The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp (1955–1961): Season 3, Episode 16 - Bad Woman - full transcript
Contrary to the opinion of many most of the western settlers were veterans of the Civil War and knew how to fight. So when the Burden gang tried to rob the Dodge City bank while Earp and his deputies were out of town, the citizens were able to stop the robbery and capture the outlaws. A couple were dead and the leader Dan Burden was wounded. Earp knows the gang based on stories from Sheriff Tillman. The Burdens own a small ranch in the area and the real ring leader is the sister Marie. Marie decides to go to Dodge City herself instead of their foreman Lance Morfit. Earp puts her under arrest but he has no proof she planned or led the robbery. Earp refuses to take a bribe from her so Marie is able to frame Earp for physically attacking her in the hotel forcing him to free her. She tells her brother she has a plan to get him off but her real goal is the death of Earp.
Aren't you satisfied?
Your brother's in jail.
Your gentleman friend is gunnin' for me.
- Lance will kill you.
- No, he won't.
- He's not that fast.
- Then, I'll do it.
Right now.
If ever a woman deserved punishment, it's you.
You put your own brother in jail.
You egg Lance into gunning me.
One might get hanged, the other killed, and you don't care.
You're scared of Lance.
No.
But I may have to shoot him.
If I do, I want you to see it.

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp, starring Hugh O'Brien.
A certain story once told of three gunfighters
bullying a western town while the gallant sheriff
had to fight them alone.
How the old-timers of Wichita, Abilene, and Dodge City
must have laughed at such a yarn.
Frontier towns in the 70s were settled
by many veterans of union and confederate battles.
Veterans who still knew how to fight.
So in 1878, when a hoodlum outfit led by Dan Burton
tried to rob a bank in Dodge City
while Marshal Wyatt Earp and his deputies were away.
Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
- Had a little trouble in town.
- Yeah, I see.
- Sent for the doc?
- Yes, Marshal.
Go bring the wagon, huh.
Good work, Mayor.
Well, one back there and this one here is dead.
They never learn.
Any of your people get hurt?
He wounded Chris Alan, the cashier.
Couple of boys got nicked but nothing bad.
- Who are you?
- Never mind that.
You gonna let me bleed to death?
Well, I wouldn't worry about it. Doc will plug you up.
We were coming back from turning in some prisoners to the army
we heard the shooting.
These hoodlums must be amateurs.
They shot pretty wild.
Jesse James and Cole Younger wouldn't try what they did.
First thing I learned in the army was never to ride
into a hostile town in broad daylight.
Mr. Alan got hit in the arm, but he claims two scalps
with that sawed-off shotgun of his.
The town put up a real good fight, and I'm proud of 'em.
Oh, and Mayor Kelly is a cinch for re-election.
I'd be ashamed to mention this.
We was firing from behind doors and windows.
Like shooting ducks on a pond.
Well, I wouldn't be too modest about it, Your Honor.
I'll see if I can identify any of them.
- Lance, what happened?
- They got all shot up.
Some men scattered north and west. Your brother...
- Danny didn't pull it off?
- A fool idea, Marie.
It wasn't.
I told you and Danny. Lot of men with guns in that town.
Danny must have bungled it.
Earp and his deputies weren't even there
all he had to do was bluff out some storekeepers.
They didn't bluff easy.
I'll drift into Dodge tonight and find out just what happened.
No. No, I've got a better idea.
Hold up. What are you aiming to do?
You just drift into town tonight. Maybe, I'll tell you.
Danny said to keep you out of it.
Are you going by what Danny said or by what I say?
Oh, please, hon. What can you do in Dodge?
A lot more than Danny and those numbskulls did.
Now, you just lie low here.
Come in to Dodge tonight.
Are you my foreman or aren't you?
Alright. You're the boss.
Remember that.
Sit down, Mr. Burton.
That ain't my name.
Dan Burton's your name, you got a sister named Marie.
A small cattle spread over New Engles.
Mr. Bill Tillmans told me about you.
You and your sister aren't exactly unknown around here.
- Who's been talking?
- None of your business.
Any of those wounded men make a statement?
No, sir.
Alright, Hal. You telegraph the sheriff over at Engles
ask him to please arrest Miss Marie Burton.
- Conspiracy to rob a bank.
- Alright.
You leave my sister out of this. She didn't know nothing.
But she had a grudge against the Union Bank, didn't she?
Eight months ago, she sold some mortgage cattle.
The bank made her pay up.
Now, who bosses the ranch, you or Marie?
- I do.
- Oh!
Why did she sign this application for a loan?
Why didn't you co-sign?
I don't have to answer your fool questions.
Sit down.
You arrest Marie and Lance will gun you.
Oh! And who is Lance?
Lance Morfit, that's who. He's engaged to my sister.
Lance Morfit, hmm?
Seems I recall a gentleman by that name.
You'll get better acquainted if you bother my sister.
Alright, Mr. Burton. We'll put you back in your cell.
- What about Marie?
- I'll have a talk with her.
My hunch may be wrong
but I think she's involved in the robbery.
Lance will kill you.
Mr. Burton, he can try.
Won't be the first time it's been tried.
One moment, please.
Who is it?
- Marshal Earp. - Oh, good.
You interested in bedrooms?
No, I'm just careful.
I'm awful glad you came to town, Miss Burton.
I wasted money sending an arrest order for you.
Arrest me? What on earth for?
Conspiracy to rob a bank.
Oh, now. Surely you must be joking.
Your brother's in jail. He led the attempted holdup.
Yes, I know.
Danny's a wild, crazy boy.
I've had to get him out of one scrape after another.
How much is it going to be this time?
Nothing to bother about.
You mean there's some other way.
I mean the trial is set for tomorrow.
But, uh, the last time Danny got into trouble.
I-I gave the Marshal $500
and... it was all arranged.
Hmm. Well, Miss Burton, we don't do that here.
Oh! Oh, I see. Well..
Could I trouble you please to take a message to Danny.
- No trouble.
- Thank you very much.
I'll write it. It'll just take a moment.
Just a few lines to let poor Danny know
that I'm gonna hire him a lawyer.
It'll cheer him up.
Thank you very, very much.
Hal, come on in here, will you?
My deputy.
But you said that you would take it.
I will, but you're under arrest, and Hal will have to stay here.
Oh! What are you doing?
We read all messages to prisoners.
- You'll give that back.
- Easy, ma'am, easy.
He's got no right to..
I..
I just offered you my promissory note
in hopes you'd make things comfortable for Danny.
Are you trying to bribe Wyatt?
Bribe? Oh, no.
That's against the law.
Miss Burton is very upset about her brother.
I'm gonna hold her as a material witness.
She isn't to leave this apartment.
You're gonna leave him in here with me alone?
Miss Burton, my room is across the hall.
You can leave this door open, and Hal can camp in my room
if that makes you feel any better.
Yes, it most certainly will.
Alright. Hal, here's my key.
I'm gonna over and question those prisoners again.
You keep an eye on her until I get back.
- Yes, sir.
- Now, wait a minute.
I'm gonna need a lawyer for Danny and me.
I'll ask judge Tobin to assign one.
And how much will that cost?
Nothing.
I'll see you later.
I, uh..
I was just acting foolish
if you wanna stay in the parlor, it's alright.
Thanks a lot, ma'am.
Wyatt said to use his room.
You make yourself comfortable, Miss Burton.
Comfortable with my poor brother in jail?
Oh, please, won't you help me?
I'd be mighty grateful for some help right now.
Your brother tried to rob a bank.
Two of his men were killed. Mr. Alan was hurt.
Forget it.
Howdy, judge?
Mr. Kelly... the prisoners won't talk.
Wyatt..
We understand you're holding Burton's sister.
That's right.
You think she was involved?
I think she planned the whole deal
and talked her stupid brother into it.
- Can you prove that?
- No, not yet.
Soon as I appoint a lawyer, he'll be at me
with writ of habeas corpus.
She can sue the city for false arrest.
Why don't you just say what you came here to say.
No pretty woman is ever anything but an angel.
- Before a jury, she is.
- Now, let's be practical.
We have an unbeatable case against Burton and his men.
Why drag his sister into it?
Because I feel sorry for Dan Burton and all his colleagues.
Why should they go to prison when Marie
who probably planned the whole thing gets off scot-free
just because she's a woman.
If you make her co-defendant, they may be all acquitted.
I don't think they'll all be acquitted
but the jury'd only give them a year or two.
They sure wouldn't convict a woman.
Just say the word, and I'll turn her loose.
Well, I really think that's the wise course.
Judge wants to make an example outta the rest of them.
They ought to get 10 years. The maximum.
I'll turn her loose.
But she planned that robbery just to spite the bank.
Oh! Oh-h!
What's the matter? What's the matter?
I can't get my breath.
It's my heart. I've had trouble with..
- Here, let me help you.
- No, no.
Get the doctor. Oh, please.
Alright. Alright. I'll get Dr. McCarty.
Wyatt, she's having a heart attack or something.
- I'm going for Dr. McCarty.
- Heart attack?
Just stay out of this.
Hear what he said? Somebody's got a heart attack.
Well, I don't know. It could be serious.
No heart attack, huh?
You let my brother out of jail, or I'll fix you.
You're the one that belongs in jail. You go back to your room...
- I told you...
- Stop it.
- Let me go.
- Stop.
Let me go!
- Get out of here.
- Let me go! Help! Help!
Stop. You, stop it.
Marshal Earp?
Marshal Earp.
No, no. It's alright. You're safe now.
And you, a deacon of the church.
Go get judge Tobin.
No, no. Don't cry. Don't, don't, it only makes..
- Please, help me to my room.
- Yes, I will.
And then he said, if I would..
He'd let my brother escape from jail.
Then he tried to tear my dress..
It was horrible.
There, there. No reason to carry on.
We'll get to the straight of this.
What have you got to say?
I'm waiting for Hal.
Three witnesses saw two struggling in your room.
Judge, I warned you about her.
We are trying to believe you but...
I heard about the trick she pulled on you.
She ought to be run out of town.
You would say that. You're no better than he is.
Oh, where's my lawyer? Please, I want to see my lawyer.
I've met a lot of low-down women in my time, but you are...
- That will do. - Watch your temper.
Sorry.
Are you going to let them lie out of this?
Look at my dress. Look at the bruises on my wrist.
Isn't there one gentleman left in this town?
Now, Ms. Burton, you're a bit hysterical.
You said you had a heart attack and fainted.
I suggest you go into the bedroom and lie down.
The doctor will be here in a few minutes.
He better get here soon. And I want him to testify.
Hal, where was she when you went to get Dr. McCarty?
Right there on the floor. I thought she was dying.
You tell them... why the door to my room happened to be open.
Wyatt told me to wait in his room and watch her.
- Shall I tell 'em what she...
- No.
Let them believe us or fire us.
I told you it was a frame up.
We believe you but hang it all, Wyatt, you know how people talk.
Yeah, I know.
I don't care about the talk. I want that woman out of town.
- She ought to be tried with...
- Take it easy, Hal.
We promised her a lawyer. Maybe, he'll persuade her to leave.
Meantime, we'll try at getting Dan Burton to tell the truth.
Sit down.
Still stubborn and stupid.
You ain't going to turn me against my sister.
- Do you love your sister?
- Of course, I do.
She's trying to frame Hal and me.
I wouldn't put anything past you two.
The court is appointing a lawyer to defend you.
Sure. Marie would see to that.
Well, it's not gonna help. You're going to get the limit.
Well, Marie's in the clear. I'm satisfied.
What about Lance Morfit?
What about him?
Did you say he was coming into Dodge to gun me?
Only if you arrest Marie.
- She's arrested.
- Then, Lance will get you.
- What if I get him?
- Don't be a fool.
Wyatt can give him a full draw and shoot him in both eyes.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Look, hasn't your sister done enough harm?
Now, Lance is a nice young fellow.
Why should she want to add his scalp to her belt.
- There's nothing I can do.
- Yes, there is.
Ask your sister to leave town, take Morfit with her.
You don't know Marie.
Oh, I know her.
I hate to use the words that describe her.
She's always been like that. Ever since I was a kid.
She gets a grudge, and nothing will stop her.
She keeps on nagging until..
She'll send Lance after you.
That's his lookout.
If I have to hurt Morfit, I'll send you sister to prison.
How?
Inciting anyone to gun an officer is penitentiary offence.
We can't prove it that she put you up to the bank robbery.
But we can sure prove it if she sends Lance after Wyatt.
Well, alright. I'll talk to her.
Good. We'll take him to the hotel.
I'll get his hat.
Come on.
Better check those guns, sonny.
Marshal Earp catch you wearing 'em, it's three days in jail.
He'll catch me wearing 'em.
Give me another one.
Remember now, name is Lance Morfit.
You'll find him in one of the saloons.
Tell him to meet me at the hotel
after he finishes his business. He'll understand.
Danny.
- Were you hit bad?
- No. Not bad.
It's going to be alright.
I talked to a lawyer.
I have a wonderful idea for getting you off.
Yeah? How?
Not with them in the room.
I was starting for the jail. Why did they bring you here?
We'll wait outside.
How are you gonna get me off?
We blame it on Pete Brown and the others who got killed.
They forced you to join in the holdup.
Punky will testify to the same thing
I knew you'd do it.
You got me into trouble but always got me out.
Why? Sure.
Why did they bring you here? What's the trick?
It's no trick. Earp doesn't want Lance gunning for him.
Oh.
He says if you stick Lance on him, you can go to prison.
Something about exciting or inciting...
Why? Sure.
I know that. You think I'd be so stupid?
Well, you were sore at Earp, and Hal, and you accused them of...
Just playacting, Dan.
Ah, I see. Just making trouble for the Johnny Laws, huh?
Why, sure. I almost got 'em both fired.
It's all settled, gentlemen. You may come right in.
You can breathe easy now, Mr. Earp.
Lance is back on the ranch at Engle.
Yeah. He ain't gonna gun you.
Well, that's a relief.
Hal, we better take Mr. Burton back to jail.
Sure.
Marie's gonna get me off. She's got a slick idea...
- Dan.
- Oh, yeah. That's right.
Well, see you in court, Marie.
Well?
I suppose you had to lie about it. Couldn't help yourself, huh?
Am I under arrest again?
No.
I see no reason why I have to entertain you. The door is open.
Isn't that Lance Morfit down there?
Why don't you go down and ask him?
You scared?
Your brother, Dan is gonna go to prison.
You sent him out thinking you had some bright legal trick
that would save him.
I might have.
That fellow down there wants to marry you.
You urge me to go down there and kill him?
He'll kill you.
If he doesn't, I will.
Oh.
With this?
I can get another one.
No. You'll be in prison.
Lance might have something to say about that.
Alright, so he outdraws me?
He shot a peace officer.
We can run.
Not far enough or fast enough.
I still say you're scared.
You know, if ever a woman deserved punishment, it's you.
I'm going to probably have to hurt him.
And if that happens..
I certainly want you to see it.
Mr. Morfit, you draw on me, and you'll get hurt.
And Ms. Burton will go to prison.
What's she got to do with it?
She incited you to attack a peace officer.
That's a felony.
I hate to say this, but I hope you do go for your gun.
Ms. Burton ought to be in prison.
Shoot him. He can't draw. Shoot him!
That's close enough, shoot!
Shoot him!
Oh!
You hoodlum!
You get out of town.

They never learn.
Any of your people get hurt?

Wyatt said to use his room.
You make yourself comfortable, Miss Burton.
Comfortable with my poor brother in jail?
Oh, please, won't you help me?
I'd be mighty grateful for some help right now.
Your brother tried to rob a bank.
Two of his men were killed. Mr. Alan was hurt.
Forget it.
Howdy, judge?
Mr. Kelly... the prisoners won't talk.
Wyatt..
We understand you're holding Burton's sister.
That's right.
You think she was involved?
I think she planned the whole deal
and talked her stupid brother into it.
- Can you prove that?
- No, not yet.
Soon as I appoint a lawyer, he'll be at me

It's my heart. I've had trouble with..
- Here, let me help you.
- No, no.
Get the doctor. Oh, please.
Alright. Alright. I'll get Dr. McCarty.
Wyatt, she's having a heart attack or something.
- I'm going for Dr. McCarty.
- Heart attack?
Just stay out of this.
Hear what he said? Somebody's got a heart attack.
Well, I don't know. It could be serious.
No heart attack, huh?
You let my brother out of jail, or I'll fix you.
You're the one that belongs in jail. You go back to your room...
- I told you...
- Stop it.
- Let me go.
- Stop.
Let me go!
- Get out of here.
- Let me go! Help! Help!
Stop. You, stop it.
Marshal Earp?
Marshal Earp.
No, no. It's alright. You're safe now.
And you, a deacon of the church.
Go get judge Tobin.
No, no. Don't cry. Don't, don't, it only makes..
- Please, help me to my room.
- Yes, I will.
And then he said, if I would..
He'd let my brother escape from jail.
Then he tried to tear my dress..
It was horrible.
There, there. No reason to carry on.
We'll get to the straight of this.
What have you got to say?
I'm waiting for Hal.
Three witnesses saw two struggling in your room.
Judge, I warned you about her.
We are trying to believe you but...
I heard about the trick she pulled on you.
She ought to be run out of town.
You would say that. You're no better than he is.
Oh, where's my lawyer? Please, I want to see my lawyer.
I've met a lot of low-down women in my time, but you are...
- That will do. - Watch your temper.
Sorry.
Are you going to let them lie out of this?
Look at my dress. Look at the bruises on my wrist.
Isn't there one gentleman left in this town?
Now, Ms. Burton, you're a bit hysterical.
You said you had a heart attack and fainted.
I suggest you go into the bedroom and lie down.
The doctor will be here in a few minutes.
He better get here soon. And I want him to testify.
Hal, where was she when you went to get Dr. McCarty?
Right there on the floor. I thought she was dying.
You tell them... why the door to my room happened to be open.
Wyatt told me to wait in his room and watch her.
- Shall I tell 'em what she...
- No.
Let them believe us or fire us.
I told you it was a frame up.
We believe you but hang it all, Wyatt, you know how people talk.
Yeah, I know.
I don't care about the talk. I want that woman out of town.
- She ought to be tried with...
- Take it easy, Hal.
We promised her a lawyer. Maybe, he'll persuade her to leave.
Meantime, we'll try at getting Dan Burton to tell the truth.
Sit down.
Still stubborn and stupid.
You ain't going to turn me against my sister.
- Do you love your sister?
- Of course, I do.
She's trying to frame Hal and me.
I wouldn't put anything past you two.
The court is appointing a lawyer to defend you.
Sure. Marie would see to that.
Well, it's not gonna help. You're going to get the limit.
Well, Marie's in the clear. I'm satisfied.
What about Lance Morfit?
What about him?
Did you say he was coming into Dodge to gun me?
Only if you arrest Marie.
- She's arrested.
- Then, Lance will get you.
- What if I get him?
- Don't be a fool.
Wyatt can give him a full draw and shoot him in both eyes.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Look, hasn't your sister done enough harm?
Now, Lance is a nice young fellow.
Why should she want to add his scalp to her belt.
- There's nothing I can do.
- Yes, there is.
Ask your sister to leave town, take Morfit with her.
You don't know Marie.
Oh, I know her.
I hate to use the words that describe her.
She's always been like that. Ever since I was a kid.
She gets a grudge, and nothing will stop her.
She keeps on nagging until..
She'll send Lance after you.
That's his lookout.
If I have to hurt Morfit, I'll send you sister to prison.
How?
Inciting anyone to gun an officer is penitentiary offence.
We can't prove it that she put you up to the bank robbery.
But we can sure prove it if she sends Lance after Wyatt.
Well, alright. I'll talk to her.
Good. We'll take him to the hotel.
I'll get his hat.
Come on.
Better check those guns, sonny.
Marshal Earp catch you wearing 'em, it's three days in jail.
He'll catch me wearing 'em.
Give me another one.
Remember now, name is Lance Morfit.
You'll find him in one of the saloons.
Tell him to meet me at the hotel
after he finishes his business. He'll understand.
Danny.
- Were you hit bad?
- No. Not bad.
It's going to be alright.
I talked to a lawyer.
I have a wonderful idea for getting you off.
Yeah? How?
Not with them in the room.
I was starting for the jail. Why did they bring you here?
We'll wait outside.
How are you gonna get me off?
We blame it on Pete Brown and the others who got killed.
They forced you to join in the holdup.
Punky will testify to the same thing
I knew you'd do it.
You got me into trouble but always got me out.
Why? Sure.
Why did they bring you here? What's the trick?
It's no trick. Earp doesn't want Lance gunning for him.
Oh.
He says if you stick Lance on him, you can go to prison.
Something about exciting or inciting...
Why? Sure.
I know that. You think I'd be so stupid?
Well, you were sore at Earp, and Hal, and you accused them of...
Just playacting, Dan.
Ah, I see. Just making trouble for the Johnny Laws, huh?
Why, sure. I almost got 'em both fired.
It's all settled, gentlemen. You may come right in.
You can breathe easy now, Mr. Earp.
Lance is back on the ranch at Engle.
Yeah. He ain't gonna gun you.
Well, that's a relief.
Hal, we better take Mr. Burton back to jail.
Sure.
Marie's gonna get me off. She's got a slick idea...
- Dan.
- Oh, yeah. That's right.
Well, see you in court, Marie.
Well?
I suppose you had to lie about it. Couldn't help yourself, huh?
Am I under arrest again?
No.
I see no reason why I have to entertain you. The door is open.
Isn't that Lance Morfit down there?
Why don't you go down and ask him?
You scared?
Your brother, Dan is gonna go to prison.
You sent him out thinking you had some bright legal trick
that would save him.
I might have.
That fellow down there wants to marry you.
You urge me to go down there and kill him?
He'll kill you.
If he doesn't, I will.
Oh.
With this?
I can get another one.
No. You'll be in prison.
Lance might have something to say about that.
Alright, so he outdraws me?
He shot a peace officer.
We can run.
Not far enough or fast enough.
I still say you're scared.
You know, if ever a woman deserved punishment, it's you.
I'm going to probably have to hurt him.
And if that happens..
I certainly want you to see it.
Mr. Morfit, you draw on me, and you'll get hurt.
And Ms. Burton will go to prison.
What's she got to do with it?
She incited you to attack a peace officer.
That's a felony.
I hate to say this, but I hope you do go for your gun.
Ms. Burton ought to be in prison.
Shoot him. He can't draw. Shoot him!
That's close enough, shoot!
Shoot him!
Oh!
You hoodlum!
You get out of town.
