[Announcer]
Cowhands on a hoo-rah
Weren't the only
Troublemakers in dodge city
When wyatt earp was marshal.
- There were tough
Buffalo hunters...
- [g*nsh*t]
...who went on sprees
In dodge.
And there were the
Railroad construction gangs
Of the santa fe,
Who tried to make good
Their boast that dodge
Was hell on wheels.
In , these two groups
Of hoodlums fought each other
For possession of the
Dance hall run by dora hand,
The queen of dodge city's
Night life.
Dora hand, a beautiful
And mysterious young woman
Who was a legend
In her own lifetime.
Men shot or maimed one another
In fights over dora and the
Girls of her dance hall.
[Clamoring]
Come on!
Cut him up!
You got him!
You got him, rogan!
[Bottle shatters]
Why'd you do that?
That was rogan.
- [All clamoring]
- [Wyatt] the fight's over!
Take it easy.
Now what's all this about?
It was just an argument,
Marshal.
There's no need to arrest
Them. They'll behave.
Take them both
To jail, hal.
Come on.
Now look, miss dora,
This is the third fight
You've had in here
Since noon.
Sam, drinks
On the house.
Marshal.
I'll take one
Of those drinks...
I would have broken it up.
The men listen to me.
That buffalo hunter
Would have cut him
To ribbons.
Well, the railroad man
Started it.
Look, you've got
A rough mixture here--
Buffalo hunters
And railroad men.
You're gonna have to
Make up your mind to bar
One crowd or the other.
That's not easy,
Marshal.
What about the cowhands
And the soldiers?
No, what I need are
Bigger and braver barkeeps.
They'll stop all
The rough stuff.
Miss dora, that isn't
Gonna work either.
There have always been
Fights on this side
Of the line.
When men drink and argue
About women,
There are
Bound to be fights.
Not with knives and g*ns,
They're not gonna fight.
What's this leading to,
Marshal?
Are you planning
To close me?
I sure don't want to,
Miss dora, but--
Keep out of this.
I only want to
Make a suggestion
To marshal earp.
Just say in your report
The hoo-rah was at my place.
That way she
Won't get mentioned
In the papers.
No! Keep out of it!
Mr. Kelly is in one
Of his gallant moods
This evening.
I handle my own
Beefs, kelly.
You hit one of them
On the head with
A whiskey bottle.
Is that ladylike?
I told you you could
Never make a lady
Out of me!
What did you do to jim?
Are you a hypnotist
Or something?
No, ma'am.
Earp ain't any
Friend of mine.
Don't try to string me!
Earp's got you
Acting respectable.
Councilman kelly,
They call him.
The law and order man.
This is between us.
You can say I'm
A public nuisance
And close me, I guess.
- Oh, no, now!
- Oh, shut up!
What's the verdict,
Marshal?
Well, miss dora,
I could assign an extra
Deputy here for a few days.
Yeah. Good idea.
Oh, it's not
A good idea at all!
The buffalo men will say you're
Siding with the santa fe crowd
And the santa fe crowd
Will tell major paxton
That you're favoring
The buffalo men.
Well, what
Do you suggest?
I suggest--
Why don't you let me
Talk to all the men?
If they know that you're
Threatening to close me,
They'll stop
All the rough stuff.
All right, ma'am,
You're entitled
To that chance.
- Good evening.
- Thank you, marshal.
Now dora--
Oh, shut up, kelly.
Earp, wait for me!
I want to talk to you.
I thought you
Wanted to talk to me.
I do. But not as a friend,
Mind you.
All right.
And don't get any wrong ideas
About miss dora and me.
She considers herself
Too good to marry
A saloon keeper.
By george,
She's right.
Yes, sir.
You don't know
Miss dora!
All you see is
A dance hall owner
And jump to conclusions.
I've jumped a lot
Of times, mr. Kelly,
But never
To a conclusion.
You might as well know
The truth, fair and square.
I'm on miss dora's side.
You in love with her?
That's none
Of your business!
We hired you to keep
Law and order in this town,
Not to go sticking your nose
Into personal matters.
All right, mr. Kelly.
I'll have to tell you
The truth,
"Fair and square."
What truth?
I can't keep sunday-school
Order in this part of town
And I'd be a fool
To even try,
But I do draw the line
At knifin' and shootin'.
If miss dora can't
Control her customers,
She's just gonna
Have to close.
Close her?
Over my dead body!
She'll still have to close.
Earp, I had you right
In the first place.
You're nothing but a stupid,
Sanctimonious john law!
Now let me tell you--
Hold it, kelly.
Don't get tough
With the marshal.
Let major paxton
Handle him.
Who's major paxton?
He's boss of
Construction for the
Santa fe, that's who.
A fine man, paxton.
I'll stand you all
A round of drinks on it.
Will you drink to the
Railroad, mr. Earp?
I'm sorry.
I don't drink.
You can also
Tell major paxton
I don't
Handle easy either.
Double round
Of drinks. Free.
All right.
- All right, we'll have
A nice peaceable shindig.
- [Kelly] yeah.
Here's to miss dora,
The daisy bell of kansas.
To miss dora!
[All] miss dora!
And we don't want any
More dirty buffalo hunters
Causing trouble.
We're going over to
Her place and we're
Gonna throw them out!
It'll be for
Railroad men only.
- [All mutter agreement]
- Now, whoa, now, old friend.
Do you see that, kelly?
It's a lantern.
We're gonna hang it
On the door.
And that will mean that dora's
Place is for railroad men only!
Are you drinking
To that, kelly?
Well, sure.
We'll all drink to that!
And on the house!
And on the house!
On the house!
[Kelly] yes, sir,
This is santa fe night
In jim kelly's.
Any more railroad men
In the house?
Step right up here.
I'm buying you a drink.
Belly up!
You better get over
To the alhambra right away.
There's been
A crime committed.
Kelly's? What is it?
A barroom brawl?
Worse than that.
All right. Put this one
In the back room too.
Easy. Nice
And gentle now.
I don't want a bruise
Or a mark on 'em.
Okay...
What happened,
Mr. Kelly?
Uh, bad liquor.
They got it at
Chalk beeson's place
Across the street.
What he uses
In his whiskey
I'll never know.
Put him down,
Mr. Kelly.
- It's just some
Bad liquor--
- Never mind.
Holy smoke!
Chloral hydrate.
Anybody else besides
These three men
Get mickey finns?
Marshal, I swear--
I thought you were
Smarter than this.
- I had to do it!
- Why?
They were going over
To miss dora's
To pick a fight with
The buffalo hunters.
Don't you know that
Knockout drops can k*ll a man,
That it's poisonous?
Nah! They're railroad men.
You couldn't
k*ll a railroad man
With a mickey finn.
Chloral hydrate
Is a deadly poison.
I oughta charge you
With attempted m*rder.
Charge me!
Here I thought
The old jim kelly
Was dead,
That you'd put an end
To all this hoodlum stuff.
Come on, lock me up!
Don't you even stop
To think?
Rogan and humpy put on
A dance hall fight.
Now you spread that route
To all the buffalo hunters
And all the railroad men.
Well, I done it
For her.
A dance hall girl
And a pretty face.
Now you stop right there!
She's a ministering angel,
That's what she is.
She's what?
You go over to
Reverend hawkut's church
In the morning and--
No. Never mind.
Come on,
Lock me up!
Never mind.
I'll do that later.
I'm gonna send
Doc mccarty over here
To take care of these men.
You pay the doc, and you just
Better hope they all wake up
By tomorrow morning.
And I'm no prude,
Marshal.
I expect my men
To get drunk and chase
Dance hall girls.
But I can't let it
Interfere with their
Work for the railroad.
We're pushing iron--
Two to four miles
Of track a day.
Yes, sir.
This is a pretty
Kettle of fish!
Rogan my top boss
On the spike crew,
Laid up with
A fractured skull.
Seven terriers groggy
From drugged liquor.
Do you think the railroad's
Gonna stand for this?
Your men kind of
Ask for trouble,
Major paxton.
Are you defending
This dora hand?
- Am I to infer--
- No, sir.
I'm not taking sides
With miss dora or mr. Kelly.
I think we may be doing
Them both an injustice.
Injustice?
Great scott, this hand woman
Has given me more trouble
Than all the other
Dance hall operators
Combined!
I didn't come here
To argue.
I demand that you close
This woman's place.
Run her out of dodge.
If I decide that's
The way to handle it,
I'll do it.
How long do you
Think it'll take you
To make up your mind?
Not long, major.
I'll give you
Until tomorrow.
After that, the
Railroad will take it
To the town council.
Tomorrow will be
Time enough.
Good.
There's just one
Little thing that
Bothers me.
Yeah?
The blanket camps
Outside of town
Are full of buffalo men.
You got a big crew
Driving track.
I think I can calm down
The buffalo men.
I used to be
A hide hunter myself.
But what about your crew?
They'll be busy
On the railroad.
See that they stay that way.
Otherwise we may have
A little fight on our hands.
You going out to
Those buffalo camps now?
Later. I gotta go
To church first.

Very good, miss hand.
Now then, we'll try
The recessional hymn.
I'm afraid you'll
Have to excuse me.
I promised reverend hawkut
To take up a collection
For him.
Oh, yes,
I had forgotten.
Another choir practice
Saturday?
Yes, I'll be here.
Good day to you all.
Good day.
Good day, miss.
We'll go right to
The recessional hymn...
Well say it.
Say what?
That I'm on
The wrong side of town,
That I shouldn't dare
To enter a church.
I couldn't very well
Say that, miss dora.
After all, they let me
In church too.
Mr. Kelly got mad and told me
I should talk to the reverend
Hawkut about you.
That kelly!
He also called you
A ministering angel.
Blarney.
Sure, I kicked in some money
To help build the church,
But so did every place
Else in town.
The reverend hawkut
Asked me to join the choir
Because I sing a little bit
Better than the rest.
You have a very
Nice voice.
This has nothing to do
With whether you're
Going to close my
Dance hall or not.
Are you?
Did you talk
To the men?
Yes, I talked to them.
They all promised they'd
Stop all the rough stuff.
But to be honest
With you, mr. Earp,
I don't believe it.
That's bad news.
Lots of people
Will get hurt.
Including you?
You don't have to
Worry about me.
I'll take care of myself.
I like you, miss dora.
And you like jim kelly.
It's foolish of you,
Mr. Earp.
Liking us is going to get you
Into lots of trouble,
So much trouble you'll
Have to leave dodge.
I don't need anybody's help
To get me into trouble.
[Dora] here it comes.
Excuse me. Wyatt, the whole
Section g*ng's gone down
To that blanket camp.
They said they're gonna
Run those buffalo hunters
Right out of kansas.
Guess I better saddle up.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Watch yourself, marshal!
They're a pretty tough lot.
[Man] look out!
Railroad men!
Tear it down!
Stack it up over here!
[p*stol blasts]
Hold it!
You're a mite late,
Ain't you, earp?
Yeah, I guess I am.
Another one of your g*ng
Just burned out a buffalo camp
A mile down the road.
But we're in plenty
Of time to make you
Pay for the damages.
Now I want your hands
To come up and I want
Them to come up empty.
Put 'em up! Way up!
All right, mr. Frohm,
You claim there was
About $ worth
Of damage, huh?
They burn any r*fles?
Yeah, two sharps
And a winchester.
That's about $ more.
I'll take care
Of this.
You better
Take care of it.
My whole ballast crew
Pulled off of the job.
- We're a mile and a half
Behind schedule.
- Don't lecture me.
- What was that?
- I don't want any
Railroad big talk!
Your men were caught
Dead to rights.
They raided and burned
A hide hunters' camp
And the damage is $ !
- The railroad
Won't pay a cent!
- Then they stay in jail!
You had no right to
Arrest them! You're
A town marshal.
I'm also a united states
Deputy marshal!
Now if I were you,
I'd get that money
And get it fast.
And I'll try and talk
The buffalo hunters out
Of making their own raid.
Are you threatening
The railroad?
I don't waste
My time, major.
If you don't have
That money in two hours,
I won't even try
And stop them.
Now who do you think
You're fooling with?
Those buffalo hunters
Are tougher man for man
Than any cowhands
You ever heard of!
What do you think
They'll do?
While they chase your crews
Off the rack,
They'll tear up about
Five miles of track,
Would be my guess.
- It's all your fault!
- Oh?
I asked you to run
That woman out of town.
That fancy belle
Dora hand--
She had nothing
To do with it!
You're wasting
Your time, major.
All right.
I'll get the money.
But it's blackmail!
Do you want
To repeat that?
No, I guess not.
Sorry.
A barkeep brought
A message from miss dora.
Wants to see you
Right away.
Says it's
Very important.
Yeah, all right.
And don't try
To soft-soak me!
You got me into this mess,
You and your mickey finns!
And don't say you did it
To keep the fighting
Out of my place!
- You did it for earp!
- Earp? I don't even like him!
Oh, yes you do!
And he likes you.
He told me so.
Yeah? Since when did you
And earp get so friendly?
Don't change the subject!
The subject is
Those hide hunters!
You know what they're aiming
To do to the railroad.
I ain't admitting that.
- You better admit it!
- Now dora!
Earp's coming here.
I sent for him.
And you better
Tell him the truth
Because I'm tired
Of your hoodlum
Shenanigans!
I'm a hoodlum?
Just look who's talking!
Howdy, folks.
Howdy, mr. Earp.
Miss dora was showing
Me this statue.
Just feel
The weight of it.
It's, uh--
Quite handsome.
All right, kelly,
Tell mr. Earp.
Tell him what?
The buffalo hunters
Are aiming to get even
With the railroad crew
For wrecking their camp.
Jim knows all about it.
I'm keeping you
Out of this.
There's no call for you
To get in the middle
Between them
Buffalo hunters
And the railroad.
You see? He wants
To be your friend,
But he's such a hoodlum
He doesn't know how.
All right,
I'm a hoodlum!
And you're a lady.
- That's an odd term.
- What's an odd term?
What I mean,
Mr. Kelly,
Is that you can't
Keep a peace officer
Out of trouble.
That's what
He gets paid for.
If he knows the right cards
He's got a better chance!
He'd have
No chance at all.
Major paxton offered
To pay the damages.
Won't that
Calm the boys down?
No. It's too late
For damages.
All right.
Who's leading them
And where can I
Find them?
At your place?
Tell him, jim, or
I'll never even think
About marrying you.
- Dora!
- Well.
Well, mr. Earp,
We were gonna give up
This sort of life,
Together, both of us.
But every time
The chip are down
It's that
Old hoodlum kelly!
I'm quitting the church!
I'm never gonna go
Inside there again.
- No, dora no. I'll tell--
- Don't touch me.
The buffalo hunters left
For the end of the track
About an hour ago.
With g*ns?
They aim to bushwhack
The santa fe?
No! Plain standup fight.
Don't go out there.
It would be like riding
Between the federals
And the johnny rebs.
He's right, mr. Earp.
We thought it was just
Gonna be a sneak raid
Major paxton offered to
Pay the damages.
Those fellas start sh**ting,
They'll wind up in jail.
I'll see you all later.
Well, you told him,
Kelly.
I hope you're satisfied.
I know what I'm gonna do!
Buffalo hunters!
Break out the g*ns!
Buffalo hunters!
Break for cover!
Grab the g*ns!
[g*ns blasting]
[Kelly] I told you.
I got the money.
What do they want?
Give me the money,
Major.
[Kelly] use your head!
Don't try to go between 'em!
They'll cut you down!
Maybe not.
Cease fire!
Hey, buffalo men,
I've got your money!
The railroad
Paid the damages!
Hold your fire!
Keep back, wyatt!
Too late for talking!
Go back, miss dora!
Go back!
That is miss dora!
Hold your fire!
Quit sh**ting!
You'll hit miss dora!
You ain't hurt,
Miss dora?
No, but it's
A small wonder.
You idiots out here
sh**ting each at other
In a damn fool row.
Put down your g*ns,
All of you,
Or you'll never get a welcome
Again from me or my girls,
And I mean it.
Look, the railroad
Paid your damages.
$ .
It ain't enough,
Wyatt.
It's all you're
Gonna get.
If you men hang around
Here with g*ns,
The railroad's gonna
Start the soldiers after you.
You buffalo hunters
Haven't changed a bit
From the days
I was a hide hunter.
You're all still stubborn
And cantankerous.
That settles it.
Unless you
Behave yourselves,
No more buffalo men
Welcome in my dance hall.
Oh, we take the deal,
Miss dora,
And we behave,
Don't we, boys?
[All] yeah! We agree...
You can take this
To the city council.
That's your privilege.
But what miss dora
Did this afternoon
More than makes up for
Any trouble that was caused
At her place.
I'll argue against
Closing her,
And jim kelly controls
The majority vote
On the council.
I guess you're right.
No hard feelings?
No, sir.
Yes, sir,
Quite a woman,
Isn't she?
Can I tell her that
As coming from you?
Great scott, no!
I'm a happily married man!
Evening, miss dora.
Oh, howdy.
Did you have your talk
With reverend hawkut?
He wants me to stay on
In the choir.
The women are raising
Such ned.
I've caused enough
Trouble already.
Foolish notion.
Me in a church.
Wait a minute.
What is a church for,
Except for good people
And sinners?
- I'm going back in there
And tell them--
- Whoa, marshal!
"Love thy neighbor."
"Be good to them
That hate you,"
Remember?
You don't smile. You
Don't feel like smiling?
No I don't.
- You were about to say--
- I was about to say that--
In this town of women,
You are a great lady.
Thank you.
