But it has been done, hasn't it?

So they tell me. It's a fair gamble,

especially if there's no limit.

There's no limit here.

Anything you can win, you can collect.

McNamara, we wanna talk to you.

Some of us ain't satisfied with you.

Circuit court be here in a day or so.

That's the place to make complaints.

We don't care about no courts. There

was no trouble before you came here.

You're not tryin' to tie me in

with it, are you? - Suppose we are?

Alright, alright! Fight's over!

get back to your tables!

Pete! Oanny!

Pick 'em up and throw 'em out.

We'll have no brawls here.

Unless they're over me.

Thanks, that's one I owe ya.

- I hope I didn't make a mistake.

Meaning you've got an idea

I might have had it coming?

There's just a chance

the whole town could be wrong.

So long, sport.

Nice lad, glennister. His pants need

a bit of pressing, but a nice lad.

You promised to show me around,

remember?

I haven't forgotten.

Some other time.

Hold on there. Stay where you are.

Who are ya and what do ya want?

I'm Jonathon Struve, representative

for the gold Commissioner.

I'm here to serve notice on you.

Oon't get scared, Mr Struve.

This old elephant gun of mine

just gets spells now and then.

But there's one thing she can't stand,

and that's legal hocus-pocus!

You're gonna regret this!

Mr galloway has filed legal action,

and you're gonna have to answer

Behave yourself, Betsy!

Oon't mind Betsy, Mr Struve.

That's just her way of sayin' goodbye.

Judge Stillman will hear about this.

He'll know how to handle things.

Nice work, Oex.

Helen!

Wanted to see a gold mine, eh?

- What was all the shooting?

Just Oex's way of informing lawyers

they can't serve papers here.

You mean a court order?

- Yeah, that's what they call it.

We've got a different name for it.

- My uncle must have signed it.

Which doesn't make it so funny.

- Why not?

Because it isn't a laughing matter.

The country needs law and discipline.

I've heard you say so yourself.

It's impossible for anybody to file

an honest claim to this property.

When Oex and I made this strike

there was hardly anyone here.

Well, if you can prove that

- We can prove it, alright.

And we're gonna hang on to this.

Nobody's gonna take it away from us.

You both know Uncle Horace.

You know his decision will be just.

Sure. Maybe we were a little hasty.

But you didn't come out here

to talk about the law.

Here's my cabin on the hill.

Beautiful view from there.

Come on, I'll show you around.

Where is Mr glennister's pipe and

tobacco? - Under the couch. Leave it.

What kinda talk is that?

It don't do yourself no good,

lettin' yourself go. I knows that!

What are you doing? Leave it.

And what's all this junk?

What's wrong?

Oidn't ya say Mr glennister's comin'?

Yes, but that's all. Take that away.

- I ain't gonna do no such thing.

You gotta start out right with a man.

You put that tray down.

I'm gonna put it somewhere

where he can't find it.

I could murder you.

- Hiya, sport.

Oex passed me the good word, and I

came right along. Brandy and eggs!

You never forget a thing, do ya, baby?

You're fired, Idabelle.

- Yes, Ma'am.

Would you hold this, darling?

I didn't send for you

for the reason you've got in mind.

I must be in the wrong place.

Who lives here?

Nobody you're on friendly terms with.

Idabelle, take that tray and get out!

- Oh no ya don't! This stays here!

Ooes I or don't I take that tray?

Alright. If there's anything else that

ya wants, ya calls and hopes.

So it's all over, eh?

No more little champagne suppers,

or playing on the piano together?

It's a long, cold winter, sport.

But we're through, eh?

You seem to be set up for the winter.

I sent for you to talk about Oextry.

But you won't mind

if I slip in a few words about us?

Oextry's got an idea that

McNamara and Stillman are crooked,

hiding behind a law and order front.

- Oex is full of suspicions.

But we can talk about that later.

When you gonna get off that perch?

But Oex could be right. And if he is,

what about your little Miss Chester?

Nice gal as gals go.

And really refined, isn't she?

A lady all over.

She probably wouldn't know how to use

a man for a chump, right? - Worried?

About you?

Why should I be?

You're much too smart, aren't you?

New dress?

I hope she doesn't just

take your mine off you.

I imagine that dress

is supposed to have a chilling effect.

Well, if it is, it isn't working.

You'd look good to me in a burlap bag.

Here.

You're so sure of yourself, huh?

Everything arranged for your

convenience. You just can't lose.

Well, see what you can do with this!

Nice aim you got there, baby!

Only, I think it's time we understood

each other a bit better. Come here!

I'm warning you Roy!

You've got it coming.

I don't know what you have in mind

about Helen Chester and me,

but there's nothing to it.

From now on, things are gonna be done

my way. So get used to the idea.

And that's my way.

Like it?

I guess that's what's you'd call

puttin' it right on the line.

That's good enough for me, sport.

Final curtain, eh?

I did that beautifully, didn't I?

Maybe this is a good time

for a man to speak his piece.

You know, Cherry, you could do worse

than with a dude like me.

You could peddle this joint. We could

slip off to Frisco. I got connections.

get back to your table, Bronco.

I didn't know he dug himself in

so deep. Calls for tears, eh?

Tears? You know me better than that.

get below.

You're the boss.

What the devil's the matter with you?

Hey, Flapjack, here they come!

Just what we been waitin' for.

Come on, Banty!

Oextry!

What's wrong? - They're a-comin', Oex.

- A whole gang of 'em!

get your guns, boys,

and get ready for action!

get your gun, Roy.

Where's your gun?

- Have an idea I won't need it.

And you better let me do the talking.

You can be too quick with Betsy.

They ain't gonna move in on my mine!

Stay right where you are, gents!

That's far enough.

I'm here again to serve ya. You gonna

accept it, or do we have to use force?

We're not accepting any papers.

- You heard him. We gotcha covered.

We're not looking for trouble.

You'd better talk to Judge Stillman.

Ain't nothin' to talk about. We own

a mine. We aim to keep it. - Easy.

You and the judge can come up.

The rest of you stay on your horses.

I'm sorry my first visit

has to be an official one.

Talk right from there, Judge.

Betsy here's gettin' nervous.

I realize how you gentlemen feel,

but I wish

you'd try to see my situation.

Once the ownership of your mine

has been legally established

it can never be disputed again.

There's no better title insurance

than a sound court decision.

Suppose we give ya this co-operation,

what happens then?

Until the case is heard

a receiver operates the Midas,

the takings being held aside

subject to a court order.

That's all. And when I open court

your case will heard immediately.

What happens to the gold in our safe?
