Yeah.

Come on.

Sheriff, you gotta help us.

He's gone.

Yeah. Wait. I'll get

one of these.

Milford, be careful.

I know Jesse. He's dangerous.

Look for some ammunition.

You fool.

You might hit Jesse.

Down, Mr. Quesely.

What are you trying to do, ruin me?

I got no time to talk to you. I'm

gonna get killed in a minute.

You'll get killed when I tell you to.

I've sent for the proper authorities.

They'll handle this.

Hey, you ruffians.

Put down those guns.

I'm making a citizen's arrest.

I say that...

Mr. Quesely!

Mr. Quesely!

Mr. Quesely!

There you are, Mr. Quesely.

Have one on me.

Milford, look.

Look what I found.

Darling, are you all right?

Yeah, you're all right.

Is he dead?

No.

He's one of those

sneak-drinkers.

Here, stop making a pig of yourself.

Look, Milford.

He's mine.

You got him.

Of course.

I had him surrounded.

Here, notch that.

I'll get him.

That got 'em.

That's one more.

Notch it again.

Well, back to the wagon.

Wonderful, Milford.

You want more?

Well, another one for Boot Hill.

I'll bet they're sorry

they ever tangled with me.

Happy trails to you.

You hot little heater.

You want a teddy bear, baby? Stand by.

Frank, give me a light.

Shoot at my friend, will you?

Make smaller notches.

I may run out of handle.

I never saw such shooting.

A little high.

I'm slicing again.

Yep.

Man, do I handle this thing.

Milford, I think there's a man

behind that barrel.

Give me that rifle.

Poor fool, he never had a chance.

Paleface bite dust.

Somebody's been smuggling guns

to the Indians.

Anybody left out there?

This is the shot I've been waiting for.

All right, stick your head up, I dare you.

This fellow needs all the help he can get.

Man, I didn't know he could shoot like that.

Yeah.

All right, drop those guns

or I'll show no mercy.

Anything you say, Milford.

Throw down your guns, boys.

There they are.!

I didn't think they'd give up that easily.

How about that?

Wonderful job!

Watch my trigger finger.

It was one of my shorter battles,

but I don't want to take all the credit.

Here's the gal, right here.

She helped load my guns.

It was nothing.

Nothing at all.

If I've done anything to restore

law and order to this community,

I just want to tell you

that I've been amply rewarded.

And I mean amply.

Milford.

Yes, Mayor.

In gratitude for what you've done,

the citizens of Angel's Rest are

going to erect a statue of you

right on this very spot.

Milford. Just think,

a statue of you, right here.

Not yet, you fools.

Not yet.

Wait till they build.

I tell you, insurance

is a must for everyone.

I wouldn't be without it.

I carry protection against

every possible contingency.

I have life insurance, health insurance,

fire, accident, horseless carriage,

lightning, collision, flood,

personal liability...

Mrs. Farnsworth is here.

Good.

Send her in.

Will you excuse me?

Think it over.

Hello, my darling.

Cora Lee.

Milford.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Daddy.

Daddy. Daddy. Daddy.

Well, you can't get insurance

against everything.

Daddy. Daddy. Daddy.
