Narrator: the friendship
Between marshal wyatt earp
And doc holliday
Was born of gratitude
On wyatt's part.
Doc saved his life,
But why doc holliday
Chose to like wyatt
And be loyal to him
Was mighty puzzling
To the citizens of
Dodge city in .
And since wyatt earp
Stood for everything
That doc cynically derided,
A lot of folks were betting
That the two would soon
Come to an open break.
Doc holliday in town?
Yeah, he's inside
Running a game.
Thank you.
All right, finnegan,
I can just spare
You two minutes.
That's enough, doc.
Gold brick.
Take it away.
It's real, doc.
See? San francisco mint,
Government seal.
Look at it.
You stole the thing.
Well sure,
Me and the boys
Held up
A wells fargo stage.
Stupid.
Get out of town, weasel,
And take it with you.
Doc,
I can let you
Have that for
, .
It's worth .
I'm giving you
A real bargain.
What would I
Do with it?
Oh, you're joking,
Doc.
This is grand larceny.
This is right
Up your street.
Doc, you've got
Connections.
You can turn
Right around
And sell it back
, .
Or you could
Make a fake one
And switch bricks
On some sucker.
Grand larceny,
Doc.
You can make
A lot of dough
And have some
Laughs too.
You're doc holliday.
You can't pass this up.
All right.
On one condition.
You take the money
And get out of town.
Oh, sure, doc.
It ain't healthy
For me to stick
Around dodge.
Believe that,
Weasel.
If the pals you've
Undoubtedly double-crossed
Don't get you,
I will.
I'm starting on patrol, wyatt.
Anything special?
Oh yeah, hal,
There is.
Keep a look out
For weasel finnegan.
Here's his picture.
Got away with
Five gold bricks.
Wells fargo recovered
Four of them.
So we're looking for
Weasel finnegan
And one gold brick.
That's right.
Mr. Finnegan.
Is that really you?
Don't you
Remember me?
Ginger.
Salt lake city.
Oh, that's right.
Howdy.
Is that all you gotta say,
Just howdy?
Well, I gotta be
Getting on my way.
I'm supposed to
Meet the boys.
Oh, now you can
Buy me one drink.
Come on, irish.
For old times?
All right, ginger.
Just one.
Oh, howdy,
Miss kate.
Is it safe to
Talk in here?
As long as we don't
Yell at each other.
No, I'm too
Worried to yell.
Wyatt, john's up to
His old tricks again.
I'm sorry
To hear that.
Sit down,
Please.
Well, what's
He done now?
He--
He's bought
A gold brick.
From weasel finnegan.
Well, there's a wells fargo
Poster out
For weasel finnegan.
And there's a gold brick
Missing.
It's real?
San francisco mint.
I oughta leave john.
After nursing him
Through that bad spell,
He pulls
A stunt like this.
He thinks it's
A good joke.
( Chuckles )
He's still got it?
No. He sold it.
He says.
Did he name the buyer?
That's the joke
Part of it.
He says he sold it
To one of the most
Respectable
Men in town.
You see anything
Funny in that?
Well, your husband has
A special brand of humor.
A lot of respectable
Citizens in town
Have given you and the doctor
The cold shoulder.
Oh--
John wants to
Show this man up?
That might be it.
But I'll have a little
Talk with the doctor.
You aren't...
Going to say
I told on him,
Are you?
I'm just trying to
Keep the doctor
Out of trouble.
I know that,
Mrs. Holliday.
You stay here
And rest yourself.
I've got a faro
Game going, wyatt.
My money.
I'm on the hunt
For something.
I should know
Where it is?
Possibly.
Weasel finnegan
And some of the boys
Heisted a gold shipment
In california.
Have you seen
Weasel lately?
Yes, two hours ago.
Did he say anything
About the loot?
Yes, as a matter of fact,
He sold me a gold brick.
But I didn't have any
Idea it had been stolen.
Still got it?
No.
I sold the thing.
Anybody I know?
I'm not saying.
You do the police work.
You solve the mystery.
Look, what are you
Trying to prove?
Let's just call it
An experiment
To test the moral
Nature of mankind.
Oh come on.
Very well, arrest me.
I'll say I didn't know
The gold was stolen.
And if driven too far, I'll say
That the gold was phony.
Where's weasel now?
I ordered him
To get out of town.
Look, why don't you
Be logical?
You're always talking
About logic.
All right then,
Just because some folks
Have snubbed you
And mrs. Holliday,
Why go through all this
Rigmarole?
All you're gonna prove
Is that a snob
Is also a crook.
Dodge city needs
Taking down a peg.
Granted.
But you tell me
The name of the man
And I'll take dodge
Down real quick.
I don't know who
The present owner is.
You mean it's changed hands?
Wyatt, I sold
That gold brick
For half its value.
Just what I paid for it.
My guess is that it's
Been bought and sold
Over and over again
By now.
Maybe.
Well, at least
Give me a clue
To the first buyer.
You might try
Mayor kelly.
Kelly?
Yep.
You'd better work fast,
Marshal.
The bon ton of dodge city
Love that yellow stuff.
Yeah.
Come on in, wyatt.
Sit down.
Thank you.
Mr. Kelly, I'm looking
For a gold brick
That was stolen
From wells fargo.
Oh, that.
You've seen it, huh?
I have.
This very day.
A certain friend of yours
Brought it to me.
Wanted me
To sell it for him.
Dr. Holliday.
Oh? He told you.
Well, the doctor
Never lies.
The more disreputable
The deal,
The prouder he is.
Well, did you
Handle the gold?
No.
I told him to see
Miles lennihan.
Didn't you suspect
That it was stolen?
Yes.
I didn't want to make
Any trouble for doc
And I owe lennihan
Some political favors.
You won't have to tell miles
That I gave you
The information?
No. He'll deny
He sold it anyway.
I'm ashamed, wyatt.
Forget it.
You didn't make any
Profit in the deal.
It's my fault for
Getting you into politics
In the first place.

Or a girl.
Have you found
That thing yet,
Wyatt?
No.
I ought to

So you think
I'm morally responsible
For this?
Bad judgment, wyatt.
I told him
To get out of town.
One gold brick.

Oh, howdy, marshal.
Mr. Hamilton.
I'd like to have
A little talk with you.
What about?
Some gold.
Well, it's closing time
Anyway.
Well, am I under arrest?
Have you still got it?
Who bought it
From you?
I can't tell you.
Please--
All right,
It's up to you.
Let's go to jail.
Jail? Oh no.
Well, I buy gold
Right along.
You can't prove
That I knew.
Well, mr. Lennihan
Threatened me.
I do most of my business
South of the line.
- He said--
- Never mind him.
Who has
The thing now?
Will-- will I have to
Testify in court?
Look, mr. Hamilton,
I can arrest you
For receiving and
Selling stolen gold.
Now if you want to make it
Easier on yourself,
You'll tell me who
Bought that stuff.
Homer blithe.
Oh, I know it sounds
Hard to believe,
A big man
Like mr. Blithe,
But I was scared.
I sold it for , ,
Just what I paid
Mr. Lennihan.
It's gonna be your word
Against his, you know.
I'm telling you
The truth.
All right.
Already been one man
k*lled over this.
I'll send a deputy
To guard you.
Howdy, mr. Blithe.
Oh, marshal earp.
Wondering if you could
Give me a lift.
I'll be glad to.
Get in.
Thank you.
Good season
We're having.
Plenty of rain.
Where can I drop you?
I'm looking for
A gold brick.
A what?
Bullion.
San francisco mint.
Bar value
At $ , .
Stolen?
And you think it's
Here in dodge city?
Yep. I think
You've got it.
Well, you're
Joking of course.
No, I'm not joking.
If you were a drinking man
I could excuse you,
But I suggest that
You owe me an apology.
I suggest you apologize
To the decent citizens
In this town.
Get out.
I'll do that.
Do you like money
So much, mr. Blithe,
That you're willing
To risk your life
For $ , profit?
I'm going to report you to
The mayor and the council.
Good day.
You do that.
Not homer blithe too?
Lennihan says he
Sold it to hamilton,
And hamilton says
He sold it to blithe.
( Chuckles )
I can't wait
To tell katie.
Mrs. Blithe
Insulted her.
But there's no evidence.
Only hamilton's word.
Wyatt,
You're dull today.
Oh?
Blithe wouldn't
Keep the thing.
He's too smart
For that.
He discounted it
With ned chapin
At the bank.
Chapin?
Oh, come on now.
All right.
Forget it.
I was amused, but now
The joke bores me.
Time to take
My medicine.
Wait up.
I'll come with you.
That still doesn't
Prove that mr. Chapin
Bought the gold.
He bought it.
The bank can issue currency
Against its gold deposits.
Chapin is betting
That by the time
The bank examiners
Get around to a check-up,
The wells fargo robbery
Will have been forgotten.
Well, it wouldn't
Do me any good to
Ask him.
Hmm. That's the first
Intelligent remark
You've made, wyatt.
Do you want me
To handle chapin?
How?
None of your business.
I'd just love
To prove this on him.
He told me he wouldn't
Take my account
In his pious bank.
Oh.
You just say the word,
Marshal.
No. You've caused
Enough trouble.
You should have
Turned weasel into me
In the first place.
Temper temper.
You know,
I should arrest you
For receiving
Stolen goods
And compounding
A felony.
Go ahead.
I'll demand that you
Arrest mayor kelly,
Newt hamilton,
Blithe, and chapin.
Fine lot of
Jail birds.
( Knocking on door )
It's open.
Howdy, miss kate.
Clerk said you wanted
To see me right away.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Wyatt, you're gonna
Have to arrest john.
- Why?
- He's gonna
Hold up the bank
As soon as it opens
In the morning.
I had a hunch
He might try that.
He'll do it
If you don't stop him.
He doesn't like
A fella named chapin.
Thinks he bought the gold.
All this just to prove
That some of
Our leading citizens
Aren't strictly honest.
Some folks snub us.
Well, we deserve
To be snubbed.
John's a gambler.
He insults most everybody.
I'm a vulgar,
Common woman.
I smoke, I drink,
I swear.
You're kind of
Rough on yourself,
Aren't you, miss kate?
No.
John hates what
People are saying.
He cusses
Mrs. Grundy.
Well, I don't.
There's always got
To be a mrs. Grundy.
People will be
Paying attention to
Mrs. Grundy's gossip
When they won't listen
To their own preachers.
Well, that's right.
Wyatt,
You'll stop john
From pulling this
Fool stunt,
Won't you?
Of course I will.
The bank
Opens at : .
He'll be leaving here
About minutes of.
You'll arrest him here,
Not at the bank,
Huh?
Well, he'll be
Wearing a g*n.
That'll cost him
A $ fine.
I'll pay it myself.
Thanks, wyatt.
Now don't you worry.
Smokey, sit in.
Well, what's
So important?
I sent for you.
The great doc holliday.
That's enough, jenner.
You want to go out
In the alley with me?
No. Why don't I
Just sh**t you--
- Why not?
- Don't do it, doc.
I'm just feeling
Mean like you.
Sit down, jenner.
Put your hands
On the table.
Why didn't you
k*ll finnegan?
Well, we drew
Cards for it.
But how did you know
That finnegan had
Hooked up with me?
Chitchat
From the hens' roost.
I also collected some other
Thieves' stories.
You want to hear them?
Yeah.
Man by the name of chapin
At the bank has your gold.
How'd he get it?
It's a long story,
And I'm short on breath.
Well...
Thanks, doc.
Too bad we can't
Take the bank.
Sit down, jenner.
You can take it.
Sit down.
Earp and his deputies
Are poison.
I said sit down.
I want to make
A deal with you.
Wyatt won't be
Anywhere near
The bank.
He'll be arresting me
And leading me to jail,
Understand?
Yeah.
But are you sure
Your missus told earp?
I'm sure.
I get that part.
But why do I have to
Drop that gold brick
In the street?
It's my share for keeping
Earp out of the way.
Yes or no, jenner?
It's a deal, doc.
Me and the boys
Will get plenty
Without a hot brick
That's tough to sell.
You just keep
Earp out of it.
You just don't
Cross me, jenner.
I want to pick up
That gold
In a bank sack
From the street.
And I want
To live, doc.
I don't see why,
But I hope you do.
Morning, wyatt.
Hold it.
I'm busy.
I gotta go over--
That's too bad.
I'm arresting you.
You know you
Can't carry a g*n
North of the line?
Uh-huh. Katie tells
You everything.
Come on, we'll take
A little walk to jail.
On my desk.
: On the dot.
Open the doors,
Mr. Clay.
Get back there.
- Get that vault.
- What's the meaning of this?
Get in there.
( Coughing )
Wyatt? Wyatt?
I'm running
Out of breath.
Can we rest
A moment?
I'm sorry.
Here, sit down.
Now holding up a bank
Single-handed
Just to prove that
Mr. Chapin has the gold,
That's real
Logical thinking
For a college man.
Drop it, jenner,
Drop it!
( g*nshots )
Good work, marshal.
You got the two
With the money.
Well, are you gonna
Arrest chapin,
Or am I the only
Hoodlum in town?
Give me that g*n.
Bring that
Money sack over here.
Here.
Now mr. Chapin,
Do you know
What this is?
Why, yes.
Gold bullion.
It was taken
On a wells fargo robbery.
- Oh no.
- Oh yes.
Now what was it
Doing in your bank?
Think fast, chapin.
Dr. Holliday, please.
Marshal,
I can't expect you
To believe this,
But I let a customer
Put it in my vault
As a favor.
Who is he?
I don't know that I should
Tell you, mr. Earp.
He could have bought
The gold without knowing.
Do your duty, marshal.
You keep quiet.
You're still
Under arrest.
Why is that?
Dr. Holliday
Shot the robbers.
We got back
All the money.
Don't waste your sympathy
On the doctor.
I'm afraid I'm gonna
Have to take you to
Jail too, mr. Chapin.
I understand.
Now you're the one
That really started
This, mr. Hamilton.
Mayor kelly washed his
Hands of the whole deal
And mr. Lennihan
Might claim ignorance,
But you're a jeweler.
Now you know you don't
Buy gold in bullion form.
You lost your nerve
And resold it to mr. Blithe.
Well, I'm ready to
Take my punishment.
( Door opens )
( Door closes )
Well, have they
All confessed?
Yeah, but you haven't
Proved your point.
Oh?
Then they're still
Respectable?
Well, mr. Lennihan
Is the bad kind of
Politician.
Of course he never claimed
To be respectable.
Mr. Hamilton here
Is guilty of cowardice.
He was afraid
Of mr. Lennihan.
Mr. Blithe.
But mr. Blithe is the only
Crook in the lot.
He admits that mr. Chapin
Was only doing him a favor.
Now that's only
One crook out of five.
That's pretty good for
A town like dodge city.
I'm deeply
Disappointed.
Fine.
Now let's take
Your case.
You bought a gold brick
That you knew had been stolen.
And then out of
Sheer perversity
You set out to
Corrupt these men.
Vicious nasty pride.
Taking revenge for
Fancied snubs or insults.
A good choice of words.
And a terse summary
Of the case.
You see any reason why
I shouldn't charge you
With receiving and
Selling stolen property?
None whatever.
Put on the handcuffs.
It'd be a dramatic gesture,
But the situation
Calls for it.
No, wyatt.
That gold brick
Is a phony.
John didn't sell
The real one.
- Katie, please--
- Here's the real one.
So nobody's guilty
Of anything, are they?
You can't put men in jail
For messing around with
$ Worth of lead and
Gilt-colored solder, can you?
A handsome marshal.
You and I should have
Gone to colorado--
That's enough.
Mr. Hamilton?
Is this
The real bullion?
It's a phony.
I'd better test
This other one
With a drop
Of acid.
I did that
When I bought it
From weasel finnegan.
You can trust katie.
You gentlemen
Are discharged.
Not you, doctor.
You owe a $ fine
For carrying a g*n.
I won't pay it.
Well, I will.
Fine remitted
In due of mrs. Holliday's
Cooperation with the law.
John.
What do you say?
He's a fool.
He believes in
The human race.
Why do I
Love that man?
Well, miss kate,
There's some things
The good lord will
Explain in due time.
