The Plainsman Page #2

Synopsis: With the end of the North American Civil War, the manufacturers of repeating rifles find a profitable means of making money selling the weapons to the North American Indians, using the front man John Lattimer to sell the rifles to the Cheyenne. While traveling in a stagecoach with Calamity Jane and William "Buffalo Bill" Cody and his young wife Louisa Cody that want to settle down in Hays City managing a hotel, Wild Bill Hickok finds the guide Breezy wounded by arrows and telling that the Indians are attacking a fort using repeating rifles. Hickok meets Gen. George A. Custer that assigns Buffalo Bill to guide a troop with ammunition to help the fort. Meanwhile the Cheyenne kidnap Calamity Jane, forcing Hickok to expose himself to rescue her.

So's your sister.

That's not my sister.

That's CalamityJane.

Was she your best girl?

Son, one of these days

you're gonna grow up,

and you ought

to know about women.

You see, the thing is this,

women are, uh--

Well, they're, um--

Well, son--

I can tell you what an Indian

will do to ya,

but you never know

what a woman will do.

Why?

Well--

Let's go down and take a look

at that fire engine.

If you don't like her,

what do you carry

her picture around for?

It's the only good picture

of me I ever had taken.

I can't cut her off

without cutting off

my chin.

John Lattimer, 1 7.

I see a good mark.

John Lattimer, 1 8.

Wait. I see an easy mark.

Where?

John Lattimer, 1 9.

Oh, yes.

Hello, Virginia!

I'll be around shortly.

We hate to say good-bye.

When you comin' back?

When you come and see me.

I want you to take Hannibal.

He sings.

Oh, Will, look.

I see a good fighting man

who's been fool enough

to get himself married.

Ow!

What's the matter?

Oh, my hats!

Jiggers! Let's duck.

Here. Hold on, bub.

Come back here.

Hey, who do you think

you're--

Bill! You long-legged,

fugacious old gallinipper!

What are you doin' here?

Well, I, uh--

Here's somebody who wants

an introduction to you.

Boy, you wouldn't know him

in these tinhorn garments,

but this is the best scout

west of the Mississippi.

Shake hands

with Buffalo Bill.

Buffalo Bill!

Howdy, youngster.

Son,

this fellow taught me all

I ever knew about scoutin'.

Ah!

You mustered out yet,

Bill?

Yesterday.

Ya ain't losin' much time

gettin' up the Big Muddy.

He seems to have

met a friend.

Yes, a rather

strange friend.

How long have you been out?

Oh, about three months.

I see she hasn't

cut your hair... yet.

I don't know

what you mean, Bill.

You know what happened

to Samson when Delilah

opened her barbershop.

Has she tamed you yet?

That ain't fair.

She's different.

You're different.

Bill, she's

the finest little gal--

I know, I know.

You gotta meet her.

No, Bill.

Women and me don't agree.

All that's goin; get aboard.!

Come on! You'll like her.

All that's goin',

get aboard!

Don't be nervous.

He'll be here.

Come, Will!

Hurry.!

All right, Lou.

I want you to meet

the best friend--

We haven't time.

We must get on the boat.

All that's goin; get aboard.!

Bye, Buffalo Bill!

Bye!

Bye, Louisa.!

Good-bye!

Honey, we're on our way.

You're not frightened, are ya?

I'm not frightened

of anything after these

three wonderful months.

It's a big place we're

going to-- the West--

isn't it?

Good-bye, Buffalo Bill!

Huh?

What's the matter, boy?

Good-bye, bub. That's yours.

Gee! Thanks, mister!

Don't forget what I told ya

about women.
