My Little Chickadee

Whoa! Ho! Whoa!

Drop those guns.

Everybody get out.

Do not try anything and nobody will get hurt.

He said to come out, Miss Flower Belle.

Well, I got nothin' he wants.

I will be the judge of that.

Come out, or I will have to kill all these nice people.

Hmm.

I don't mind being held up, but I don't like the inconvenience.

It's the Masked Bandit.

Well, he's just another man to me.

Bring down the gold box.

Well, come on. Take what you want and let's get out of here.

I will do that,

my pretty one.

Put the gold in my saddlebags.

He kidnapped her. Pile in, everybody.

We've got to get to Little Bend and form a posse.

He just swept Flower Belle on his horse, and away they went.

And he got away with every bit of the gold shipment too, Sheriff.

He did, eh? Yeah.

Here comes Flower Belle's aunt and uncle. Let 'em through there.Mr. Farrell, I got bad news for you. What's that?

Your niece, Flower Belle, has been kidnapped by the Masked Bandit.

Flower Belle kidnapped?

Yes, and I'm formin' a posse right now to hunt for 'em.

Come on. Let's go.

It's gonna be all right, honey.

She's back! Flower Belle's comin'! All by herself too!

Are you sure, Zeb? Sure! Come on!

Come on, boys.

Here she is. I'm all right. I'm fine.

Oh, Flower Belle, I'm so happy to see you. I was so worried.

Yes, Aunt Lou, I was in a tight spot,

but I managed to wiggle out of it. You always do.

Come on in the house, baby.

Well, folks, Flower Belle's back.

And I guess that's all there is to it. You can go home and rest easy.What'd he wanna do, hold you for ransom? How'd you escape?

Now, boys, don't go askin' a lot of questions tonight.

Flower Belle must be plumb tuckered out after an experience like that.

Yeah. If you don't mind, I think I'll go up to my room.

Just one question, Flower Belle.

How did you manage to get back to town all by yourself?

Them hills is a long ways off.

Oh, uh, he brought me to the edge of town after it got good and dark.

Where did he keep you all that time?

Oh, I see you got my things off the stagecoach.

Oh, come up, Aunt Lou. I wanna show you the pictures I had took at Big Bluff.

Bring up the baggage, Zeb. Sure thing.

Oh. Good night,

and thanks for lookin' for me.

Now, these are right pretty pictures of you, Flower Belle.

Yeah, I like 'em.

They look just like me.

Gold. Mm-hmm.

Did the Bandit give it to you? Yeah.

I figured it's only fair for the inconvenience I went through.

Oh, it's you.

I didn't expect you so soon.

I had to come. I could not stay away.

The whole town's been lookin' for you. Anyone see you?

No, no, my pretty one.

The Masked Bandit move like a shadow of the night.

That is beautiful.

When am I gonna see your face?

Oh, you must be patient with me.

When am I gonna see what I'm kissin'?

Someday you will see.

I will take off this mask and never put it on again.

Oh! Oh!

I recognized his horse,

and then I saw their shadow on her window.

And there they were, locked in each other's arms.

She and that bandit.

And then he came out, mask and all, and rode away.

If you ask me, she's shielding him.

Well, nobody's asked ya, so close your gopher trap.

- - You old snappin' turtle!

Silence! Silence! Young man, sit down and be quiet!

Are we to conclude that you deliberately refuse...

to tell us the true facts in this case?

I said all I'm gonna say, and that's nothin'.

It's the opinion of this court and the good law-abiding citizens...

that you constitute a menace to this community,

and we hereby order you to leave town and not to return...

until you can prove that you're respectable... and married.

All right, if that's how you feel, the feeling's mutual.

I wash my hands of you too.

Young lady, are you trying to show contempt for this court?

No. I'm doing my best to hide it.

We've already sent word by pony express to Greasewood City...

that Flower Belle is on her way.

The Ladies Vigilante Committee will cooperate with you there.

Well, good-bye, honey.

Take care of yourself and be a good girl.

I'll be as good as I can, Uncle John.

I put all your baggage on the train, Cousin Flower Belle.

- All right. - Board!

How come you're going my way, Mr. Budge?

No luck in Little Bend?

As a matter of fact, I did quite well up to a certain point.

I was unusually lucky at faro.

I cleaned the house at blackjack,

and I was just beginning to fix up a nice thing at draw poker...

when someone asked to examine the deck.

You're lucky you got away with your head.

Mmm, who's the human buzz saw?

Oh, I understand he's going to Greasewood City to be sheriff.

Yes, it seems they have to import them.

Nobody in town wants the job.

Sounds like the place might be interesting. Mm-hmm.

- Ugh. - Ugh? What are you doing down there?

Uh, how do you do, sir?

Have you any private cars on this train?

Ah, room and bath with exclusive bar?

No. Only day coaches.

Drat.

Allow me a half a tick...

to gather my portmanteau and some valuable belongings.

Milton, my lad, meet me at Greasewood City.

Ugh.

Oh! Oh, dear. Drat.

Did you break your umbrella? You can't break it.

It's a genuine Chamberlain.

Straighten 'em out very easily.

Ah, that's better.

May I present my card?

"Money loaned on clothing, furs"--

Ah. Just a moment. How did that get in there?

Thank you.

Was that chap dragging you across the prairie a full-blooded Indian?

Ah, quite the antithesis. He's very anemic.

Oh, what a pretty ring. Is it a cat's-eye?

Ah, yes, it is a cat's-eye.

The pupil runs the wrong way. It's crossed.

Crossed with a bobcat.

Who is that vision of loveliness up there?

Pardon me. I'll be back. You can keep the card.

Pardon me.

- Nice day. - Is it?

Of course, it's only one man's opinion.

Ah--

May I present my card?

"Novelties & Notions."

What kind of notions you got?

You'd be surprised.

Some are old. Some are new.

Whom have I the honor of addressing, milady?

Mmm, they call me Flower Belle.

Flower Belle. What a euphonious appellation.

Easy on the ears and a banquet for the eyes.

You're kind of cute yourself.

Thank you. I never argue with a lady.

Smart boy.

Thank you again.

Do you ever play cards?

Mmm, don't mind if I do.

I'll show you a few card tricks.

We'll play the first one at two for nothing.

Then if you wish to make a wager, that's okay.

[ Speaking Native Language ]

Indians!

Hey! You boys get away from here!

Private car!

I hate you!

That's murder.

They can't get away with this.

They can't intimidate me.

Get 'em right in the canteen.

Here, take 'em.

Reload.

Flower Belle, take my gun.

This is better than a shootin' gallery.

Fight going on in the other car. Indians are attacking.

Hey, that thing's no good. Give me my slingshot.

Here, take this. Go in there and fight like men.

Come on, boys. Get in there. What are you doing?

Here. Get in-- Get in there and fight like men.

Come on there. Look out. Get out of my way.

What are you trying to do?

Out of my way, mademoiselle. This is a man-sized job.

Backfired on me.

Must've got one of 'em.

Here. Flower Belle!

What are you doing with my hat on? Here.

Get out of here.

There he goes in a shower of feathers.

Nice shootin'. I almost broke one of my fingernails.

Oh, that was swell shootin', Miss Lee.

Ah. A cadaver.

The curse of strong drink.

The sheriff is dead. Long live the sheriff.

I hope that wasn't whiskey you were drinking.

Oh, no, dear, just a little sheep dip.

Panacea for all stomach ailments.
