Now, if the young lady
will open her eyes
and examine
the spots on the card.
They're gone!
But not your fingers, I hope.
No...
Ladies and gentlemen,
any of you can shoot the spots
from playing cards,
given a steady hand,
keen eyes, iron nerves...
and 12 years of practice.
My gratitude
for your assistance.
And to show my appreciation,
I'd like to present you
with these beautiful earrings.
I was told that
they once belonged
to the grand padishah
of Hindustan.
Oh, thank you, Mr. Carter.
Thank you.
You're very welcome; thank you.
Now, would another intrepid soul
step forward
to assist in a demonstration
which has astounded the crowned
heads of 11 countries?
Anyone will do.
No harm can possibly
come to you.
Aha, I see I have a candidate.
That's the spirit, young fellow.
Up the steps
right onto the stage.
Bring your feet with you.
Stand there.
Take this deck of cards.
While my back is turned,
choose one...
any card will do.
Do you have it?
Yes, sir.
Show it to the audience.
What do you think?
Exceptin' the time I seen him,
he had whiskers.
Well, the best thing is
to catch him outside.
Now put it back in the deck.
Now watch closely.
In my left hand
I have the deck of cards,
in my right, the personal
throwing weapon
of the late Colonel James Bowie.
With its help, I shall endeavor
to discover the card
in question.
Well, I'll be!
The ace of hearts.
Here he comes.
Colonel Desmond?
Colonel Desmond?
We were.
Afraid there must be
some mistake.
The name is Johnny Carter.
Ah, no it ain't.
I couldn't forget you, Colonel.
Our outfit fought
right alongside of you
at Forest Ridge.
Just a minute, Scamper.
Maybe introductions
are in order,
Mr., uh, Carter.
This is Mr. Newton,
Sergeant Joad,
and I'm Jeb Bassett.
All formerly of
the Ninth Virginia.
How do you do?
You were in the Confederate
Army, Mister... Carter?
Why, yes.
Yes, I was.
Good.
We want to make you
a proposition.
We need a man like you
where we live... Coppertown...
to keep us from losing
our claims.
The mines are all right.
There's something else.
because we're Southerners.
Coppertown's smelter
won't buy our ore.
We've had accidents
in the mine.
Three men killed already.
When one of us tries
to take ore to Mesa City,
something always happens
to him or his wagon.
What about the law?
Get away from me,
you overgrown jackrabbit.
The law's against us, too,
That's why we need a man like
you, Colonel... er, Mr. Carter...
as a leader and...
Law breaker?
Let's say someone
who can face up to the law
if it isn't doing right.
What in tarnation do you want?
Chewing tobacco, Sergeant.
Chewing tobacco?
Why-why, I never heard
of anything like...
What brand?
Here you are.
Well, gentlemen,
it's true I was in the war,
but as a corporal.
But now I'm a peaceful man,
following a peaceful occupation.
I'm sorry, but I must refuse
your invitation.
Good night.
Colonel?
We were told to give you
a special message
from the man who brought us
out here...
Mr. Theodosius Roberts,
formerly of
Beardsville, Virginia.
Name's unfamiliar.
We got the wrong man, Jeb.
I guess you're right.
Nothing on earth could
keep Colonel Desmond
out of the fracas we got.
Let's mosey.
Keep away from me, will ya?
Hi, Travis.
Why aren't you fellows
working?
Ain't you heard?
Pretty gals!
Figurin' on greetin' them,
make them feel at home.
