The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955–1961): Season 2, Episode 10 - So Long, Dora, So Long - full transcript
Rellance killed an awful good friend of yours, Wyatt.
You've got your Buntline Special.
Why don't you drop him as he comes down the trail,
or hang him right here?
Sheriff Bassett, his Chief Deputy Bill Tillman,
Marshal Wyatt Earp, and we're all thinking the same thing.
Well?
No.
We take him live and let the law hang him.
You sure you'll stick to that?
I don't know.
Better make up your mind, Wyatt.
Here he comes.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp,
starring Hugh O'Brian. Presented by...
Perhaps the main reason his enemies
hated Marshal Wyatt Earp
was Wyatt's profound loyalty to his friends.
Then, there were such characters as Jim Kelly
and Dora Hand, the Queen of Dodge City nightlife.
Jim Kelly, the saloon keeper who backed Wyatt in his struggle
to civilize roaring, snortin' Dodge,
and Dora Hand, a legend in her own lifetime on the frontier,
whose romance with Kelly and friendship with Wyatt
cause some lifting of eyebrows
among the respectable citizens of Dodge City.
But Wyatt Earp, having once gained a friend,
was loyal to that friend to the last ditch.
Oh, howdy, Wyatt.
You look like a married man already, Mr. Kelly.
None of your bachelor grins now.
I may back out on it entirely.
And what would you think of that?
Oh, you'll be at church tomorrow.
And where's Miss Dora?
Still sewing on that dress.
I tell you, Wyatt, I'm shaky.
Hey, what are you toting?
It's a present.
And it's hefty.
I'm kind of scared to show it to Miss Dora.
What is it, now?
Never mind. It's for the bride-to-be
to open, not you.
Wyatt, I'm not good enough for her.
No, you're not.
I knew you'd say that.
And I oughta get sore.
But it's the Lord's own truth.
You can't take a man out of a saloon and put him in a hardware store
on the right side of town and expect a miracle.
Now, Miss Dora doesn't expect that.
She knows you.
But is it fair, now,
for me to be marrying her?
Mr. Kelly, the women always get the worst of it.
They expect that.
Anyway, if women weren't braver than men,
there'd be mighty few marriages.
No, Miss Dora knows exactly what she's got to put up with.
Come in, Wyatt.
Put the clock down.
Clock?
It's a beautiful Seth Thomas with chimes,
and you paid far too much for it.
But there's no need to pretend we don't need a clock.
You open it, Jim. You're the head of the household.
How did you find out that I was giving you a clock?
Mr. Levy told me that you sent all the way to St. Louis for it.
And he didn't want you to waste money on something we didn't need.
Oh, Jim! Isn't it beautiful?
Sure is! One of those new eight-day clocks.
Must have cost you mighty near a month's pay.
Oh, now mind your manners, Kelly.
You know that we don't put a price on anything.
Oh... you better let Wyatt put it on the mantelpiece.
I don't trust Jim in the state he's in!
- Want me to wind it?
- Oh, no, it's bad luck.
Wait until after the wedding.
But we sure do thank you.
- Do I get to wind it?
- Of course.
Bend down, Wyatt.
We'll treasure this all our lives.
Thank you, Miss Dora.
Mr. Kelly, you don't know how lucky you are.
We both fools for luck.
Oh, this is a far cry from the Alhambra Saloon
and Dora's Dance Hall. Oh, why, Wyatt...
Oh, dear.
What's wrong?
It's that Reliance Kid.
You know, hon, the one whose father
owns that big ranch down in Texas.
I'll settle his hash!
No. You let me take care of it.
He thinks he's in love with me.
I'll let him down easy.
But Dora!
Kelly.
Let Miss Dora Handle it, hmm?
Howdy, Bob.
- Is it true?
- What do you mean?
Soon as I hit town they told me about you marrying that old man.
It can't be true.
If you mean Jim Kelly, he's not an old man.
Yes, we are getting married, tomorrow.
That Irish saloon keeper? You're smarter than that.
Oh? How smart should I be?
Dora, listen.
I told you I'd marry you just as soon as I collected from my mama.
Well, I collected.
I'm over 21 and my old man hasn't got a thing to say about it.
I don't Rob cradles, Bob. I told you that, didn't I?
You ain't marrying Jim Kelly.
Oh, yes I am. Tomorrow.
Huh-uh. You're marrying me.
Bob, look.
Your pop may own half of Texas,
but it doesn't make any difference to me if he owns the whole State.
I'm 30 years old. Go back to Texas, Bob.
Get a gal your own age.
Get on your horse, kid.
Well, the bridegroom, you think.
You stupid Irish no good...
- Bob, stop it!
- Get out of here, Dora!
Wyatt!
Get in the house, both of you!
Kelly, temper, now. Come on, do what Wyatt says.
- So you're Wyatt Earp, huh?
- That's right.
Is that supposed to impress me?
My name is Reliance.
Bob Reliance.
Yeah, I heard of your father.
Nothing very good.
I don't want to hear any more about you.
Now you get on that horse and light out of this town.
Leave it alone.
You're a spoiled brat.
Maybe I should have let Kelly give you that beating.
You swing another punch at me and I'm gonna give you that lickin', boy.
You're bigger than me, Earp.
But Dora ain't gonna marry that Irish, you understand?
I told you to get on that horse.
Your time's run out in this town.
If I see you here again your father isn't gonna know you.
I'll get me another gun, Earp.
You tell friend Kelly Dora ain't gonna marry that irisher!
Wyatt, Wyatt.
Jim wants to go gunning for that fool kid.
Won't be necessary.
Mr. Kelly! Would you bring my hat?
But Bob is so mean when he's jealous and drunk.
You and Jim forget about it.
I'll run him out of town.
Thank you.
See you both at the party tonight, huh?
Oh, yes, of course, Wyatt.
There wouldn't be any party without you.
Thanks.
17, 18, 19, 20.
21...
Hello, Sam.
Oh, hello, Marshal.
You got a guest here by the name of Bob Reliance?
Yeah, but he checked out.
Not five minutes ago.
Where is he now, do you know?
Threw his saddlebags on his horse and rode off.
Acted sore at all us folks in Dodge.
Reckon he headed back to Texas.
And a good riddance, if you ask me.
Yeah, it sure is, if he did go.
Yeah, yeah, sure. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Howdy, Wyatt.
Howdy, Wyatt.
- Howdy, sheriff.
- Mr. Tillman.
I'm hunting for Bob Reliance.
What's he done?
Shot somebody in the back?
He threatened Jim Kelly.
- I ordered him to leave town.
- He didn't leave?
I'm not sure. I've had my deputies
out hunting for him since before noon.
I was wondering if you and Mr. Tillman could give me a hand.
Of course, Wyatt.
If that Reliance kid was still in town, where do you figure he'd be hiding?
Well, Steve Corning is old man Reliance's lawyer up here.
- Yeah, you talk to Steve.
- Right.
I'll get some of my deputies.
We'll help you check the trails.
Thanks, Charlie. That'd be the quickest way.
I don't want Mr. Kelly's wedding interfered with.
Nobody does. Him and Dora have invited the whole town.
Everybody'll turn out to wish 'em well too.
And don't worry about Reliance, Wyatt.
- We'll find him.
- Thanks.
- Howdy, Bob.
- Howdy.
You heading the wrong way, ain't you?
I'm heading for Texas. Is that the wrong way?
You'll be missing all the fun, Bob.
- Oh?
- Jim Kelly's marrying Dora Hand tomorrow.
Free drinks and a picnic all day long.
That's too bad. I gotta shove along home now.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Howdy, Marshal, Sheriff.
We're looking for a boy by the name of Bob Reliance.
Do you happen to know him?
Sure. I just passed him down the road a ways.
Headin' south?
Yep. I joshed him a little about missing the big day tomorrow.
Kelly getting married, you know.
But he said he had to move along home to Texas.
Did he act drunk or sore or anything?
Why no, Sheriff.
- It's a fair question.
- What are you after him for?
Marshal Earp ordered him to leave town.
We're just making sure he left.
I guess the boy come to his senses, Wyatt.
Yeah, I guess so.
- Thank you.
- Yes, sir.
If you're still not satisfied, we can overtake the boy.
I don't know what we could arrest him for.
Not much sense in that.
Guess I'm just kind of jumpy.
It's Kelly should be nervous, not you.
Come on, get him off your mind.
Gentlemen, this is the finest bachelor dinner I've ever attended.
- And the soberest.
-
Jim Kelly, to your very good health.
- That's right.
- Let's have a speech, Mr. Kelly.
Yeah, come on. How about a few words?
Well, Dora talked me into having the dinner here.
She wanted to keep me sober.
We've had our fun and our jokes now,
but in the general excitement
I plumb forgot to ask the Reverend to say grace.
I hope it's not too late for his blessing on this house.
My good friends, I'm not going to say grace.
Mr. Kelly, you and Miss Dora blessed this house with your love.
Only love can bless a house in a marriage.
But it took considerable more than that.
It took great courage to cross Marshal Earp's deadline,
to start a new life on this side of town.
I'm wondering what you have to say to that, Mr. Earp.
- Amen.
-
I say God bless all of you.
Without Wyatt's help and the Reverend's,
and all of you,
I'd have never made it.
It's a little miracle, it is,
turning a hoodlum like me into a respectable merchant.
Good evening, gentlemen!
Good evening, Dora!
Did you have too much to drink, Kelly?
- Huh-uh.
- Shame on you.
In front of the Reverend Hawker, too.
I thought you were gonna watch out for him, Wyatt.
He only had a couple of glasses of champagne.
It isn't the wine, it's the Irish in him, Miss Dora.
Lovely things were said, Dora, lovely.
I apologize. Mrs. Hawker's waiting outside for you.
And Mrs. Hoover is waiting outside for you.
She's worried about you.
And I'm worried about all of you.
Bachelor dinner!
Do you know it's 2:00 in the morning?
But Dora...
We're gonna have one of the biggest weddings
that Dodge City's ever had.
Miss Dora's right. It is getting kind of late.
Good night...
I'm gonna take Mr. Kelly over to the hotel and see that he gets tucked into bed.
- Thank you, Wyatt.
- Hold on, Wyatt.
I haven't showed her my wedding outfit.
Where is it, Kelly?
Wyatt left it in the bedroom.
Now, the hat and coat may be too loud.
I'm a little tired, Kelly.
Anything you wear will be all right with me.
She'll look at it and let you know whether she likes it in the morning.
I'll wait for you outside.
- Good night, Miss Dora.
- Good night, Wyatt.
Good night, darling.
Good night, Kelly.
Dream me an Irish dream.
I will. That I will.
Take it easy, Kelly!
See you tomorrow!
Don't forget the wedding's tomorrow!
Wyatt, I don't like leaving her alone.
She's not alone. Mrs. Norton's staying with her.
You sure Reliance didn't sneak back?
If he did come back, he'd be after you, not Miss Dora.
He's probably 50 miles down the trail to Texas by now. Come on.
Was that a shot, Dora?
Miss Dora!
Oh!
Mr. Kelly! Mr. Earp! It's Miss Dora!
It's Miss Dora!
Dora! Dora!
Is she hurt bad? I'll go for Dr. McCarty!
- No, you go!
- Come on, give me a hand.
Dora!
Take it easy.
Wyatt, she's hurt bad! Do something!
Do something!
There's nothing to do, Mr. Kelly.
Oh, Dora!
Don't take on so, Mr. Kelly.
Let him cry.
Who's got a better right to cry?
I'm going after Reliance.
Now, we know he left by the Jones and Plumber Trail,
but he'd be a fool to stay on it with only an hour head start.
Then he'll circle to Ford the Cimarron
and hit the Texas trail and the nations, hmm?
That'd be my guess, Charlie.
The best ford is here by Wagon Bed Springs.
That's a big gamble, Wyatt.
It's 70 miles across that prairie to the Springs.
Besides, he may get there ahead of us.
Then we run him all the way to Texas.
How much further to the Cimarron do you figure, Wyatt?
About 30 miles, over there.
We've been riding six hours now.
Hadn't we better lay up and rest the horses?
I vote we go on.
Wyatt's right. A man on the run
usually figures he's got a posse of soft townfolks after him.
This may be our one chance to head Reliance off.
Let's go.
Who is it?
United States Marshal. Open up.
This Wagon Bed Springs?
Yes, sir.
How far is it to Cimarron Ford?
Oh, gosh, just right across that field.
You seen any horsemen today or heard any tonight?
Nobody traveling either way, mister.
Well, that's good.
Charlie, you and Bill get yourself warm and rest your horses.
- I'm gonna go on down to the ford and make sure.
- All right.
Can I borrow your lantern, mister?
- Help yourself, Marshal.
- Thanks.
You other gentlemen go and water your horses
- and come on in the house.
- Thank you.
Easy, Wyatt.
I thought you'd like some coffee.
Thanks.
That's good.
I figure Reliance will be by come sunup.
Make the fight right here, keep the shots away from the house.
Well, have you thought it over?
What?
Do we just kill him outright
or do we hang him?
Can't do either one, Charlie, you know that.
We're supposed to bring him in alive.
Rellance has an awful powerful papa, Wyatt.
The old man will spend any amount to get him off.
Money isn't gonna get him off.
They'll hang him in Dodge after a fair trial.
I hope so.
But you doubt it, huh?
You, Bill, and I are officers of the law.
All we can do is arrest the skunk.
We're not supposed to judge him
or execute him.
Fine. Come on, let's get out of this and get some rest.
Killed that girl in cold blood.
Even if he meant it for Kelly, he had murder in his heart.
Wyatt, I'll drop him.
Or better yet, how about Charlie and me cutting loose on him together?
I feel the same way you do.
I know better and so do you.
Just knock him off his horse.
You do it, Wyatt.
I don't trust myself.
All right.
Here he comes.
Halt!
Ow! Oh!
Did I get Kelly?
No.
You killed Miss Dora.
You're lying.
Don't you never call Wyatt a liar.
He's a fool to let you live, but he's telling the truth!
You killed the girl!
Dora.
Go ahead. Finish me off!
Oh, I'd like to.
But killing's too good for you.
Where are you hit?
In the back. I can't feel my legs.
Your horse reared and spoiled my aim.
Ow!
He's hit bad.
We'll have to make a stretcher.
Order! Order!
The accused will come forward.
Mr. Rellance, in the opinion of this court,
you are guilty of murder.
Doctors have testified that you will never walk again,
and might die at any time.
This court, however, is not swayed by irrelevant facts.
Order! Order!
Any more disturbance and I'll have Marshal Earp clear the courtroom.
Your counsel, Mr. Rellance,
have asked a change of venue
on the ground that public opinion is so inflamed in Dodge City
that you could not receive a fair trial here.
The court is obliged to agree to their contention.
Give him the rope!
Quiet! Quiet! Sit down!
Sit down and stay there!
For the benefit of the public, the court must observe
that any man accused of any crime
is guaranteed a fair trial by the law of the country.
Change of venue is hereby granted,
and you will be tried in Abilene.
Sheriff Bassett, remove the prisoner.
Court adjourned.
No, Mr. Kelly.
Killing Reliance isn't gonna bring her back.
I'd have to punish you as a common hoodlum.
Do you think Miss Dora would want that?
They'll hang him in Abilene.
If they don't, he'll pay in remorse and pain the rest of his life.
Even if he gets off scot free, Mr. Kelly,
he'll still have to face the final Judge.
Come on.

Free drinks and a picnic all day long.
That's too bad. I gotta shove along home now.

and all of you,
I'd have never made it.
It's a little miracle, it is,

Good evening, gentlemen!
Good evening, Dora!
Did you have too much to drink, Kelly?
- Huh-uh.
- Shame on you.
In front of the Reverend Hawker, too.
I thought you were gonna watch out for him, Wyatt.
He only had a couple of glasses of champagne.
It isn't the wine, it's the Irish in him, Miss Dora.
Lovely things were said, Dora, lovely.
I apologize. Mrs. Hawker's waiting outside for you.
And Mrs. Hoover is waiting outside for you.
She's worried about you.
And I'm worried about all of you.
Bachelor dinner!
Do you know it's 2:00 in the morning?
But Dora...
We're gonna have one of the biggest weddings
that Dodge City's ever had.
Miss Dora's right. It is getting kind of late.
Good night...
I'm gonna take Mr. Kelly over to the hotel and see that he gets tucked into bed.
- Thank you, Wyatt.
- Hold on, Wyatt.
I haven't showed her my wedding outfit.
Where is it, Kelly?
Wyatt left it in the bedroom.
Now, the hat and coat may be too loud.
I'm a little tired, Kelly.
Anything you wear will be all right with me.
She'll look at it and let you know whether she likes it in the morning.
I'll wait for you outside.
- Good night, Miss Dora.
- Good night, Wyatt.
Good night, darling.
Good night, Kelly.
Dream me an Irish dream.
I will. That I will.
Take it easy, Kelly!
See you tomorrow!
Don't forget the wedding's tomorrow!
Wyatt, I don't like leaving her alone.
She's not alone. Mrs. Norton's staying with her.
You sure Reliance didn't sneak back?
If he did come back, he'd be after you, not Miss Dora.
He's probably 50 miles down the trail to Texas by now. Come on.
Was that a shot, Dora?
Miss Dora!
Oh!
Mr. Kelly! Mr. Earp! It's Miss Dora!
It's Miss Dora!
Dora! Dora!
Is she hurt bad? I'll go for Dr. McCarty!
- No, you go!
- Come on, give me a hand.
Dora!
Take it easy.
Wyatt, she's hurt bad! Do something!
Do something!
There's nothing to do, Mr. Kelly.
Oh, Dora!
Don't take on so, Mr. Kelly.
Let him cry.
Who's got a better right to cry?
I'm going after Reliance.
Now, we know he left by the Jones and Plumber Trail,
but he'd be a fool to stay on it with only an hour head start.
Then he'll circle to Ford the Cimarron
and hit the Texas trail and the nations, hmm?
That'd be my guess, Charlie.
The best ford is here by Wagon Bed Springs.
That's a big gamble, Wyatt.
It's 70 miles across that prairie to the Springs.
Besides, he may get there ahead of us.
Then we run him all the way to Texas.
How much further to the Cimarron do you figure, Wyatt?
About 30 miles, over there.
We've been riding six hours now.
Hadn't we better lay up and rest the horses?
I vote we go on.
Wyatt's right. A man on the run
usually figures he's got a posse of soft townfolks after him.
This may be our one chance to head Reliance off.
Let's go.
Who is it?
United States Marshal. Open up.
This Wagon Bed Springs?
Yes, sir.
How far is it to Cimarron Ford?
Oh, gosh, just right across that field.
You seen any horsemen today or heard any tonight?
Nobody traveling either way, mister.
Well, that's good.
Charlie, you and Bill get yourself warm and rest your horses.
- I'm gonna go on down to the ford and make sure.
- All right.
Can I borrow your lantern, mister?
- Help yourself, Marshal.
- Thanks.
You other gentlemen go and water your horses
- and come on in the house.
- Thank you.
Easy, Wyatt.
I thought you'd like some coffee.
Thanks.
That's good.
I figure Reliance will be by come sunup.
Make the fight right here, keep the shots away from the house.
Well, have you thought it over?
What?
Do we just kill him outright
or do we hang him?
Can't do either one, Charlie, you know that.
We're supposed to bring him in alive.
Rellance has an awful powerful papa, Wyatt.
The old man will spend any amount to get him off.
Money isn't gonna get him off.
They'll hang him in Dodge after a fair trial.
I hope so.
But you doubt it, huh?
You, Bill, and I are officers of the law.
All we can do is arrest the skunk.
We're not supposed to judge him
or execute him.
Fine. Come on, let's get out of this and get some rest.
Killed that girl in cold blood.
Even if he meant it for Kelly, he had murder in his heart.
Wyatt, I'll drop him.
Or better yet, how about Charlie and me cutting loose on him together?
I feel the same way you do.
I know better and so do you.
Just knock him off his horse.
You do it, Wyatt.
I don't trust myself.
All right.
Here he comes.
Halt!
Ow! Oh!
Did I get Kelly?
No.
You killed Miss Dora.
You're lying.
Don't you never call Wyatt a liar.
He's a fool to let you live, but he's telling the truth!
You killed the girl!
Dora.
Go ahead. Finish me off!
Oh, I'd like to.
But killing's too good for you.
Where are you hit?
In the back. I can't feel my legs.
Your horse reared and spoiled my aim.
Ow!
He's hit bad.
We'll have to make a stretcher.
Order! Order!
The accused will come forward.
Mr. Rellance, in the opinion of this court,
you are guilty of murder.
Doctors have testified that you will never walk again,
and might die at any time.
This court, however, is not swayed by irrelevant facts.
Order! Order!
Any more disturbance and I'll have Marshal Earp clear the courtroom.
Your counsel, Mr. Rellance,
have asked a change of venue
on the ground that public opinion is so inflamed in Dodge City
that you could not receive a fair trial here.
The court is obliged to agree to their contention.
Give him the rope!
Quiet! Quiet! Sit down!
Sit down and stay there!
For the benefit of the public, the court must observe
that any man accused of any crime
is guaranteed a fair trial by the law of the country.
Change of venue is hereby granted,
and you will be tried in Abilene.
Sheriff Bassett, remove the prisoner.
Court adjourned.
No, Mr. Kelly.
Killing Reliance isn't gonna bring her back.
I'd have to punish you as a common hoodlum.
Do you think Miss Dora would want that?
They'll hang him in Abilene.
If they don't, he'll pay in remorse and pain the rest of his life.
Even if he gets off scot free, Mr. Kelly,
he'll still have to face the final Judge.
Come on.
