3:10 to Yuma

Let me warn you. I am Mr. Butterfield.

This is my line. These are my passengers.

You bother any of them, I'll hound you from here to kingdom come.

Now, Mr. Butterfield, we don't aim to bother anybody.

We just aim to get what's underneath that tarpaulin up there. That's all.

I think our cattle are over the ridge. I can hear 'em.

How'd they get over here?

Come on, Pop. Let's go for 'em.

Well, let's let the dust settle first, Son.

Ben.

Tell him to stay where he is.

Stay where you are!

What do you want?

Those are my cattle. I want 'em back.

He'll get 'em back in five minutes.

You'll get 'em back in five minutes.

Wax“

You gonna let them do this to ya?

Not much else I can do.

Don't anybody move! If you move, I'll kill him.

Now lift him up easy. Put him on his horse.

Aren't you gonna do something?

What, and get myself shot too?

That must be Ben Wade and his gang.

- What's his name? - Bill Moons.

- Where does he live? - He used to live in Contention City.

Well, take him there.

I can't. My passengers are due in Bisbee.

We're only a few miles from Bisbee.

Take him to Bisbee and put him on the next coach back.

Where a man lives, that's where he should be buried.

We'll need those horses.

Why?

So you don't ride to the marshal.

Get off.

All right, boys, get off.

We'll turn 'em loose just this side of Bisbee.

You wait!

- My pa will kill you! - Mark.

Let's get the cattle.

Hello there. Hello. Could you help us?

I gotta get these cattle back home.

Well, could you lend us a horse?

Yeah, I'll-I'll bring one back.

Hah!Hey!

What happened? Where are your horses?

Stagecoach was held up.

Then they saw us, Ma, and they took our horses.

And they killed the driver too.

They killed the driver?

See, one of their fellas was on top taking off these bags...

and suddenly the driver grabs him to use for a shield.

Well, do they care? No, sir. They shoot right through him.

It was Ben Wade and his gang.

Ben Wade?

What did you do?

There was 12. What could I do?

We just stood still like they told us.

- And then they took our horses. - And we just watched.

What else could we do? You want us all to get shot?

Boys.

Go saddle a couple of horses.

Let's go.

I ought to take 'em some water too, I guess.

Well, I'm glad you're back safe.

Heavens, anything could have happened.

Oh, there wasn't no danger, not to us anyway.

Well, it just seems so terrible.

- Why, what's terrible? - Nothing.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Just seems terrible that something bad can happen...

and all anybody can do is stand by and watch.

Lots of things happen where all you can do is stand by and watch.

I know, but to have you stand by...

and to have the boys watch.

All right, so that's life.

They're going to have to watch a lot of terrible things.

People get killed every day. Lightning can kill you.

Three years of drought killing my cattle. That's terrible too.

What can I do? I can't make it rain.

You expect me to cool off the sun?

Dan, why are you so cross?

I don't know. You just seem to expect something from me that I'm not.

No, I don't. Not really.

I can't go chasing after outlaws, my cattle dying all over.

If I don't save them, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Give it to me. I'll hold it.

Ten years of sweatin'.

You think I want to lose this place?

Cattle aren't dying over at Al Parker's ranch.

No, of course not.

He's got a stream over there don't run dry.

Have you asked him to let you use it?

Now, what good?

Six months' water right costs $200.

Now, where am I going to get $200?

Oh, Dan, you have to do something.

You can't just stand by and watch.

You work so hard.

I work so hard, and the boys.

Maybe it'll rain.

What if you went into town and borrowed the money?

You know I hate to go begging other people for help.

Borrowing isn't begging.

It could save us.

I suppose I could try.

Come on.

You gonna look for the horses, Pa?

No. I got to go into Bisbee first, Son.

On the way back, I'll look for the horses.

That loan would take care of six months.

By then, it's bound to rain.

All this will be green in six months.

The cattle will be fat. The boys.

Maybe you and me won't be so tired all the time.

In six months, we'll be happy, won't we?

Sure. We'll be happy.

Here's to the boss.

He had to say good-bye to one of the outfit, and that's too bad.

If it hadn't been good-bye for him...

it could've been good-bye for some of the rest of us.

Boss.

- Is the marshal around? - He's in the office.

Well, you tell him that the coach from Contention was held up.

We passed it on the way in.

They don't have any horses.

- Now, did you hear what I said? - Yeah, I heard.

Well, why don't you go tell him?

The marshal takes his nap between 1:00 and 2:00.

Oh, he does? Well, that's nice. That way, he don't get tired.

You fellas come from the north?

Down here, everybody naps between 1:00 and 2:00.

Everybody except you.

The boss is nappin' now.

I take my nap between 2:00 and 3:00.

I guess we've come too early.

This place, does it keep your boss busy?

No. He does other things too.

Like what other things?

He has like a little bank, and he loans money to ranchers.

What does he do? Does he keep the money here?

See, he doesn't have any money anymore.

What with the drought, nobody pays back.

That's too bad.

Miss, if my outfit's asking you too many questions...

well, you just say so, huh?

See, we've been on a cattle drive for about three months...

and when you walk into a place like this and...

see a nice girl like you -

Well, it's nice.

How far away is the Mexican border?

Nobody knows exactly. It's never been decided.

I think we can find it all right.

When the marshal wakes up, you tell him that the coach from Contention was robbed.

And you tell him the driver was killed, huh?

- Killed? - Killed.

Oh. Oh, if there's a killin', I'm supposed to wake him.

It's only robbery he don't wanna be waked for.

Marshal!

Wake up. The coach has been robbed and Bill Moons was killed.

Marshal, Bill Moons was killed. These fellas outside seen it.

How far back was it?

- It was about 10 miles. - They took the horses too.

Did you hear that, Marshal?

Why didn't you fellas try and help?

We were all strung out.

We didn't see it till we looked back up here at the pass.

That's right.

Go get everybody.

Where you fellas from?

- Prairie Cattle Company. - I didn't know they got this far.

Well, you see, they just bought 60,000 head down in Mexico...

and they sent us down there to drive 'em in.

Then you won't be staying in town long?

No, just long enough to have a drink.

Alex Potter!

I told you he had rheumatism!

Anyway, he sold his horse. Now, you know that.

He can use one of my horses.

Suspicious old goat.

- Where's Alex Potter? - Sleeping it off, I guess.

I don't think he wants to leave town with us here.

Scatter and cross the border. We'll meet in Nogales tonight.

What's holding up the boss?

Don't worry about him. He'll be along.

He can handle that hick posse single-handed.

Hyah! Hyah!

Come on.

Haven't I seen you someplace?
