Carson City Page #4

Synopsis: Banker William Sharon becomes desperate that his gold and silver shipments from Carson City to Virginia City are the helpless targets of a band of outlaws called "The Champagne Bandits." In true Robin Hood-fashion, after robbing the stage of its bullion, they treat its passengers to a fried chicken picnic replete with champagne. Sharon becomes convinced that the only way to foil the gang is to build a railroad to carry the ore, but that will take an extraordinary engineer in such mountainous territory. Sharon finds his man in brawling adventurer Jeff Kincaid, an experienced hand at difficult jobs and former resident of Carson City who knows the difficult terrain very well. It becomes a reunion of sorts as Kincaid's half brother works for the local newspaper, but they soon become rivals for the affections of Susan Mitchell, the publisher's daughter. Kincaid also has to fight the town's hostility to his boisterous railhands and ongoing efforts by the outlaws to sabotage the project.

than it seems at the time.

You must enjoy it,

or you wouldn't do it.

Maybe he just hasn't

found anything better.

I guess that's about it.

Well, I must be going.

Dad will be sorry

he missed you.

Give him my best.

I'm sorry, Jeff.

Didn't come out very well.

Oh, forget it.

It'll get a lot dirtier

before I'm through.

- Mr. Mitchell.

- Jeff.

- Glad to see you.

- Wish I could say the same.

- Dad?

- Nothing personal.

I just don't like

what you're here for.

What's wrong with it?

Lots of things.

Susan, will you take this

downstairs and set it up?

"Proposed railroad threat

to Carson city. "

Why is it a threat?

This will be a different town

if you put a railroad in here.

It could stand

a little waking up.

I like the way it is.

Growing pains are always

a little tough,

But you can't get

to be an adult without them.

Depends what you mean

by being an adult.

I don't judge a man

just by his size.

You got a good point there,

Mr. Mitchell.

Good night, sir.

Thanks for dinner.

Don't sound so formal.

I've got to get used

to you being grown-up.

Wait a minute.

I'll walk down with you.

Good night, Susan.

Good night, Mr. Mitchell.

Good night, Alan.

I don't think that was a very

nice way to greet him.

We're on different sides

of the fence, that's all.

- He understands.

- Well, I don't.

Look, it's late. You better

hurry up with that copy.

So you're

a newspaper man now.

Yeah. Not much by your

standards, but I like it.

That's what

they pay off on.

I thought it might be hard for

you to understand how a man

Could be satisfied

to stay in one place.

You wanted to see what was on

the other side of the Mountain.

Both sides

are pretty much alike.

The way I figure it,

You got everything

you want right here.

Not much sense

looking anywhere else.

Of course, it doesn't

make a man out

To be a very

dashing figure.

You're on the right track,

kid. Stay on it.

- I intent to.

- Remember, I'm on your side.

Come on in.

I'll buy you a drink.

No, thanks. Glad to have

you back, Jeff. Goodnight.

Good night.

Maybe you can go

with dodson, but I can't.

If the railroad guarantees

delivery at cheaper rates,

I have to go along.

- Beer.

- Right.

REWARD 7,500 $ FOR THE CAPTURE

ALIVE OR DEAD OF THE BANDITS CHAMPAGNE

"Champagne bandits. "

Pretty fancy title

for a bunch of holdup men.

From what I hear, they're

a pretty fancy bunch.

You the fellow that came

to town with Sharon?

Yes.

My name's Davis.

At our mine owners

meeting just now,

Sharon's been telling us

about this railroad idea.

Glad to know you.

I'm Jeff Kincaid.

This is Dave Fairchild,

Ben Roberts, and Jim squires.

I understand
