single minute of every day and night.

This is the Double-O.

This is Belle Fourche.

ln between is 400 miles of the

meanest country in the West.

And the only way we're

gonna get through is if...

...you take orders.

- ls that clear?

- Yes, sir.

Bring a bedroll...

...a couple of good ropes...

... horse, if you got one.

You'll get the best

food in the territory...

... no rest, and damn little sleep.

And 50 big silver dollars...

... if we make it to Belle Fourche.

Now you'll show up at my place...

...first Monday after

school's out, at 5 a. m.

And come with grit teeth.

Because, gentlemen, that's

when school really begins.

Mr. Andersen?

Yeah?

All of us?

Come here.

Anybody that tall.

They must've rode all over the territory

to get that many brand new hats.

You know...

...you're gonna have to feed

these kids till my cook comes.

l don't mind.

l like the sound of boys.

Next one of you pulls

a knife in this outfit...

...you're gonna learn better

at the buckle end of my belt.

Now, what happened?

You.

What went on here?

He said something about his mother.

What'd he say?

- You understand Spanish, Mr. Andersen?

- l understand.

So does Slim.

Clear out.

Get on your horse and clear out.

All right. There's plenty of road.

Give me back my gun.

l'm not in the habit of

throwing kerosene on a fire.

lt cost me $30.

Send me a bill.

You're gonna get it, mister.

All right, everybody

packing iron unload it.

Throw it over here in this buggy.

And l mean anything that shoots.

Anybody holds out so

much as a pea shooter...

... may find himself hanging by

a tie-rope 70 foot up in a tree.

You ever fire that thing?

No, sir.

This hardware'll be locked

up in the chuck wagon.

You got anything to settle

between you, butt heads.

Now get rid of those bedrolls and...

...get mounted and we'll

see how much you don't know.

All right, turn him loose.

Bring in the iron, Charlie.

Been smelling that for 40 years.

Never could get used to it.

- You.

- Yes, sir.

What's your name?

Hardy Fimps.

Go rope one.

You'll do.

l've seen them fight all

day, from dawn to dark.

Sometimes the young one

wins, sometimes the old.

Young one's got more muscle.

Old one's got more experience.

That's the old one

still standing there.

- Keep his nose out of the water.

- Watch out!

Hang on to that line!

Steady, steady. Pull!

Slow, Weedy!

Watch out for those horns.

You got him.

Now hold him right there.

Pull his nose back now.

Keep his head back.

All right, take him out!

Pull!

Get him out of there!

You need some help?

Nah, they're doing all right.

Mr. Wil Andersen?

What can l do for you?

Well, l think there's something
