- That's too bad.

Now don't turn around.

- Anybody here?

- Yes.

- Take care of my horse, ma'am?

- You bet.

Don't usually see a girl running a stable.

Belongs to my father, Will McLeod.

- Did you say McLeod?

- Know him?

Sure. I've heard of him.

Everybody in this part of the country

knows him.

- You from around here?

- Nope.

My name's Allison McLeod.

Pleased to meet you.

I didn't quite catch your name.

I didn't give it.

- Nice horse you got here.

- Yeah.

- Bet you had to pay plenty for him.

- Too much.

Found plenty of dust, too, didn't you?

The north trails are full of it.

And there's red mud

between here and Basin City, too.

- You've seen a lot of country, haven't you?

- Not as much as you.

Red Valley's kind of new to me.

What's it like?

Sleepy and quiet.

Once in a while we raise a crop of horses.

That isn't all.

- Adios, brother.

- Have you known your horse long?

Time doesn't matter.

We fell in love at first sight.

- Isn't that a dangerous habit?

- Not when you get used to it.

I'll be coming back here tonight

to see my horse.

- You be here?

- I'll be waiting.

The Commercial House is a block down.

You'll find that more suitable.

This suits me.

- I'm afraid we have no vacancies.

- Look again.

- I'm very sorry, but...

- Is there anything wrong?

I believe this gentleman has ambitions

beyond his means, Countess.

I think we can afford

a little charity occasionally.

Follow me.

Thank you.

- Cheyenne!

- Take it easy, Countess. I'm only a visitor.

What are you doing here?

There's $10,000 on your head.

- Are you crazy?

- Nitro come in yet?

Yes, he's been here for days

waiting for you.

He said something about a bank job.

- Is it the kind of a job I think it is?

- Yes.

The Clanton Bank?

I think that's the name

Sam Glennon told me.

Hell, that job's already been done.

Now you'd better move

before somebody recognizes you.

Somebody already recognized me

on the way from Salt Lake City.

I had to travel the long way around.

That's why I'm late.

- I sent Nitro on ahead to wait for me here.

- I thought you were quitting.

So did I, but they won't let me.

I've tried a dozen times.

Every time I got started...

somebody remembers my face

and wants that $10,000.

Then I get hunted down like a coyote.

What else can I do but keep on?

Come on, sit down.

This will do.

You don't have to sit

facing the doors in here.

Sort of a habit with me.

- You're kind of jumpy, aren't you?

- Maybe.

How long has it been

since you've seen my folks?

About six months.

Your sister's a very pretty girl.

You'd be proud of her.

- How's my kid brother?

- Good boy. Straight as a string.

You're not heading out that way, are you?
