Summary

Podcast Summary: "Capture of Lizzie Stone"

Introduction

In the February 2, 2025 release of Harold's Old Time Radio, listeners are transported back to the vibrant era of radio drama with the captivating episode titled "Capture of Lizzie Stone." This episode masterfully weaves a tale of outlaws, loyalty, and redemption in the wild landscapes reminiscent of classic Westerns. Hosted by Harold's Old Time Radio, the story unfolds with rich characters and intense dialogues that echo the Golden Age of Radio shows like Dragnet and The Shadow.

Setting the Scene

The episode opens in the spring of 1878, introducing us to Jack Wyatt, a member of Lizzie Stone's notorious gang. The gang has been successfully eluding capture, having robbed the Laramie Wells Fargo office twice and holding up the Limestone stage consistently. Jack reminisces about their “pretty passable month,” highlighting the gang’s proficiency and the camaraderie among its members.

Character Introductions and Dynamics

Lizzie Stone, portrayed as both beautiful and formidable, is a central figure. Jack Wyatt describes her as “a pretty girl… with a two-gun holster around her waist” (00:32). Despite her alluring appearance, Lizzie is tough and demands to be called "Lizzie Butt," a nickname the gang tolerates despite its playful nature.

Supporting characters include Sam Andrews and other gang members who contribute to the lively campfire conversations. The dialogue between Jack and Sam reveals the tight-knit relationships and underlying tensions within the gang, especially as Lizzie begins to exhibit signs of change.

Rising Tension and Internal Conflict

The plot thickens when Lizzie starts contemplating abandoning her life of crime. During a campfire scene, she announces her decision to quit the gang, stating, “I may give up my life of crime altogether” (05:19). This declaration shocks her gang members, particularly Sam Andrews, who challenges her resolve. The internal conflict is palpable as Lizzie asserts her determination: “The first man who tries to stop me will get a bullet right between the eyes” (06:10).

Jack Wyatt attempts to reason with Lizzie, suggesting that her newfound resolve might stem from a romantic involvement with a new deputy marshal, hinting at complex motivations driving her desire to change.

Introduction of the Deputy Marshal

The narrative introduces Slim Grant, a young U.S. Deputy Marshal with unspoken feelings for Lizzie. Slim's dilemma becomes evident when he grapples with his duty to capture Lizzie and his personal affections. Lizzie’s declaration to leave the life of crime complicates Slim’s mission, adding emotional depth to the unfolding drama.

The Capture Plan

As Lizzie sticks to her decision to quit, the gang members decide to target a new gold shipment entering town, indicating Lizzie's influence over the gang despite her intention to leave. The tension escalates when the stagecoach arrives without the usual delay, signaling potential trouble. Lizzie's interactions with Slim become more frequent, culminating in a pivotal moment where she pretends to be her twin sister to evade capture.

Climactic Confrontation

The climax occurs at the MacDonald place, where Lizzie's horse tires, leading her to seek refuge. Slim, now conflicted between duty and love, leads a posse to apprehend her. In a dramatic showdown, Lizzie confronts Slim, allowing emotions and past affiliations to surface. Her heartfelt plea, “I'll go across the border and lead a good, clean, upstanding life in Utah,” (20:05) underscores her sincere desire for change.

Resolution and Redemption

In a twist of fate, Lizzie's resolve and Slim's compassion lead to her eventual surrender without further bloodshed. The aftermath reveals Lizzie's transformation and the dissolution of her gang, symbolizing the triumph of personal redemption over a life of crime. The episode concludes with Lizzie’s disappearance from the town and the establishment of the library in place of her gang's nefarious activities, hinting at a hopeful future.

[Jack Wyatt]

An original radio play entitled the Capture of Lizzie Stone. Our star, Miss Ginger Rogers. So you want to hear about the capture of Lizzie Stone, huh? I reckon you come to the right fellow. I'm Jack Wyatt and I was in her gang. Well, it was back in the spring of 78. We was hiding out over to the Salt Lick Flats. We had a pretty good month, too. Robbed the Laramie Wells Fargo office twice. Held up the limestone stage every Thursday for five weeks running and only missed one payroll day at the Lavender Gulch Savings Bank. Yep, all in all, it had been a fairly passable month. And as it was up until the night I'm going to tell you about, we were sitting around the campfire. Funny, I can still see Lizzie just as clear as day. She was a pretty girl. Don't let nobody tell you different. About as pretty as to come. Even in them Levi's and shafts. And with a two gun holster around her waist. But you couldn't let them looks hool you. Lizzie was tough, but she couldn't stand nobody calling her Lizzie. Always said her name was Lizzie Butt. I guess it was a tom fool idea. But most of us found one smart thing to overlook.

[Sam Andrews]

Anybody else want some more java?

[Jack Wyatt]

I guess I could stand a cup.

[Sam Andrews]

Cookie coming up, Jack. Coming up.

[Jack Wyatt]

[Sam Andrews]

There's still some in the pot. How about you, Lizzie?

[Elizabeth Stone]

The name's Elizabeth. Or had you forgotten?

[Sam Andrews]

All right, all right. Just a slip of the tongue, Gornis. Don't see why you had to put holes in our only coffee pot.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I'll stop your fret. Next time I go into town, I'll steal some sod and you can douse that campfire. Somebody's coming. Kansas, get over there behind them. Soon you come at the head of the trail. Rhode Island.

[Sam Andrews]

Well, limestone's still there. Elizabeth. I mean, they had a posse out looking for us, but they got lost and they sent another posse out to find them.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Did you run into anybody?

[Sam Andrews]

Nobody in particular.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, I thought maybe that new deputy marshal might have spotted you.

[Sam Andrews]

Now he was out leading one of the posse.

[Jack Wyatt]

Seem mighty interested in that new deputy, Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Forget it, Jack.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, it just seems like you're always.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I said forget it.

[Jack Wyatt]

Sure.

[Sam Andrews]

Oh, hey, I brung you something. Look here. Take a look. Latest wanted posters just come off of the press back in Cheyenne. I took the first one that they put up in the post office. Here's one of you tacks one of Cam's. This. Well, here's yourn boy.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Thanks, Sam.

[Sam Andrews]

What about me? Oh, I'm awful sorry, Rhode Island. They didn't have one of you. Aw, now, don't take it so hard. Next time we do a job, we'll let you get captured long enough so they can get a snapshot.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Somebody's gonna pay for this. Do you hear me? Somebody's gonna pay for this.

[Jack Wyatt]

What's the matter, boy?

[Elizabeth Stone]

This darn picture of me. It's an old one. It was took when I was just a scrawny kid. It don't take do nothing for me.

[Sam Andrews]

Well, they hacked your auntie, though.

[Elizabeth Stone]

They have?

[Sam Andrews]

Yeah, sure. Read it there on the bottom. Right there herself.

[Elizabeth Stone]

You know darn well I can't read Sam Andrews. And if you're looking for trouble, you.

[Jack Wyatt]

Know I'll read it to you, boss. Want it dead or alive? Lizzie. It says Lizzie. I'm just reading what it says.

[Elizabeth Stone]

All right, all right, go ahead.

[Jack Wyatt]

Lizzie Stone. Reward for her or a body resembling her. $10,000.

[Elizabeth Stone]

10,000? Don't seem like they could have had that much left unless. We've been mighty careless lately.

[Sam Andrews]

They got a new shipment of gold in last week.

[Jack Wyatt]

New shipment?

[Sam Andrews]

Over 15,000 here.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, that's more like it.

[Sam Andrews]

When do we get started, boss? There ain't no moon tonight and I'm all saddled.

[Jack Wyatt]

All right. A hunch. This is going to be a good day.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, you ain't gonna need them.

[Jack Wyatt]

Huh?

[Elizabeth Stone]

You heard me.

[Sam Andrews]

What Sam says has a shipment of gold in town and all the men folks is out posseing.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I don't care if they're out of hayridin. We ain't robbing the limestone bank. Not tonight, not tomorrow, not never. What?

[Sam Andrews]

But what has come over you? Yeah, what's happened, Lizzie? You've changed.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I ain't changed so much. You can call me back.

[Sam Andrews]

I'm sorry, all right?

[Elizabeth Stone]

You might as well know. It Now, I'm a quit boy. I'm not running this gang no more. As a matter of fact, I may give up my life of crime altogether.

[Sam Andrews]

Well, but. Well, why?

[Elizabeth Stone]

I got two reasons.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

First, I bet it's that new deputy marshal.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Don't jump to no conclusions there, Rhode Island.

[Sam Andrews]

Well, maybe you right, Rhode Island. She sure has been pensive ever since he took her prisoner last month. Yes, it was mighty strange the way she got away. Tying him up with his own lasso. And all while a person would think he wanted her to escape.

[Elizabeth Stone]

You shut up about him.

[Sam Andrews]

But boss, you can't just cut loose because of some fella. Why, sure not. If you want him so bad, I'll go into town and get him first thing in the morning. I'll bring him back all tied up and helpless and real cooperating.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I told you all to keep your mouth shut.

[Sam Andrews]

What?

[Elizabeth Stone]

I said I was quitting and I am. I intend to never commit no more crimes again. And the first man who tries to stop me will get a bullet right between the eyes. You understand?

[Sam Andrews]

Well, sure, sure. Now, come on, boys. We might just as well mosey over to tent and play a little red doe.

[Jack Wyatt]

Tis that new marshal, ain't it?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Now, looky here, Jack.

[Jack Wyatt]

Now take it easy, Elizabeth. I've known you longer than the rest of the boys. I'm entitled to my safe.

[Elizabeth Stone]

All right, all right. I'm a listening.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, maybe you fell in love. It's possible. I seen it happen before. But you can't just throw over a whole career for that.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I can do whatever I like, Jack.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, stop and think for a minute. That deputy swore to bring you to justice. That's what they sent him out here for.

[Elizabeth Stone]

And what are you driving at?

[Jack Wyatt]

Just this, Elizabeth. The minute you ride into Limestone, he's going to arrest you.

[Elizabeth Stone]

10 to 1 he don't.

[Jack Wyatt]

Huh?

[Elizabeth Stone]

10 to 1 he don't even try.

[Sam Andrews]

You think I'll have time for another drink before the stage arrives, bartender? Yep, but due now, isn't it?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Yep.

[Sam Andrews]

I think it'll be on time. Nope. Is it usually late? Nope. Then why don't usually arrive what ain't showed up for the past six weeks? Lizzie Stone's gang's out in the hills. It's getting mighty hard to hire stage drivers in Limestone. But there must be something that I.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Can get onto your house. Everybody.

[Sam Andrews]

Now, what is it, Mamie?

[Elizabeth Stone]

The stage is coming into town and the drivers are setting up.

[Sam Andrews]

Well, I gotta see.

[Jack Wyatt]

Come on.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Come on. Welcome to Limestone Fire. Thought you managed to fight him off.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, I didn't, Marshal.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You didn't? What happened?

[Jack Wyatt]

Nothing. We just driven along through the sagebrush, me and my passenger. Then nothing happened.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You had a passenger? You mean somebody was fool enough to.

[Jack Wyatt]

Yep. A young lady. Picked her up at Laramie. Right pretty to. Must be a Easterner at least. Why, she's wearing laces on a bustle.

[Sam Andrews]

Well, that's one young woman I'd like to have a look at. Howdy, ma'am. We're mighty blue.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Oh, no.

[Sam Andrews]

Hit the dirt, everybody.

[Elizabeth Stone]

It's Lizzie Stone. Why, what's the matter? Where's everybody gone?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

I got you covered, Lizzy.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I don't understand.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Put up your hands and don't try to draw. I'm behind this stump and I'm making a modesty. Don't try none of your tricks. We know you're Lizzie Stone.

[Elizabeth Stone]

But I'm not.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

What do you mean?

[Elizabeth Stone]

I'm not Elizabeth Stone.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Yeah? Who are you then?

[Elizabeth Stone]

I'm her twin sister.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, sir, there was Lizzie Stone giving up a money making profession and pretending to be her own twin sister. She told folks that she'd just come out from the finishing school in Charleston. And by George, if they didn't believe her, especially that young U.S. deputy Marshal. The next afternoon he took her for a walk and showed her the town. Then they stopped down under the cottonwood trees with a creek and he sort of got his arm around it.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

What's the matter, Nancy?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Oh, it's nothing, Marshall. Nothing. Y'all can help.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

My friends call me Slim.

[Elizabeth Stone]

They do?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

That's because I'm tall and, well, Slim. Now come on, tell me what's troubling you?

[Elizabeth Stone]

It's about my sister Elizabeth. I had no idea she was so. So notorious. I guess I'll just have to take the next stage back to Charleston.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Oh, you mustn't do that.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Y'all don't understand. I don't have any money.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You could get a job.

[Elizabeth Stone]

What kind of a job could there be for little old me?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Well, there must be something. Oh, sure, I know. In the library.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Library?

[Sam Andrews]

Sure.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Lawyer Phillips passed on a couple of weeks ago. Left his law books and a copy of Shakespeare and the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe. Nobody's claimed them. So we can start a library and you can run it.

[Elizabeth Stone]

But I can't read. I mean, that is, I've been reading so much in that exclusive finishing school.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Why then. It's just the thing. Come on, say you'll stay.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Aw, Slim, do you really want me to stay?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You don't know how much I want You. Marshall. Marshall. What is it, Ed?

[Jack Wyatt]

That's God's word. Lizzie Stone's on the rampage. They say she's headed for purple goats.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Don't be ridiculous. She can't be afraid.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You don't know your sister very well, Nancy. Come on, Slim.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Slim. Whisper.

[Jack Wyatt]

Boss.

[Elizabeth Stone]

What? What? Who's there?

[Jack Wyatt]

Me.

[Sam Andrews]

Jack.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Is he gone now? Looky here. Jack. What are you doing?

[Jack Wyatt]

I wanted to talk to you. Sure had a hard time getting rid of that marshal.

[Elizabeth Stone]

So it was you that stopped that. I was on the rampage. Listen to me, Jack Wilder.

[Jack Wyatt]

I just. Just wanted to have a little chat.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, there's nothing I want to say to you except get out and leave me alone.

[Jack Wyatt]

Now. Now, listen, boss. Boys had a little meeting this morning.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I ain't interested.

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, you better be. They decided to go after that gold shipping and they want you to lead them.

[Elizabeth Stone]

When I say I'm through, I'm through.

[Jack Wyatt]

Afraid you can't quit, Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Hey, what. What are you doing with that there and our gun?

[Jack Wyatt]

We drew lots as to who was to bring you back. And I lost.

[Elizabeth Stone]

All right, Jack. I guess you win. Well, let's go.

[Jack Wyatt]

I just brought one horse.

[Elizabeth Stone]

If I ride double, that's all right with me. But ain't you gonna help me up into the saddle? After all, I am a lady.

[Jack Wyatt]

Why, sure, boss. You raise your foot.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

What?

[Jack Wyatt]

You're new, Lady Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Step back, then.

[Jack Wyatt]

Hey, look, Somebody's coming. You wouldn't turn me in.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Not your friend.

[Elizabeth Stone]

All right, Jack, I'll protect you. But you gotta do just as I say. Now remember, I got your gun inside of this here fur mop. My, you're back awful fast, Slim.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

It's not the fault salon. She weren't a rampaging at all. Looks like you were right about. Who's this fellow?

[Elizabeth Stone]

This is Jack. Jack Wilson.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Wilson?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Yes.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You new to these parts, stranger? Honey, I'd swear I'd seen him before. Or a picture of him.

[Elizabeth Stone]

That's possible, Slim. You see, he's a writer. And they always put his picture on his books. You see, he's gonna stay here in limestone for a while, working on a book. And while he's here, gonna help me in the library. Oh, aren't you, Mr. Wilson?

[Jack Wyatt]

Well, I.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Aren't you?

[Jack Wyatt]

Yeah. Yes, of course. In the library. The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Thunder and lightning enter three witches. First witch. When shall we 3W meet again? Into what? What's the matter, Elizabeth?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Oh, Jack, I don't want to hear any more about that today.

[Jack Wyatt]

You're supposed to be able to Read. You have to know what's in these.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I suppose so, but you're starting right in with witches. And last night it was Edgar Allen Poe. And I'm not sleeping so good lately.

[Jack Wyatt]

Elizabeth.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Oh, go on, Jack, beat it. Anyway, here comes Slim.

[Jack Wyatt]

All right, see you later. Morning.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Morning. Morning, Nancy.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Hello.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

I. Nancy? Yes, you. You've been here a couple of weeks now?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Yes.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

And I've known you a couple of weeks?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Yes.

[Jack Wyatt]

And?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Well, it isn't very long, but it's a couple of weeks.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Go on, Slim.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Well, I was wondering.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Yes.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

What I mean is.

[Jack Wyatt]

Yes.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

No, sir, I just can't.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Can't do what?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Can't ask you to marry me.

[Elizabeth Stone]

You mean you're afraid I'll say no?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

I'm afraid you'll say yes. What I mean. I mean I'd want you to say yes, but if you did, it'd be just awful.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Why, I don't quite understand y'all, Mr. Grant.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Well, it's this a way, Nancy. I'm plump crazy about you, but I was sent here to capture Lizzie Stone. That's my assignment. And if we was to get married you. I'd still have that to do. And it'd mean I'd have to spend my working hours gunning for my own sister in law. I wouldn't feel right shooting her down like a wild coyote. Why, it'd be almost like killing a relative.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, if my sister deserves to be punished, I wouldn't hold it against you.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

No, Nancy, I can't ask you to marry me until after I've captured Lizzie.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Then you made up your mind?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Yep. No matter how long we have to wait, that's how it's gotta be.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I see. Well, don't worry. It may not be too long.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

What do you mean?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Oh, nothing really. Except that. Well, I've just got a feeling you're gonna capture my sister sooner than y'all think.

[Jack Wyatt]

Clear the streets.

[Sam Andrews]

Lizzie Stone's riding into town.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Hi, Katrina. Building in the cellar. Lizzy's almost here.

[Jack Wyatt]

She's coming up over the big hill.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Run for your life. Let them what wants me come out here and get.

[Jack Wyatt]

Yep, it was Lizzy all right, giving the town as fine a shooting up as it had had in the past 20 years. Did my heart good to watch that gal pumping them six. She kept riding up and down the main drag, a blazing away and a shouting for them that was a hunting her to come and get her. But the local sheriff and his deputies was hiding in the storm cellar under the saloon. And even Slim didn't Seem much of the getting moved along. About nightfall, Lizzie's horse begun to get tired, what with all that galloping up and down. So Lizzie rode him out to the old MacDonald place. Old? On the edge of town, tethered him in back and bedded down for the night. By the next morning, Slim had managed to round up enough law abiding citizens to form a posse and led him down to the MacDonald place.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Listen, men, it's only an hour to sun up. If we aim to get her before daylight, we better be moving pretty quick.

[Sam Andrews]

There's just one thing I can't figure. How'd she manage to hold out so long?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

What she did.

[Sam Andrews]

Doing it.

[Jack Wyatt]

Okay, Elizabeth, you're cold. There you are. Three aces.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Too bad, Jack. I filled my full house. Deuces and phrase. That makes you owe me $125.

[Jack Wyatt]

Okay, okay.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I think you've lost enough for one evening. Besides, it's almost morning and I've got to go home and change into my store clothes. If any of them mavericks makes a move while I'm gone, just fire a shot or two in any direction that'll stop.

[Jack Wyatt]

Oh, boss, this don't make sense.

[Elizabeth Stone]

It does to me. Raise that back window for me, will you?

[Jack Wyatt]

Sure. Is nobody out there.

[Elizabeth Stone]

They see me a coming? There won't be.

[Jack Wyatt]

All right, there you go. I sure hope you know what you're doing.

[Elizabeth Stone]

So do I, Jack. So do I.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

All right, Lizzy, this is your last chance. Come out with your hands up or we're coming in to get you.

[Sam Andrews]

Ain't heard from her for the last hour. Maybe she's giving some slip.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Ready? Are you still in there, Lizzy? Lizzy?

[Jack Wyatt]

She's there.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Well, men, if you're not with me, I'm going in alone. Are you with me? I thought so. All right, Lizzie.

[Jack Wyatt]

Here I come.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Slim. Slim. What's happening, Slim?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

You oughtn't to be here, Nancy. This ain't no place for a woman. Your sister's in there, Elizabeth? Yep, and I'm going in after her.

[Elizabeth Stone]

But you can't, Slim. She'll kill y'all.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Ain't got no choice.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Yes, you have, Slim. I'll go.

[Sam Andrews]

What?

[Elizabeth Stone]

My sister's caused too much bloodshed already and it's my duty to put a name to it.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

I won't let you, Nancy.

[Sam Andrews]

Oh, wait a minute, Marshall. The girl's got a point there.

[Jack Wyatt]

Sure give her a chance.

[Sam Andrews]

Now.

[Jack Wyatt]

We ain't got nothing to lose.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

No, I won't hear of it.

[Elizabeth Stone]

I've made up my mind, Slim. I'm going in there and have it out with Elizabeth.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

But, Nancy. Well, I guess I can't talk you out of it. Here. You better wear my gun. There you are. Do you know how to draw?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, I guess it's like.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

No, no, no. You point them the other way.

[Elizabeth Stone]

No, like this.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Well, goodbye, Nancy. And the best of luck always.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Goodbye. She's just walking right into her own funeral.

[Sam Andrews]

No shots yet. I bet Lizzie's waiting so she can take careful aim.

[Jack Wyatt]

Look, she. She's on the porch.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Me, Lance. I want to talk to y'all. I'm coming in. There. She got inside. Come on, let's move up in this room.

[Jack Wyatt]

I want to hear what's going on here with us.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Hello, Elizabeth. What are you doing in here? You've got to give yourself up, Elizabeth. Not as long as I got a breath of life and a trigger finger. But they'll catch you sooner or later. And then it'll be worse. What do you mean, worse? I mean, think of their disgrace when they do pass final things. Think of what he'll mean to Mother and Father. It'll break Mother's heart. Why do you have to bring up Mother and Father too? I know those people out there. They're good people. And if you really want a reform, they'll give you another chance. Oh, Nancy. Nancy, I give you my word. I'll go across the border and lead a good, clean, upstanding life in Utah. I believe you, Nancy. Elizabeth. I'll go out and speak to them friends of Limestone. I have a favor to ask. My sister is.

[Sam Andrews]

We heard her, Miss Nancy. If she wants to go away, he can go.

[Elizabeth Stone]

You won't even try to stop her?

[Sam Andrews]

Not on your life.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, you heard them, Elizabeth. Goodbye and good luck. Goodbye, sis. Don't reckon I'll ever see you again. Ever. Goodbye. All right, Jack. Turn my horse loose and give him the whip.

[Jack Wyatt]

There it goes.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

There she goes.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Yep, there she goes.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Yep.

[Sam Andrews]

Look at how low she sits her saddle.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Next. Nancy, honey, are you all right?

[Elizabeth Stone]

Oh, of course I am, Cleo.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Nancy, that was a mighty brave thing you did.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Oh, isn't it wonderful? Elizabeth is a going straight.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

It sure is. Well, now that the excitement's died down and the folks are going back to town, I guess you better give me back my gun.

[Jack Wyatt]

Lizzie.

[Elizabeth Stone]

My laser. Sam, you. You know.

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

I've known all along, Elizabeth. Ever since I recognized Jack Wyatt's picture from a wanted poster.

[Elizabeth Stone]

Well, what are you gonna do about it?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

I ain't got no choice.

[Elizabeth Stone]

You mean I gotta serve time?

[TurboTax Ad Narrator]

Yep. Just about life, I reckon Aw.

[Jack Wyatt]

And that's the way it happened. Nancy Stone and Slim Grant was married the very next week. Her sister weren't never heard from again. Just disappeared right off the face of the earth. Matter of fact, nobody never heard nothing about her gang neither. Except that there was something mighty peculiar about the boys who come to town right after the wedding and took jobs in the library. Yes, sir, Maybe it ain't in the history books this way, but that's how they captured the toughest woman who ever galloped across the plains. Lizzie Fairhot. I mean, Lizzie Birth Stone.

[Elizabeth Stone]

It.
