The Wistful Widow of Wagon Gap Page #7

Any of you boys want to cut

yourselves in? I'd rather leave.

I was speaking of myself. I

thought you could hold your liquor.

I'm cold sober, Jake. It's just I desire

to settle down in my declining years.

Although the money the little woman

will receive from the railroad...

which is coming through

her property...

has a slight attraction.

So that's it.

If anybody's in line

for that money, it's me.

As the one who really killed

Hawkins, it's high time I confessed.

I'll thank you to appoint me the

family guardian. No deal, Jake.

That's hearsay testimony,

and I can't accept it as evidence.

I'll shoot the butterball and

inherit the family from him!

You'll have

to beat me to it.

Hey, the sheriff is coming

to take you in.

Order! If we're not careful,

we'll be shooting each other.

The judge is right.

It's every man for himself.

But the shot closest to the heart wins.

To avoid argument, mark your bullets.

This thing's got to be done

nice and legal.

Wait a minute!

Chester, go on in there,

but bring 'em out alive.

Don't worry 'bout me.

Worry about yourselves.

Take cover. I don't want

any of you gettin' hurt.

Go on,

take cover!

Here's to the widow. And her money.

May the best shot win.

Here's where I get rich.

I never missed a sheriff

in my life. Here's to it!

Hey!

Here he comes.

Frame, you and your gang

come out with your hands up,

or I'm a-comin' in

a-shootin'!

Now listen, Frame,

someone is liable

to get hurt!

Those dirty skunks,

shootin' at Mr. Wooley!

Isn't it about time somebody

on our side used a gun? It is.

Phil, take 10 men and

break in through the back.

Come with me. We'll draw their

fire to keep 'em up front.

Wooley, you stay here

with the women. Thanks.

Jim Simpson and

the Citizens' Committee.

Barricade the doors

and windows.

Get back here,

you yellow-livered skunks!

This brawl's gonna decide who runs this

town, and it's time you started picking sides.

Unless something or somebody

draws their attention,

Jim and them fellers

are goners!

I'll do it! They won't dare shoot a woman.

No. You have a family to think of.

Chester here'll do it.

Shut up!

But I didn't say...

I didn't say anything.

That's in case you do.

Duke, tell Phil to hurry.

Jim needs help.

When Chester gets there, they'll

stop shooting atJim, but I'll go.

You sure this is gonna work?

Even Frame wouldn't shoot a woman.

Why don't we all go? That's a good...

Wooley, get goin'.

Pick up the clubs, girls.

Lead the way, Wooley.

Go on,

lead the way!

Hold your fire, men.

Hold it.

Hold your fire!

You women go home where you

belong. This is a man's fight.

All right, girls. Forward.

Frame, we're coming in.

The sheriff.

Ohhh!

Hey... Hey...

Hawkins.

Duke!

Oh!

I'll show you we'll have

law and order in this place.

Oh, you poor

little thing.

Frame!

Come on.

Come on.

You might as well quit, boys.

You're all through in this town.

Corral 'em all and take 'em

to the hoosegow.

I'll see that you all get life

and maybe longer!

The federal marshal

will take care of that.

We're ridin' the bunch

into Butte to turn 'em over.

Okay,

you got my permission.

C'mon, everybody.

You better come along.

I wanna talk to you.

Mr. Wooley, the citizens of Wagon

Gap are deeply indebted to you.

You're a fine man, and you've

been carrying another man's burden.

Frame just confessed he was

the man that killed Hawkins.

Chester, at last

we're on our way.

Mr. Wooley, I was kinda hoping

you might have reconsidered...

about hitchin' up. California, here I come.

In that case,

Judge Benbow,

I accept your

proposal of marriage.

Let's go.

Just a minute.

Judge, in regards

to the railroad...

How'd you know? Just got

the offer this morning.

It's gonna make me the

richest woman in these parts.

You chump. If you'd

a-married the widow,

we wouldn't have had to work

the rest of our lives.

You wouldn't, but she'd have found somethin'

for me. You never do anything right.

I don't? Didn't I

clean up all the bandits?

Didn't I make the town of Wagon

Gap safe for women and children?

So safe that nobody

even has to carry a gun?

Giddyap!
