00:04:24I don't know ma'am you're a councilman and you drew mr. Halliburton why can't
00:04:30you do something about it we're waiting for Marshall Evans you know there must
00:04:34be a good reason why he didn't arrest Britain
00:04:43well case Britain I knew this town would do for some excitement glad to see you
00:04:48Kate well you must be the only one in town who is looking good Jim hey what is
00:04:52this Marshall's he under arrest technically no I just don't want any
00:04:57trouble well you're going to get it Tom whether you want it or not Cantrell and
00:05:01his gang are headed in this direction by nightfall they should be 20 25 miles
00:05:06from here Cantrell what would he want here the
00:05:11$75,000 on the stage is doing at 3 o'clock that's a secret shipment how'd
00:05:17you know about it from Cantrell himself he got the information how I don't know
00:05:23you talked with him yeah I saw him in Laramie he figured I'd join up with him
00:05:28well I'm not letting that stage go through can't keep that money here Jim
00:05:33if you do he'll hit the town to get it we've got a good marshal men to back him
00:05:38up the money will be put in the bank vault they won't get it maybe maybe not
00:05:46but it's what Cantrell's gonna do to this town how strong is he case he's got
00:05:54nine men and himself spring roundups on every cowpoke on the range I doubt that
00:06:02we could raise even nine he knows you're here to tell all right I rode with him
00:06:11during the war when he was a raider when the war was over he turned out lost so I
00:06:15left he'll gun for you he hates any man who ever rode for him and quit case you
00:06:24didn't come here to warn me or the town or even Jim about that $75,000 that's
00:06:30right Tom Cantrell was gonna hit the stage once it left town and kill
00:06:34everybody on it so I've got my own reasons for stopping him and what's the
00:06:40reason passenger on the stage a lady that's why I want to stay in Rock Valley
00:06:47until the stage gets in well I can't give you that permission case it's gonna
00:06:52have to come from the town council Thomas will make any difference tell him
00:06:56my guns will back you up there's a showdown with Cantrell and I'd like all
00:07:03right you stick around I'll call the council together I'll go with the hotel
00:07:06and clean up but Daniel's a lever ain't you a room stay with me case you can use
00:07:13my place thank you Jim I'll check back with you later all right
00:07:27it seems to me Marshall you've exceeded your authority leaving an armed criminal
00:07:31loose in this town well when you know my reasons you'll think different why can't
00:07:35you tell us now not here you have the whole town in a panic we'll meet my
00:07:38office in an hour we'll be there and you'd better have a good excuse for not
00:07:41throwing case Britain at a jail when I have to start giving excuses for what I
00:07:45do I'll turn in my badge
00:07:55Charlie every still in Rock Valley I would wonder when you're gonna ask that
00:08:00now that I did Jim why don't you forget it case the town hasn't forgotten why
00:08:06should I Jim you kill both of Carl's sons if it was revenge you wanted well
00:08:13you got it why don't you forget the whole thing but Jim my brother was
00:08:17marshal in this town before Tom Evans and I say he was doing his duty when he
00:08:22went after every boys and they killed him nobody's been able to find anything
00:08:26crooked against Carl Avery or his son maybe nobody wanted to look Jim
00:08:30everybody's got the biggest ranch in Rock Valley his business keeps this town
00:08:35alive the people here aren't apt to bite the hand that feeds them case all this
00:08:41was five years ago long gone you digging up things against Carl Avery
00:08:46can't do any good it's it's we got other troubles now
00:08:53I'll do the best I can
00:09:11afternoon mr. Avery where's Britain I was hoping you'd stay out of town
00:09:20mr. Avery asked you a question Marshall our case will only be in town a few
00:09:26hours while he's here I don't want any trouble from you and that's an order
00:09:31you're gone fast enough to give me orders Michael my fights not with you
00:09:36Tom I pay link Roy to protect my interests and my biggest interest is
00:09:43killing case Britain I've got a lot to say in Rock Valley mr. Avery not enough
00:09:48to kill a man sure town council's meeting in a little
00:09:52while they'll decide about Britain what's to decide all he wants to do is
00:09:57meet a girl coming in on the stage the one that gets in at three yes well we'll
00:10:04see who does it aside
00:10:34Oh
00:10:52Britain we've been wondering where you were something you want to talk about
00:10:59yeah you got your guns on link Roy thinks he's faster than you yeah I've
00:11:07heard he's pretty fast but since when are you hiring a paid
00:11:11gun hog since you murdered my two boys they say you're a tough one let's find
00:11:18out I told the marshal I'd give him no trouble I answer for this town Britain
00:11:24so I understand right now I've got to take care of my horse but some other
00:11:31time I'd be glad to oblige you you're weaseling Britain you're yellow
00:11:42you might clear out I came this far to meet that stage he won't be leaving we
00:11:50got until three o'clock
00:11:55Oh
00:12:03much further
00:12:08I'll say we'd be on time getting anxious some oh it's nice being young and
00:12:15looking forward to marriage maybe this man's gonna be a little hard to tame oh
00:12:20you'll be up to it Henry came real nice double harness ain't too bad once a man
00:12:27gets the hang of it oh you say you're going to be a singer I was up in Casper
00:12:33I sang loud enough at the saloons that's about all I guess I know about everybody
00:12:38in Rock Valley but you say your fellas name is I didn't
00:12:50I
00:13:00read you're taking care of your horse he didn't want to do business with me I had
00:13:05to pay him double no that hypocritical money-grabbing snake case I've been
00:13:12wanting to ask you this girl is coming in on the stage
00:13:16Della Haynes we're gonna be married well say that's something you figuring on
00:13:24being married around here oh I don't think a minister will turn down my
00:13:28business Jim well you sure picked a good time to do it with Avery and link Roy
00:13:34gunning for you the Cantrell gang looking down our
00:13:37throats I had no choice Jim if I hadn't met Della here she'd have been killed on
00:13:42the stage Jim yeah how do you suppose Cantrell found out about that $75,000
00:13:55it sure beats me it's a cattle Association shipment bought from
00:13:59Casper Laramie nobody but the top officials knew about it and it's their
00:14:04money so they couldn't have tipped off Cantrell is Avery a member of the
00:14:07cattlemen's Association Avery you're thinking that Avery might be mixed up
00:14:12with somebody like Cantrell just asking Jim case Avery's a rich man he doesn't
00:14:19need the money even if you hated him twice as much as you do you couldn't
00:14:22tie him in with Cantrell you still haven't mentioned my question Jim Avery
00:14:28is an independent he doesn't belong to the Association does that answer your
00:14:34question
00:14:43are you figuring on handle Britain get back away from anything we start some
00:14:51things a man can't back away from get something special enough special enough
00:15:03the council's meeting now well we'll leave them alone for ten minutes and go
00:15:08help them make up their minds look even if we let Cantrell have the money
00:15:18shipment give it to him what guarantee have you got that he won't hit us anyway
00:15:23you know sometimes liquor food and women a little more important it can be
00:15:29handled and I still refuse to accept help from a notorious killer like case
00:15:33Britain but you men can't handle guns all right now I'd accept help from the
00:15:42devil himself so would I if I thought we could trust the devil behind our backs
00:15:49all right I know case Britain's on the low but as long as the majority feels
00:15:55the way you do I guess we'll have to get along without Britain well all I can say
00:15:59is if I didn't have a lifetime stake in this town I wouldn't raise a hand to
00:16:03help it now that I've settled there's no reason why Britain should stay here any
00:16:08longer no I reckon not so if you want me to order him out well that seems to be
00:16:15the decision for Mr. Avery Avery afternoon gentlemen afternoon you fellas
00:16:23on the committee reach a decision about case Britain well mr. Avery you'll be
00:16:28glad to hear we voted for the marshal to to order Britain out of town well
00:16:33that's not exactly polite is it man but but we thought that that you why are you
00:16:42so interested in keeping him here Marshall I only answer questions when I
00:16:46feel like maybe you feel like it now mr. Avery you want to keep him here so you
00:16:51can kill him I'm not a killer but I certainly won't stop link Roy from
00:16:56defending himself maybe link Roy here's the one that ought to get out of town
00:17:01you know at the end of roundup my hands will be spending two maybe three
00:17:06thousand dollars here in Rock Valley instead of going to say Millville
00:17:12actually if you men don't appreciate my business oh but we do mr. Avery we do we
00:17:20always count on the boys from the Rocking Age having their fun right here
00:17:23in Rock Valley how long should we let Britain stay in town stay oh let's be
00:17:31generous fellas I'd say let him stay as long as he lives well I'd say that's a
00:17:42wise thing to do a marshal maybe we'd use Britain's guns on the posse after
00:17:46all posse well may as well tell you the whole town will know soon enough anyway
00:17:54Cantrell and his gang are on the way here to grab that shipment from the
00:17:57stage how did you know about it case Britain brought the news Jim here is
00:18:04gonna transfer the money to the bank by the way we figured when Cantrell
00:18:08realizes what's happened he's gonna hit the town oh you and link gonna join up
00:18:15with the posse what oh yeah sure you can count on Barker too thanks let me
00:18:23know when you need us
00:18:36well 22 minutes to 3 better get ready to transfer that money when it gets here
00:18:45I've written on that posse we could have trouble they have to you to see it
00:18:57he isn't on it you take care of it when he comes out to meet the stage let us
00:19:02know
00:19:11much further pretty soon
00:19:24remember what I told you about Avery keep your eyes open sure Jim I don't
00:19:30think Della would appreciate a gunfight on our wedding day no stage will be
00:19:34here any minute from here on in the fats in the fire yeah
00:19:50stage is coming in
00:20:00get that box in the office and put the horses down the stable we're not
00:20:14supposed to change horse till we get the Laramie just do as I say I'll explain it
00:20:17to you later
00:20:30hi Della hi tall fella
00:20:36now let me look at you you look just like I wanted you to covered with dust
00:20:44you can freshen up here in Jim Ferguson's place no hotel well it's a
00:20:54long story Della come on let's go
00:21:00you're the girl supposed to marry case Britain I don't think that's your
00:21:07business Lane it's the whole town's business this man's a murderer lady he
00:21:15killed two men here without giving him a chance you're looking at seeing him on
00:21:18the end of a rope call off your dog Avery I don't want trouble now he's a
00:21:23free man Britain he speaks for himself you're not getting married here not in
00:21:27Rock Valley I'm gonna see that you don't unless you think otherwise Britain
00:21:37let's go inside
00:21:46all right Lake I'm gonna give you the only kind of trouble I can afford right
00:21:50now
00:21:58Oh
00:22:12who started it link case is trying to settle it without a gun
00:22:27Oh
00:22:44he's dead Britain you've killed one of my men in my town and you'll pay for it
00:22:51you'll never leave here alive
00:22:57get your gun you'll still need it
00:23:04all right go on about your business all of you you've seen dead men before case
00:23:09you're under arrest Tom you got out of your head
00:23:13case was only trying to I'd like it if you'd come peaceful God don't worry you
00:23:20wait for me in Jim's place case I wonder how far we'll have to go to get away
00:23:25from things like this go all right Tom what's a big idea I was close out there
00:23:40you could have been killed you're no good to me dead what do you mean with
00:23:43that I'm gonna need you but I want you in a cell where I can make sure you
00:23:46won't get a bullet in the back the council ordered me out of town Tom I'd
00:23:49be glad to take Dillon get out of here yeah and you'd have every right but
00:23:53listen to me in just a couple of hours Cantrell's gonna start wondering why
00:23:56the stage didn't come through oh he won't come here at night looking for the
00:24:00money he'll wait till morning and then he'll hit us when he does I'd like you
00:24:05to be there to back me up look Tom the people here in this town think you've
00:24:09arrested me and they're happy about it no complaints were made and they'll
00:24:12sign in with Avery I don't see that I owe anybody anything in Rock Valley case
00:24:20maybe it'd make a little difference if I said I was thinking over what you said
00:24:25about your brother started you to thinking nothing definite just something
00:24:29about Avery when I told him we know about Cantrell oh your brother was
00:24:34killed working on that big silver robbery isn't that right yeah the ship
00:24:37but that was headed for the Denver match that's the one now you want something
00:24:42else to think about what's that right after that robbery Avery became a big
00:24:47man in Rock Valley I'll see what I can find out how will you stay put
00:25:00thanks you know I reckon this is about the first time I ever asked a man to
00:25:06lock himself up case you're getting a raw deal what right is that marshal got
00:25:16to keep you locked up here it could mean your life when Cantrell rides in
00:25:19look Della I spent five years for the chance to hang my brother's killing on
00:25:25Avery board bongs I'm sorry it had to happen now but I can't run out you mean
00:25:32you'd hate yourself the rest of your life if you don't kill Avery is that it
00:25:35that might be true Dale what would happen to us if I did feel that way you
00:25:42said you forget guns you promised me that you've made your reputation with a
00:25:49fast gun case but there were fast guns before you and they'll be fast guns
00:25:56after you it's just someday a faster one will live and you hope that might be
00:26:09link rock Dale I want to make you happy but I'm not sure which is the best way
00:26:18to make you happy case we got something on Avery it was in the money box a
00:26:26letter from the Cattlemen's Association branch manager in Casper what kind of
00:26:30letter oh nothing special but it did say one thing Avery joined the Cattlemen's
00:26:34Association four months ago we didn't know about it here case that's the truth
00:26:39is that all it says that's all but it could have been Avery who tipped off
00:26:44Cantrell that we do know well it's enough to go on and enough to make up
00:26:51your mind isn't it case you'll stay in Rock Valley until Avery or link Roy or
00:26:59you are dead I'm not too sure what we're gonna do about mr. Avery there's not
00:27:13much we can do in the time we've got Tom but you watch every link watch every
00:27:19move they make tomorrow morning you know something if I'm still alive after all
00:27:28this is over I'm gonna see to it that they take that noose down out of that
00:27:32tree
00:27:35and nothing not a sign of anything
00:28:05420 that stage was coming and it'd be here by now Cantrell you sure you got
00:28:15the dope right from Avery right as rain Gorse Avery didn't tell me wrong and I
00:28:20didn't listen wrong something happened back in the town
00:28:27might be good if we knew exactly what when I was thinking you and Gorse go and
00:28:34find out they're back before morning
00:28:43so far I got four volunteers more you men don't come through campers gonna
00:28:48ride in here in the morning and take the time before you even out of bed
00:29:04I had 15 or 20 good men like
00:29:15you
00:29:28blast for the marshal no thanks where'd your boys come from
00:29:33well down Laramie way we hold up last night at goose egg Eli slaughters
00:29:38trading post that's right roundups over down our way we thought we'd head north
00:29:43of the summer grass country good idea just keep heading tonight tonight
00:29:49kind of unhospitable ain't you tonight we're worse than that we're poisoned to
00:29:54strangers getting ready for Cantrell's gang oh you don't say you sure get
00:30:01around don't they I mean bunch maybe you need some more help I got all the help I
00:30:07can use now you just take it real easy when you're right out of town because
00:30:12there's itchy trigger fingers behind most every door and window well thanks
00:30:19for the warning we just mosey along now never mind drinks around the house
00:30:25hospitality some hospitality
00:30:35what was the idea that stuff about men behind every window you're telling us
00:30:39you only had four deputies you want me to tell that to Cantrell you think
00:30:44they're part of the gang it's a guess they could be casing the town for
00:30:48Cantrell you you you know them no they didn't come from goose egg Eli slaughter
00:30:55hasn't had that trade in post for two years they came from a hillside camp
00:31:00close by they smelled a pinewood smoke and bacon grease well then why didn't
00:31:04you throw him in jail because I want him to get back to Cantrell maybe he
00:31:09knows how strong we are you'll think twice about coming in at all yeah we
00:31:14can't count on that we got to be ready
00:31:20well how about it all right Marshall I'm with you
00:31:24thanks that makes five anybody else how about you Anders that new Winchester
00:31:31repeating rifle come in handy well I'd be glad to pitch in with you
00:31:35Marshall but my cabins on a road right outside of town I got a wife and two
00:31:39kids look after bring him into town we're putting the women and children in
00:31:44church well that's different I guess I better be getting out home now anybody
00:31:50else
00:31:53mr. Avery has some extra guns out at the house I could ride out and bring him in
00:31:57it's a good idea link extra guns will help a lot and how there won't be much
00:32:02time for reloading once Campbell gets here see you later
00:32:17well mr. Avery I haven't finished giving the posse instructions I just want to
00:32:24get a little air I don't need any more instructions
00:32:26huh Cantrell's got sharp gun hands I don't want you getting killed if it can
00:32:29be helped we've got the plan adequate cover
00:32:54well I reckon all the rest of you not in the posse better join the women and
00:32:57kids in the church start praying that Cantrell doesn't look for you
00:33:17pick up any new men for the posse well I got six but they don't know much about
00:33:21guns you know I think a couple of Cantrell's men looked us over tonight
00:33:29yeah I figured Cantrell hit the town once the stage didn't show up I gave him
00:33:34a story about how strong we are he seemed to swallow Cantrell doesn't fool
00:33:39easy Tom and I know you know link gave me an excuse to leave town right after
00:33:48the strangers left you let him go my deputy's following if there is a tie-up
00:33:55between Avery and Cantrell this might be a pretty good way of finding out yeah
00:34:00maybe Avery's trying to get word to Cantrell yes and if it looks like that's
00:34:05what's happening my deputy's got orders to kill him
00:34:08we have to shoot him in the back
00:34:38Oh
00:35:00let's see who is first
00:35:08Oh
00:35:14what it's link Roy Avery wanted me to tell you there ain't enough men in Rock
00:35:22Valley to stop Cantrell from coming in monster was lying no fooling you can't
00:35:27trust nobody these days tell Cantrell the money's in the bank safe you can
00:35:31open that with a rusty pocket knife nothing like first-hand information okay
00:35:35see you tomorrow
00:35:49well Tom Evans thinks he can play games with old Jack Cantrell the main thing is
00:35:56the whole town's been tipped off case Britain it had to be I told you we don't
00:36:02know we didn't see him it had to be him nobody else know
00:36:09Mike man
00:36:22you is the one wasn't you that had the bright idea bringing case Britain to see
00:36:28me yeah I thought it would be a very good idea for you and besides you're the
00:36:34one that talked to him hmm well I reckon we both made a mistake of course I got a
00:36:44right to be mistook you ain't getting too old for fun and he knows too much to
00:36:55turn loose well what else did Avery tell you the money was put in the bank
00:37:01well that won't stop us now anything else yeah the east entrance the town's
00:37:06got buildings on both sides of the road makes a good ambush Tom Owens knows we'd
00:37:11figure that for an ambush so we'll put the most men at the west entrance and we
00:37:16hit the east anyway you got it all right bed down saddles at the crack of dawn
00:37:23wouldn't you care to get some sleep miss Haynes it'd be like trying to sleep
00:37:43knowing they're going to hang you in the morning perhaps prayer would make
00:37:46you feel better I've never been the praying kind father is there a special
00:37:51kind sure not everybody deserves religion the sin is best judged by the
00:37:59Lord not us I was going to marry a man today that thinks he has a right to be
00:38:05the judge and executioner yes in times of war men fight and kill for what they
00:38:12believe in and in these times the West is very much like a battleground with a
00:38:17constant war between good and evil I believe case Britain is on the side of
00:38:23good he's not a wanton killer he's always lived by the gun I'm not so sure
00:38:29he can live any other way he grew up in this town I've known him since he was a
00:38:33child would it help you to know that I'd have been happy to have married him in
00:38:39my church
00:38:51I'm getting short I better check with the posse wait a minute
00:38:56like Roy's coming down the street he brought the guns like he said he would
00:39:05don't give a long enough yeah you better get in the cell I don't want him
00:39:10starting anything am I supposed to get out of here just as soon as I can
00:39:17convince that idiot counsel if they're gonna need you to stay alive well I can
00:39:28find it a view of these four that should be back sooner what's your rush
00:39:36marshal you said you didn't expect Cantrell to his morning you worried they
00:39:41won't work nothing like checking I'll easily need special caliber lead maybe
00:39:47he folds he's got some of this
00:40:05you found your deputy Tom he's dead plenty dead two bullets in him I'll
00:40:12urge you find him what side of town I'm Gannett Hill overlooking the road that
00:40:17ought to be about halfway between here and where Cantrell could be camped where
00:40:21it can't throw centuries must have spotted him what was your man doing way
00:40:24out there Marshall he was trailing you link me so you wouldn't get hurt on the
00:40:32way out to Avery's that's real nice you Marshall too bad

00:41:33right
00:41:40all right boys better get set
00:42:00you really expect cattle to ride into an ambush like this it's a guessing game
00:42:05between him and me now I'm hoping he'll figure I got my men at the other end of
00:42:09town what if he doesn't guess that way I'm putting you and link there just for
00:42:13that reason I'll expect you to warn me

00:43:25telling you now I will not let case Britain be double-crossed
00:43:42okay Stella you shouldn't be out the open Cantrell could be here any minute
00:43:47the marshal was arguing the councilman they don't want to let you out of jail
00:43:51Tom will let them hold me no matter what they say Jim Ferguson told me you were
00:43:56the one that warned the town he said you got your information directly from
00:44:01Cantrell that's right Cantrell will want to kill you for that
00:44:06look I told you Tom wouldn't let that happen to me now please please go on

00:45:01let's just say that marshal so much down here to get us out of the way won't make
00:45:05any difference just don't let anyone in this town connect us with Cantrell we
00:45:08have to stay in the clear
00:45:43Oh

00:49:05that's right I'd almost forgot where you go I'm gonna turn case Britain loose

00:49:25law left in this town now and that's every man for himself we're still the
00:49:29council that's right case Britain's the only one who can save us it'll be a
00:49:34gunman against a gunman all these years you've been wanting to hang him now with
