The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap Page #5

California. What are you talking about?

The gold shipment

is coming in Thursday.

All I've got to do

is tell Frame.

He'll give us horses

and the money.

You can't tell him that.

He's the one they suspect.

Suspect of what? Of all

the stagecoach robberies.

Oh, what am I gonna do? Tell him the

shipment's going through Wednesday.

You'll be doing yourself and the

Citizens' Committee a big favor.

Tell him Wednesday?

Yes!

When he finds out,

what will he do to me?

We'll be on our way

to California. C'mon.

Mr. Frame... Wednesday. Good.

When do we get the horses? They'll

be in the barn Wednesday night...

after I've checked

your information.

Mr. Frame...

You and your big ideas.

Now I'm in

worse trouble.

If you tell Frame the truth,

think of the hole it'll putJim in.

Duke, if Frame

finds out I'm lying,

think of the hole

he'll put me in!

I was just

coming home.

I'll take care of you later. Where's

Juanita? She should be home in bed.

Keep your hands in your pocket

She should be, but she ain't.

That's her voice! She's

in there. We just left.

Now you're

going back in.

Find Jim Simpson and bring

him here. Lead the way, Wooley.

You heard what Ma said!

"Lead the way, Wooley. "

Make the cash box ring

ting-a-ling

Before the night's

any older

Set 'em up, Bill

and fill up the till

If you have gold

then you're welcome

Juanita? Juanita!

Shut up,

yourselves!

You can have what's nice

if you have the price

Wooley, drag her off

that stage!

Me?

Yes, you!

Ain't you the one that forbid her

to set a foot in this place?

Go on!

Go ahead!

You've got everything I want Juanita?

Your mama wants you to go home! Sit down!

Get her off there,

Wooley!

Juanita, you've gotta

come home with the family.

Juanita, come on home.

Your mama wants you!

Juanita, c'mon home! Wait a

minute. Frame says let her stay.

I say, take her out!

Stop that!

Ow!

Ohhh!

Leave that child alone!

Are you gonna let her

get up on that stage?

Are you? Go ahead and shoot

me and inherit this family.

Go ahead.

Not me.

Oh, c'mon. Oh, no. I don't want 'em.

You don't want 'em?

Quiet, all of you.

He don't want 'em!

Oh.

Anybody else

want my job?

Eh?

No.

Eh? Anybody

wanna take my job?

Juanita, you heard

your mother. Home.

C'mon. Home. Come on!

Wooley!

Look at that.

Not a man in town

who'd dare lay a hand on him.

Jim, are you thinking

the same thing I am?

I am.

There you are, Chester.

Now you can take your place with

the famous sheriffs of the West.

Why didn't you hire one

of them? They're all dead.

They're all dead? Dead!

Don't worry, Chester.

Keep this picture

and show it when you have to,

and you'll bear

a charmed life.

Suppose I should happen to

meet some nearsighted gunman?

That'll be his tough luck. Oh, I see.

If he kills me, he'll have

to take care of the widow.

That would make him

a dead duck.

And me too.

Where's the sheriff?

Where's the sheriff?

There's gonna be lead flyin'.

Some drunk's fixin' for a fight.

Chester?

Where'd he go?

He went thataway.

Chester, get up.

This is your big chance.

Tell 'em to stop the shooting, or you'll

run 'em all in! Show 'em you're not afraid.

Throw out your chest.

They'll fill it full of holes.

Go ahead! Don't push!

All right, don't push.

I didn't get this badge

for nothin'.

Go ahead.

That boy's got what it

takes. I don't wanna go.

I'll go!

You get us some

law and order, Wooley,

and we'll get the railroad

to come through Wagon Gap yet!

I'm donating you in the interest

of good government.

Me and the family are with

you. I'm depending on it.

Oh, yes.

Ohhh.

Mrs. Hawkins? Oh, go on down

there and act like a sheriff,

or I'll send you to the ranch and

really put you to work. All right.

Law and order.

If you had any nerve, you'd go

in there and stop them yourself.

If this doesn't work... You'll think of

something else for somebody else to do.

I'm in town

for a good time, see?

I'll blast your heads

off! Stop disgracin' me!

Haven't you got any red blood in your

veins? Yes, and I'm gonna keep it there.

Go on in!

Don't move, anybody.

If you're tired oflivin',

we'll shoot it out.

I don't want another word

outta any of you!

Oh, no, you don't!

Now you fellows in here will

have to stop shootin'...

because you're makin'

a lot of noise.

The horses are jumpin' up

and down, scarin' the women.

Now remember...

don't aggravate me.

No more shootin'.

Now look, everybody!

This shooting

has gotta stop.

Hey, little boy.

You! Fat little boy.

You!

Come here, little boy.

What're you doin'

wearing a man's pants?

I'm the new sheriff.

I want law and order.

You take care of the law,

and I'll order.

What'll you have? I don't drink

whiskey. It goes to my head.

That's just great.

I'll put it on your head,

and I'll shoot it off.

That's much better.

The other way I get sick.

What am I sayin'? Get it back

up there, or I'll drill you!

Mister, please don't.

I didn't want this mess.

I didn't ask to be sheriff.

It's all her fault.

Go ahead and shoot me.

You can have her.

The Widow Hawkins.!

That drunk I'm not.

Everybody up! Everybody up! You heard...

Shut up. Get those tables up. Yes, sir.

Put your shootin'irons

on the table.

Get 'em up there.!

Hey, you,

get this roof fixed!

You heard the sheriff.

Get this roof... Shut up.!

From now on, I want you all

to treat me with respect...

and very little of that.

Go on back to your tables.

You heard the sheriff.

Shut up!

Yes, sir.

Go on!

You heard the sheriff!

Land sakes,

he's done it.

That's my boy. You can

all go back to your homes.

There'll be no more shootin'

in Wagon Gap.

The sawed-off runt's scared.

What sawed-off runt are you

calling a sawed-off runt?

You, fatso. Any objections? Yeah!

Oh, I must've meant

somebody else.

I guess you did.

Yeah.

Here.

You're too young

to smoke cigarettes!

Just a minute.

I don't want you calling anybody a

sawed-off runt, or I'll run you outta town.

And I'm the sawed-off runt

that can do it too! Yes, sir.

Chester,

you're wonderful!

I'm proud of you. Ma'am, while

I'm wearing this badge of office,

I'll have no huggin'

and chalkin' in public.

And another thing, that goes

for any other place too.

Mr. Wooley,

I'm apologizing.

Don't let it happen again,

ma'am. I won't, Chester.

See what I mean?

I'm not to be trifled with.

I wouldn't overdo it. If you get the

widow mad, she'll really pour it on.

Oh. So you're

still hangin' around...

tryin' to tell me what to do. Oh, now...

Listen, you! If you don't start

working and show some means of support,

I'm gonna run you in as a

vagrant! Chester, I'm your pal.

You owe everything to me.

And I'm a man that pays off.

I'm gonna start paying you off.

I'm gonna make you my deputy.

You really are my pal! You like that?

Swell. Your first duty is get to

the ranch and take over my chores.

Me? Yes, you! You've been

bossing me around long enough.

The worm has turned,
