Badman's Territory Page #5

Synopsis: After some gun play with a posse, the James Gang head for Quinto in a section of land which is not a part of America. Anyone there is beyond the law so the town is populated with outlaws. Next to arrive is Sheriff Rowley, following his brother whom the Gang have brought in injured. Rowley has no authority and gets on well enough with the James boys but is soon involved in other local goings-on, including a move to vote for annexation with Oklahoma which would allow the law well and truly in.

committee won't forget it.

Don't stay here.

We'll look after your brother.

McGee's on his way to the corral.

So I notice.

You shouldn't have stopped here. It's my

fault. Please! Coyote says you haven't a chance.

I could run ahead, make him nervous.

He's gonna get it!

Thanks.

Come on!

Get those horses out of here, quick!

Leave 'em there.

Where's that sheriff?

I haven't saw a sheriff for 20 years.

Ya-hoo!

Say, that man can shoot. Shot a

horse race clean out from under us.

Doggone it, Sheriff,

you should have been an outlaw.

Congratulations. Thanks, but I'm

still a little scared. Don't be.

That shot will bring you quite

a reputation in Quinto. Good shot!

I couldn't have done better.

Well, that's right nice of you.

We like your kind.

We hope to be seeing a lot of you.

A real genuine compliment

coming from Belle Starr.

Belle Starr?

It ain't nobody else. Well...

Doggone it, she sure is some gal.

Sheriff, that shooting entitles

you to meet Sam Bass. Howdy.

Mr Wade offers his compliments. Rowley, since

McGee had entered your horse for tomorrow's race,

I was wondering...

No, thanks.

Miss Starr, you didn't give me time

to thank you for your compliment.

You talk as smooth as you shoot, and your shootin's

gonna keep me out of Texas. I hoped you'd visit.

A woman can change her mind. Good. It's

a clean jail. If you're the jailer...

I might accept your invitation. I always do my best

to accommodate prisoners, and especially ladies.

Too bad your chestnut isn't running tomorrow. I was

looking forward to looking back at him. Were you?

I can change my mind. You'd better have your horse

in shape or you'll be looking at the back of him. Bye.

Come on.

One of the best shootings in years.

Well, doc? He's made his last mistake.

Doctor Grant. Yes, Miss Alcott?

I'd like you to come over

to my house. Certainly, Miss Alcott.

Is this professional?

Hi, Mark.

So you finally woke up?

You were sleeping earlier.

How do you feel? How do I look?

Better.

So does the room.

Glad they did it up a bit.

I hear you did a little chore today.

Yeah.

Couldn't get out of it, Johnny.

But it squared accounts for Mercer.

Yeah.

That McGee was a mean one.

I'd say the James boys

were in bad company.

But Frank and Jesse are all right.

A man can ride with them.

You know, Mark,

I wonder why such men turn outlaws.

Usually for one reason - money.

I'm not justifying the James boys, but they got off

to a bad start with Quantrill's guerillas in Missouri.

Yeah, I know.

Tell me, John, who shot Hampton?

Jesse.

Are you sure? Just in time too. He was about to wing

Coyote after he got me. He was your prisoner. Yes.
