posse.
Not this close
to the Wyoming line.
You men get back to the herd.
I've been back here twice.
Where've you been?
(Al)
'Had a little trouble.'
Some rustlers jumped down on
his men at the end of the herd.
They dropped a couple
and...the others ran.
Oh.
I said we're movin' on.
Al's afraid the rustlers
might jump us again.
He wants to keep
on the move until sun down.
Those steers are tired.
So are the men.
I'm telling you
we move on.
We're partners.
You don't tell me anything!
Stop it.
Both of you.
Anymore of this John, I quit.
Oh, honey, I'm sorry.
Al and I are friends.
Isn't it right, Al?
Oh, sure. Sure.
We're friends.
Wyatt, there's a telegram come
for you about five minutes ago.
"Deputy Marshal Anderson
and Sheriff Mitchell m*rder*d
"near Greeley, Colorado,
while trying to investigate
"cattle drive led by
Al Watrous, Missouri outlaw.
"Your friend Masterson reported
to be with the Watrous outfit.
"Request your
immediate cooperation.
Please wire me at once.
John. T Grimes. US Marshal."
Bat won't have anything
to do with that.
Bat is tucked in
by that girl, Wyatt.
Yeah, I know.
I'm gonna head for the Santa Fe
depot. You get Mayor Kelly.
- 'That's a mighty long trail.'
- And I'm takin' it.
I'll go as far as I can
by train and then stagecoach.
Ooh.
I'll buy the grub. You take
your horse and ride ahead.
Al and the boys may need
help with the cattle.
Oh, now. I need a drink, honey.
Sally's Camp.
It's the only store
and saloon around?
Not a town in miles.
You getting cold feet?
I wouldn't be lancin'
with you, honey.
That's my boy.
You and Al have been
getting along great.
Thanks.
I'll-I'll tie up the horse.
[knocking]
(Cora)
'Hey, Sally, open up,
it's Cora Watrous.'
Alright, Cora.
Wait a minute.
Come on in.
Mr. Masterson, say hello
to Sally Roweday.
Howdy, ma'am.
Saw you kissing.
You're gonna marry Cora?
Well, I sure am.
He's kinda cute.
- Help yourself at the bar.
- Well, thank you. I will.
Ah...I wanna talk
to you, Cora. It's important.
Of course.
Won't be long, honey.
Alright.
[intense music]
(Sally)
'And it was a posse
out of Colorado.'
Now you folks stay
in Hole-in-the-Wall.
I can't afford
to have you around here.
Al thought
they were rustlers.
Rustlers!
I don't care about that.
His name's on the dodger,
Al Watrous!
Alright. We'll buy
supplies for a month.
And fix it with them other
outfits at the Hole.
There are some mighty mean boys
camping there.
Al's doing that
right now.
We'll keep you
clean, Sally.
As clean as you can get.
Without a bath.
Now, don't you
get sassy with me.
Simmer down, will you?
You can take a joke.
For cash.
Now listen here..
Ha ha ha!
Grub for head.
Enough to last a month.
Drive the wagon round back,
will you, honey?
Why do we need grub
for a month?
It's only seven miles
to the ranch.
Well, I know it is,
but we have to collect our share
of free range
in Hole-in-the-Wall first.
Hole-in-the-Wall?
That's an outlaw hangout.
What is this, Cora?
I'll explain
when the wagon's loaded.
Get moving, will you?
Please!
Alright.
Alright.
[door closes]
Don't he know?
- Not yet.
- What do you mean to say--
Stop talking and help me
with this grub list.
Alright, now what's this deal
about Hole-in-the-Wall?
Just what I said.
We collect some free range.
From the rustlers
in the Hole.
They won't bother us.
Al should have told me.
Well, he wanted to but
I didn't want anymore arguments.
I'm right in the middle.
Want a deal, baby face?
I'll get Al to cut
the grazing to two weeks.
We'll move out to the ranch
and I'll marry you.
- I don't know.
- Never mind.
There's your horse.
We'll buy you out as soon
as we sell the steers.
No! You're marrying me.
Uh! That sounds better.
[soft music]
Come on, move!
I wanna know why you turned
the herd away
from the ranch
without telling me.
I was scared that you're
a Johnny Law at heart.
What's that got
to do with it?
Our spread is two miles east
of Hole-in-the-Wall, Bat.
That means we have to get along
with the outlaws who hide there.
If we don't
they raid our cattle.
- Sure, I see that--
- Look, look.
Cora doesn't want us
to have anymore arguments.
She don't like it.
She'll run out on us.
- You want that to happen?
- No.
Alright. Forget it.
[intense music]
[music continues]
Who are you?
Name's Bob Anderson.
Suppose to meet a couple
of my friends here.
Where they comin' from?
Robbers' Roost, down south.
You on the run?
Maybe.
Why don't you go over
to Hole-in-the-Wall?
It's safer.
Friends said
they'd meet me here.
Hmph!
Well, boarding and lodging
is five dollars a day
and extra dollar
for each horse.
Thank you.
Here.
Put that on my account.
Tonka.
Take care of the horses.
Don't give 'em
too much water.
- Make yourself at home.
- Thank you, ma'am.
Hey, Tonka. You have
to take care of the horses.
Make a sneak for it
to the Hole.
Tell Cora Watrous
I got a stranger here.
Looks mighty like
Johnny Law to me.
Where are you goin'
in such a rush, hon?
Got an errand.
Lift 'em.
You jokin'?
(Cora)
'No, he isn't.'
Sally's Injun just brought word
she has a stranger in camp.
Why are you afraid
of a stranger at Sally's?
Maybe he's one of your
Tin Star friends.
We ain't takin' any chances.
- Cora, this is hoodlum stuff.
- 'Is it?'
You know it is. Has Al pulled
something I don't know about?
Keep him tied up
until I get back.
Better we finish him up
right now.
No! It's not necessary yet.
Hide him inside.
And if I'm not back
in two hours, you come after me.
I will.
Hold!
Sally!
Ah!
The great Marshal Earp.
Ms. Cora, how are you?
You have no authority
out here.
You wanna see
a federal badge?
What have I done?
When associating with outlaws,
I'm gonna take a nice long ride.
Oh, fine. We'll go right into
the Hole and arrest my brother.
Well, I'm not quite
that stupid.
Your brother's gonna come out
of the Hole-in-the-Wall
and learn what happened to you.
You can't away with this.
Al is bound to trail us.
That's exactly what
I want him to do.
Come on.
Leave this for Al.
Trade you for Mr. Masterson.
- How is Mr. Masterson?
- He's dead.
Well, I doubt that.
- Now, climb on that horse.
- I will not.
- I said get on the horse.
- Don't touch me.
I guess I'll have
to put you on it.
No!
I guess I'll have
to tie you on.
And you stay in that cell..
...otherwise you find
yourself hanging head down.
Just take it easy.
You coward! You bully!
Look, anymore talk out of you
and I'm gonna put a gag on you.
Now, just hold still.
[intense music]
[music continues]
That's Cora's rig.
Sally!
Sally!
Looks like trouble.
Cover me.
[mumbling]
- What happened?
- Oh, a marshal named Earp.
- He took your sister.
- Took her where?
How should I know?
He had us tied up.
Uh, two can play that game.
- What is it, Al?
- That marshal arrested Cora.
They're headed
for Stone Canyon.
I left Masterson
at the cabin.
You and Casey ride back
and untie him.
- Bring him here quick.
- Alright.
Earp thinks I won't fight
for fear of hurting Cora.
Just wait till he sees
Masterson pushed in front of us.
'Now, hurry.'
[horse nickering]
Hold it.
This isn't far enough.
About a thousand miles
and Al would still get you.
I couldn't stand your company
for a thousand miles.
Get down from it.
I'm not Mr. Masterson
or any other easy mock.
Now you get up that hill
and behave yourself.
'Come on, move.'
[intense music]
I think they're
up in those rocks.
I hope so. He can k*ll
all three of you from there.
We'll keep him upfront.
Ride in line behind him.
I thought you had nerve, Al.
What's Earp got?
Hiding behind my sister.
Let's get around these rocks.
Stay close behind him. Let's go.
No wonder Al got
kicked out of Missouri.
Put Bat on the lead horse.
Is that stupid too?
Yes, it sure is.
You better hustle down there
and warn Al.
No!
If you take him alive you'll say
I was in on that ambush.
Lady, now I know
all about you.
- Get on your feet.
- No! No!
Get on your feet
and get down there.
Cut her loose
or Bat gets it.
I don't want her.
[g*nshots]
[g*nshots continue]
[g*nshots continue]
You alright?
Yeah. You're alright.
You ride Ms. Cora's horse.
I'll ride my own.
What about me?
You can walk back
to Sally's camp.
It's only
about - miles.
Bat!
Al, are you gonna stand
for this?
I'm not gonna walk across
that wilderness.
Al, are you scared to stick up
for your own sister?
I'll take care of Earp as soon
as the jury turns me loose.
Oh! So you're going
to blame it on me.
I didn't say that.
Mr. Earp, I'm ready
to turn state's evidence.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I wouldn't use
a witness like you.
Move out.
[intense music]
You can't leave me here!
You can't do this!
