Heller in Pink Tights Page #8

Synopsis: Nineteenth century Wyoming: the wild West. Mild-mannered Tom Healy has a two-wagon theater troupe hounded by creditors because Angela, his leading lady and the object of his affection, constantly buys clothes. In Cheyenne, they meet with applause, so they hope to stay awhile: the theater owner likes Angela, and she keeps him on a string. She's also the object of the attentions of Mabry, a gunslinger who's owed money by the richest man in Bonanza. Complications arise and the troupe heads for Bonanza, through hostile Indian territory. Is the troupe doomed to a peripatetic life, is Mabry in danger, and does Tom stand a chance with Angela, a hellion in pink tights?

to present to thee my homage,

but ancient custom does not permit...

a Palatine of Poland

to offer his vows in person...

till after a solemn ceremony.

The Countess's coronet must be presented

to the intended...

and she returns her ring in exchange.

From that moment,

she is his affianced bride.

My envoy this day will come

on this very important mission.

Good night, my sweet Olinska.

- Who art thou?

- Thy rival.

Have at thee.

That is my assassin.

Remove the mantle that conceals the wretch.

- Healy.

- Take it easy. Just enjoy the show.

- Back, Olinska.

- No!

He shall suffer the punishments inflicted

on rebel slaves.

I'm getting out of here. You listen to me.

There's an old mine just north of town.

- I can wait there for you till morning.

- I can't get the money by then.

- Mabry.

- In a minute.

Look, you're in my neck of the woods.

You want me to save your life?

Then come on.

I'll be waiting for you.

Now, launch the traitor forth!

It's Mabry!

Well, he made it. He got a...

- Don't be too long, Mama.

- I won't, Della.

- Snoogie, come have supper with us.

- Later.

Snoogie, forget her or don't forget her,

but we can settle down now.

- We've got a theater.

- All right, come on, Mama.

- Are you coming, Tom?

- I'll meet you later.

Let's go, Mama.

You can't say we didn't open with a bang.

I'm sorry I took so long.

First to find that silly man, and then

to get him to open that silly bank.

And that ride.

I thought I would never find Mabry.

But I had to give him back his $5,000.

He helped us so much.

I didn't want him to think

I would cheat him.

You got $5,000?

- That was all I owed him.

- In the middle of the night?

Some things are easier to get at night.

And this time I could put up real security.

- What did you put up?

- The Healy Theater.

The theater? This is in my name.

I signed your name.

Mrs. Thomas Healy.

But the man said it was all right.

He thinks we'll be a big success in Bonanza.

Of course, we'll have to stay here for a...

I know.

I haven't been asked yet.

- I ask you, Angie.

- Thank you.

I have to put out the lights.

But it was wrong of you to hit Mabry.

- He hit me first.

- That's no excuse.

It's against your nature.

And I want a man of your nature, not his.

- Angie.

- Also, you are much stronger than he is.

You could have hurt him.
