The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again Page #6

[Big Mac]

Well, good.

Yes. [Chuckling] Well, here.

We'll give you a chance to prove it.

[Chuckling]

Well, now that's

what I call shootin'.

Maybe we can

use you boys.

Uh, are you gentlemen

prisoners here?

When we feel like it.

It ain't all that surprisin'

when you know the story.

See, Bridger here

was built by army prisoners.

When they was digging the foundation,

they found these caverns.

[Chuckling]

A few of the boys just

kept it under their hat.

Figured they'd use it later

to bust out.

[Chuckles]

But it turned out to be

the perfect hideout.

Now, where's the last place the

law would look for a person that

was robbin' a supply wagon?

Why, that's a toughie.

Now, where is the last place...

- Prison.

- Huh?

You got a head

on you, boy.

Just barely.

So we figured why bust out

and be on the dodge

the rest of our lives.

Stay in prison and run the whole

operation from here. Live like kings.

Come and go when we want.

Feel the need for a little relaxation,

a little female companionship...

we just ride into town.

Makes life in prison

very comfortable.

Does Warden Waddell

know about this?

No! Nobody does,

but the seven of us.

Well, nine of us now

and the outside man.

- Who's that?

- You'll meet him when the time comes.

The outside man lets us know

when there's a wagon...

or a shipment coming through

with somethin' worthwhile on it.

He gets a cut

for his trouble.

You'll get yours too

if you handle yourselves

all right.

We'll be watching ya.

[Chuckles]

We'll slip into town

one or two at a time.

- You two know where your spot is?

- The Variety Saloon.

I want everyone

in place at 12:
00 sharp.

And you better be there.

12:
00 sharp.

Don't worry.

Giddap!

Come on!

You know, Theodore.

Robbin' army payroll

ain't exactly goin' straight.

We ain't robbed no payroll yet, Amos,

and we ain't goin' to.

I'm thinkin' on a plan.

Better come up with it by noon.

If you don't have it by noon...

Wait for me.

All we gotta do

is have the sheriff in this town...

Iock us up

under protective custody.

Then we just lay back and let him

handle the rest. We'll be heroes.

If you're looking for Sheriff Vaughn,

he's over at the Widow Bradshaw's.

Seems a fox has been gettin'

into her chicken house again.

Hmm! Usually takes the sheriff

about a week to settle the matter.

- A week?

- Yeah, we can't... A week?

We can't wait a week.

I mean, already the little hand's

on 12, big hand's on 11.

You need a lawman, the federal marshal's

down at the Variety's.

- Let's go! Come on!

- Hey, Theodore.

Are we in more trouble here

or back in Junction City?

When you're in this much trouble,

it can't get worse.

[Clears Throat] Howdy.

Uh, we're lookin' for the marshal.

We've got a marshal here, of sorts.

But I don't know as he can handle

your complaint though.

- I'm sure he can.

- Oh, sure he can. Where is he?

Right over there.

- [Groaning]

- It's the famous Marshal

Woolly Bill Hitchcock.

He's just a shell of a man he was

before the Apple Dumpling Gang

got away from him.

- Shall I wake him up?

- [Both] Uh, no, no.

- Let him sleep. We're just leaving.

- Thank you very much.

- Where's the backdoor?

- In the back.

Amos!

[Screams]

It's noon.

Whiskey.

Where's the two

new gunslingers?

They'll be here.

They better.

Where we goin'?

I can't see.

I don't know.

Just act nonchalant.

- Hey, look, a couple of girls.

- [Men Whistling]

[Both Stammering]

[Man] Come down here, girls.

Let's dance!

- Remember them?

- The bank robbers?

- [Man] Play a tune, Charlie.

Maybe they'll dance.

- Big Mac.

[Piano, Cancan]

Woolly Bill.

- They're all here.

- Hey, come on!

- What are we gonna do?

- We're gonna dance. Come on.

[Men Cheering, Whooping]

- How long do we have to

keep this up, Theodore?

- I don't know.

- Come on. Let's dance.

- [Gasps]

Hey, play something

we can dance to.

[Moans]

Whoops.

["My Darling Clementine"]

Come on, honey.

Don't play hard to get.

- You're for me. I like mine

with a little meat on 'em.

- [Mock Laughter]

Ain't we seen you two gals

somewhere before?

- [Falsetto Voice]

We do get around.

- Ah.

Been a long time since I had

my arms around a little hug

and squeeze like you.

[Falsetto Voice]

I bet you say that to all the girls.

- [Mock Laughter]

- [Man Laughing]

Nah.

We gotta get out of here

or we're in big trouble.

Oh, I don't know.

Mine's a pretty good dancer.

It's gettin' late.

Yeah.

We better get out of here.

If I ever get my hands

on those two, I'll kill 'em.

You know, I can't get over the feelin'

that I've seen you somewheres afore.

Oh, I'm just another pretty face.

[Chuckles]

Listen, gorgeous.

Why don't we get out of here?

- I'd sure like to get to know

you a little bit better.

- [Mock Laughter]

[Coughing]

[Braying]

Hey, Teresa.

Look, it's Clarise.

- [Gasps]

- Uh, Teresa, Clarise is back.

- Let's get out ofhere!

- [Grunts]

Thanks for the dance, honey.

- Come on!

- Come on, Clarise.

- Theodore!

- [Moaning]

[Gasps]

[Chuckles]

[Theodore]

Amos. Amos.

[Screaming]

- You okay, Theodore?

- You bet, Pard. Thanks.

Get me down!

Get me down from here.

Let's get outta here!

- Wait a minute, Theodore.

Where's Clarise?

- Amos, forget about her!

- Clarise!

- Amos, come on!

Come on, Clarise.

Amos! Come on, Amos!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, you two!

Excuse me.

Is this seat taken?

Well, I still feel funny

about Clarise, Theodore.

Will you forget about that!

A deal's a deal.

At least we're puttin' some miles

between us and Big Mac.

You got a point there. I guess we can

kind of relax and just sit...

- [Gasps] Hey! Isn't that, uh...

- [Gasps]

That's Reno and Blainey

and the whole bunch of'em.

They're comin'right at us.

Duck!

- Let's get on board.

- Now, move it, you guys.

We ain't got much time.

[Conductor]

All aboard!

They're comin' in here.

- Are you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?

- That army payroll.

- It's on this train!

- Let's get outta here!

- [Train Starts Moving]

- [Both Scream]

[Grunts]

[Gasps]

You!

We can't go on meeting

like this, Miss Gaskill.

Or is it Mrs. Ravencroft?

Well, there's been

a slight delay in our plans.

Wonderful.

- What are you doin'?

- Just something I've wanted

to do for a long time.

My, if you would've put

the same amount of effort

into somethin' worthwhile, why...

Get back to your seat

and stay there.

Who are you to be telling me

what to do?

I am Captain Jeff Phillips

of Army Intelligence...

and I'm on special duty here

trying to find out who's behind these...

- military supply robberies

at your father's fort.

- Captain?

We'll have time

to talk about it later.

There's a large

army payroll on this train.

I have reason to believe

they're gonna try and get it.

- I don't want you shot

before we get married.

- Married?

Now get in there

and stay put.

[Sighs]

[Man]

Over here, Mac.

It's, uh, not that

I don't trust you, Mac.

But since it's cash this time,
