Montana Belle (1952) - full transcript
In a fictionalized biography, Oklahoma outlaw Belle Starr meets the Dalton gang when rescued from lynching by Bob Dalton, who falls for her. So do gang member Mac and wealthy saloon owner Tom Bradfield, who's enlisted in a bankers' scheme to trap the Daltons. Dissension among the gang and Bradfield's ambivalence complicate the plot, as Belle demonstrates her prowess with shootin' irons, horses, and as a surprisingly racy saloon entertainer.
LOOKS LIKE
THE DALTONS GOT COMPANY.
WOMAN.
AH, THOSE
INJUN EYES OF YOURS.
IT IS WOMAN.
SQUAW. ONLY TROUBLE
COME WITH SQUAW.
I'VE HAD SOME TIMES
WITH 'EM I WOULDN'T
EXACTLY CALL TROUBLE.
WHAT YOU SUPPOSE
THEY WANT TO BRING
A WOMAN HERE FOR?
COULD BE SEVERAL ANSWERS
TO THAT QUESTION.
BOYS, THIS IS
BELLE STARR.
MY BROTHERS EMMETT, BEN.
THIS IS MAC.
HOWDY.
AND RINGO.
HE OWNS THE PLACE.
- YOU DON'T MIND
ONE MORE, DO YOU, RINGO?
- HE DON'T MIND.
WHAT'S HER PLAY, BOB?
LAW HAD HER, EMMETT.
MOB IN RAWHIDE
WAS GONNA LYNCH HER.
MAC, YOU AND RINGO
GIVE ME A HAND
WITH THESE CUFFS, WILL YOU?
COME DOWN HERE, BELLE.
AIN'T WE GOT
OUR HANDS FULL ENOUGH
WITHOUT SAM STARR'S WIFE?
SHE AIN'T HIS WIFE
ANY LONGER.
SHE'S HIS WIDOW.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO SAM?
- THEY KILLED HIM THIS MORNING.
GUNFIGHT UP AT HIS PLACE.
I TOLD BOB IT WASN'T
HIS BUSINESS,
BUT YOU KNOW BOB.
HE'D HAVE TRIED IT ALONE.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A CHANCE.
WHAT ELSE COULD I DO
BUT PUT IN WITH HIM?
NOTHIN'.
THAT DOES IT.
THANKS.
COME ON IN THE CABIN.
I'LL GET YA SOMETHIN'
FOR THOSE WRISTS.
BOB.
ARE YOU A DALTON TOO?
[ Scoffs ]
NO, MA'AM.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO WITH HER?
HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT YET.
LET HER STAY HERE
FOR A WHILE, I GUESS.
DID YA KILL ANY OF THE POSSE?
JUST NICKED 'EM. THAT'S ALL.
DID THEY KNOW
YOU'RE A DALTON?
ONE OF 'EM DID. GRAT DOWNED HIM.
WHY DIDN'T YA
STOP TO THINK?
THEY NEVER STOP
TO THINK OF NOTHIN'.
YOU KNOW THEY'RE GONNA TURN
THE OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
UPSIDE DOWN?
JUST AS WE LAY LOW
TO LET THINGS DIE DOWN,
YOU PULL SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
NOW, LOOK. GRAT CAN TELL YA.
THEY WERE GONNA STRING HER UP.
IT WAS STILL NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
I MADE IT MY BUSINESS.
I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF ANYBODY
SWINGIN' FROM THE END OF A ROPE.
YEAH. 'SPECIALLY WHEN
IT'S A PRETTY GIRL.
YEAH. 'SPECIALLY WHEN
IT'S A PRETTY GIRL.
[ Knocking ]
COME IN.
- HELLO, TOM.
- WELL, MATT TOWNER.
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO GUTHRIE?
YOU.
ME? SIT DOWN.
WHAT COULD THE BANKERS'
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
WANT WITH ME?
WE CARRY THE INSURANCE POLICIES
ON MOST OF THE BANKS IN KANSAS,
ARKANSAS AND THE TERRITORIES.
OH.
EVERY TIME A BANK IS ROBBED,
IT COSTS US MONEY.
A LOT OF 'EM
ARE BEING ROBBED.
IT'S COSTING US A HALF A
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
WE DON'T LIKE THAT.
HALF A MILLION. WON'T TAKE
MANY YEARS OF THAT TO PUT
YOU OUT OF BUSINESS.
WE'LL BE OUT OF BUSINESS
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, UNLESS
THE DALTONS ARE CAUGHT.
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
YOU'RE A DECENT CITIZEN,
TOM. YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO SEE
THE DALTONS CAUGHT?
SURE, BUT THAT'S YOUR JOB
OR THE U.S. MARSHAL'S.
WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN,
BUT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
BUT YOU, NOW--
EVERYBODY IN THE TERRITORIES
KNOWS YOU. YOU HAVE FRIENDS.
YOU HEAR THINGS--
THINGS A LAWMAN
DOESN'T HEAR.
IF ANYBODY CAN GET
THESE MEN, YOU CAN.
WE'RE WILLING TO
MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
WHAT KIND OF A DEAL?
$25,000 FOR THE DALTONS.
[ Chuckles ]
COME HERE, MATT.
I WANT TO SHOW
YOU SOMETHING.
I'VE GOT 25,000.
THAT'S QUITE A PILE.
I ALWAYS KEEP
ABOUT 50,000 ON HAND
IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES.
IT'S A WONDER THE DALTONS
HAVEN'T VISITED YOU.
I DON'T NOISE IT AROUND
HOW WELL I'M DOING HERE.
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO.
MAYBE GETTING THE DALTONS
WOULDN'T BE AS BIG
A JOB AS YOU THINK.
HOW HIGH WILL YOU GO?
ALL RIGHT, TOM.
I WON'T BARGAIN WITH YOU.
I TOLD 'EM
YOU'D BE EXPENSIVE.
I'M AUTHORIZED
TO OFFER YOU $100,000.
10,000 NOW--
[ Clears Throat ]
YEAH.
IT'S A DEAL.
I CAN'T STAND
MUCH MORE OF THIS.
[ Horse Approaching ]
THAT HORSE... BAREFOOT.
MAYBE INDIAN. I GO SEE.

[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
I'M GOING TO BED.

I'M GONNA GET
A PAIL OF WATER, BOB.
THE WATER CAN WAIT.
I CAN'T.
I'M GONNA GET IT NOW.
BOB, STOP IT.
[ Chuckles ]
CUT IT OUT,
BOTH OF YA.
AIN'T YOU EVER
GONNA GET TIRED
OF BEING A WIDOW?
[ Scoffs ]
IF I DO, I'LL LET
THE LADDER DOWN.
[ Door Slams ]
[ Chuckles ]
I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE HER ALONE.
THAT'S FUNNY.
I CAN'T HEAR
NOTHIN' YOU TELL ME.
[ Blows Landing, Grunting ]
[ Whinnies ]
[ Whinnying Continues ]
WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?
GET OVER THERE!
ONLY TROUBLE
COME WITH SQUAW.
YOU HOTHEADED FOOL.
YOU WOULD BRING
THAT WOMAN HERE.
[ Shouts ]
HEY, PETE!
[ Grunts ]
[ Laughs ]
OH! AIN'T THERE
ANY PEACE IN THE WORLD?
HELLO, EMMETT.
HOW ARE YA, PETE? HOW'S
THE TRADIN' BUSINESS?
I'M JUST
SCRATCHIN' THE SURFACE.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A BATH?
WHAT'S THE USE?
A MAN JUST GETS
DIRTY ALL OVER AGAIN.
[ Coughs ]
I SEE RUNNIN' ELK
GOT TO YA.
YEAH, LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DO YA WANT
TO POWWOW ABOUT, PETE?
I JUST FIGURED THAT WITH
EVERY BANK IN THE TERRITORY
CRAWLIN' WITH GUARDS THAT...
MAYBE YOU BOYS WERE
LOOKIN' FOR SOMETHIN'
EASY FOR A CHANGE.
LIKE WHAT, FOR INSTANCE?
THERE'S A PLACE IN GUTHRIE
JUST BUSTIN' WITH DOUBLE EAGLES.
WHAT PLACE?
[ Spits ]
NOT SO FAST, EMMETT.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
IF IT WORKS OUT ALL RIGHT,
YOU GET $1,000 LIKE
YOU ALWAYS DO.
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
WHAT PLACE IN GUTHRIE?
THE BIRD CAGE.
TOM BRADFIELD'S DOIN'
SO MUCH BUSINESS, HE AIN'T
GOT ROOM FOR HIS MONEY.
DON'T TRUST A BANK--
AFRAID THEM DALTON BROTHERS
WILL STICK IT UP.
[ Chuckles ]
KEEPS IT IN A SAFE
IN HIS BACK ROOM.
HOW MUCH MONEY?
THERE OUGHTA BE A LOT OF IT.
I'LL SAY THAT IF YOU GOT THERE
SATURDAY NIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT,
IT SHOULD BE GOOD
FOR $50,000 OR BETTER.
IT'S JUST LIKE
SHOOTIN' FISH IN A BARREL.
HERE. I'LL SHOW YOU.
SOUNDS GOOD.
NOW, HERE'S THE BIRD CAGE.
THERE'S THREE STEPS
UP TO THE FRONT PORCH,
THEN THERE'S SWINGIN' DOORS,
GREAT BIG ONES.
BAR'S OVER AGAINST THIS WALL,
GAMBLIN' ROOM HERE,
AND THE OFFICE
WITH THE SAFE IN IT'S HERE.
SAFE?
HOW DO WE GET IT OPEN?
I THINK WE CAN INDUCE
TOM BRADFIELD
TO OPEN IT FOR US.
THAT'S ROUGH,
BUT IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA.
I'LL DRAW IT OUT ON PAPER LATER.
WE CAN GO OVER IT AGAIN.
PETE SAYS IF WE HIT THIS PLACE
SATURDAY NIGHT ABOUT MIDNIGHT,
IT OUGHTA BE PRETTY BIG.
MAYBE 50,000.
SATURDAY NIGHT?
IT'S APT TO BE
CROWDED, AIN'T IT?
SO MUCH THE BETTER.
DO WE USE MAC
AND RINGO ON THIS?
WE CAN HANDLE THIS OURSELVES.
THEN WE'RE GOING UP
TO YELLOW DEER'S PLACE,
UP NEAR THE PAWNEE NATION.
IT'LL BE A LITTLE
QUIETER THERE.
WHAT'S THIS, THE NEW HIDEOUT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
PETE BIVINS IS
GONNA FIX IT FOR US.
YOU MEAN,
WE'RE LEAVING HERE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY?
IT'S BEEN DECIDED.
FIRST I HEARD ABOUT IT.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY NOTHIN'
TILL WE WERE SURE.
NOW THAT WE GOT A JOB--
YOU TALKED ABOUT IT
BEFORE YOU WERE SURE.
HOW COME I WASN'T INCLUDED?
YOU HAD SOMETHIN' ELSE
ON YOUR MIND, REMEMBER?
[ Huffs ]
YOU'RE CUTTING OFF YOUR NOSE
TO SPITE YOUR FACE.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE
BELLE HERE, TELL
RINGO AND MAC.
IT WON'T BE SAFE IF WE KICK
HER OUT. COULD TIP OFF THE LAW,
MAKE A DEAL FOR HERSELF.
IT'S ALL SETTLED, BOB.
WE'RE MOVIN' UP NEAR
THE PAWNEE NATION.
WE'RE MOVIN' TOMORROW SO WE CAN
BE THERE BY SUNDOWN. WE'D LIKE
TO HAVE YOU GO WITH US,
BUT THAT'S UP TO YOU.
YOU MOVE SOMEPLACE,
AND I MOVE WITH YA.
YOU'D BETTER FORGET ABOUT ME.
YOU'LL ONLY GET IN MORE TROUBLE
WITH YOUR BROTHERS.
STOP THINKIN'
ABOUT MY BROTHERS.
THINK ABOUT ME.
WHY SHOULD I? YOU FIGURE I
OUGHTA BE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR
GETTIN' ME AWAY FROM THE LAW.
WELL, I DIDN'T
ASK YOU TO DO IT.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO BE GRATEFUL, BELLE.
I'M ASKING YOU TO LOVE ME.
NO, THANKS.
I WAS MARRIED
TO ONE OUTLAW.
THE LAST PAYOFF'S
ALWAYS THE SAME.
BOOT HILL.
- OH, HELLO, PETE.
- HELLO, MR. BRADFIELD.
HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?
I SAW EMMETT DALTON.
AND?
THEY'RE COMIN'.
WHEN?
I RECOLLECT YOU AND I
MADE A DEAL ABOUT THAT.
I'VE ALREADY PAID YOU $250.
WELL, THAT WAS FOR TRYIN',
BUT THIS TIME IS
SURE AS SHOOTIN'.
HOW MUCH ARE THE DALTONS
PAYING YOU?
WELL, NOW. FIFTEEN HUNDRED?
I'LL DOUBLE IT,
IF IT COMES OFF.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR.
TOM BRADFIELD'S WORD'S
JUST AS GOOD AS HIS BOND.
[ Knocks ]
WHEN ARE THEY COMING?
I SUGGESTED SATURDAY NIGHT.
I RECOLLECT THEY'LL PROBABLY
COME "TRICOLATIN'" IN HERE
AROUND MIDNIGHT.
GOOD. HERE.
BREAK THE SEAL
FOR A CHANGE.
WELL. NOW, AIN'T
THAT HANDSOME?
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY.
GOT ABOUT A WEEK MORE HERE.
THAT'S ALL.
JUST ONE THING: DON'T LET ON
TO MY BROTHERS THAT I MENTIONED
COMING BACK HERE.
WHEN WE LEAVE, ACT LIKE IT'S
PERMANENT. YOU CAN DO THAT?
SURE.
ONLY THING IS, I DON'T
LIKE LEAVING YOU HERE
WITH MAC AND RINGO.
I CAN HANDLE THEM.
JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
DON'T GO GETTIN' SHOT UP.
NO BULLET'S
GONNA GET ME, BELLE.
I'LL LIVE TO BE
AN OLD MAN AND DIE IN BED
WITH YOU HOLDING MY HAND.
THAT'S RIGHT. THEY DON'T
NEED NO HELP. THEY'RE
BIG BOYS. THE DALTON GANG.
EVERY TIME ANYTHING IMPORTANT
COMES UP, THEY CAN
HANDLE IT BY THEMSELVES.
EXCEPT... PLACE.
COOL OFF. NOT WORRY.
NO CAN HANDLE.
COME TO US.
WE PAY OUR WAY, DON'T WE?
WHEN COME BACK,
PAY MORE. LOT MORE.
WHERE IS ALL
THIS JAWING GETTIN' US?
LET'S GET MOVIN'.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gunshots ]
I NEVER DID COTTON MUCH
TO A RIFLE ANYHOW.
I'M A SIX-SHOOTER MAN
MYSELF.
THAT'S MIGHTY PRETTY
SHOOTIN', BELLE.
NO WANT HER SHOOT AT ME.
[ Chuckles ]
WATCH THIS.
HMM. GOOD THING YOU GOT US MEN
AROUND IN CASE THERE'S
ANY SHOOTIN' TO GET DONE.
COMBS, WE COULD RIDE THESE HILLS
FOR A YEAR AND STILL NEVER FIND
BELLE STARR AND THE DALTONS.
I'LL FIND 'EM IF
IT TAKES FIVE YEARS.
ALL RIGHT. HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY.
- [ Horse Galloping ]
- HEY.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
AH, LOOKS LIKE AN INDIAN.
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
YOU SAVVY HIS LINGO?
YEAH, CHEROKEE. SAYS THERE'S
A WHITE WOMAN BEYOND THE CREEK.
IS HE SURE
IT'S A WHITE WOMAN?
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
BELLE STARR.
SAYS SHE'S YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL.
THINKS IT'S BELLE STARR.
MAYBE WE BETTER TAKE A LOOK-SEE.
YOU BET WE'LL TAKE A LOOK-SEE.
TELL HIM TO LEAD THE WAY.
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
MAC! RINGO!
THERE'S A DOZEN MEN
COMIN' UP THE HILL.
SADDLE UP, RINGO.
I'LL HOLD 'EM OFF.
BACK TO YOUR HORSES, MEN!
[ Whinnies ]
THERE'S A FORK AHEAD.
YOU TAKE THE HILL TRAIL.
I'LL TAKE THE OTHER ONE.
MEET US AT JIM CLARK'S
PLACE, ABSAROKA.
JIM CLARK. ABSAROKA.
I HATE TO BELIEVE THAT
ABOUT THEM. IT COULD HAVE BEEN
JUST BAD LUCK, YOU KNOW.
NOT BAD LUCK.
BAD TALK FROM DALTON.
RINGO'S PLACE WAS AS SAFE
AS YOUR MOTHER'S ARMS UNTIL
ONE DAY AFTER THEY LEAVE.
WAS IT FOUND
BY ONE MAN? OH, NO.
A DOZEN GUN-HUNGRY DEPUTIES
WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
AND JUST WHERE TO FIND IT.
I ONLY WANT TO LIVE LONG
ENOUGH TO MEET THE DALTONS
ONE MORE TIME.
WE'LL TALK IT OVER
IN THE SMOKE.
IF I KNEW WHAT THIS JOB
OF THEIRS IS, I'D SAY,
"LET'S BEAT 'EM TO IT."
I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
SO BOB DID TELL YOU, HUH?
HE TOLD ME.
BELLE, ARE YOU CERTAIN
IN YOUR OWN MIND THE DALTONS
TIPPED OFF RINGO'S PLACE?
IT HAD TO BE.
WHEN THEY PULLED OUT,
THEY WERE MAD. THEY DIDN'T
HAVE ANY LOVE FOR MAC OR RINGO,
AND 'SPECIALLY ME.
THAT SETTLES IT AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED.
LET'S HAVE IT, BELLE.
IT'S THE BIRD CAGE IN GUTHRIE--
A GAMBLING HOUSE.
I KNOW THE PLACE.
TOM BRADFIELD RUNS IT.
THEY'RE TAKING IT
AT MIDNIGHT, SATURDAY.
[ Chuckles ]
THAT'S JUST HALF AN HOUR
AFTER WE TAKE IT.
WAIT! RINGO NOT LIKE.
RINGO NOT LIKE WHAT?
WORKING WITH WOMAN?
MAYBE RINGO WRONG.
YOU LOOK LIKE SQUAW.
RIDE, SHOOT LIKE MAN.
[ Chuckles ]
JIM, DIG US UP
SOME BLUE BANDANAS--
MAKE 'EM THINK
WE'RE THE DALTONS.
YOU'D BETTER FIND
SOME MEN'S CLOTHES
FOR ME, THEN.
BALDY, YOU TAKE YOUR MEN
AND COVER THE NORTH END OF TOWN.
FRANK, YOU TAKE THE SOUTH END.
BALDY, I GOT
TEN DOLLARS SAYS
I GET THE FIRST DALTON.
MAKE IT 20,
AND IT'S A BET.
GOOD LUCK, BOYS!
I HOPE TOM BRADFIELD'S GOT
THE RIGHT DOPE ON THE DALTONS
COMING IN AROUND MIDNIGHT.

[ Gunshot ]
[ Gunshots ]

IF IT WEREN'T FOR
YOUR GOLDARN HOUSE RULES,
I'D HAVE HAD MA GUN!
[ Gunshot ]
GIVE ME A HAND HERE, SOMEBODY.
ED DAVIS BEEN HURT BAD.
WHAT ABOUT THE DALTONS?
YOU KNOW WHAT CHANCE WE HAVE
CATCHING THEM NOW.
LET'S GET HIM
OVER TO DOC KENNY'S.
THERE IT IS.
2,100.
2,100?
IT'S ALL WE GOT.
YOU SAID 50,000.
IN THE SAFE, YES.
WE'D HAVE GOT IT IF
THE DALTONS HADN'T-A SHOWED UP.
LET'S SPLIT IT,
AND YOU BE ON YOUR WAY.
KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON.
WE'LL GET GOIN' AS SOON AS
WE FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO.
MY PLACE NO GOOD
FOR HIDEOUT NOW.
I'M NOT GONNA HIDE OUT.
THE LAW'S NOT GONNA MAKE ME RUN
FROM HOLE TO HOLE LIKE A RAT,
AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA TRY ME
FOR ANY KILLIN' I DIDN'T DO.
PRETTY BIG JOB
FOR A WOMAN FIGHTIN'
THE LAW SINGLE-HANDED.
WHY SINGLE-HANDED?
WHY CAN'T WE
GO INTO BUSINESS
FOR OURSELVES?
[ Scoffs ]
WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS?
[ Sniffs ]
WE GOT ANY CHOICE?
[ Chuckles ]
BELLE STARR GANG.
[ Laughs ]
THAT OUGHTA RILE UP
THE BIG BOYS-- THE DALTON GANG.
[ Pete ]
WHOA! WELL, NOW, WHOA!
[ Spits ]
HEY, YOU DALTONS!
IT'S THAT DOUBLE-CROSSING
FATHEAD, PETE BIVINS.
I'LL HANDLE HIM.
WELL, NOW, IF YOU BOYS
AIN'T THE ONE. THAT'S AS SLICK
A TRICK AS I EVER DID SEE.
THAT'S THE WAY EXPERTS
DO A JOB OF WORK.
YEAH, EXPERTS.
HOW MUCH DID YOU GET?
THAT AIN'T FUNNY, PETE.
WELL, NOW, I AIN'T AIMIN'
TO BE FUNNY.
OR I AIN'T AIMIN' TO BE TALKED
OUT OF MY SHARE NEITHER.
HOW MUCH DID YA GET?
GOT SHOT OUT OF TOWN.
THAT'S WHAT WE GOT.
WELL, NOW,
THERE WAS SOME SHOOTIN'.
THAT WAS AFTER YOU TOOK THE BAR
AND THE GAMBLIN' TABLES.
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW IT,
I WAS IN THE PLACE.
I WAS STANDIN' AT THE BAR WHEN
YOU FELLAS COME RAMMIN' IN THERE
AND SCOOPED UP THE MONEY.
[ Giggles ]
THAT WAS AS SLICK A TRICK
AS I EVER DID SEE.
WHAT I'M AIMIN'
TO FIND OUT IS...
HOW MUCH DID YA GET?
ENOUGH SO YOU
GET A LITTLE. HERE.
WELL, NOW. THANKS.
WELL, NOW. THAT AIN'T
NO KING'S "HANDSOME,"
BUT AS MY PA ALWAYS SAID,
"SOMETHIN' IS BETTER
THAN NOTHIN'."
WELL, NOW, I GOTTA
BE GETTIN' BACK.
YAH!
WELL, NOW. GIDDAP!
WHAT DID YA GIVE HIM
THAT MONEY FOR?
KEEPS HIM ON OUR SIDE.
YOU TOLD BELLE WE WERE
TAKIN' THE BIRD CAGE.
I DROPPED A WORD OR TWO.
I NEVER THOUGHT--
YOU NEVER THINK!
SHE BEAT US THERE.
WE KEEP HER FROM GETTIN' STRUNG
UP. SHE DOUBLE-CROSSES US.
SHE DIDN'T DO IT.
IT WAS MAC.
SAME THING, ISN'T IT?
NO, IT AIN'T THE SAME THING!
BELLE STARR'S NO OUTLAW.
LISTEN TO THIS.
"IN THE OPINION OF MANY,
BELLE STARR AND THE DALTONS
ARE WORKING TOGETHER...
IN THE LARGEST
CRIME COMBINE ON RECORD."
BELLE STARR AND THE DALTONS
WORKING TOGETHER.
AND HERE WE SIT.
HIDIN' OUT WHILE SHE STIRS UP
A WHOLE TERRITORY AGAINST US.
WHY DON'T YOU GO
OUT AND STOP HER?
WHY DON'T YOU?
SHE'S YOUR WOMAN, AIN'T SHE?
OR IS SHE MAC'S?
MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING
I OUGHTA FIND OUT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ Man ]
MRS. WINTERS?
YES.
WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR ROOM.
THANK YOU.
RIGHT THIS WAY, PLEASE.
[ Knocking ]
COME IN.
WHERE DO YOU WANT
THIS THING, BELLE?
JUST PUT IT THERE ANY PLACE.
BOY,
IS THAT SOMETHIN'.
YOU LIKE IT?
[ Chuckles ]
THE MAN WHO WOULDN'T
IS A SHEEPHERDER.
DID YOU GET FIXED UP
FOR ROOMS ALL RIGHT?
UH-HUH.
WE WENT OUT AND HAD A LOOK
AROUND THE TOWN.
LOOK BETTER AT NIGHT.
RINGO, YOU'RE NOT
ON THE RESERVATION NOW.
WATCH HOW YOU TALK.
TRY IT AGAIN.
IT LOOK BETTER AT NIGHT.
[ Chuckles ]
SHE'LL HAVE YOU SPOUTIN'
POETRY BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
RINGO, DON'T YOU DARE
SIT ON THAT DRESS!
BELLE, AREN'T YOU TAKIN'
AN AWFUL CHANCE
IN THIS THING?
WHAT IF SOMEONE
FROM RAWHIDE
SHOULD SPOT YOU?
NONSENSE.
IN THIS WIG AND GETUP, DO I LOOK
LIKE BELLE STARR FROM RAWHIDE?
NO. I GUESS YOU'RE SAFE
ENOUGH AT THAT. NEW FEATHERS
SURE DO CHANGE A WOMAN.
WHY WE-- WHY HAVE WE
GOT TO WEAR MONKEY SUIT?
YOU BUTTON THAT COLLAR
AND TIE THAT TIE.
YOU HAVE TO WEAR THESE SO WE CAN
GO INTO THE BIRD CAGE WITHOUT
ANYONE GETTING SUSPICIOUS.
YOU TWO GET OUT OF HERE,
BECAUSE I'M GONNA GET
INTO SOMETHING...
THAT'LL MAKE TOM BRADFIELD
SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE.
[ Chuckles ]
COME ON.
I DON'T LIKE THESE
MONKEY SUITS EITHER, RINGO.
YOU BELIVE BELLE STARR'S
WORKING WITH THE DALTONS?
PROBABLY WORKING
AGAINST THEM.
DALTONS ARE TOO SMART
TO TIE UP WITH A WOMAN.
[ Wolf Whistles ]
HOW DO YOU DO, MA'AM?
HOW DO YOU DO? YOU MUST
BE MR. TOM BRADFIELD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
MY NAME IS LUCY WINTERS.
MY PLEASURE, MISS WINTERS.
MRS.
OH.
WE'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU IN MONTANA.
MONTANA?
YES, I COME FROM THERE.
MY HUSBAND AND I HAD
A SMALL PLACE IN BUTTE.
I TRIED TO RUN IT MYSELF AFTER
RICHARD DIED, BUT IT WAS JUST
TOO MUCH FOR A WOMAN.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO I SOLD THE BUSINESS
AND CAME OUT HERE.
MY, YOU REALLY
HAVE A NICE PLACE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOOK AROUND?
YES, I'D LOVE TO.
GOOD.
DO YOU PERMIT WOMEN
TO GAMBLE HERE,
MR. BRADFIELD?
ANYBODY WITH A DOLLAR
CAN GAMBLE HERE,
MRS. WINTERS.
WELL, I HAVE A DOLLAR.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE GAME?
BLACKJACK.
IF YOU'D LIKE,
I'LL TAKE YOUR DOLLAR.
ALL RIGHT.
GET ME A FRESH DECK, JOE.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'LL IT BE, GENTS?
RYE.
LET'S START WITH 50.
THERE YA ARE,
MRS. WINTERS.
FIFTY DOLLARS' WORTH.
YOU MUST FEEL LUCKY.
I DO.
HOW... DOES IT STAND NOW?
BRADFIELD JUST BROKE 21
3 TIMES STRAIGHT
FOR 500 A THROW.
SHE'S LETTIN' IT RIDE.
LUCK LIKE THAT
NOT HOLD.
ALL RIGHT, PAIN-IN-THE-FACE.
WAIT TILL IT BREAKS BEFORE YOU
START THE DEATH CHANT, WILL YA?
I'LL STAND.
WELL, I NEED HELP.
THAT SETTLES THAT.
MY COMPLIMENTS, MRS. WINTERS.
YOU'VE WON $25,000 IN LITTLE
LESS THAN AN HOUR.
I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR ONE AFTERNOON.
DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE,
GENTLEMEN. GO AHEAD
AND COLLECT 'EM.
MIND IF
I CALL YOU MONTANA?
AFTER ALL, MRS. WINTERS
SOUNDS RATHER FORMAL.
CALLING A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
BY A NAME THAT PARTICULARLY
SUITS HER...
ISN'T VERY MUCH TO ASK
FOR 25,000, IS IT?
NO, IT ISN'T.
PLEASE DO
CALL ME MONTANA.
THERE WAS A LOT OF LUCK
CONNECTED WITH WINNING
THAT 25,000.
YES, AND THERE WAS
A LOT OF KNOWING WHEN
NOT TO CROWD YOUR HAND.
MAYBE YOU'D BETTER
HIRE ME TO DEAL BLACKJACK
FOR YOU.
I HAVE A BETTER PROPOSITION
THAN THAT. HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE TO BE A PARTNER?
HALF INTEREST
FOR YOUR 25,000.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I AM.
YOU CAN BE
A LOT OF USE TO ME.
WELL, THAT'S LIFE FOR YOU.
I CAME IN HERE TO ASK YOU
FOR A JOB.
I USED TO SING IN OUR PLACE.
BUY A HALF INTEREST
AND HIRE YOURSELF
AS A SINGER.
IT'S A DEAL.
GOOD. THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL
ANNOUNCE IT RIGHT NOW.
GENTLEMEN,
YOUR ATTENTION A MOMENT.
I'D LIKE TO PRESENT
MY NEW PARTNER AND HALF OWNER
OF THE BIRD CAGE,
LUCY WINTERS OF MONTANA.
NOW, MONTANA OF THE BIRD CAGE.
GOOD FOR YOU, TOM.
GOOD LUCK, MONTANA!
HOW 'BOUT ANOTHER ON THE HOUSE?
OH, GENTLEMEN, THIS TIME
THE DRINKS ARE ON ME.
OH!
THAT'S A PLEASURE.
MAY I TAKE YOU TO THE HOTEL?
OH, NO. YOU'RE BUSY HERE.
I'LL SEE YOU ABOUT 8:00.
YOU MUST BE PLUMB LOCO TO TAKE
HALF INTEREST IN THAT DUMP
'STEAD OF THE 25,000.
KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON, MAC.
THE 25,000 IS
STILL IN THE SAFE.
THERE'S PLENTY MORE WITH IT.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA STAY
RIGHT THERE.
I DON'T SAVVY.
WHAT DON'T YOU SAVVY, RINGO?
WHAT WE GET
OUT OF HALF INTEREST.
FOR ONE THING, WE GET
THE SWEETEST LITTLE HIDEOUT
ON RECORD.
[ Mac ]
HIDEOUT?
THAT'S WHAT I SAID. HIDEOUT.
WHO'S GONNA FIGURE THAT
TOM BRADFIELD'S BLOND PARTNER
AND THE TWO NEW MEN...
ARE THE BELLE STARR GANG?
WHAT NEW MEN?
YOU AND MAC, OF COURSE.
YOU ARE LOCO.
SHE'S NOT, I AM.
YOU WORKED FOR ME IN MONTANA.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE WITH ME NOW.
AS HALF OWNER, I PUT YOU
TO WORK FOR ME. YOU AS A DEALER,
AND YOU AS A LOOKOUT.
FROM NOW ON,
WE OPERATE FROM THE BIRD CAGE.
MAYBE SHE NOT LOCO.

ON A STONE, I'LL DRILL YA.
I'VE SEARCHED EVERY TOWN

I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE
SO FOND OF ME, BOB.
YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG, MAC.
I'M HERE BECAUSE I TOLD YOU
TO LET BELLE STARR ALONE.
[ Chuckles ]
OH, SO THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT. NO MAN
TAKES THE WOMAN I WANT
AWAY FROM ME AND LIVES.
THEN YOU'D BETTER GO GUNNIN'
FOR THE MAN THAT
TOOK YOUR WOMAN.
[ Gun Clicks ]
I RECKON I GOT HIM.
¶ SHE HAS A MAN ON EVERY ARM ¶

[ Applause, Cheering ]
AIN'T NOBODY
LIKE THAT MONTANA.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, BOYS.
LET MONTANA HEAR THE CLICK
OF THOSE CHIPS.
WELL?
THAT WAS RIGHT NICE SINGIN'.
THANKS, STRANGER.
SUPPOSE WE SIT DOWN OVER HERE.
YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT IT.
WELL, YOU SURE LOOK
LIKE THAT GILDED LILY
YOU WERE SINGIN' ABOUT.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- SHH!
IF'N A MAN WAS TO TELL YOU
WHERE BOB DALTON WAS--
I'M BUSY NOW, PETE.
SEE ME LATER.
LATER MIGHT BE TOO LATE.
WHERE IS HE?
WELL, NOW, FOR $1,000--
500.
WELL, 500--
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
WHERE IS HE?
RIGHT OUT THERE
GABBIN' WITH MONTANY.
ARE YOU SURE?
I'M SO SURE,
I'M CERTAIN.
I'LL GO OUT THIS WAY.
ALL I WANT TO DO
IS MEET MR. BRADFIELD.
WHY, IT WOULD BE DOWNRIGHT
BAD MANNERS IF I PULLED OUT
NOW, WITHOUT SAYIN' HOWDY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
TO DO TO HIM.
THEN LET ME GET IT DONE.
WHERE IS BRADFIELD?
I'M BRADFIELD.
SO YOU'RE TOM BRADFIELD, EH?
YES.
IT'S THE RULE OF THE HOUSE
TO CHECK GUNS
WITH THE BARTENDER.
I NEVER OBEY RULES.
I'LL HAVE TO ASK YOU
TO LEAVE.
MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
THE JAIL'S
RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
I DON'T LIKE JAILS.
I'LL LEAVE. WHY DON'T
YOU SHOW ME TO THE DOOR.
THAT'LL BE MY PLEASURE.
EVER MEET A MAN YOU COULDN'T
COTTON TO? A MAN YOU'D LIKE
TO WHIP TILL HE CAN'T STAND UP?
FREQUENTLY. WHY?
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE
THAT, MR. BRADFIELD.
[ Gunshots ]
MR. BRADFIELD
ISN'T ARMED, STRANGER.
LET'S KEEP THIS FIGHT EVEN.
ALL RIGHT, MR. BRADFIELD.
YOUR LADY FRIEND
CALLED THE TURN.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE HAVING
QUITE A PARTY, TOM.
WHO IS THIS FELLA?
HE'S BOB DALTON.
BY JINGO, IT IS BOB DALTON!
THANKS, LADY, FOR EVERYTHING.
I'LL TRY AND DO THE SAME
FOR YOU SOMETIME.
LOCK HIM UP!
I'LL TAKE THAT.
THAT WAS PRETTY FANCY
SHOOTING, MONTANA. THANKS.
IT WAS NOTHING, TOM. I--
IF I HAD KNOWN
HE WAS BOB DALTON,
I'D HAVE FOLDED UP.
NOW, NOW.
THAT'S NO WAY TO BEHAVE.
YOU WANT THESE?
GIVE 'EM TO MONTANA
AS SOUVENIRS.
PUT THEM IN MY DRESSING ROOM.
YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION
TO WORK TONIGHT. LET ME
TAKE YOU TO THE HOTEL.
NO, TOM. I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST CHANGE MY CLOTHES
AND RUN ALONG. THANKS.
'KAY.
FIND MAC AND BRING HIM
TO THE HOTEL.
HE'S MUCH
TOO NICE TO KILL.
HEY! TAKE IT EASY, WILL YA?
HOLD STILL.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE.
YOU'VE GOT A JOB
TO DO TONIGHT.
WE TAKIN' THE BIRD CAGE?
NO. WE'RE GETTING
BOB DALTON OUT OF JAIL.
OH, WE ARE, ARE WE?
YES, WE ARE.
THE DALTONS OWE US A GRUDGE,
AND THE DALTONS PAY OFF.
BOB TOLD ME SO
WHEN I SHOT HIS GUNS AWAY.
I WANT HIM OUT OF JAIL
BEFORE HE TALKS.
AND AFTER HE'S OUT OF JAIL?
YOU AND RINGO CAN HAVE HIM.
HE WON'T TALK.
[ Sighs ]
HOW WE GONNA CRACK
THE JAIL?
I'LL TELL YOU THAT LATER.
RINGO, YOU GO AND GET JIM.
BRING HIM BACK HERE, AND THEN
YOU AND MAC CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
SHOWDOWN, BELLE.
IT'S TIME YOU AND ME
HAD ONE. SIT DOWN.
WHAT ABOUT?
ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
NAME A FEW.
ABOUT COMIN' BACK HERE
TO TAKE THE BIRD CAGE,
FOR ONE THING.
WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR
THREE WEEKS, AND WHAT'S
HAPPENED? NOTHIN'.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW WONDERFUL
IT WAS TO HAVE NICE CLOTHES,
CLEAN SHEETS ON THE BED,
MORE HOT WATER
THAN YOU CAN USE.
IF YOU'RE ON THE LEVEL,
WHY DON'T WE TAKE THE BIRD CAGE
NOW AND GET OUT OF HERE?
BECAUSE I'M NOT READY TO,
AND WHEN I AM,
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
I'M STILL DOING THE THINKING
FOR THIS OUTFIT.
ALL RIGHT, BUT LET'S GET
ONE THING STRAIGHT.
I SEE YOU GOIN' SOFT
ON TOM BRADFIELD,
AND I'LL BURN YOU BOTH DOWN.
WITH LEAD. AND I'LL GET HIM
FIRST, SO YOU CAN SEE
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
YOU'RE MAKING AN AWFUL FUSS
OVER ONE LITTLE KISS.
YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH
TO KNOW THAT THAT'S THE WAY
A SMART WOMAN WORKS.
NOW, GO ON. GET OUTTA HERE.
WHERE ARE
YOUR BROTHERS?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S TEN TIMES YOU'VE ASKED
ME THAT QUESTION AND TEN TIMES
I TOLD YOU I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S THE ONLY ANSWER
YOU'RE GONNA GET.
YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT MAKE
YOURSELF A GOOD DEAL IF YOU DID
TELL US WHERE THEY ARE.
I DON'T MAKE DEALS.
WHERE'S BELLE STARR?
SHE'S--
SHE'S WITH MY BROTHERS,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
LOCK HIM UP!
AND DON'T TAKE
YOUR EYES OFF HIM.
WHEREVER THOSE DALTON BROTHERS
ARE, THEY'LL BE COMING
AFTER HIM, AND I WANT THEM TO.
YOU WANT THEM TO?
CERTAINLY. THEN WE GET
THE WHOLE DALTON GANG.
GOOD IDEA.
HEY!
HEY, YOU FELLAS!
IF YOU GOT ANY FIRE
EQUIPMENT, YOU BETTER
GET IT TO ROLLIN'.
MILLER'S BARN'S
GOT ITSELF ON FIRE.
- [ Bell Clanging ]
- HEY! GET OUT THERE, FOLKS!
MILLER'S BARN'S ABOUT TO BURN.
BUCKET BRIGADE!
BUCKET BRIGADE! FALL IN.
THERE'S A BARN BURNING.
COME ON!
COME ON.
[ Clanging Continues ]
[ Bell Ringing ]
STAY HERE WITH ME.
I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES
WITH BOB DALTON.
ALL CLEAR.
DON'T DRAW.
KEYS.
OVER THERE.
[ Keys Clatter In Lock ]
INSIDE.
YAH!
HELP, SOMEBODY!
COME IN HERE!
OPEN THIS DOOR!
FINE DEPUTY
YOU TURNED OUT TO BE.
SITTIN' THERE
READIN' A NEWSPAPER.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
I DON'T GET YOU, BELLE.
KNOCKIN' MY GUNS OFF
THAT WAY.
IF YOU'D-A SHOT
TOM BRADFIELD, THEY'D HAVE
STRUNG YOU UP RIGHT THERE.
NOW YOU FIGURE I OUGHTA
BE GRATEFUL TO YOU, HUH?
WE'RE SQUARE.
YOU GOT ME AWAY FROM THE LAW.
I DID THE SAME FOR YOU.
THE SLATE'S CLEAN.
THAT'S A CUTE WAY OF FIGURIN'
AFTER CROSSING US UP...
ON THE BIRD CAGE JOB,
NEARLY GETTING US
ALL KILLED.
YOU GOT A CUTE WAY
OF FIGURIN' TOO, SENDING
THAT POSSE OUT TO RINGO'S.
POSSE? WHAT ARE YOU
TALKIN' ABOUT, POSSE?
I WENT BACK TO RINGO'S
TO GET YOU, LIKE I PROMISED.
THE PLACE WAS BURNED DOWN.
NOTHING BUT ASHES.
WHO DO YOU THINK BURNED IT DOWN?
ME?
I'M TELLING YOU WE DIDN'T
SEND A POSSE UP THERE.
WE DALTONS WOULDN'T SEND
A POSSE AFTER ANYBODY.
THEN HOW DID THEY FIND US
ONE DAY AFTER YOU LEFT?
ANYBODY DO ANY HUNTIN'?
SHOOTIN'?
THAT WAS IT.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN.
MAC AND I DID SOME
TARGET SHOOTING.
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE HEARD US.
NO USE TALKIN', TOM.
I'M GETTIN' OLD.
IT'S QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
FOR A MAN TO GROW OLD...
IN THIS COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY
WITH THE DALTONS AROUND.
THEY GOT A LOT OF NERVE,
PULLING A THING LIKE THAT.
IF THEY DID IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "IF"?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
WELL, NOW. I THINK
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER.
[ Giggles ]
HOW LONG DO I STAY
HOLED UP HERE?
WHEN THE EXCITEMENT DIES DOWN,
MAC AND RINGO WILL COME BACK
AND RIDE YOU OUT OF TOWN.
HMM. THAT OUGHTA
BE QUITE A RIDE FOR ME.
[ Knocking ]
WHO IS IT?
TOM BRADFIELD.
JUST A MINUTE.
COME IN, TOM.
HELLO, MONTANA.
I, UH-- I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT
ALL THAT COMMOTION DOWN THERE.
YES. I WAS ASLEEP.
IT WOKE ME UP. WHAT
WAS IT ALL ABOUT?
BOB DALTON GOT AWAY.
NO.
SEEMS HIS BROTHERS RESCUED HIM.
THEY SET FIRE TO THE LIVERY
STABLE TO DRAW OFF THE CROWD,
AND THEN THEY
STUCK UP THE JAIL.
THERE'S JUST NO LIMIT TO
WHAT THOSE DALTONS'LL DO.
WILL YOU SIT DOWN?
NO. NO, THANKS. I WON'T
WAIT. I, UH-- I'M AFRAID
IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE.
NOT SAFE?
DIDN'T ANYONE
EVER TELL YOU YOU'RE
A VERY DANGEROUS WOMAN?
[ Chuckles ]
IS THAT SUPPOSED
TO BE A COMPLIMENT?
IT ISN'T EVERY WOMAN THAT
CAN HIDE HER CROWNING GLORY
AND STILL REMAIN BEAUTIFUL.
[ Chuckles ]
THEM'S MIGHTY PRETTY WORDS.
I HAVE A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.
PROPOSITION?
HOW ABOUT A RIDE IN THE COUNTRY?
NICE OUT THERE NOW.
INDIAN SUMMER.
WE'LL TAKE A BASKET AND HAVE
A GOOD, OLD-FASHIONED PICNIC.
PROPOSITION ACCEPTED.
MAKE IT SOON.
WE WILL.
GOOD NIGHT, MONTANA.
GOOD NIGHT, TOM.
THAT SMOOTH-TALKIN' DUDE.
SOMEDAY, I'LL
KNOCK HIS HEAD OFF.
YOU TRIED THAT TONIGHT.
YOU CAN'T
GO FOR HIM, BELLE.
WHAT ABOUT THAT PROMISE
TO GO TO CALIFORNIA WITH ME?
NO, BOB. I'M STAYING HERE.
WHAT? YOU'RE SITTING
ON DYNAMITE. SOMEBODY'LL
SPOT YOU, SURE.
I'M SORRY. I'VE GOT
SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS
IN GUTHRIE.
YOU THINK TOM BRADFIELD
WILL STICK TO YOU WHEN HE
FINDS OUT YOU'RE BELLE STARR?
TOM BRADFIELD MEANS NOTHING
TO ME. WHEN I FINISH MY BUSINESS
HERE, I'M LEAVING WITHOUT HIM.
COME WITH ME, BELLE.
I'LL GET YOU EVERYTHING
YOU WANT.
JUST THINK. CALIFORNIA.
LOADED WITH SOFT TOUCHES
JUST WAITIN' FOR US.
COME ON, DALTON. WE
GOT YOUR HORSE DOWN BELOW.
WE HAD THE DALTONS ALL WRONG.
THEY DIDN'T SEND THAT POSSE
OUT TO RINGO'S.
THAT WHAT HE TOLD YOU?
NO. IT'S TRUE.
SOMEONE MUST'VE HEARD US
TARGET SHOOTING THAT DAY.
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.
I WANT YOU BOYS TO SEE
THAT HE GETS OUT OF TOWN.
WE'LL SEE TO THAT.
AND SAFE. IF ANYTHING
HAPPENS TO HIM, YOU'D
BETTER NOT COME BACK HERE.
HE'LL BE SAFE... THIS TIME.
COME ON, ROMEO.
WAIT.
THANKS. IF YOU EVER NEED ME,
GET IN TOUCH WITH YELLOW DEER'S
PLACE NEAR THE PAWNEE NATION.
HIYA, TOM.
HELLO, TOM.
GOOD TO SEE YA, MATT.
I WAS JUST GOING TO TELL
MR. RIDEOUT ABOUT YOUR SCHEME
FOR TRAPPING THE DALTONS.
BUT IT SHOULD
COME FROM YOU. GO AHEAD.
WELL, YOU SEE, JEPTHA,
HERETOFORE,
ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY HAS BEEN PAID OUT...
THROUGH HALF A DOZEN BANKS
FOR GOVERNMENT BEEF CONTRACTS.
-YES, I KNOW.
-NOW, IT'S MY IDEA, IF WE CAN
GET ALL THAT MONEY IN ONE BANK,
IT'S JUST THE PRIZE THE DALTONS
WOULD BE CERTAIN TO GO AFTER.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A CHANCE TO FIND OUT. I FINALLY
GOT THROUGH ALL THE RED TAPE.
MONEY WILL BE DELIVERED
TO MR. RIDEOUT'S BANK HERE
TUESDAY THE 11th.
- YOU GUARANTEE THE INFORMATION
WILL GET TO THE DALTONS?
- ABSOLUTELY.
I'M NERVOUS.
A MILLION DOLLARS
IN MY BANK--
FULLY COVERED BY
THE BANKERS' PROTECTIVE.
BUT IF THE DALTONS
DO COME TO GET IT,
THERE'LL BE SHOOTING.
PROBABLY WILL BE,
BUT THAT'S NO REASON THAT
YOU SHOULD GET HURT.
WELL, I CERTAINLY
HOPE NOT. WELL, WHAT
DO I DO NEXT?
TELL THE WORLD ABOUT IT.
MAKE A BIG SPREAD IN EVERY
NEWSPAPER IN THE TERRITORIES.
START PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT THE BIGGEST
DAY IN GUTHRIE'S HISTORY.
AND WE WILL.
COME ON OVER, MATT.
I WANNA TALK TO YOU.
SO LONG.
SO LONG.
A MILLION DOLLARS.
WHOO!
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT WAS SOMETHING
YOU JUST TALK ABOUT.
NOW AREN'T YOU GLAD
WE STAYED IN GUTHRIE?
DO WE TAKE IT?
YOU BET WE DO.
BUT WE'LL NEED HELP.
WHO YOU GOT IN MIND?
THE DALTONS.
WHY THEM?
BECAUSE WE OWE THEM SOMETHING
FROM THE BIRD CAGE JOB.
WHERE DO WE FIND THEM?
BOB TOLD ME TO CONTACT
YELLOW DEER NEAR PAWNEE NATION.
I KNOW YELLOW DEER.
GOOD.
YOU TWO GO AND SEE IF
THE DALTONS ARE INTERESTED.
IF THEY ARE,
STAY WITH THEM UNTIL
THE NIGHT OF THE TENTH.
I'LL HAVE THE LAYOUT BY THEN,
AND WE'LL OPERATE
FROM JIM'S PLACE.
YOU MUSTN'T DO THAT.
WHY? DIDN'T
YOU WANT ME TO?
OH, IT'S NOT THAT.
IT'S JUST--
JUST WHAT, DARLING?
IT'S NOT GOOD
FOR EITHER ONE OF US.
WHY?
[ Sighs ]
DON'T ASK ME WHY.
DO IT AGAIN.
TOM?
YES?
LAST NIGHT,
WHEN YOU WERE TALKING
TO MARSHAL RIPPLE,
I HEARD YOU SAY
THAT SOON WE'D ALL
BE OUT OF DATE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE DALTONS.
JUST WHAT DID YOU MEAN?
JUST THAT THE TERRITORY
IS GROWING UP.
YOU SEE, IN A NEW COUNTRY,
EVERYONE GETS THE FEELING
THAT ANYTHING GOES,
AND THAT BRINGS ON A WAVE
OF LAWLESSNESS SUCH AS
WE HAVE IN OKLAHOMA TODAY.
BUT THAT SORT OF THING
IS GOING OUT, AND SO ARE WE.
WHY "WE"?
BECAUSE WE'RE
PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS, DARLING.
HONEST, YES,
BUT ALL PART OF THE ERA.
WE'RE GETTING
OUT OF DATE TOO.
WELL, SUPPOSE--
SUPPOSE WHAT?
NOTHING.
THERE WAS SOMETHING
YOU WANTED TO SAY TO ME,
WASN'T THERE?
WELL, IT'S JUST THAT I--
IT'S REALLY NOTHING.
DARLING, IF YOU EVER DO
WANNA SAY ANYTHING TO ME,
YOU WON'T BE AFRAID
TO COME TO ME, WILL YOU?
NO, TOM.
YOU'RE THE ONE MAN
I'LL NEVER BE AFRAID OF.
DON'T YOU THINK WE'D BETTER
BE GETTING HOME, DARLING?
IT'S GETTING LATE.
[ Tom ]
WELL, THE HORSE IS GOING
JUST AS FAST AS HE CAN.
BELLE SAYS TO MEET
AT JIM'S PLACE THE NIGHT
OF THE TENTH.
BELLE SAYS THAT--
"BELLE SAYS."
WHAT IS THIS "BELLE SAYS"?
IS SHE RAMRODDING THIS OUTFIT?
SHE'S RAMRODDING THIS JOB.
DO WE KNOW WE CAN TRUST HER?
SHE CROSSED US ON THE BIRD CAGE
JOB, DIDN'T SHE?
I TOLD YOU HOW THAT PLAY
CAME UP. NOW, SHUT UP.
DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP.
IF EMMETT DALTON WINDS UP
IN A GUTHRIE STREET WITH A BELLY
FULL OF .45s, THAT'LL BE ME.
I WANNA KNOW
WHAT I'M GETTIN' INTO.
AND I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YA.
YOU DON'T
LIKE THE SETUP,
JUST SAY SO.
EMMETT'S TALKIN'
THROUGH HIS HAT.
I LIKE IT.
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, EMMETT.
ALL RIGHT. COUNT ME IN.
BUT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
DON'T BLAME ME.
HAPPY?
COURSE I AM.
WHAT WOMAN WOULDN'T BE
WITH YOU, TOM? THIS HAS BEEN
THE HAPPIEST WEEK OF MY LIFE.
AND YOU'RE
A DIFFERENT PERSON.
DIFFERENT? IN WHAT WAY?
WELL, YOU ALWAYS
SEEMED TO BE GUARDING
AGAINST SOMETHING.
THAT TENSENESS
IS GONE NOW. YOU'RE
MORE LIGHTHEARTED...
AND QUICK TO LAUGH
AND, WELL, JUST A LOT
OF FUN TO BE WITH.
I HOPE YOU ALWAYS
REMEMBER ME THAT WAY.
REMEMBER YOU?
WHY, I'LL NEVER LET YOU
GET FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM ME
TO HAVE TO REMEMBER.
YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE RIGHT HERE.
YOU'RE MY PARTNER,
AREN'T YOU?
YES. I'M YOUR PARTNER.
LET'S DRINK
TO THAT PARTNERSHIP--
A PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT DECEPTION,
SO IT CAN ENDURE
AND BRING HAPPINESS...
AND PRIDE
TO BOTH OF US.
DRINK.
TOM, YOU'LL HAVE TO
EXCUSE ME NOW. I MUST CHANGE,
OR I'LL BE LATE FOR MY NUMBER.

ANYTHING WRONG?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
TOM, THERE'S SOMETHING
I'VE GOTTA TELL YOU,
AND I DON'T KNOW ANY WAY
TO SAY IT EXCEPT
STRAIGHT OUT.
I'M BELLE STARR.
I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME.
THAT'S THE ONE THING
I'VE BEEN WAITING
TO HEAR.
YOU KNEW IT?
YES.
EVER SINCE THE DAY
I PLAYED BLACKJACK WITH YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
TURN ME OVER TO THE LAW?
WELL, BECAUSE I KNEW...
THAT SOONER OR LATER,
BELLE STARR WOULD LEAD ME
TO THE DALTONS.
OH. SO THAT WAS IT.
WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT STARTED. BUT THINGS
HAVE CHANGED... A LOT.
YOU SEE,
I HAPPEN TO LOVE YOU.
DO YOU, TOM?
DO YOU REALLY?
MORE THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
OH, TOM.
WHY COULDN'T IT
HAVE HAPPENED SOONER?
BUT IT ISN'T TOO LATE...
IF YOU DON'T RIDE IN
WITH THE DALTONS TOMORROW.
YOU KNEW THAT TOO.
I'VE BEEN CERTAIN
EVER SINCE MAC AND RINGO
TURNED UP MISSING.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
YOU'RE GOING TO MEXICO...
TONIGHT.
AND I'M GOING TO JOIN YOU
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
MEXICO?
I CAN'T KEEP RUNNING AWAY
FROM THE LAW FOREVER.
NO, AND YOU WON'T.
IN A YEAR OR TWO,
I'M COMING BACK FROM MEXICO
WITH MY WIFE.
I'M GOING TO SAY
TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES,
"THIS IS MRS. BRADFIELD.
"SHE USED
TO BE BELLE STARR.
SHE HAS A DEBT TO PAY,
AND LET HER PAY IT."
AND WHEN THAT DEBT IS PAID,
I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE LIFE
WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE FOR YOU.
WHEN THAT DAY COMES,
LET ME KNOW.
I'LL PAY OFF.
I KNEW THAT. NOW,
YOU HURRY AND PACK, AND I'LL
ARRANGE SOME TRANSPORTATION.
I WANT TO GET YOU
OUT OF HERE TONIGHT.
FIGURING ON TAKING
THAT TRUNK WITH YOU?
MAC.
YOU TOLD ME TO COME AND GET
YOU THE NIGHT OF THE TENTH.
THIS IS THE TENTH.
YES. I FORGOT.
FORGOT?
DID YOU FORGET WE'RE
TAKING A MILLION DOLLARS
OUT OF THE BANK TOMORROW?
MAC, I'M OUT OF THAT DEAL.
YOU TELL THE OTHERS
TO GIVE IT UP TOO.
GIVE IT UP?
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU? LOST YOUR NERVE?
YES. YES, THAT'S IT.
I'VE LOST MY NERVE.
WELL, IF YOU HAVE,
I'VE LOST MY RIGHT LEG.
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
HERE. WHAT IS IT, BELLE?
IT'S NOTHING.
IT'S JUST THAT
IT'S TOO GREAT A RISK.
WE'D NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT.
YOU TELL THE BOYS
NOT TO COME TO TOWN TOMORROW.
[ Pete ]
WHOA. WELL, NOW. WHOA.
[ Pete ] YOU WANT ME
TO GIVE YOU A HAND
WITH MONTANY'S TRUNK?
[ Tom ]
YES.
SO THAT'S IT, HUH?
TOM BRADFIELD FINALLY
GOT TO YOU.
WELL, YOU WON'T
HAVE HIM LONG, BECAUSE WHEN
HE COMES THROUGH THAT DOOR,
I'M GONNA DRILL HIM...
DEAD CENTER.
MAC, PLEASE.
GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO BE HAPPY.
YOU LOVE HIM,
DON'T YOU?
YES. I LOVE HIM.
WOMEN ARE FUNNY. YOU STAND HERE
TELLING ME YOU LOVE BRADFIELD,
ASKING ME NOT TO PLUG HIM.
YOU KNOW I'D SHOOT TEN MEN
TO GET YOU.
YEP. YOU'RE FUNNY PEOPLE.
[ Pete Talking,
Indistinct ]
MAC, PLEASE.
[ Knocking ]
JUST A MINUTE.
GOOD-BYE, MY LOVE.
GOOD-BYE, TOM.
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING? MONEY AND
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REACH ME?
MM-HMM.
BE A GOOD GIRL.
I'LL BE THE BEST GIRL
YOU EVER KNEW.
[ Coughs ]
ALL RIGHT, PETE.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
SHE'LL GET NOTHIN'
BUT THE BEST. HYAH!
[ Mac ]
HOLD IT, PETE.
[ Pete ] WHOA. WELL, NOW. WHOA.
HATE TO BOTHER YOU,
BUT THERE'S SOME FOLKS
OVER AT JIM CLARK'S PLACE...
IN ABSAROKA WANNA
SEE THIS YOUNG LADY.
[ Spits ]
BUT I AIN'T GOIN' TO ABSAROKA.
YES, YOU ARE.
DO AS HE SAYS, PETE.
IF YOU SAY SO. BUT THERE'S GONNA
BE TROUBLE WHEN WE GET THERE.
NOT IF YOU'VE GOT A BRAIN
IN THAT FOOL HEAD OF YOURS,
THERE WON'T.
- THIS WAY.
- [ Pete ]
HYAH.
[ Blows ]
I WAS BEGINNING TO
FIGURE SHE'D LOST HER NERVE,
WHEN UP DRIVES BRADFIELD
IN PETE'S RIG.
-I GOT THE WHOLE PLAY THEN.
-YOU'RE ALL TANGLED UP. SHE
GOT ME OUT OF JAIL, DIDN'T SHE?
SURE, SHE DID.
SHE HAD TO. IF YOU'D-A TOLD
THOSE SUCKERS IN GUTHRIE...
SHE IS BELLE STARR, THEY'D-A
STRETCHED THAT PRETTY NECK.
WELL, NOW.
BELLE STARR!
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO
WITH THIS JOB?
MAC JUST TOLD YA.
SHE WANTS TO PLAY DANDY
WITH TOM BRADFIELD, SO SHE DON'T
WANT NO TROUBLE IN GUTHRIE.
IT'S A DOUBLE-CROSS THAT
EVEN YOU COULD SEE IF SKIRTS
WEREN'T BLOWIN' IN YOUR EYES.
I'LL STRING ALONG WI EMMTHT ON
THAT. WE'VE BEEN SPOUTING OFF
ABOUT A MILLION-DOLLAR HAUL.
LET'S GET IN AND MAKE IT.
WHAT ABOUT BELLE?
SHE RIDES WITH US
OR SHE STAYS RIGHT HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "RIGHT HERE"?
I MEAN IN A HOLE
RIGHT UNDER THIS FLOOR.
YOU KNOW I WON'T
HOLD STILL FOR THAT.
OH, YES, YOU WILL.
I AIN'T TAKING ANY CHANCES
WITH THIS WOMAN. IF SHE'S RIDING
WITH US, WE CAN WATCH HER.
IF SHE AIN'T RIDIN' WITH US,
SHE STAYS HERE.
- LET'S HEAR FROM BELLE.
- I'LL RIDE WITH YOU
ON ONE CONDITION:
I WANT BOB'S WORD THAT HE'LL
LEAVE TOM BRADFIELD ALONE.
ALL RIGHT, BELLE,
IF YOU WANT IT THAT WAY.
WELL, LET'S QUIT
ALL THIS HORSING AROUND
AND GET SOME PLANS MADE.
YOU GET THE LAYOUT
OF THAT BANK?
YES.
JIM, GET ME A PAPER AND PENCIL.
ONE OF YA DRAG MY TRUNK
OFF PETE'S WAGON.
I'LL NEED SOME WORK CLOTHES.
WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO
EXPECT THE DALTONS BEFORE 11:00.
WARN THE CITIZENS
TO KEEP OFF THE STREETS
AND AVOID PANIC.
YOU, STEWART,
TAKE OVER THE TELLER'S CAGE.
RIDEOUT AND HIS CLERKS
WILL KEEP OUT OF THE WAY.
AND REMEMBER THIS, MEN:
IF YOU SEE ANY OF THE DALTONS
RIDING INTO TOWN,
LET 'EM ALONE.
WE WANT 'EM
TO GET INTO THAT BANK
AND GET THAT MONEY.
THAT'S EVIDENCE.
WE'LL GET IT WHEN
THEY GET OUT.
YOU WANNA ADD ANYTHING, RIPPLE?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE DONE THINGS
UP BROWN, TOM.
MATT?
NOT A THING.
ALL RIGHT, MEN. LET'S
GET YOUR LEGS MOVING.
DRINK?
TOO EARLY.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE REALLY GONNA
MAKE IT STICK THIS TIME--
IF THE DALTONS COME TO TOWN.
THEY'LL COME.
YOU SEEM MIGHTY CONFIDENT.
I COULDN'T BE MORE CONFIDENT
IF THE DALTONS TOLD ME
THEMSELVES.
IN THAT CASE, IT LOOKS LIKE
I'LL BE PAYING YOU $90,000
BEFORE THE DAY IS OUT.
- WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITH IT?
- WELL,
I'M GONNA SHOOT PART OF IT
ON THE "RIP-ROARINGEST" MEXICAN
HONEYMOON YOU EVER HEARD OF.
MEXICAN HONEYMOON.
THAT CHARMING PARTNER
OF YOURS, I'LL BET.
THAT'S RIGHT. BELLE AND I
ARE TREMENDOUSLY IN LOVE,
AND EVENTUALLY,
WE SHOULD BE TREMENDOUSLY HAPPY.
BELLE? I THOUGHT HER NAME
WAS MONTANA.
OH, THAT'S ONLY HER NICKNAME.
HER REAL NAME IS BELLE STARR.
BELLE--
BELLE STARR?
APPARENTLY
YOU'VE HEARD OF HER.
SEE HERE, TOM.
THIS IS NO TIME TO JEST.
I'M NOT JESTING.
MY PARTNER
AND THE WOMAN I LOVE
IS BELLE STARR.
WAIT A MINUTE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HERE.
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
MEXICO. OR SHOULD BE
IN A FEW HOURS.
BUT SHE'S AN OUTLAW,
AS MUCH AN OUTLAW AS ANY
OF THE DALTONS.
SHE'S A CRIMINAL
WITH A PRICE ON HER HEAD.
IF THE LAW--
I KNOW. IF THE LAW GOT HER,
THEY'D PUT HER AWAY FOR LIFE.
THEY CERTAINLY WOULD.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
NO. WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME.
A COUPLE OF THINGS
I'VE GOT TO THINK OVER
HERE. BELLE STARR.
OH, HELLO, STEWART.
MY SAFE IS OPEN ALREADY.
I'LL TAKE IT NOW, MR. RIDEOUT.
YOU GO OVER
TO THE COURTHOUSE AND WAIT.
YES, SIR.
THERE SURE
AIN'T MUCH STIRRIN'.
EVERYBODY'S
PROBABLY GOT A HANGOVER
FROM LAST NIGHT'S DOINGS.
IT JUST AIN'T NATURAL.
REMEMBER? I TOLD YOU
NOT TO COME.
YEAH. WE REMEMBER.
FILL 'EM UP... FULL.
WELL, IT MUST
BE ABOUT TIME, TOM. YOU WANNA
GO DOWN AND SEE IF THE FIRE--
WHAT ON EARTH?
I COULDN'T WAIT
TO GET TO THE DOOR.
I FIGURED THE WINDOW'D
BE QUICKER.
ARE YOU DRUNK?
NO. I AIN'T NOW,
BUT I'M-A AIMIN' TO BE.
TOM, YOUR MONTANA
IS BELLE STARR, AND THE DALTONS
ARE MAKIN' HER HOLD UP THE BANK.
WHAT'S THAT?
[ Chokes ] WELL,
THEY NABBED US LAST NIGHT,
AND EMMETT WAS GONNA SHOOT HER
'CAUSE SHE TRIED TO TALK HIM
OUT OF ROBBIN' THE BANK.
THEN BOB, HE WAS COMIN' HERE
AND KILL YOU. WELL,
IT WOUND UP THAT...
SHE PROMISED SHE'D RIDE
WITH HIM IF THEY'D GUARANTEE HER
THAT THEY WOULDN'T BOTHER YOU.
WHERE'S MONTANA NOW?
SHE'S RIDIN'
WITH THE DALTONS...
TO HOLD UP RIDEOUT'S BANK.
TAKE IT EASY, TOM.
THIS PUTS A DIFFERENT LIGHT
ON THINGS. SIT DOWN.
KEEP 'EM HIGH.
[ Gunshots ]
[ Horses Whinnying ]
[ Gunshots Continue ]
NO, TOM.
I'D KILL YOU BEFORE I'D
LET YOU GO OUT THERE.
YOU CAN'T SPOIL THINGS NOW.
WELL, NOW.
I DON'T CARE WHOMSOEVER ELSE
YOU SHOOT,
BUT I DON'T
WANT YOU SHOOTIN' TOM,
'CAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND.
[ Gunshots ]
BELLE'S DOWN!
HOLD YOUR FIRE!
MONTANA!
- MONTANA!
- GO BACK, TOM!
THEY'LL KILL YOU!
- YOU MADE HER A PROMISE.
- MONTANA!
[ Gunshot ]
HERE.
GIVE ME A HAND.
[ Gunshots Continue ]
ALL RIGHT, BRADFIELD.
TAKE HER.
[ Gunshots ]
[ Gun Clicks ]
COME ON, BOB.
LET'S WALK OUT OF THIS TOWN.
ALL RIGHT, YOU DOGS,
DROP YOUR GUNS.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
TAKE 'EM DOWN
TO THE JAIL.
[ Crowd Murmuring ]
I'VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR YOU FOLKS.
THE DALTON GANG
IS OUT OF BUSINESS.
[ Crowd Cheering ]
JIM CLARK, MAC AND RINGO
ARE DEAD. THE DALTONS
ARE SHOT UP,
BUT THEY'LL LIVE
TO FACE THE JURY.
I WANNA KNOW WHO WAS THAT
YOUNG BANDIT THAT TOM BRADFIELD
TOOK OUT OF THE BANK.
THAT YOUNG BANDIT
WAS BELLE STARR.
BELLE STARR?
CONWAY, GET A POSSE MOUNTED.
WE'LL RIDE THEM DOWN.
[ Groaning ]
OH, TOM--
TOM, I TRIED TO--
I KNOW. PETE BIVINS
TOLD US ALL ABOUT IT.
[ Sighs ]
TOO BAD IT HAD
TO END LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO END.
I'LL GET YOU A DOCTOR,
AND WHEN YOU'RE PATCHED UP,
WE'LL STILL HAVE
THAT MEXICAN HONEYMOON.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Man ]
HYAH! HYAH!
WHAT'S THAT?
RIPPLE... AND A POSSE.
[ Men Chattering ]
LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE
TO WAIT FOR THAT HONEYMOON.
BUT WHEN I COME OUT,
I WON'T OWE ANY MAN
ANYTHING.
I'LL BE ALL YOURS THEN--
HONESTLY YOURS.
THE DALTONS GOT COMPANY.
WOMAN.
AH, THOSE
INJUN EYES OF YOURS.
IT IS WOMAN.
SQUAW. ONLY TROUBLE
COME WITH SQUAW.
I'VE HAD SOME TIMES
WITH 'EM I WOULDN'T
EXACTLY CALL TROUBLE.
WHAT YOU SUPPOSE
THEY WANT TO BRING
A WOMAN HERE FOR?
COULD BE SEVERAL ANSWERS
TO THAT QUESTION.
BOYS, THIS IS
BELLE STARR.
MY BROTHERS EMMETT, BEN.
THIS IS MAC.
HOWDY.
AND RINGO.
HE OWNS THE PLACE.
- YOU DON'T MIND
ONE MORE, DO YOU, RINGO?
- HE DON'T MIND.
WHAT'S HER PLAY, BOB?
LAW HAD HER, EMMETT.
MOB IN RAWHIDE
WAS GONNA LYNCH HER.
MAC, YOU AND RINGO
GIVE ME A HAND
WITH THESE CUFFS, WILL YOU?
COME DOWN HERE, BELLE.
AIN'T WE GOT
OUR HANDS FULL ENOUGH
WITHOUT SAM STARR'S WIFE?
SHE AIN'T HIS WIFE
ANY LONGER.
SHE'S HIS WIDOW.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO SAM?
- THEY KILLED HIM THIS MORNING.
GUNFIGHT UP AT HIS PLACE.
I TOLD BOB IT WASN'T
HIS BUSINESS,
BUT YOU KNOW BOB.
HE'D HAVE TRIED IT ALONE.
HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD A CHANCE.
WHAT ELSE COULD I DO
BUT PUT IN WITH HIM?
NOTHIN'.
THAT DOES IT.
THANKS.
COME ON IN THE CABIN.
I'LL GET YA SOMETHIN'
FOR THOSE WRISTS.
BOB.
ARE YOU A DALTON TOO?
[ Scoffs ]
NO, MA'AM.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO WITH HER?
HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT YET.
LET HER STAY HERE
FOR A WHILE, I GUESS.
DID YA KILL ANY OF THE POSSE?
JUST NICKED 'EM. THAT'S ALL.
DID THEY KNOW
YOU'RE A DALTON?
ONE OF 'EM DID. GRAT DOWNED HIM.
WHY DIDN'T YA
STOP TO THINK?
THEY NEVER STOP
TO THINK OF NOTHIN'.
YOU KNOW THEY'RE GONNA TURN
THE OKLAHOMA TERRITORY
UPSIDE DOWN?
JUST AS WE LAY LOW
TO LET THINGS DIE DOWN,
YOU PULL SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
NOW, LOOK. GRAT CAN TELL YA.
THEY WERE GONNA STRING HER UP.
IT WAS STILL NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.
I MADE IT MY BUSINESS.
I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF ANYBODY
SWINGIN' FROM THE END OF A ROPE.
YEAH. 'SPECIALLY WHEN
IT'S A PRETTY GIRL.
YEAH. 'SPECIALLY WHEN
IT'S A PRETTY GIRL.
[ Knocking ]
COME IN.
- HELLO, TOM.
- WELL, MATT TOWNER.
WHAT BRINGS YOU TO GUTHRIE?
YOU.
ME? SIT DOWN.
WHAT COULD THE BANKERS'
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
WANT WITH ME?
WE CARRY THE INSURANCE POLICIES
ON MOST OF THE BANKS IN KANSAS,
ARKANSAS AND THE TERRITORIES.
OH.
EVERY TIME A BANK IS ROBBED,
IT COSTS US MONEY.
A LOT OF 'EM
ARE BEING ROBBED.
IT'S COSTING US A HALF A
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
WE DON'T LIKE THAT.
HALF A MILLION. WON'T TAKE
MANY YEARS OF THAT TO PUT
YOU OUT OF BUSINESS.
WE'LL BE OUT OF BUSINESS
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, UNLESS
THE DALTONS ARE CAUGHT.
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING HERE.
YOU'RE A DECENT CITIZEN,
TOM. YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO SEE
THE DALTONS CAUGHT?
SURE, BUT THAT'S YOUR JOB
OR THE U.S. MARSHAL'S.
WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN,
BUT IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
BUT YOU, NOW--
EVERYBODY IN THE TERRITORIES
KNOWS YOU. YOU HAVE FRIENDS.
YOU HEAR THINGS--
THINGS A LAWMAN
DOESN'T HEAR.
IF ANYBODY CAN GET
THESE MEN, YOU CAN.
WE'RE WILLING TO
MAKE A DEAL WITH YOU.
WHAT KIND OF A DEAL?
$25,000 FOR THE DALTONS.
[ Chuckles ]
COME HERE, MATT.
I WANT TO SHOW
YOU SOMETHING.
I'VE GOT 25,000.
THAT'S QUITE A PILE.
I ALWAYS KEEP
ABOUT 50,000 ON HAND
IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES.
IT'S A WONDER THE DALTONS
HAVEN'T VISITED YOU.
I DON'T NOISE IT AROUND
HOW WELL I'M DOING HERE.
MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO.
MAYBE GETTING THE DALTONS
WOULDN'T BE AS BIG
A JOB AS YOU THINK.
HOW HIGH WILL YOU GO?
ALL RIGHT, TOM.
I WON'T BARGAIN WITH YOU.
I TOLD 'EM
YOU'D BE EXPENSIVE.
I'M AUTHORIZED
TO OFFER YOU $100,000.
10,000 NOW--
[ Clears Throat ]
YEAH.
IT'S A DEAL.
I CAN'T STAND
MUCH MORE OF THIS.
[ Horse Approaching ]
THAT HORSE... BAREFOOT.
MAYBE INDIAN. I GO SEE.
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
ALL RIGHT.
WAS RUNNING ELK
FROM AGENCY.
RUNNING ELK SAY
PETE BIVIN
WANT MEET YOU...
TOMORROW AFTERNOON,
SOLDIER FORT.
PETE SAY TELL YOU
HE GOT SOMETHING.
MAYBE PETE HAS GOT
SOMETHING BESIDES THE ITCH.
TELL HIM I'LL BE THERE.
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
I'M GOING TO BED.
NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
LET HER ALONE.
I'M GONNA GET
A PAIL OF WATER, BOB.
THE WATER CAN WAIT.
I CAN'T.
I'M GONNA GET IT NOW.
BOB, STOP IT.
[ Chuckles ]
CUT IT OUT,
BOTH OF YA.
AIN'T YOU EVER
GONNA GET TIRED
OF BEING A WIDOW?
[ Scoffs ]
IF I DO, I'LL LET
THE LADDER DOWN.
[ Door Slams ]
[ Chuckles ]
I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE HER ALONE.
THAT'S FUNNY.
I CAN'T HEAR
NOTHIN' YOU TELL ME.
[ Blows Landing, Grunting ]
[ Whinnies ]
[ Whinnying Continues ]
WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE?
GET OVER THERE!
ONLY TROUBLE
COME WITH SQUAW.
YOU HOTHEADED FOOL.
YOU WOULD BRING
THAT WOMAN HERE.
[ Shouts ]
HEY, PETE!
[ Grunts ]
[ Laughs ]
OH! AIN'T THERE
ANY PEACE IN THE WORLD?
HELLO, EMMETT.
HOW ARE YA, PETE? HOW'S
THE TRADIN' BUSINESS?
I'M JUST
SCRATCHIN' THE SURFACE.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A BATH?
WHAT'S THE USE?
A MAN JUST GETS
DIRTY ALL OVER AGAIN.
[ Coughs ]
I SEE RUNNIN' ELK
GOT TO YA.
YEAH, LAST NIGHT.
WHAT DO YA WANT
TO POWWOW ABOUT, PETE?
I JUST FIGURED THAT WITH
EVERY BANK IN THE TERRITORY
CRAWLIN' WITH GUARDS THAT...
MAYBE YOU BOYS WERE
LOOKIN' FOR SOMETHIN'
EASY FOR A CHANGE.
LIKE WHAT, FOR INSTANCE?
THERE'S A PLACE IN GUTHRIE
JUST BUSTIN' WITH DOUBLE EAGLES.
WHAT PLACE?
[ Spits ]
NOT SO FAST, EMMETT.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
IF IT WORKS OUT ALL RIGHT,
YOU GET $1,000 LIKE
YOU ALWAYS DO.
THAT'S DIFFERENT.
WHAT PLACE IN GUTHRIE?
THE BIRD CAGE.
TOM BRADFIELD'S DOIN'
SO MUCH BUSINESS, HE AIN'T
GOT ROOM FOR HIS MONEY.
DON'T TRUST A BANK--
AFRAID THEM DALTON BROTHERS
WILL STICK IT UP.
[ Chuckles ]
KEEPS IT IN A SAFE
IN HIS BACK ROOM.
HOW MUCH MONEY?
THERE OUGHTA BE A LOT OF IT.
I'LL SAY THAT IF YOU GOT THERE
SATURDAY NIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT,
IT SHOULD BE GOOD
FOR $50,000 OR BETTER.
IT'S JUST LIKE
SHOOTIN' FISH IN A BARREL.
HERE. I'LL SHOW YOU.
SOUNDS GOOD.
NOW, HERE'S THE BIRD CAGE.
THERE'S THREE STEPS
UP TO THE FRONT PORCH,
THEN THERE'S SWINGIN' DOORS,
GREAT BIG ONES.
BAR'S OVER AGAINST THIS WALL,
GAMBLIN' ROOM HERE,
AND THE OFFICE
WITH THE SAFE IN IT'S HERE.
SAFE?
HOW DO WE GET IT OPEN?
I THINK WE CAN INDUCE
TOM BRADFIELD
TO OPEN IT FOR US.
THAT'S ROUGH,
BUT IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA.
I'LL DRAW IT OUT ON PAPER LATER.
WE CAN GO OVER IT AGAIN.
PETE SAYS IF WE HIT THIS PLACE
SATURDAY NIGHT ABOUT MIDNIGHT,
IT OUGHTA BE PRETTY BIG.
MAYBE 50,000.
SATURDAY NIGHT?
IT'S APT TO BE
CROWDED, AIN'T IT?
SO MUCH THE BETTER.
DO WE USE MAC
AND RINGO ON THIS?
WE CAN HANDLE THIS OURSELVES.
THEN WE'RE GOING UP
TO YELLOW DEER'S PLACE,
UP NEAR THE PAWNEE NATION.
IT'LL BE A LITTLE
QUIETER THERE.
WHAT'S THIS, THE NEW HIDEOUT?
THAT'S RIGHT.
PETE BIVINS IS
GONNA FIX IT FOR US.
YOU MEAN,
WE'RE LEAVING HERE?
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHY?
IT'S BEEN DECIDED.
FIRST I HEARD ABOUT IT.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO SAY NOTHIN'
TILL WE WERE SURE.
NOW THAT WE GOT A JOB--
YOU TALKED ABOUT IT
BEFORE YOU WERE SURE.
HOW COME I WASN'T INCLUDED?
YOU HAD SOMETHIN' ELSE
ON YOUR MIND, REMEMBER?
[ Huffs ]
YOU'RE CUTTING OFF YOUR NOSE
TO SPITE YOUR FACE.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE
BELLE HERE, TELL
RINGO AND MAC.
IT WON'T BE SAFE IF WE KICK
HER OUT. COULD TIP OFF THE LAW,
MAKE A DEAL FOR HERSELF.
IT'S ALL SETTLED, BOB.
WE'RE MOVIN' UP NEAR
THE PAWNEE NATION.
WE'RE MOVIN' TOMORROW SO WE CAN
BE THERE BY SUNDOWN. WE'D LIKE
TO HAVE YOU GO WITH US,
BUT THAT'S UP TO YOU.
YOU MOVE SOMEPLACE,
AND I MOVE WITH YA.
YOU'D BETTER FORGET ABOUT ME.
YOU'LL ONLY GET IN MORE TROUBLE
WITH YOUR BROTHERS.
STOP THINKIN'
ABOUT MY BROTHERS.
THINK ABOUT ME.
WHY SHOULD I? YOU FIGURE I
OUGHTA BE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR
GETTIN' ME AWAY FROM THE LAW.
WELL, I DIDN'T
ASK YOU TO DO IT.
I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO BE GRATEFUL, BELLE.
I'M ASKING YOU TO LOVE ME.
NO, THANKS.
I WAS MARRIED
TO ONE OUTLAW.
THE LAST PAYOFF'S
ALWAYS THE SAME.
BOOT HILL.
- OH, HELLO, PETE.
- HELLO, MR. BRADFIELD.
HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?
I SAW EMMETT DALTON.
AND?
THEY'RE COMIN'.
WHEN?
I RECOLLECT YOU AND I
MADE A DEAL ABOUT THAT.
I'VE ALREADY PAID YOU $250.
WELL, THAT WAS FOR TRYIN',
BUT THIS TIME IS
SURE AS SHOOTIN'.
HOW MUCH ARE THE DALTONS
PAYING YOU?
WELL, NOW. FIFTEEN HUNDRED?
I'LL DOUBLE IT,
IF IT COMES OFF.
THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR.
TOM BRADFIELD'S WORD'S
JUST AS GOOD AS HIS BOND.
[ Knocks ]
WHEN ARE THEY COMING?
I SUGGESTED SATURDAY NIGHT.
I RECOLLECT THEY'LL PROBABLY
COME "TRICOLATIN'" IN HERE
AROUND MIDNIGHT.
GOOD. HERE.
BREAK THE SEAL
FOR A CHANGE.
WELL. NOW, AIN'T
THAT HANDSOME?
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY.
GOT ABOUT A WEEK MORE HERE.
THAT'S ALL.
JUST ONE THING: DON'T LET ON
TO MY BROTHERS THAT I MENTIONED
COMING BACK HERE.
WHEN WE LEAVE, ACT LIKE IT'S
PERMANENT. YOU CAN DO THAT?
SURE.
ONLY THING IS, I DON'T
LIKE LEAVING YOU HERE
WITH MAC AND RINGO.
I CAN HANDLE THEM.
JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
DON'T GO GETTIN' SHOT UP.
NO BULLET'S
GONNA GET ME, BELLE.
I'LL LIVE TO BE
AN OLD MAN AND DIE IN BED
WITH YOU HOLDING MY HAND.
THAT'S RIGHT. THEY DON'T
NEED NO HELP. THEY'RE
BIG BOYS. THE DALTON GANG.
EVERY TIME ANYTHING IMPORTANT
COMES UP, THEY CAN
HANDLE IT BY THEMSELVES.
EXCEPT... PLACE.
COOL OFF. NOT WORRY.
NO CAN HANDLE.
COME TO US.
WE PAY OUR WAY, DON'T WE?
WHEN COME BACK,
PAY MORE. LOT MORE.
WHERE IS ALL
THIS JAWING GETTIN' US?
LET'S GET MOVIN'.
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gunshots ]
I NEVER DID COTTON MUCH
TO A RIFLE ANYHOW.
I'M A SIX-SHOOTER MAN
MYSELF.
THAT'S MIGHTY PRETTY
SHOOTIN', BELLE.
NO WANT HER SHOOT AT ME.
[ Chuckles ]
WATCH THIS.
HMM. GOOD THING YOU GOT US MEN
AROUND IN CASE THERE'S
ANY SHOOTIN' TO GET DONE.
COMBS, WE COULD RIDE THESE HILLS
FOR A YEAR AND STILL NEVER FIND
BELLE STARR AND THE DALTONS.
I'LL FIND 'EM IF
IT TAKES FIVE YEARS.
ALL RIGHT. HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY.
- [ Horse Galloping ]
- HEY.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
AH, LOOKS LIKE AN INDIAN.
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
YOU SAVVY HIS LINGO?
YEAH, CHEROKEE. SAYS THERE'S
A WHITE WOMAN BEYOND THE CREEK.
IS HE SURE
IT'S A WHITE WOMAN?
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
BELLE STARR.
SAYS SHE'S YOUNG, BEAUTIFUL.
THINKS IT'S BELLE STARR.
MAYBE WE BETTER TAKE A LOOK-SEE.
YOU BET WE'LL TAKE A LOOK-SEE.
TELL HIM TO LEAD THE WAY.
[ Speaking Indian Dialect ]
MAC! RINGO!
THERE'S A DOZEN MEN
COMIN' UP THE HILL.
SADDLE UP, RINGO.
I'LL HOLD 'EM OFF.
BACK TO YOUR HORSES, MEN!
[ Whinnies ]
THERE'S A FORK AHEAD.
YOU TAKE THE HILL TRAIL.
I'LL TAKE THE OTHER ONE.
MEET US AT JIM CLARK'S
PLACE, ABSAROKA.
JIM CLARK. ABSAROKA.
I HATE TO BELIEVE THAT
ABOUT THEM. IT COULD HAVE BEEN
JUST BAD LUCK, YOU KNOW.
NOT BAD LUCK.
BAD TALK FROM DALTON.
RINGO'S PLACE WAS AS SAFE
AS YOUR MOTHER'S ARMS UNTIL
ONE DAY AFTER THEY LEAVE.
WAS IT FOUND
BY ONE MAN? OH, NO.
A DOZEN GUN-HUNGRY DEPUTIES
WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
AND JUST WHERE TO FIND IT.
I ONLY WANT TO LIVE LONG
ENOUGH TO MEET THE DALTONS
ONE MORE TIME.
WE'LL TALK IT OVER
IN THE SMOKE.
IF I KNEW WHAT THIS JOB
OF THEIRS IS, I'D SAY,
"LET'S BEAT 'EM TO IT."
I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
SO BOB DID TELL YOU, HUH?
HE TOLD ME.
BELLE, ARE YOU CERTAIN
IN YOUR OWN MIND THE DALTONS
TIPPED OFF RINGO'S PLACE?
IT HAD TO BE.
WHEN THEY PULLED OUT,
THEY WERE MAD. THEY DIDN'T
HAVE ANY LOVE FOR MAC OR RINGO,
AND 'SPECIALLY ME.
THAT SETTLES IT AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED.
LET'S HAVE IT, BELLE.
IT'S THE BIRD CAGE IN GUTHRIE--
A GAMBLING HOUSE.
I KNOW THE PLACE.
TOM BRADFIELD RUNS IT.
THEY'RE TAKING IT
AT MIDNIGHT, SATURDAY.
[ Chuckles ]
THAT'S JUST HALF AN HOUR
AFTER WE TAKE IT.
WAIT! RINGO NOT LIKE.
RINGO NOT LIKE WHAT?
WORKING WITH WOMAN?
MAYBE RINGO WRONG.
YOU LOOK LIKE SQUAW.
RIDE, SHOOT LIKE MAN.
[ Chuckles ]
JIM, DIG US UP
SOME BLUE BANDANAS--
MAKE 'EM THINK
WE'RE THE DALTONS.
YOU'D BETTER FIND
SOME MEN'S CLOTHES
FOR ME, THEN.
BALDY, YOU TAKE YOUR MEN
AND COVER THE NORTH END OF TOWN.
FRANK, YOU TAKE THE SOUTH END.
BALDY, I GOT
TEN DOLLARS SAYS
I GET THE FIRST DALTON.
MAKE IT 20,
AND IT'S A BET.
GOOD LUCK, BOYS!
I HOPE TOM BRADFIELD'S GOT
THE RIGHT DOPE ON THE DALTONS
COMING IN AROUND MIDNIGHT.
¶¶ [ Piano ]
CHECK YOUR GUN, MISTER.
RULE OF THE HOUSE.
THERE'S YOUR CHECK.
[ Hoofbeats Approaching ]
BACK UP AGAINST THE WALL.
ALL OF YA!
¶¶ [ Stops ]
TURN AROUND.
[ Man ]
IT'S THE DALTONS!

TELLERS,

GET ON YOUR FEET!
FACE THE WALL.

GET AWAY FROM THE BAR
AND TURN AROUND!

YES.
GET IN YOUR OFFICE
AND OPEN UP THAT SAFE.
BEN, YOU'RE GONNA HANDLE
THE HORSES. GRAT, YOU AND BOB
TAKE THE TABLES AND THE BAR.
I'LL HANDLE THE SAFE.
THERE'S THE DALTON GANG.
LET 'EM HAVE IT, MEN!
[ Gunshot ]
[ Gunshots ]
LET'S GO.
KEEP 'EM UP.
ANYBODY MOVE--
IF IT WEREN'T FOR
YOUR GOLDARN HOUSE RULES,
I'D HAVE HAD MA GUN!
[ Gunshot ]
GIVE ME A HAND HERE, SOMEBODY.
ED DAVIS BEEN HURT BAD.
WHAT ABOUT THE DALTONS?
YOU KNOW WHAT CHANCE WE HAVE
CATCHING THEM NOW.
LET'S GET HIM
OVER TO DOC KENNY'S.
THERE IT IS.
2,100.
2,100?
IT'S ALL WE GOT.
YOU SAID 50,000.
IN THE SAFE, YES.
WE'D HAVE GOT IT IF
THE DALTONS HADN'T-A SHOWED UP.
LET'S SPLIT IT,
AND YOU BE ON YOUR WAY.
KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON.
WE'LL GET GOIN' AS SOON AS
WE FIGURE OUT WHERE TO GO.
MY PLACE NO GOOD
FOR HIDEOUT NOW.
I'M NOT GONNA HIDE OUT.
THE LAW'S NOT GONNA MAKE ME RUN
FROM HOLE TO HOLE LIKE A RAT,
AND THEY'RE NOT GONNA TRY ME
FOR ANY KILLIN' I DIDN'T DO.
PRETTY BIG JOB
FOR A WOMAN FIGHTIN'
THE LAW SINGLE-HANDED.
WHY SINGLE-HANDED?
WHY CAN'T WE
GO INTO BUSINESS
FOR OURSELVES?
[ Scoffs ]
WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS?
[ Sniffs ]
WE GOT ANY CHOICE?
[ Chuckles ]
BELLE STARR GANG.
[ Laughs ]
THAT OUGHTA RILE UP
THE BIG BOYS-- THE DALTON GANG.
[ Pete ]
WHOA! WELL, NOW, WHOA!
[ Spits ]
HEY, YOU DALTONS!
IT'S THAT DOUBLE-CROSSING
FATHEAD, PETE BIVINS.
I'LL HANDLE HIM.
WELL, NOW, IF YOU BOYS
AIN'T THE ONE. THAT'S AS SLICK
A TRICK AS I EVER DID SEE.
THAT'S THE WAY EXPERTS
DO A JOB OF WORK.
YEAH, EXPERTS.
HOW MUCH DID YOU GET?
THAT AIN'T FUNNY, PETE.
WELL, NOW, I AIN'T AIMIN'
TO BE FUNNY.
OR I AIN'T AIMIN' TO BE TALKED
OUT OF MY SHARE NEITHER.
HOW MUCH DID YA GET?
GOT SHOT OUT OF TOWN.
THAT'S WHAT WE GOT.
WELL, NOW,
THERE WAS SOME SHOOTIN'.
THAT WAS AFTER YOU TOOK THE BAR
AND THE GAMBLIN' TABLES.
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW IT,
I WAS IN THE PLACE.
I WAS STANDIN' AT THE BAR WHEN
YOU FELLAS COME RAMMIN' IN THERE
AND SCOOPED UP THE MONEY.
[ Giggles ]
THAT WAS AS SLICK A TRICK
AS I EVER DID SEE.
WHAT I'M AIMIN'
TO FIND OUT IS...
HOW MUCH DID YA GET?
ENOUGH SO YOU
GET A LITTLE. HERE.
WELL, NOW. THANKS.
WELL, NOW. THAT AIN'T
NO KING'S "HANDSOME,"
BUT AS MY PA ALWAYS SAID,
"SOMETHIN' IS BETTER
THAN NOTHIN'."
WELL, NOW, I GOTTA
BE GETTIN' BACK.
YAH!
WELL, NOW. GIDDAP!
WHAT DID YA GIVE HIM
THAT MONEY FOR?
KEEPS HIM ON OUR SIDE.
YOU TOLD BELLE WE WERE
TAKIN' THE BIRD CAGE.
I DROPPED A WORD OR TWO.
I NEVER THOUGHT--
YOU NEVER THINK!
SHE BEAT US THERE.
WE KEEP HER FROM GETTIN' STRUNG
UP. SHE DOUBLE-CROSSES US.
SHE DIDN'T DO IT.
IT WAS MAC.
SAME THING, ISN'T IT?
NO, IT AIN'T THE SAME THING!
BELLE STARR'S NO OUTLAW.
LISTEN TO THIS.
"IN THE OPINION OF MANY,
BELLE STARR AND THE DALTONS
ARE WORKING TOGETHER...
IN THE LARGEST
CRIME COMBINE ON RECORD."
BELLE STARR AND THE DALTONS
WORKING TOGETHER.
AND HERE WE SIT.
HIDIN' OUT WHILE SHE STIRS UP
A WHOLE TERRITORY AGAINST US.
WHY DON'T YOU GO
OUT AND STOP HER?
WHY DON'T YOU?
SHE'S YOUR WOMAN, AIN'T SHE?
OR IS SHE MAC'S?
MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING
I OUGHTA FIND OUT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ Man ]
MRS. WINTERS?
YES.
WE'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU.
I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR ROOM.
THANK YOU.
RIGHT THIS WAY, PLEASE.
[ Knocking ]
COME IN.
WHERE DO YOU WANT
THIS THING, BELLE?
JUST PUT IT THERE ANY PLACE.
BOY,
IS THAT SOMETHIN'.
YOU LIKE IT?
[ Chuckles ]
THE MAN WHO WOULDN'T
IS A SHEEPHERDER.
DID YOU GET FIXED UP
FOR ROOMS ALL RIGHT?
UH-HUH.
WE WENT OUT AND HAD A LOOK
AROUND THE TOWN.
LOOK BETTER AT NIGHT.
RINGO, YOU'RE NOT
ON THE RESERVATION NOW.
WATCH HOW YOU TALK.
TRY IT AGAIN.
IT LOOK BETTER AT NIGHT.
[ Chuckles ]
SHE'LL HAVE YOU SPOUTIN'
POETRY BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
RINGO, DON'T YOU DARE
SIT ON THAT DRESS!
BELLE, AREN'T YOU TAKIN'
AN AWFUL CHANCE
IN THIS THING?
WHAT IF SOMEONE
FROM RAWHIDE
SHOULD SPOT YOU?
NONSENSE.
IN THIS WIG AND GETUP, DO I LOOK
LIKE BELLE STARR FROM RAWHIDE?
NO. I GUESS YOU'RE SAFE
ENOUGH AT THAT. NEW FEATHERS
SURE DO CHANGE A WOMAN.
WHY WE-- WHY HAVE WE
GOT TO WEAR MONKEY SUIT?
YOU BUTTON THAT COLLAR
AND TIE THAT TIE.
YOU HAVE TO WEAR THESE SO WE CAN
GO INTO THE BIRD CAGE WITHOUT
ANYONE GETTING SUSPICIOUS.
YOU TWO GET OUT OF HERE,
BECAUSE I'M GONNA GET
INTO SOMETHING...
THAT'LL MAKE TOM BRADFIELD
SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE.
[ Chuckles ]
COME ON.
I DON'T LIKE THESE
MONKEY SUITS EITHER, RINGO.
YOU BELIVE BELLE STARR'S
WORKING WITH THE DALTONS?
PROBABLY WORKING
AGAINST THEM.
DALTONS ARE TOO SMART
TO TIE UP WITH A WOMAN.
[ Wolf Whistles ]
HOW DO YOU DO, MA'AM?
HOW DO YOU DO? YOU MUST
BE MR. TOM BRADFIELD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
MY NAME IS LUCY WINTERS.
MY PLEASURE, MISS WINTERS.
MRS.
OH.
WE'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU IN MONTANA.
MONTANA?
YES, I COME FROM THERE.
MY HUSBAND AND I HAD
A SMALL PLACE IN BUTTE.
I TRIED TO RUN IT MYSELF AFTER
RICHARD DIED, BUT IT WAS JUST
TOO MUCH FOR A WOMAN.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
SO I SOLD THE BUSINESS
AND CAME OUT HERE.
MY, YOU REALLY
HAVE A NICE PLACE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOOK AROUND?
YES, I'D LOVE TO.
GOOD.
DO YOU PERMIT WOMEN
TO GAMBLE HERE,
MR. BRADFIELD?
ANYBODY WITH A DOLLAR
CAN GAMBLE HERE,
MRS. WINTERS.
WELL, I HAVE A DOLLAR.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE GAME?
BLACKJACK.
IF YOU'D LIKE,
I'LL TAKE YOUR DOLLAR.
ALL RIGHT.
GET ME A FRESH DECK, JOE.
HERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'LL IT BE, GENTS?
RYE.
LET'S START WITH 50.
THERE YA ARE,
MRS. WINTERS.
FIFTY DOLLARS' WORTH.
YOU MUST FEEL LUCKY.
I DO.
HOW... DOES IT STAND NOW?
BRADFIELD JUST BROKE 21
3 TIMES STRAIGHT
FOR 500 A THROW.
SHE'S LETTIN' IT RIDE.
LUCK LIKE THAT
NOT HOLD.
ALL RIGHT, PAIN-IN-THE-FACE.
WAIT TILL IT BREAKS BEFORE YOU
START THE DEATH CHANT, WILL YA?
I'LL STAND.
WELL, I NEED HELP.
THAT SETTLES THAT.
MY COMPLIMENTS, MRS. WINTERS.
YOU'VE WON $25,000 IN LITTLE
LESS THAN AN HOUR.
I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH
FOR ONE AFTERNOON.
DRINKS ARE ON THE HOUSE,
GENTLEMEN. GO AHEAD
AND COLLECT 'EM.
MIND IF
I CALL YOU MONTANA?
AFTER ALL, MRS. WINTERS
SOUNDS RATHER FORMAL.
CALLING A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
BY A NAME THAT PARTICULARLY
SUITS HER...
ISN'T VERY MUCH TO ASK
FOR 25,000, IS IT?
NO, IT ISN'T.
PLEASE DO
CALL ME MONTANA.
THERE WAS A LOT OF LUCK
CONNECTED WITH WINNING
THAT 25,000.
YES, AND THERE WAS
A LOT OF KNOWING WHEN
NOT TO CROWD YOUR HAND.
MAYBE YOU'D BETTER
HIRE ME TO DEAL BLACKJACK
FOR YOU.
I HAVE A BETTER PROPOSITION
THAN THAT. HOW WOULD YOU
LIKE TO BE A PARTNER?
HALF INTEREST
FOR YOUR 25,000.
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
I AM.
YOU CAN BE
A LOT OF USE TO ME.
WELL, THAT'S LIFE FOR YOU.
I CAME IN HERE TO ASK YOU
FOR A JOB.
I USED TO SING IN OUR PLACE.
BUY A HALF INTEREST
AND HIRE YOURSELF
AS A SINGER.
IT'S A DEAL.
GOOD. THEN WE MIGHT AS WELL
ANNOUNCE IT RIGHT NOW.
GENTLEMEN,
YOUR ATTENTION A MOMENT.
I'D LIKE TO PRESENT
MY NEW PARTNER AND HALF OWNER
OF THE BIRD CAGE,
LUCY WINTERS OF MONTANA.
NOW, MONTANA OF THE BIRD CAGE.
GOOD FOR YOU, TOM.
GOOD LUCK, MONTANA!
HOW 'BOUT ANOTHER ON THE HOUSE?
OH, GENTLEMEN, THIS TIME
THE DRINKS ARE ON ME.
OH!
THAT'S A PLEASURE.
MAY I TAKE YOU TO THE HOTEL?
OH, NO. YOU'RE BUSY HERE.
I'LL SEE YOU ABOUT 8:00.
YOU MUST BE PLUMB LOCO TO TAKE
HALF INTEREST IN THAT DUMP
'STEAD OF THE 25,000.
KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON, MAC.
THE 25,000 IS
STILL IN THE SAFE.
THERE'S PLENTY MORE WITH IT.
LOOKS LIKE IT'S GONNA STAY
RIGHT THERE.
I DON'T SAVVY.
WHAT DON'T YOU SAVVY, RINGO?
WHAT WE GET
OUT OF HALF INTEREST.
FOR ONE THING, WE GET
THE SWEETEST LITTLE HIDEOUT
ON RECORD.
[ Mac ]
HIDEOUT?
THAT'S WHAT I SAID. HIDEOUT.
WHO'S GONNA FIGURE THAT
TOM BRADFIELD'S BLOND PARTNER
AND THE TWO NEW MEN...
ARE THE BELLE STARR GANG?
WHAT NEW MEN?
YOU AND MAC, OF COURSE.
YOU ARE LOCO.
SHE'S NOT, I AM.
YOU WORKED FOR ME IN MONTANA.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE WITH ME NOW.
AS HALF OWNER, I PUT YOU
TO WORK FOR ME. YOU AS A DEALER,
AND YOU AS A LOOKOUT.
FROM NOW ON,
WE OPERATE FROM THE BIRD CAGE.
MAYBE SHE NOT LOCO.

[ Applause, Cheering ]
AIN'T NOBODY
LIKE THAT MONTANA.
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, BOYS.
LET MONTANA HEAR THE CLICK
OF THOSE CHIPS.
WELL?
THAT WAS RIGHT NICE SINGIN'.
THANKS, STRANGER.
SUPPOSE WE SIT DOWN OVER HERE.
YOU CAN TELL ME ABOUT IT.
WELL, YOU SURE LOOK
LIKE THAT GILDED LILY
YOU WERE SINGIN' ABOUT.
- WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- SHH!
IF'N A MAN WAS TO TELL YOU
WHERE BOB DALTON WAS--
I'M BUSY NOW, PETE.
SEE ME LATER.
LATER MIGHT BE TOO LATE.
WHERE IS HE?
WELL, NOW, FOR $1,000--
500.
WELL, 500--
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
WHERE IS HE?
RIGHT OUT THERE
GABBIN' WITH MONTANY.
ARE YOU SURE?
I'M SO SURE,
I'M CERTAIN.
I'LL GO OUT THIS WAY.
ALL I WANT TO DO
IS MEET MR. BRADFIELD.
WHY, IT WOULD BE DOWNRIGHT
BAD MANNERS IF I PULLED OUT
NOW, WITHOUT SAYIN' HOWDY.
I KNOW WHAT YOU WANT
TO DO TO HIM.
THEN LET ME GET IT DONE.
WHERE IS BRADFIELD?
I'M BRADFIELD.
SO YOU'RE TOM BRADFIELD, EH?
YES.
IT'S THE RULE OF THE HOUSE
TO CHECK GUNS
WITH THE BARTENDER.
I NEVER OBEY RULES.
I'LL HAVE TO ASK YOU
TO LEAVE.
MAYBE I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE.
THE JAIL'S
RIGHT NEXT DOOR.
I DON'T LIKE JAILS.
I'LL LEAVE. WHY DON'T
YOU SHOW ME TO THE DOOR.
THAT'LL BE MY PLEASURE.
EVER MEET A MAN YOU COULDN'T
COTTON TO? A MAN YOU'D LIKE
TO WHIP TILL HE CAN'T STAND UP?
FREQUENTLY. WHY?
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE
THAT, MR. BRADFIELD.
[ Gunshots ]
MR. BRADFIELD
ISN'T ARMED, STRANGER.
LET'S KEEP THIS FIGHT EVEN.
ALL RIGHT, MR. BRADFIELD.
YOUR LADY FRIEND
CALLED THE TURN.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE HAVING
QUITE A PARTY, TOM.
WHO IS THIS FELLA?
HE'S BOB DALTON.
BY JINGO, IT IS BOB DALTON!
THANKS, LADY, FOR EVERYTHING.
I'LL TRY AND DO THE SAME
FOR YOU SOMETIME.
LOCK HIM UP!
I'LL TAKE THAT.
THAT WAS PRETTY FANCY
SHOOTING, MONTANA. THANKS.
IT WAS NOTHING, TOM. I--
IF I HAD KNOWN
HE WAS BOB DALTON,
I'D HAVE FOLDED UP.
NOW, NOW.
THAT'S NO WAY TO BEHAVE.
YOU WANT THESE?
GIVE 'EM TO MONTANA
AS SOUVENIRS.
PUT THEM IN MY DRESSING ROOM.
YOU'RE IN NO CONDITION
TO WORK TONIGHT. LET ME
TAKE YOU TO THE HOTEL.
NO, TOM. I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST CHANGE MY CLOTHES
AND RUN ALONG. THANKS.
'KAY.
FIND MAC AND BRING HIM
TO THE HOTEL.
HE'S MUCH
TOO NICE TO KILL.
HEY! TAKE IT EASY, WILL YA?
HOLD STILL.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA DIE.
YOU'VE GOT A JOB
TO DO TONIGHT.
WE TAKIN' THE BIRD CAGE?
NO. WE'RE GETTING
BOB DALTON OUT OF JAIL.
OH, WE ARE, ARE WE?
YES, WE ARE.
THE DALTONS OWE US A GRUDGE,
AND THE DALTONS PAY OFF.
BOB TOLD ME SO
WHEN I SHOT HIS GUNS AWAY.
I WANT HIM OUT OF JAIL
BEFORE HE TALKS.
AND AFTER HE'S OUT OF JAIL?
YOU AND RINGO CAN HAVE HIM.
HE WON'T TALK.
[ Sighs ]
HOW WE GONNA CRACK
THE JAIL?
I'LL TELL YOU THAT LATER.
RINGO, YOU GO AND GET JIM.
BRING HIM BACK HERE, AND THEN
YOU AND MAC CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
SHOWDOWN, BELLE.
IT'S TIME YOU AND ME
HAD ONE. SIT DOWN.
WHAT ABOUT?
ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.
NAME A FEW.
ABOUT COMIN' BACK HERE
TO TAKE THE BIRD CAGE,
FOR ONE THING.
WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR
THREE WEEKS, AND WHAT'S
HAPPENED? NOTHIN'.
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW WONDERFUL
IT WAS TO HAVE NICE CLOTHES,
CLEAN SHEETS ON THE BED,
MORE HOT WATER
THAN YOU CAN USE.
IF YOU'RE ON THE LEVEL,
WHY DON'T WE TAKE THE BIRD CAGE
NOW AND GET OUT OF HERE?
BECAUSE I'M NOT READY TO,
AND WHEN I AM,
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
I'M STILL DOING THE THINKING
FOR THIS OUTFIT.
ALL RIGHT, BUT LET'S GET
ONE THING STRAIGHT.
I SEE YOU GOIN' SOFT
ON TOM BRADFIELD,
AND I'LL BURN YOU BOTH DOWN.
WITH LEAD. AND I'LL GET HIM
FIRST, SO YOU CAN SEE
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
YOU'RE MAKING AN AWFUL FUSS
OVER ONE LITTLE KISS.
YOU'RE OLD ENOUGH
TO KNOW THAT THAT'S THE WAY
A SMART WOMAN WORKS.
NOW, GO ON. GET OUTTA HERE.
WHERE ARE
YOUR BROTHERS?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S TEN TIMES YOU'VE ASKED
ME THAT QUESTION AND TEN TIMES
I TOLD YOU I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S THE ONLY ANSWER
YOU'RE GONNA GET.
YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT MAKE
YOURSELF A GOOD DEAL IF YOU DID
TELL US WHERE THEY ARE.
I DON'T MAKE DEALS.
WHERE'S BELLE STARR?
SHE'S--
SHE'S WITH MY BROTHERS,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE.
LOCK HIM UP!
AND DON'T TAKE
YOUR EYES OFF HIM.
WHEREVER THOSE DALTON BROTHERS
ARE, THEY'LL BE COMING
AFTER HIM, AND I WANT THEM TO.
YOU WANT THEM TO?
CERTAINLY. THEN WE GET
THE WHOLE DALTON GANG.
GOOD IDEA.
HEY!
HEY, YOU FELLAS!
IF YOU GOT ANY FIRE
EQUIPMENT, YOU BETTER
GET IT TO ROLLIN'.
MILLER'S BARN'S
GOT ITSELF ON FIRE.
- [ Bell Clanging ]
- HEY! GET OUT THERE, FOLKS!
MILLER'S BARN'S ABOUT TO BURN.
BUCKET BRIGADE!
BUCKET BRIGADE! FALL IN.
THERE'S A BARN BURNING.
COME ON!
COME ON.
[ Clanging Continues ]
[ Bell Ringing ]
STAY HERE WITH ME.
I'M NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES
WITH BOB DALTON.
ALL CLEAR.
DON'T DRAW.
KEYS.
OVER THERE.
[ Keys Clatter In Lock ]
INSIDE.
YAH!
HELP, SOMEBODY!
COME IN HERE!
OPEN THIS DOOR!
FINE DEPUTY
YOU TURNED OUT TO BE.
SITTIN' THERE
READIN' A NEWSPAPER.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
I DON'T GET YOU, BELLE.
KNOCKIN' MY GUNS OFF
THAT WAY.
IF YOU'D-A SHOT
TOM BRADFIELD, THEY'D HAVE
STRUNG YOU UP RIGHT THERE.
NOW YOU FIGURE I OUGHTA
BE GRATEFUL TO YOU, HUH?
WE'RE SQUARE.
YOU GOT ME AWAY FROM THE LAW.
I DID THE SAME FOR YOU.
THE SLATE'S CLEAN.
THAT'S A CUTE WAY OF FIGURIN'
AFTER CROSSING US UP...
ON THE BIRD CAGE JOB,
NEARLY GETTING US
ALL KILLED.
YOU GOT A CUTE WAY
OF FIGURIN' TOO, SENDING
THAT POSSE OUT TO RINGO'S.
POSSE? WHAT ARE YOU
TALKIN' ABOUT, POSSE?
I WENT BACK TO RINGO'S
TO GET YOU, LIKE I PROMISED.
THE PLACE WAS BURNED DOWN.
NOTHING BUT ASHES.
WHO DO YOU THINK BURNED IT DOWN?
ME?
I'M TELLING YOU WE DIDN'T
SEND A POSSE UP THERE.
WE DALTONS WOULDN'T SEND
A POSSE AFTER ANYBODY.
THEN HOW DID THEY FIND US
ONE DAY AFTER YOU LEFT?
ANYBODY DO ANY HUNTIN'?
SHOOTIN'?
THAT WAS IT.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN.
MAC AND I DID SOME
TARGET SHOOTING.
SOMEBODY MUST HAVE HEARD US.
NO USE TALKIN', TOM.
I'M GETTIN' OLD.
IT'S QUITE AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
FOR A MAN TO GROW OLD...
IN THIS COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY
WITH THE DALTONS AROUND.
THEY GOT A LOT OF NERVE,
PULLING A THING LIKE THAT.
IF THEY DID IT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "IF"?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW.
WELL, NOW. I THINK
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER.
[ Giggles ]
HOW LONG DO I STAY
HOLED UP HERE?
WHEN THE EXCITEMENT DIES DOWN,
MAC AND RINGO WILL COME BACK
AND RIDE YOU OUT OF TOWN.
HMM. THAT OUGHTA
BE QUITE A RIDE FOR ME.
[ Knocking ]
WHO IS IT?
TOM BRADFIELD.
JUST A MINUTE.
COME IN, TOM.
HELLO, MONTANA.
I, UH-- I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT
ALL THAT COMMOTION DOWN THERE.
YES. I WAS ASLEEP.
IT WOKE ME UP. WHAT
WAS IT ALL ABOUT?
BOB DALTON GOT AWAY.
NO.
SEEMS HIS BROTHERS RESCUED HIM.
THEY SET FIRE TO THE LIVERY
STABLE TO DRAW OFF THE CROWD,
AND THEN THEY
STUCK UP THE JAIL.
THERE'S JUST NO LIMIT TO
WHAT THOSE DALTONS'LL DO.
WILL YOU SIT DOWN?
NO. NO, THANKS. I WON'T
WAIT. I, UH-- I'M AFRAID
IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE.
NOT SAFE?
DIDN'T ANYONE
EVER TELL YOU YOU'RE
A VERY DANGEROUS WOMAN?
[ Chuckles ]
IS THAT SUPPOSED
TO BE A COMPLIMENT?
IT ISN'T EVERY WOMAN THAT
CAN HIDE HER CROWNING GLORY
AND STILL REMAIN BEAUTIFUL.
[ Chuckles ]
THEM'S MIGHTY PRETTY WORDS.
I HAVE A PROPOSITION FOR YOU.
PROPOSITION?
HOW ABOUT A RIDE IN THE COUNTRY?
NICE OUT THERE NOW.
INDIAN SUMMER.
WE'LL TAKE A BASKET AND HAVE
A GOOD, OLD-FASHIONED PICNIC.
PROPOSITION ACCEPTED.
MAKE IT SOON.
WE WILL.
GOOD NIGHT, MONTANA.
GOOD NIGHT, TOM.
THAT SMOOTH-TALKIN' DUDE.
SOMEDAY, I'LL
KNOCK HIS HEAD OFF.
YOU TRIED THAT TONIGHT.
YOU CAN'T
GO FOR HIM, BELLE.
WHAT ABOUT THAT PROMISE
TO GO TO CALIFORNIA WITH ME?
NO, BOB. I'M STAYING HERE.
WHAT? YOU'RE SITTING
ON DYNAMITE. SOMEBODY'LL
SPOT YOU, SURE.
I'M SORRY. I'VE GOT
SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS
IN GUTHRIE.
YOU THINK TOM BRADFIELD
WILL STICK TO YOU WHEN HE
FINDS OUT YOU'RE BELLE STARR?
TOM BRADFIELD MEANS NOTHING
TO ME. WHEN I FINISH MY BUSINESS
HERE, I'M LEAVING WITHOUT HIM.
COME WITH ME, BELLE.
I'LL GET YOU EVERYTHING
YOU WANT.
JUST THINK. CALIFORNIA.
LOADED WITH SOFT TOUCHES
JUST WAITIN' FOR US.
COME ON, DALTON. WE
GOT YOUR HORSE DOWN BELOW.
WE HAD THE DALTONS ALL WRONG.
THEY DIDN'T SEND THAT POSSE
OUT TO RINGO'S.
THAT WHAT HE TOLD YOU?
NO. IT'S TRUE.
SOMEONE MUST'VE HEARD US
TARGET SHOOTING THAT DAY.
I WAS AFRAID OF THAT.
I WANT YOU BOYS TO SEE
THAT HE GETS OUT OF TOWN.
WE'LL SEE TO THAT.
AND SAFE. IF ANYTHING
HAPPENS TO HIM, YOU'D
BETTER NOT COME BACK HERE.
HE'LL BE SAFE... THIS TIME.
COME ON, ROMEO.
WAIT.
THANKS. IF YOU EVER NEED ME,
GET IN TOUCH WITH YELLOW DEER'S
PLACE NEAR THE PAWNEE NATION.
HIYA, TOM.
HELLO, TOM.
GOOD TO SEE YA, MATT.
I WAS JUST GOING TO TELL
MR. RIDEOUT ABOUT YOUR SCHEME
FOR TRAPPING THE DALTONS.
BUT IT SHOULD
COME FROM YOU. GO AHEAD.
WELL, YOU SEE, JEPTHA,
HERETOFORE,
ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY HAS BEEN PAID OUT...
THROUGH HALF A DOZEN BANKS
FOR GOVERNMENT BEEF CONTRACTS.
-YES, I KNOW.
-NOW, IT'S MY IDEA, IF WE CAN
GET ALL THAT MONEY IN ONE BANK,
IT'S JUST THE PRIZE THE DALTONS
WOULD BE CERTAIN TO GO AFTER.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A CHANCE TO FIND OUT. I FINALLY
GOT THROUGH ALL THE RED TAPE.
MONEY WILL BE DELIVERED
TO MR. RIDEOUT'S BANK HERE
TUESDAY THE 11th.
- YOU GUARANTEE THE INFORMATION
WILL GET TO THE DALTONS?
- ABSOLUTELY.
I'M NERVOUS.
A MILLION DOLLARS
IN MY BANK--
FULLY COVERED BY
THE BANKERS' PROTECTIVE.
BUT IF THE DALTONS
DO COME TO GET IT,
THERE'LL BE SHOOTING.
PROBABLY WILL BE,
BUT THAT'S NO REASON THAT
YOU SHOULD GET HURT.
WELL, I CERTAINLY
HOPE NOT. WELL, WHAT
DO I DO NEXT?
TELL THE WORLD ABOUT IT.
MAKE A BIG SPREAD IN EVERY
NEWSPAPER IN THE TERRITORIES.
START PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE IT THE BIGGEST
DAY IN GUTHRIE'S HISTORY.
AND WE WILL.
COME ON OVER, MATT.
I WANNA TALK TO YOU.
SO LONG.
SO LONG.
A MILLION DOLLARS.
WHOO!
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT WAS SOMETHING
YOU JUST TALK ABOUT.
NOW AREN'T YOU GLAD
WE STAYED IN GUTHRIE?
DO WE TAKE IT?
YOU BET WE DO.
BUT WE'LL NEED HELP.
WHO YOU GOT IN MIND?
THE DALTONS.
WHY THEM?
BECAUSE WE OWE THEM SOMETHING
FROM THE BIRD CAGE JOB.
WHERE DO WE FIND THEM?
BOB TOLD ME TO CONTACT
YELLOW DEER NEAR PAWNEE NATION.
I KNOW YELLOW DEER.
GOOD.
YOU TWO GO AND SEE IF
THE DALTONS ARE INTERESTED.
IF THEY ARE,
STAY WITH THEM UNTIL
THE NIGHT OF THE TENTH.
I'LL HAVE THE LAYOUT BY THEN,
AND WE'LL OPERATE
FROM JIM'S PLACE.
YOU MUSTN'T DO THAT.
WHY? DIDN'T
YOU WANT ME TO?
OH, IT'S NOT THAT.
IT'S JUST--
JUST WHAT, DARLING?
IT'S NOT GOOD
FOR EITHER ONE OF US.
WHY?
[ Sighs ]
DON'T ASK ME WHY.
DO IT AGAIN.
TOM?
YES?
LAST NIGHT,
WHEN YOU WERE TALKING
TO MARSHAL RIPPLE,
I HEARD YOU SAY
THAT SOON WE'D ALL
BE OUT OF DATE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE DALTONS.
JUST WHAT DID YOU MEAN?
JUST THAT THE TERRITORY
IS GROWING UP.
YOU SEE, IN A NEW COUNTRY,
EVERYONE GETS THE FEELING
THAT ANYTHING GOES,
AND THAT BRINGS ON A WAVE
OF LAWLESSNESS SUCH AS
WE HAVE IN OKLAHOMA TODAY.
BUT THAT SORT OF THING
IS GOING OUT, AND SO ARE WE.
WHY "WE"?
BECAUSE WE'RE
PROFESSIONAL GAMBLERS, DARLING.
HONEST, YES,
BUT ALL PART OF THE ERA.
WE'RE GETTING
OUT OF DATE TOO.
WELL, SUPPOSE--
SUPPOSE WHAT?
NOTHING.
THERE WAS SOMETHING
YOU WANTED TO SAY TO ME,
WASN'T THERE?
WELL, IT'S JUST THAT I--
IT'S REALLY NOTHING.
DARLING, IF YOU EVER DO
WANNA SAY ANYTHING TO ME,
YOU WON'T BE AFRAID
TO COME TO ME, WILL YOU?
NO, TOM.
YOU'RE THE ONE MAN
I'LL NEVER BE AFRAID OF.
DON'T YOU THINK WE'D BETTER
BE GETTING HOME, DARLING?
IT'S GETTING LATE.
[ Tom ]
WELL, THE HORSE IS GOING
JUST AS FAST AS HE CAN.
BELLE SAYS TO MEET
AT JIM'S PLACE THE NIGHT
OF THE TENTH.
BELLE SAYS THAT--
"BELLE SAYS."
WHAT IS THIS "BELLE SAYS"?
IS SHE RAMRODDING THIS OUTFIT?
SHE'S RAMRODDING THIS JOB.
DO WE KNOW WE CAN TRUST HER?
SHE CROSSED US ON THE BIRD CAGE
JOB, DIDN'T SHE?
I TOLD YOU HOW THAT PLAY
CAME UP. NOW, SHUT UP.
DON'T TELL ME TO SHUT UP.
IF EMMETT DALTON WINDS UP
IN A GUTHRIE STREET WITH A BELLY
FULL OF .45s, THAT'LL BE ME.
I WANNA KNOW
WHAT I'M GETTIN' INTO.
AND I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YA.
YOU DON'T
LIKE THE SETUP,
JUST SAY SO.
EMMETT'S TALKIN'
THROUGH HIS HAT.
I LIKE IT.
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, EMMETT.
ALL RIGHT. COUNT ME IN.
BUT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG,
DON'T BLAME ME.
HAPPY?
COURSE I AM.
WHAT WOMAN WOULDN'T BE
WITH YOU, TOM? THIS HAS BEEN
THE HAPPIEST WEEK OF MY LIFE.
AND YOU'RE
A DIFFERENT PERSON.
DIFFERENT? IN WHAT WAY?
WELL, YOU ALWAYS
SEEMED TO BE GUARDING
AGAINST SOMETHING.
THAT TENSENESS
IS GONE NOW. YOU'RE
MORE LIGHTHEARTED...
AND QUICK TO LAUGH
AND, WELL, JUST A LOT
OF FUN TO BE WITH.
I HOPE YOU ALWAYS
REMEMBER ME THAT WAY.
REMEMBER YOU?
WHY, I'LL NEVER LET YOU
GET FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM ME
TO HAVE TO REMEMBER.
YOU'LL ALWAYS
BE RIGHT HERE.
YOU'RE MY PARTNER,
AREN'T YOU?
YES. I'M YOUR PARTNER.
LET'S DRINK
TO THAT PARTNERSHIP--
A PARTNERSHIP WITHOUT DECEPTION,
SO IT CAN ENDURE
AND BRING HAPPINESS...
AND PRIDE
TO BOTH OF US.
DRINK.
TOM, YOU'LL HAVE TO
EXCUSE ME NOW. I MUST CHANGE,
OR I'LL BE LATE FOR MY NUMBER.

ANYTHING WRONG?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
TOM, THERE'S SOMETHING
I'VE GOTTA TELL YOU,
AND I DON'T KNOW ANY WAY
TO SAY IT EXCEPT
STRAIGHT OUT.
I'M BELLE STARR.
I'M GLAD YOU TOLD ME.
THAT'S THE ONE THING
I'VE BEEN WAITING
TO HEAR.
YOU KNEW IT?
YES.
EVER SINCE THE DAY
I PLAYED BLACKJACK WITH YOU.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
TURN ME OVER TO THE LAW?
WELL, BECAUSE I KNEW...
THAT SOONER OR LATER,
BELLE STARR WOULD LEAD ME
TO THE DALTONS.
OH. SO THAT WAS IT.
WELL, THAT'S THE WAY
IT STARTED. BUT THINGS
HAVE CHANGED... A LOT.
YOU SEE,
I HAPPEN TO LOVE YOU.
DO YOU, TOM?
DO YOU REALLY?
MORE THAN I THOUGHT POSSIBLE.
THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
OH, TOM.
WHY COULDN'T IT
HAVE HAPPENED SOONER?
BUT IT ISN'T TOO LATE...
IF YOU DON'T RIDE IN
WITH THE DALTONS TOMORROW.
YOU KNEW THAT TOO.
I'VE BEEN CERTAIN
EVER SINCE MAC AND RINGO
TURNED UP MISSING.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
YOU'RE GOING TO MEXICO...
TONIGHT.
AND I'M GOING TO JOIN YOU
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
MEXICO?
I CAN'T KEEP RUNNING AWAY
FROM THE LAW FOREVER.
NO, AND YOU WON'T.
IN A YEAR OR TWO,
I'M COMING BACK FROM MEXICO
WITH MY WIFE.
I'M GOING TO SAY
TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES,
"THIS IS MRS. BRADFIELD.
"SHE USED
TO BE BELLE STARR.
SHE HAS A DEBT TO PAY,
AND LET HER PAY IT."
AND WHEN THAT DEBT IS PAID,
I'M GOING TO TRY TO MAKE LIFE
WHAT IT OUGHT TO BE FOR YOU.
WHEN THAT DAY COMES,
LET ME KNOW.
I'LL PAY OFF.
I KNEW THAT. NOW,
YOU HURRY AND PACK, AND I'LL
ARRANGE SOME TRANSPORTATION.
I WANT TO GET YOU
OUT OF HERE TONIGHT.
FIGURING ON TAKING
THAT TRUNK WITH YOU?
MAC.
YOU TOLD ME TO COME AND GET
YOU THE NIGHT OF THE TENTH.
THIS IS THE TENTH.
YES. I FORGOT.
FORGOT?
DID YOU FORGET WE'RE
TAKING A MILLION DOLLARS
OUT OF THE BANK TOMORROW?
MAC, I'M OUT OF THAT DEAL.
YOU TELL THE OTHERS
TO GIVE IT UP TOO.
GIVE IT UP?
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU? LOST YOUR NERVE?
YES. YES, THAT'S IT.
I'VE LOST MY NERVE.
WELL, IF YOU HAVE,
I'VE LOST MY RIGHT LEG.
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
HERE. WHAT IS IT, BELLE?
IT'S NOTHING.
IT'S JUST THAT
IT'S TOO GREAT A RISK.
WE'D NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT.
YOU TELL THE BOYS
NOT TO COME TO TOWN TOMORROW.
[ Pete ]
WHOA. WELL, NOW. WHOA.
[ Pete ] YOU WANT ME
TO GIVE YOU A HAND
WITH MONTANY'S TRUNK?
[ Tom ]
YES.
SO THAT'S IT, HUH?
TOM BRADFIELD FINALLY
GOT TO YOU.
WELL, YOU WON'T
HAVE HIM LONG, BECAUSE WHEN
HE COMES THROUGH THAT DOOR,
I'M GONNA DRILL HIM...
DEAD CENTER.
MAC, PLEASE.
GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO BE HAPPY.
YOU LOVE HIM,
DON'T YOU?
YES. I LOVE HIM.
WOMEN ARE FUNNY. YOU STAND HERE
TELLING ME YOU LOVE BRADFIELD,
ASKING ME NOT TO PLUG HIM.
YOU KNOW I'D SHOOT TEN MEN
TO GET YOU.
YEP. YOU'RE FUNNY PEOPLE.
[ Pete Talking,
Indistinct ]
MAC, PLEASE.
[ Knocking ]
JUST A MINUTE.
GOOD-BYE, MY LOVE.
GOOD-BYE, TOM.
YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING? MONEY AND
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REACH ME?
MM-HMM.
BE A GOOD GIRL.
I'LL BE THE BEST GIRL
YOU EVER KNEW.
[ Coughs ]
ALL RIGHT, PETE.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
SHE'LL GET NOTHIN'
BUT THE BEST. HYAH!
[ Mac ]
HOLD IT, PETE.
[ Pete ] WHOA. WELL, NOW. WHOA.
HATE TO BOTHER YOU,
BUT THERE'S SOME FOLKS
OVER AT JIM CLARK'S PLACE...
IN ABSAROKA WANNA
SEE THIS YOUNG LADY.
[ Spits ]
BUT I AIN'T GOIN' TO ABSAROKA.
YES, YOU ARE.
DO AS HE SAYS, PETE.
IF YOU SAY SO. BUT THERE'S GONNA
BE TROUBLE WHEN WE GET THERE.
NOT IF YOU'VE GOT A BRAIN
IN THAT FOOL HEAD OF YOURS,
THERE WON'T.
- THIS WAY.
- [ Pete ]
HYAH.
[ Blows ]
I WAS BEGINNING TO
FIGURE SHE'D LOST HER NERVE,
WHEN UP DRIVES BRADFIELD
IN PETE'S RIG.
-I GOT THE WHOLE PLAY THEN.
-YOU'RE ALL TANGLED UP. SHE
GOT ME OUT OF JAIL, DIDN'T SHE?
SURE, SHE DID.
SHE HAD TO. IF YOU'D-A TOLD
THOSE SUCKERS IN GUTHRIE...
SHE IS BELLE STARR, THEY'D-A
STRETCHED THAT PRETTY NECK.
WELL, NOW.
BELLE STARR!
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO
WITH THIS JOB?
MAC JUST TOLD YA.
SHE WANTS TO PLAY DANDY
WITH TOM BRADFIELD, SO SHE DON'T
WANT NO TROUBLE IN GUTHRIE.
IT'S A DOUBLE-CROSS THAT
EVEN YOU COULD SEE IF SKIRTS
WEREN'T BLOWIN' IN YOUR EYES.
I'LL STRING ALONG WI EMMTHT ON
THAT. WE'VE BEEN SPOUTING OFF
ABOUT A MILLION-DOLLAR HAUL.
LET'S GET IN AND MAKE IT.
WHAT ABOUT BELLE?
SHE RIDES WITH US
OR SHE STAYS RIGHT HERE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "RIGHT HERE"?
I MEAN IN A HOLE
RIGHT UNDER THIS FLOOR.
YOU KNOW I WON'T
HOLD STILL FOR THAT.
OH, YES, YOU WILL.
I AIN'T TAKING ANY CHANCES
WITH THIS WOMAN. IF SHE'S RIDING
WITH US, WE CAN WATCH HER.
IF SHE AIN'T RIDIN' WITH US,
SHE STAYS HERE.
- LET'S HEAR FROM BELLE.
- I'LL RIDE WITH YOU
ON ONE CONDITION:
I WANT BOB'S WORD THAT HE'LL
LEAVE TOM BRADFIELD ALONE.
ALL RIGHT, BELLE,
IF YOU WANT IT THAT WAY.
WELL, LET'S QUIT
ALL THIS HORSING AROUND
AND GET SOME PLANS MADE.
YOU GET THE LAYOUT
OF THAT BANK?
YES.
JIM, GET ME A PAPER AND PENCIL.
ONE OF YA DRAG MY TRUNK
OFF PETE'S WAGON.
I'LL NEED SOME WORK CLOTHES.
WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO
EXPECT THE DALTONS BEFORE 11:00.
WARN THE CITIZENS
TO KEEP OFF THE STREETS
AND AVOID PANIC.
YOU, STEWART,
TAKE OVER THE TELLER'S CAGE.
RIDEOUT AND HIS CLERKS
WILL KEEP OUT OF THE WAY.
AND REMEMBER THIS, MEN:
IF YOU SEE ANY OF THE DALTONS
RIDING INTO TOWN,
LET 'EM ALONE.
WE WANT 'EM
TO GET INTO THAT BANK
AND GET THAT MONEY.
THAT'S EVIDENCE.
WE'LL GET IT WHEN
THEY GET OUT.
YOU WANNA ADD ANYTHING, RIPPLE?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE DONE THINGS
UP BROWN, TOM.
MATT?
NOT A THING.
ALL RIGHT, MEN. LET'S
GET YOUR LEGS MOVING.
DRINK?
TOO EARLY.
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE REALLY GONNA
MAKE IT STICK THIS TIME--
IF THE DALTONS COME TO TOWN.
THEY'LL COME.
YOU SEEM MIGHTY CONFIDENT.
I COULDN'T BE MORE CONFIDENT
IF THE DALTONS TOLD ME
THEMSELVES.
IN THAT CASE, IT LOOKS LIKE
I'LL BE PAYING YOU $90,000
BEFORE THE DAY IS OUT.
- WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO WITH IT?
- WELL,
I'M GONNA SHOOT PART OF IT
ON THE "RIP-ROARINGEST" MEXICAN
HONEYMOON YOU EVER HEARD OF.
MEXICAN HONEYMOON.
THAT CHARMING PARTNER
OF YOURS, I'LL BET.
THAT'S RIGHT. BELLE AND I
ARE TREMENDOUSLY IN LOVE,
AND EVENTUALLY,
WE SHOULD BE TREMENDOUSLY HAPPY.
BELLE? I THOUGHT HER NAME
WAS MONTANA.
OH, THAT'S ONLY HER NICKNAME.
HER REAL NAME IS BELLE STARR.
BELLE--
BELLE STARR?
APPARENTLY
YOU'VE HEARD OF HER.
SEE HERE, TOM.
THIS IS NO TIME TO JEST.
I'M NOT JESTING.
MY PARTNER
AND THE WOMAN I LOVE
IS BELLE STARR.
WAIT A MINUTE.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HERE.
WHERE IS SHE NOW?
MEXICO. OR SHOULD BE
IN A FEW HOURS.
BUT SHE'S AN OUTLAW,
AS MUCH AN OUTLAW AS ANY
OF THE DALTONS.
SHE'S A CRIMINAL
WITH A PRICE ON HER HEAD.
IF THE LAW--
I KNOW. IF THE LAW GOT HER,
THEY'D PUT HER AWAY FOR LIFE.
THEY CERTAINLY WOULD.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
NO. WE HAVEN'T HAD TIME.
A COUPLE OF THINGS
I'VE GOT TO THINK OVER
HERE. BELLE STARR.
OH, HELLO, STEWART.
MY SAFE IS OPEN ALREADY.
I'LL TAKE IT NOW, MR. RIDEOUT.
YOU GO OVER
TO THE COURTHOUSE AND WAIT.
YES, SIR.
THERE SURE
AIN'T MUCH STIRRIN'.
EVERYBODY'S
PROBABLY GOT A HANGOVER
FROM LAST NIGHT'S DOINGS.
IT JUST AIN'T NATURAL.
REMEMBER? I TOLD YOU
NOT TO COME.
YEAH. WE REMEMBER.
FILL 'EM UP... FULL.
WELL, IT MUST
BE ABOUT TIME, TOM. YOU WANNA
GO DOWN AND SEE IF THE FIRE--
WHAT ON EARTH?
I COULDN'T WAIT
TO GET TO THE DOOR.
I FIGURED THE WINDOW'D
BE QUICKER.
ARE YOU DRUNK?
NO. I AIN'T NOW,
BUT I'M-A AIMIN' TO BE.
TOM, YOUR MONTANA
IS BELLE STARR, AND THE DALTONS
ARE MAKIN' HER HOLD UP THE BANK.
WHAT'S THAT?
[ Chokes ] WELL,
THEY NABBED US LAST NIGHT,
AND EMMETT WAS GONNA SHOOT HER
'CAUSE SHE TRIED TO TALK HIM
OUT OF ROBBIN' THE BANK.
THEN BOB, HE WAS COMIN' HERE
AND KILL YOU. WELL,
IT WOUND UP THAT...
SHE PROMISED SHE'D RIDE
WITH HIM IF THEY'D GUARANTEE HER
THAT THEY WOULDN'T BOTHER YOU.
WHERE'S MONTANA NOW?
SHE'S RIDIN'
WITH THE DALTONS...
TO HOLD UP RIDEOUT'S BANK.
TAKE IT EASY, TOM.
THIS PUTS A DIFFERENT LIGHT
ON THINGS. SIT DOWN.
KEEP 'EM HIGH.
[ Gunshots ]
[ Horses Whinnying ]
[ Gunshots Continue ]
NO, TOM.
I'D KILL YOU BEFORE I'D
LET YOU GO OUT THERE.
YOU CAN'T SPOIL THINGS NOW.
WELL, NOW.
I DON'T CARE WHOMSOEVER ELSE
YOU SHOOT,
BUT I DON'T
WANT YOU SHOOTIN' TOM,
'CAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND.
[ Gunshots ]
BELLE'S DOWN!
HOLD YOUR FIRE!
MONTANA!
- MONTANA!
- GO BACK, TOM!
THEY'LL KILL YOU!
- YOU MADE HER A PROMISE.
- MONTANA!
[ Gunshot ]
HERE.
GIVE ME A HAND.
[ Gunshots Continue ]
ALL RIGHT, BRADFIELD.
TAKE HER.
[ Gunshots ]
[ Gun Clicks ]
COME ON, BOB.
LET'S WALK OUT OF THIS TOWN.
ALL RIGHT, YOU DOGS,
DROP YOUR GUNS.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
TAKE 'EM DOWN
TO THE JAIL.
[ Crowd Murmuring ]
I'VE GOT AN ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR YOU FOLKS.
THE DALTON GANG
IS OUT OF BUSINESS.
[ Crowd Cheering ]
JIM CLARK, MAC AND RINGO
ARE DEAD. THE DALTONS
ARE SHOT UP,
BUT THEY'LL LIVE
TO FACE THE JURY.
I WANNA KNOW WHO WAS THAT
YOUNG BANDIT THAT TOM BRADFIELD
TOOK OUT OF THE BANK.
THAT YOUNG BANDIT
WAS BELLE STARR.
BELLE STARR?
CONWAY, GET A POSSE MOUNTED.
WE'LL RIDE THEM DOWN.
[ Groaning ]
OH, TOM--
TOM, I TRIED TO--
I KNOW. PETE BIVINS
TOLD US ALL ABOUT IT.
[ Sighs ]
TOO BAD IT HAD
TO END LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT GOING TO END.
I'LL GET YOU A DOCTOR,
AND WHEN YOU'RE PATCHED UP,
WE'LL STILL HAVE
THAT MEXICAN HONEYMOON.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Man ]
HYAH! HYAH!
WHAT'S THAT?
RIPPLE... AND A POSSE.
[ Men Chattering ]
LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE
TO WAIT FOR THAT HONEYMOON.
BUT WHEN I COME OUT,
I WON'T OWE ANY MAN
ANYTHING.
I'LL BE ALL YOURS THEN--
HONESTLY YOURS.
