Synopsis: Sheriff John T. Chance has his hands full after arresting Joe Burdette for murder.

Chance's good friend Pat Wheeler offers to help but within 20 minutes of making the offer is gunned down in the street, shot in the back. That leaves his elderly deputy Stumpy, the town drunk Dude - once a deputy and a pretty good shot when he was sober - and a young hand, Colorado, who used to work for Wheeler.

I hear you all right, but I won't have

to listen to you for very long.

Now, Joe, that's gratitude for you.

After me fixing up all your cuts

and bruises like I done.

I hope it happens again.

I won't do it, that's all.

- Shut up!

- I take it back, Joe.

If it does happen again,

I'll do just like I done before...

only I hope you have

more cuts and bruises to fix.

Hey, Dude. Dude, come here a minute.

What do you want?

Why don't you sit in here

in place of Stumpy?

I'd rather listen to a drunk than him.

How you holding up, Borrachn?

Got the shakes yet?

That beer won't do you no good. You'll

have to get something stronger than that.

If you're still broke,

I think I got another dollar.

- Chance, you gonna let him do that to me?

- I'll do better than that.

I'll let him have the key to your cell

anytime he wants it.

It'd be too easy.

He's got nobody to back him up.

If he talks out of turn,

throw a bucket of water on him.

I'll throw one in the middle of his bed

and leave him sleep in it.

Want another beer?

You kind of wasted some of that last one.

No, it wasn't wasted,

except I missed him.

- I don't need any more.

- Hey, in the jail.

That's far enough. What do you want?

Mr. Wheeler said to bring this package

to the sheriff.

Hey, Chance, you expecting a package?

Be right out.

- Stumpy?

- Yeah?

Going over to the hotel for a few minutes.

If you don't come back,

me and Joe'II have us a good cry.

Just keep that door locked.

- Thanks for your trouble.

- No trouble at all.

Wheeler said, "Just be careful coming up."

Looks like our friend's still on the job.

Yeah.

There's another one over by the church.

Any use in arresting them?

Forjust standing around?

All I'd do is get another one.

The jail isn't big enough

to hold all of them.

As a matter of fact,

they'd like to get a few in jail.

Remember that.

Seor Chance. I've been looking for you.

I have a message for...

What you have here?

The package you've been waiting for.

Just in time, seor.

- Carlos! Carlos! Where are you at?

- I'm over here.

You keep it. Consuela, she comes now.

If you break the dishes, you'll see what

happens. Every day is the same thing...

Carlos. Oh, Seor Chance.

I just ask Carlos if he's...

Carlos, what is wrong?

You look like the cat

who swallows the chicken.

What have you been doing?

What have I been doing?

I've been talking to my friend the sheriff,

that's what I have been doing.

We have important business.

You say I look like the cat

who eats too much.

Consuela, look at me. Am I fat?

- I did not say you are fat.

- Please, Consuela, do not say more.

You already say too much.

Me and my friend

will make our business alone.
