The rope should've been pulled and the town fighting the Morgans. Ben doesn't know why there's no shooting.
Hoss tells him how and when to pull the rope. The doctor comes up and says he's not good with a gun, but he'll do what he can. Hoss checks to see if Tom's ready, only to find the position empty. He takes a bottle and gun and goes upstairs. He goes to the saloon and sees most of the town there drowning their guilt and cowardice. Hoss agrees, he probably will be.Īs sundown draws nearer, Tom needs a drink to fortify himself. They manage to side step Ben's questions about the town's assistance saying things like, "All that are willing are ready." As Hoss leaves, Anne says Hoss can't fight the Morgans alone, he'll be killed. Despite the fact that he's the man that got her husband hanged, she lets him in. She comments sarcastically that he won't need it with all his "friends" around, then sincerely tells him not to put his faith in the town. Tom's job will be to pull the rope when the gang has crossed it.īen asks Anne bring him a gun. He starts building the barricades and he and Tom hide the rope that will hold the Morgans in. Hoss is desperate and will take even the drunk lawyer. Some even blame Ben for bringing this on the town. Hoss goes around town trying to recruit help, but everyone refuses. Ben says they should allow the Morgans to come to town, but to be ready with a trap for them. The lawyer, Tom Pryor, is now the town drunk (he's blames himself for wrongly hanging Anne's husband) and he laughs when he sees how the town is now ready to hand Ben over rather than protect him. There's a note attached saying the Morgans are coming at sundown for Ben. A Paiute brings the bodies back to Virginia City. The posse falls into a trap at the Morgan camp and all are killed. She tells Ben not to depend on his "friends." They let a lawyer convince them to hang an innocent man and now her husband is dead and she's a saloon girl. Her husband thought he had friends in town, but they all turned their backs on him, all except Ben. After everyone leaves, Ben apologizes to Anne for the inconvenience. Ben isn't as confident, the Morgans are tough. They assure him that the posse will get the rest of the Morgan gang. Many townsmen come to Ben's room congratulating him and promising not to forget what they owe him. She owes Ben and remembers what he did for her. Ben is shot in return and the gang gets away.īen is badly wounded and the doctor doesn't think he should return to the Ponderosa, so Anne offers to let him stay at her place. Defending the clerk and Hoss, Ben shoots one of the robbers, a brother in the Morgan gang. While Adam and Joe are in Sacramento, Ben and Hoss are caught in a bank robbery. Leader Carl Morgan vows to avenge his death and the town cowers in fear. Ben gets shot but manages to shoot one of Morgan's brothers.
