You wanna get rich in this country
you oughta marry a hen! - I did.
Only she can't lay no eggs!
No, not for 200. Not for any amount.
I gotta have a room.
- I tell ya, I just ain't got a room.
Wait a minute.
guest just checkin' out.
Lee Marcus.
Take 24, right on down the hall.
Much obliged.
Wait a minute, Flapjack! Wait!
What you aiming to do?
I'm gettin' me a gun, some liquor
and a gold commissioner.
Snake juice and plenty of it! - What
you doin' in town? Clean Peter out?
If we had, them mangy warthogs
wouldn't have jumped us. - You too?
Sure. We were just
workin' along kind of peaceful-like
when at least 20 of 'em jumped us.
What chance did we have?
You still got your gun, ain't ya?
You mean Flapjack was chased
off his claim and didn't do nothin'?
Oidn't do nothin'?
He polluted their guts with language
that shouldn't be inside of no man!
But what good did it do?
They had the law with 'em.
What are we, a lot of sleepin' Indians
to take a thing like this layin' down?
- I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do.
I'm gettin' me a gun. And anyone that
comes along'll see plenty of action.
If it's action you boys want
the games are open.
The roof's the limit, and if you're
really playful I'll take that off too.
Cherry, that ain't the kind of action
we mean. - Is there some other kind?
Yes, Ma'am. They stole my claim, and I
ain't gonna take it sittin' down!
Oh, you're gonna
do some shootin', Flapjack?
You bet I am!
And some hittin' what I shoot at!
Now, now, now.
Maybe we better think this over.
I don't wanna find you under that old
sycamore, with your feet dangling.
But you grubstaked me to this claim
yourself. - So I have a say in it.
You and Banty have another drink
and stay here.
They jump from one claim to another,
like grasshoppers, Bronco. - Yeah.
Seems you can take away a man's claim
just by filing an affidavit.
So far, they're only the small ones.
- Meaning what?
No reason their system can't work with
the big claims. - Such as the Midas?
With both owners away, why not?
A visit to the gold commissioner?
What's his name? - Alexander McNamara.
Shall I drop in on him?
- No.
First let's do
Ravishing as usual, Miss Malotte.
- glad to see you're out of jail.
A temporary arrangement only. I'll be
back in again by nightfall, I daresay.
Well, well, Miss Malotte!
It's certainly a pleasure to see you.
- Thank you, Mr Montrose.
I want some information
about Flapjack Simm's claim.
Simms?
Here we are. That's been relocated.
Why, a Mr Clark and a Mr Bennett.
We have their affidavit right here.
Oh yes, here we are.
Now, see...
Can I see this, Monte?
You won't mind
if I borrow this, will you, Monte?
Nice place to keep my records, but
the question is, what about access?
You got to that one easy enough.
- Oidn't I?
I'm Cherry Malotte. I suppose you're
Mr McNamara. - g.C. gold Commissioner.
Tell the marshal
I want to see him, Montrose.
Putting me in jail, Mr McNamara?
- Serious business, stealing records.
got some particular case in mind?
I know he made the original discovery.
Clark and Bennett swear they filed in
the spring, but they weren't here yet.
So I want this affidavit as evidence.
Strong talk. But I'm here to protect
the interests of the small owner.
But if you happened to be smart
you could do yourself
a lot of good, couldn't you?
I'm wondering just how smart you are.
Well, I've been educated.
- So have I.
I don't care how you operate
I mean, with two exceptions.
The Simms claim.
- And a certain mine, the Midas.
That's puts us into the big money.
got an interest in the Midas?
Stock?
- No, not exactly.
Oh, personal. One of the partners?
glennister? - We're acquainted.
I don't know much about him, but
I'd say he has good taste. - Thanks.
He does all right in other ways too.
Not a man to be pushed around.
Big feller, eh?
Might he make it interesting
if I wanted
to move into his territory?
Could be tough going, mister.
- But worth it.
So?
What's this I hear
about me arresting Miss Malotte?
No. I want to see Clark and Bennett.
A few questions I want to ask them.
Well, Cherry, I - Some other time.
- You'll always be welcome.
You work fast, commissioner.
- Thank you.
And since you have a safer place
to store papers, you better keep this.
Well, I could be wrong.
If I came into the Northern
some night, would you show me around?
Show you around? Sure.
If it could be done.
goodbye.
And I've been here all this time
Somebody should have told me.
About Clark and Bennett?
- Yeah No!
About Cherry Malotte.
You met McNamara?
- Let's say he met me.
And you found out?
- He's either a very honest man,
or this town
Well, after we ran into bedrock
after diggin' for three weeks
Look, the boat's here!
Come on, you sour-doughs!
The boat's in! Come on!
He's back, Bronco! - You're pretty
sure he's on that boat, aren't you?
If he isn't, I'll find out why not.
- Shall I get the buggy out? - Yes.
Bronco, never mind that buggy.
For once, let him come to me.
Idabelle!
Idabelle, where are you?
Here I is, Miss Cherry.
Here I is.
What are you doing with that dress?
- Just smoothin' it out a bit.
I heard the boat was in. I figured
y'all wanted to meet it in style.
Well, you can unsmooth it again.
What? Mr glennister is sure enough
on that boat. - Sure enough is.
go get a bottle of brandy
and a dozen hard-boiled eggs.
Maybe a dozen bottles and one egg!
Eggs is scarcer than watermelons here!
I don't care. get 'em.
There's two things he goes for
in a big way. One of them is eggs.
I reckon the other's
ice cream, Miss Cherry?
I sure hope there's some
coloured folk on that boat.
I's gettin' mighty tired
pretendin' Eskimos is from Virginia!
She sure makes
Cherry!
I knew you couldn't hold out.
Makes me some kind of a fool,
don't it? - No.
It makes you
the right sort of a gal.
Only it's a shame to turn on
all that good heat for glennister.
You never will like him, will you?
- No. And you know why.
That looks like glennister.
Up you go.
She could be a relative.
Yeah maybe his Aunt Hetty.
Roy, you old sinner! - Cherry!
good to see ya, sport. How are ya?
Better now. For a few minutes
I wasn't so sure.
Oh, this is Helen Chester.
Cherry Malotte.
How do you do, Miss Malotte?
Roy's told me all about you.
No need to ask if you enjoyed
your trip, Miss Chester.
I know Roy's talent
for entertaining on board. Oon't I?
Easy, Cherry.
- Travelling alone, Miss Chester?
No, I'm with my uncle, Judge Stillman.
He's with Roy's partner, Mr Oextry.
"Judge" Stillman? - Yep, the Law.
I'm sure you'll be glad to know
that law and order has come to Nome.
Yes...
It'll be so much easier on the boys if
