The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955–1961): Season 3, Episode 13 - Indian Wife - full transcript
Dick and Laura Melaney arrive in Dodge City with their toddler son on their way back east for a vacation. The daughter of Cheyenne Chief Two Moon, Laura attended an Indian school where she became accustomed to the white life style. Dick married her and together they have built up a nice spread in Kansas. The trip is to allow Laura to see the eastern US and see how well she is accepted although Indian wives are not always accepted in the west due to hard feelings. At the hotel the drunk Rex Jones tries to make a pass at her twice. The first time Earp stops Dick from killing Rex in a shootout while Laura wounds him with a pistol when they meet alone in the hall later. Fearing she will run afoul of the law, Laura leaves with their son and returns to her father's camp. Two Moon does not like his son-in-law and treats his daughter as property. Earp with the help of Mr. Cousin and Mr. Brother tries to intercede but Two Moon takes Dick captive and wants him to kill Rex Jones. Earp has a scheme to solve the issue but Two Moon may see through it.
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.

I thought you promised Marshal Earp not to make more trouble.
No trouble. I just wanna have a sociable talk.
- Come on in here, huh?
- Stop that!
Oh, what are you doing? Being hard-to-get?
You let go of me.
I have a gun. You..
You-you give me that.
- Why, you little...
- Hold it!
You go on down, join your husband.
- She shot me.
- I'll take care. You go on!

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp
starring Hugh O'Brian.
Marriages between white men and Indian girls
happened rarely even on the Kansas frontier of 1877.
Despite the sentimental guff written about squaw men
the strongest barrier to such marriages
was the sacrifice demanded of any Indian girl
who dared to marry a white man.
Fighting tribes like the Sioux, the Apaches and the Cheyenne
greeted such romances with deadly anger.
Marshal Earp would rather face a great gunman
than become involved with a white husband
and an Indian wife.
How be?
A squaw man in a Dodge Hotel.
You go on upstairs.
Handsome.
He's a bad looking Phily, is he?
I left my gun out in the wagon.
I'll meet you outside.
I'll be with you in just a second, Mr. Sqawman.
- What's it all about, mister?
- Never mind.
Just get out of range.
You're a slow hand, Mr. Jones. This fellow sworn he's sober.
'He insulted me and my wife.'
Oh, you're the Marshal.
Look, Mr. Jones is a slow hand with the gun.
And he's been drinking.
You want an apology or an easy gunfight?
An apology.
Look, I'm trying to save your life.
Either you apologize or I stand aside and let you shoot it out.
So, I apologize.
Look, my wife and boy are...
When I stop a gunfight, I'm to keep it stopped.
I'm sorry.
- Are you Wyatt Earp?
- That's right.
From what I've heard about you
I'll have a chance to explain the trouble.
Alright. We'll take a walk and cool off.
Stick?
Well, first I'd like you to meet my wife Mrs. Melanie.
Laura, this is Marshal Wyatt Earp.
Howdy, ma'am?
Your husband was gonna kill Mr. Jones, and I..
- I didn't think he should.
- Well, no. Thank you.
I left the baby inside. I better go back.
I'll be right along, honey.
I remember now. Your wife is the daughter of.
Two Moon, Chief of the Cheyenne.
You folks got a cattle spread up north on the Wyoming line.
Well now, how did you know that?
Oh, well, I, uh, I got a couple of Cheyenne friends.
Mr. Brother and Mr. Cousin, they... well, they gossip.
Come on, we'll take that walk.
Without Laura I'd still be a busted cowhand working
cattle somewhere in Texas.
Well, sit down, sir.
She stood by me through two blizzards, a drought
and nursed me through a fever.
I owe her more than any man should owe a woman.
Well, any husband with a good wife feels the same way.
Well, this isn't the same kind about, Marshal.
She broke with her people for me.
I urged this trip because I wanna prove that she's my wife
no matter what part of the country we're in
and for all time.
You think I'm wrong?
No, Mr. Melanie, I just think you got a special kinda problem
but that doesn't mean you gotta go around fighting
with every stupid sidewinder that makes remarks.
You know, I've heard Indians make remarks too.
You couldn't print what some of them say.
Well, my father-in-law doesn't think too much of me.
Old Two Moon?
Yeah, he's, he's a real tough customer.
You'll be alright once you get used to Kansas city.
Out here, lot of blood has been spilled on both sides.
I happen to think the Indians got a pretty rotten deal, but..
Well, the Indians aren't angels either.
Well, Laura admits that.
And less, she remembers how her people are outnumbered.
Mr. Melanie, I'm ashamed to say this
but I advise you to stick close to the hotel.
Your train leaves in the morning.
I know.
But we won't give you cause for any more trouble.
And thank you, Marshal.
Here.
Let's get back to the hotel.
O-oh!
- Who is it?
- Your husband, Laura.
Oh!
Well, that's better.
Why the locked door, honey?
That man is still here - Oh, he's just a stupid drunk.
Hello, son.
Ah, there's nothing sissy about this kid.
Takes after your father.
Some. But more you.
- What did Mr. Earp have to say?
- Oh, nothing much.
He thinks we ought to keep off the streets.
Just to avoid another hoodlum like Jones.
So we must hide from white people?
Only in Dodge City, honey.
It's that Custer fight.
My father told me that Sioux were trying to run way
and-and Custer charged them with his pony soldiers.
So, you and I have to hide.
Alright. And I have to go to the depot and buy tickets.
You and Grant come with me.
We won't hide.
- Fight?
- What else?
No.
I am bad-tempered.
You go to the station, but you leave your gun here.
Mr. Earp is the good man. We will do as he says.
Now, go quickly and I'll prepare food for us.
Now, that's my girl.
Oh, you can heat little chief's milk in the hotel kitchen.
And don't forget to boil it, huh?
I am stupid, dirty Indian?
Oh, no. We smoked the peace pipe, remember?
Yes, I remember. My sweetheart.
I'll be back.
Now, you be a good boy.
And I'll be right back.
I'll bring you some milk.
Well, hello now.
There's nothing to be scared of. I like Indians.
Please, I'm going to the kitchen.
Well, come in, let's have a drink, huh?
No, no! Stop! Let go of me. I have a gun.
Oh, sure, you're a bad little Indian.
- Why you little...
- Hold it!
I'll shoot your head this time.
No! You go on back in your room and stay there.
- Where's your husband?
- He's in the depot for tickets.
I'll talk to him about this. Now, go on back in your room.
You should go to the doctor. Caused enough trouble here.
- She shot me.
- I don't care.
Well, let me explain. She'll think you'll arrest her.
Look, she shot him in self-defense. I'll explain that.
I knew it.
"Grant and I go back to our people.
"We love you, but we are Cheyenne. Laura."
- I can catch them with a fast...
- Just take it easy.
Sit down.
You know your wife better than to force them to return.
You get any idea where Two Moon is?
No.
I know it to the west and a dozen trails to follow.
I should never have left them alone.
Two Moon will keep them, I know him.
Maybe.
Let's see what Mr. Cousin and Mr. Brother say about this.
Oh, you stay here.
Girl who talk white go to Mission school.
Two Moon not like it.
Then she marry Mr. Melanie.
Two Moon not like it.
Then she have son. Name boy after President Grant.
Two Moon not like that either.
He like horse Greeley.
Alright, Mr. Cousin. Where's Mrs. Melanie now?
Girl who talk white and little boy go to Two Moon's camp.
She's afraid she get put in jail for shooting bad white man.
How did you know about that?
You sent for us. We ask Two Moon if it's alright.
He not like it.
Well, Two Moon never likes anything.
Now, which way to his camp?
Pony soldier after Two Moon.
We tell, he kill us.
Is camp far away?
Alright, you ask Two Moon to meet me on the trail.
Half a day ride from this camp.
What if he say no, Mr. Earp?
Well, then I'll take a posse and find Two Moon.
There will be a lot of bang bang.
Mr. Brother wants to know if you promise not to kill Two Moon.
I won't kill Two Moon but you can tell him this for me.
He doesn't talk this over peaceably
he isn't gonna live too long.
If we raid that camp, their bullets will fly awful thick.
You camp here, my good friend. We tell Two Moon.
Your grandson is a smart little fellow.
Why you say your little white talk is smart?
Well, his father gave him some toy soldiers and Indians, and he
pulled the arms and legs of half of the soldiers.
So it'd be easier for the Indians to scalp them.
Now, why don't you send your daughter back to her husband?
White husband is a coward.
- How?
- Cowhand insult my daughter.
Is Cowhand dead?
- Your daughter wounded him.
- Brave husband fight for wife.
That white husband kill Cowhand.
Bring his body to me.
Then I will talk with him.
Well, I can't make any promises for Mr. Melanie.
But I'll tell him what you said.
Good beef steak.
Yes, sir, would you like to have a little bit?
Well, thank you.
Nice family you married into.
Your father-in-law wants you to kill Rex Jones
and bring the body into camp.
- Well, I can't do that.
- Yeah, I know.
Jones had the trail for Texas this morning.
Oh, I wouldn't have tried to gun him down.
I'm not Cheyenne and I don't take orders from Two Moon.
Well, I'll get a hold of Sheriff Masterson.
We'll round up some deputies and raid the camp.
- No deal.
- Look, I can do it legally.
Grant, your little boy and Two Moon kidnapped him.
Two Moon wouldn't harm him and Laura.
But the young braves might.
Just warning a Cheyenne prince.
Laura must be pretty sick of life in a Cheyenne large by now.
- I'll convince her to leave.
- Sure and get yourself killed.
You're not very popular with that old India.
Two Moon thought he owned Laura.
Wish me luck, huh?
Oh, I'm going along too.
Meet me over at the jail, huh?
Well, Mr. Brother and Mr. Cousin aren't like horses and guns.
You... you can't borrow them.
Now, I can find Two Moon, but it's gonna take a little longer.
Wyatt.
What's the matter, Hal?
- Well..
- Go on.
We had to shoot Three Fingered Finnegan.
What?
He cut loose on Jaco. Winged his gun arm.
- Finnegan dead?
- Yes, sir.
Come here.
- Where's the body?
- At the coroners.
Alright, you snatch that body in tonight
and follow my trail in the morning.
- But, Wyatt...
- That's an order.
And I'll take the blame. Go on.
Well?
You have risked your life for us many time.
We do what you say.
Good. Bring that saddle bag there.
Laura.
No, there's danger. My father is having us watched.
- You must go quick.
- We rode all night to get here.
Now, Wyatt, Brother and Cousin are back there.
- We can leave now, come on.
- No, they will kill you.
The-the boy and I are happy here.
Please, good bye.
You're not a very good liar, Laura. Now, come on.
- We shoot?
- No, we get outta here.
What are they saying?
Young man want to shoot Mr. Melanie.
Girl says she must talk to Two moon first.
Girl having her way.
I hope Marshall Earp goes back to Dodge city.
You two skedaddle outta here. You've done all you can.
- Thank you very much.
- You stay here?
- No.
- Where then?
None of your business. Go on. Ride out of here, pronto.
Mr. Earp, I..
Mr. Brother thinks you go to Two Moon's camp. Is that true?
- Two moon will listen to me.
- Why?
Mr. Cousin, like you said. This is a family row.
Two Moon is a father-in-law.
Father-in-laws like to talk a lot. He'll want to..
Tell his side of the story before he does anything.
We stay here and claim body of Marshall Earp.
Am I invited to wedding? No.
Am I told that little white talk is coming?
No.
Am I asked to see my own grandchild?
No.
What is Two Moon? Low dog?
Coward in battle?
I am Chief for the Cheyenne.
- Mr. Melanie was wrong.
- Wrong?
He is a disgrace to me and my people.
What is Melanie? A soldier? No.
A brave man with a star like you?
No. He is nothing.
He has a few cattle.
Land he stole from the Arapaho.
My daughter married a thief as well as a coward.
No more talk.
He dies.
If you let me talk to Mr. Melanie, it may stop a war.
There'll be no war.
Oh, yes.
If you kill him and me, they army will be after you.
I do not touch Marshall Earp.
Your young braves will get exited and finish me off.
It's too bad.
Soldiers and Indians dying over a family quarrel.
I thought Two Moon was a smart Chief.
Wait.
What do you say to Melanie?
- I'll tell him he was a fool.
- What else?
That I would have to take your side.
You stand up for Indian?
You love your grandson.
He should be allowed to visit you.
And you should always be welcome in Mr. Melanie's home.
I do not like the name Grant.
What about the name?
Well, I think he should be christened, uh..
Grant Two Moon Melanie.
And you should be invited at the christening.
Your heart is good. You talk with this man.
Now, I'm bound to say that I..
Now, that I sympathize with Two Moon.
After all, he is your son's grandfather, you know?
- It wasn't all my doing.
- Laura?
You know how Cheyenne treat their women?
Laura came back from mission school.
She found her father had stopped trying to act civilized.
She was the Chief's daughter but she was his property.
Well, I think the boy has changed Two Moon.
His first grandson.
- Move closer.
- Hm?
Laura gave me her gun. Inside my shirt.
Well, I'll take it.
But first I want to talk to Two Moon again.
Tell him that you're sorry.
That he'll be treated like a grandfather.
He wants more. You'll see.
Now, quick, light me a smoke.
And take the gun.
I talk to your Chief.
Hey, homey.
- Where's Wyatt?
- He talk to Two Moon.
I stole the body he wanted. Now, what's the plan?
He no tell. AI think we wait here.
Well, I better not go barging any Cheyenne camp.
Sir Wyatt said so.
I give you my word. Mr. Melanie's heart has changed.
You will belong to his family after this.
It isn't gonna help any, your keeping him and Laura and
little Grant Two Moon prisoned.
- You forget something.
- What?
Cowhand insult my daughter. Where his body?
- You'll get the body.
- When?
Look, I've taken your side.
Mr. Melanie has promised to act decent.
And all you can think about is cruel Indian revenge.
No.
Now, you walk out of here with your hands up.
Go on.
I'm taking the Melanies from here.
Any objections from you and you'll be shot.
Tell your men to get in front and walk.
Come on.
Hold it. Now, bring out your daughter and her son.
Hey!
Don't shoot them! Hal, no!
Hal, don't shoot them!
Did you bring the man that Dick killed?
He's back there in the wagon.
Bring him here. I will look at him.
Get Melanie and my grandson.
Look with care, my daughter.
Is that the man?
Yes. He is the man who insulted me.
Then you are not a coward.
- Take your wife and go.
- Not without my son.
Tell your grandfather you will see him soon.
You will all leave. Except Marshal Earp.
All go!
Give it to him.
My daughter is still mine.
She grabbed gun for fear you shoot.
My grandson is mine.
- He hold my hand real tight.
- True.
I'll try to like my son-in-law.
But that is not body of man who insult my family.
This is Three Fingers Finnegan.
Your own men shoot him in Dodge City.
I will say this for Marshal Earp.
He keep face like Indian.
You think little Two Moon look like me?
Yes, sir, I think there's a strong resemblance.
Good.
You go now.
Thank you, Chief.

And I'll take the blame. Go on.
Well?
You have risked your life for us many time.
We do what you say.
Good. Bring that saddle bag there.
Laura.
No, there's danger. My father is having us watched.
- You must go quick.
- We rode all night to get here.
Now, Wyatt, Brother and Cousin are back there.
- We can leave now, come on.
- No, they will kill you.
The-the boy and I are happy here.
Please, good bye.
You're not a very good liar, Laura. Now, come on.
- We shoot?
- No, we get outta here.
What are they saying?
Young man want to shoot Mr. Melanie.
Girl says she must talk to Two moon first.
Girl having her way.
I hope Marshall Earp goes back to Dodge city.
You two skedaddle outta here. You've done all you can.
- Thank you very much.
- You stay here?
- No.
- Where then?
None of your business. Go on. Ride out of here, pronto.
Mr. Earp, I..
Mr. Brother thinks you go to Two Moon's camp. Is that true?
- Two moon will listen to me.
- Why?
Mr. Cousin, like you said. This is a family row.
Two Moon is a father-in-law.
Father-in-laws like to talk a lot. He'll want to..
Tell his side of the story before he does anything.
We stay here and claim body of Marshall Earp.
Am I invited to wedding? No.
Am I told that little white talk is coming?
No.
Am I asked to see my own grandchild?
No.
What is Two Moon? Low dog?
Coward in battle?
I am Chief for the Cheyenne.
- Mr. Melanie was wrong.
- Wrong?
He is a disgrace to me and my people.
What is Melanie? A soldier? No.
A brave man with a star like you?
No. He is nothing.
He has a few cattle.
Land he stole from the Arapaho.
My daughter married a thief as well as a coward.
No more talk.
He dies.
If you let me talk to Mr. Melanie, it may stop a war.
There'll be no war.
Oh, yes.
If you kill him and me, they army will be after you.
I do not touch Marshall Earp.
Your young braves will get exited and finish me off.
It's too bad.
Soldiers and Indians dying over a family quarrel.
I thought Two Moon was a smart Chief.
Wait.
What do you say to Melanie?
- I'll tell him he was a fool.
- What else?
That I would have to take your side.
You stand up for Indian?
You love your grandson.
He should be allowed to visit you.
And you should always be welcome in Mr. Melanie's home.
I do not like the name Grant.
What about the name?
Well, I think he should be christened, uh..
Grant Two Moon Melanie.
And you should be invited at the christening.
Your heart is good. You talk with this man.
Now, I'm bound to say that I..
Now, that I sympathize with Two Moon.
After all, he is your son's grandfather, you know?
- It wasn't all my doing.
- Laura?
You know how Cheyenne treat their women?
Laura came back from mission school.
She found her father had stopped trying to act civilized.
She was the Chief's daughter but she was his property.
Well, I think the boy has changed Two Moon.
His first grandson.
- Move closer.
- Hm?
Laura gave me her gun. Inside my shirt.
Well, I'll take it.
But first I want to talk to Two Moon again.
Tell him that you're sorry.
That he'll be treated like a grandfather.
He wants more. You'll see.
Now, quick, light me a smoke.
And take the gun.
I talk to your Chief.
Hey, homey.
- Where's Wyatt?
- He talk to Two Moon.
I stole the body he wanted. Now, what's the plan?
He no tell. AI think we wait here.
Well, I better not go barging any Cheyenne camp.
Sir Wyatt said so.
I give you my word. Mr. Melanie's heart has changed.
You will belong to his family after this.
It isn't gonna help any, your keeping him and Laura and
little Grant Two Moon prisoned.
- You forget something.
- What?
Cowhand insult my daughter. Where his body?
- You'll get the body.
- When?
Look, I've taken your side.
Mr. Melanie has promised to act decent.
And all you can think about is cruel Indian revenge.
No.
Now, you walk out of here with your hands up.
Go on.
I'm taking the Melanies from here.
Any objections from you and you'll be shot.
Tell your men to get in front and walk.
Come on.
Hold it. Now, bring out your daughter and her son.
Hey!
Don't shoot them! Hal, no!
Hal, don't shoot them!
Did you bring the man that Dick killed?
He's back there in the wagon.
Bring him here. I will look at him.
Get Melanie and my grandson.
Look with care, my daughter.
Is that the man?
Yes. He is the man who insulted me.
Then you are not a coward.
- Take your wife and go.
- Not without my son.
Tell your grandfather you will see him soon.
You will all leave. Except Marshal Earp.
All go!
Give it to him.
My daughter is still mine.
She grabbed gun for fear you shoot.
My grandson is mine.
- He hold my hand real tight.
- True.
I'll try to like my son-in-law.
But that is not body of man who insult my family.
This is Three Fingers Finnegan.
Your own men shoot him in Dodge City.
I will say this for Marshal Earp.
He keep face like Indian.
You think little Two Moon look like me?
Yes, sir, I think there's a strong resemblance.
Good.
You go now.
Thank you, Chief.
