white man in the whole territory.

I can't understand why

they ain't attacked already.

Maybe they're waitin'

for this.

Where'd you get

that dynamite?

Two loads came in

on the wagon train.

Someone's gonna pick it up,

and we got to find out who.

What's your plan?

Whoever killed Jim Hunter found out

there was a federal agent after him.

They didn't know

who it was.

I steered 'em

onto the wrong party.

A husband I picked up in Fort

Deerfield, name of Painless Potter.

They'll kill him, sure.

That's right.

They'll think the federal

agent's dead. Then I can operate.

Hi.

Hi.

Where's the high life

around here?

Right over in the Dirty

Shame Saloon. Spread out.

Isn't he a dandy?

He's a humdinger.

Here he comes,

folks!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Gentlemen!

Gentlemen!

We have a celebrity

in our midst.

It's a rare privilege to shake the hand of the

greatest Indian fighter west of the Mississippi.

You can include

the east, too, son.

Watch it. Watch it. My trigger finger.

I'd consider it an honor

if you would join me.

Heard you, partner.

Heard you.

You were sayin'?

What'll you have,

my friend?

Never mind

the chaser.

Gonna be in town long?

How 'bout a dance?

Now, wait a minute. Wait a

minute. Don't fight over me, gals.

I'll be around a while.

Good.

Take it slow. This could become habit for

me. Move in, honey. Don't get shut out.

- Tell us how you did it.

Yes, sir. Stand by.

I may raffle myself

off later.

# This town

# Oh, honey

# The West ain't rough enough #

# You'll see how

I behave #

# When we're alone, honey #

# You'll be possessin'

my best caressin' #

# I'll be your own honey #

# You're the kind

to make me lose my mind #

You got a cigar

on ya, sister?

Come on, handsome, let's

dance. Take me away.

Look.

Its Joe!

Its Joe!

Don't do it, Joe.

This guy is a killer.

What's the trouble, stranger? I don't

like nobody foolin' around my gal.

Yeah, well,

I got news for ya.

I ain't foolin'.

Now, get.

You ain't scarin' nobody.

This town ain't big enough for you and

me! I'll give you 'til sundown to get out.

That's the usual time,

ain't it?

At sundown, I'll be out

lookin' for you! I'll be waitin'!

And I'll be lookin'.

He plumb riled me.

Four fingers

of red eye.

I always feel like a drink

before a killin'.

The thumb too.

Nothin' stronger,

huh?

The sun's almost down,

honey.

Yeah.

This little doll is just

itchin' for another notch.

Here, wear this

for good luck.

Yeah, but men don't wear these-

oh, yeah, sure, kid. Thanks.

Hey, listen. The man that's

after you just killed my brother.

Here's a tip. He draws from

the left, so lean to the right.

He draws from the left,

so lean to the right.

Son, I'll let you in

on somethin'.

Long towards sunset,

there's a wind from the east,

so you better aim

to the west.

Draws from the left, so lean to the right.

A wind from the east, so aim to the west.

I know this Joe like a book. He crouches

when he shoots, so stand on your toes.

Draws from the left, so lean to the right.

A wind from the east, aim to the west.

He crouches when he shoots,

so stand on your toes. Thanks.

Hey, Mrs. Potter, your

husband's mixed up in a gunfight!

Well, that problem's

taken care of.

He draws from the left,

so stand on your toes.

There's a wind from the east,

better lean to the right.

He crouches when he shoots,

better aim to the west.

He draws from his toes, so lean

towards the wind. Aha! I got it!

Why ya-

Watch it.

Watch it.

Better warm up

a little.

Wind shifted.

Either way,

he wins.

He draws from the wind,

so lean when you stand.

No.

He stands on his crouch

with his toes in the wind.

No.

Pfft!

Shh.

All right, Potter.

Hooray for Painless Potter!

How do ya like that? Tried to fool

me. Didn't crouch with the wind.

What's

the idea?

I nearly made a mistake.

There's an old saying: "When you're

huntin' a mountain lion, stake out a goat. "

Yeah, the lion gets the goat and

- we get the lion.

We had better get rid of the

dynamite. Get a hold of Yellow Feather.

Now you try and find out where

they're hidin' that dynamite.

And I'll round up

our goat.

I'd have got him sooner but

I tripped. There's work for ya.

Stick around,

I'll make you wealthy.

Hurry, boys, I may have

to pose for a statue.

Fooled ya that time,

didn't I?

I have to be a hero.

Oh, you great big, wonderful man. I told

you my garter would bring you good luck.

Oh, thanks. Lucky thing I had a gun too.

How 'bout a great big

smack for Pepper? Well- -

Sounds like

a good idea.

I don't want anybody

foolin' with my man!

I've come back

to you, darlin'.

What's that,

stranger?

I didn't realize how much I loved you

until I saw how brave you were. Forgive me.

Well, you didn't come crawlin' back on

your hands and knees, but I'll weaken.

You may kiss my cheek.

Should we go to our room,

dear? That seems fair.

My arm, Mrs. Potter.

Nah, over here.

That's my shootin' side.

Be right with you,

honey.

There, that ought to

take care of the tourists.

Gee, I never thought I'd find

a girl who would fight over me.

Boy, when you hit her with that right, I

- Remember, I'm on your side.

Why, of course, dear. I'm your

wife. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot.

Yeah. Come.

Come close to me,

wifey.

Oh, that was delightful!

Let's try another one, huh?

You poor kid. I'm

sorry I had to do that.

What's the matter with me?

I must be gettin' soft.

Hank!

Guns.

Dynamite.

Undertaker's parlor.

You'll find the men that- -

Hank.

Painless!

Painless.

Wake up. Wake up. He crouches

when he shoots, so aim to the- -

Jane. Painless, do you love me?

Oh, I'm

- I'm yours, body and soul.

Will you do anything for me without

asking questions? Naturally, darling.

Well, then listen carefully. There's

dynamite hidden in the undertaker's parlor.

Someone's gonna come callin' for it tonight

and I want you to find out who they are.

Are you tryin' to get

rid of me again?

I can't tell you why now, but

this is important. You must go.

I don't "must" anything. Any girl

would be tickled to be alone...

with a guy who's killed 14

Indians for her, but not you!

Every time we're alone, you try to give

me the heave-ho. Twenty years of my life.

Our whole life together

depends on this. Will you go?

What if I don't? What

then? I couldn't blame you.
