As the killer! Laramie, starring Raymond Burr as Captain Lee Quince, specially transcribed tales of the dark and tragic ground of the wild frontier.
The saga of fighting men who rode the rim of empire, and the dramatic story of Lee Quince, captain of cavalry. Sergeant Gorse, did Mr. Patrol? Yes, sir.
Prepare to dismount. Dismount. Welcome back, Captain. Angus Hargin Jenkins. Made you daggard in. He's been expecting you. Come in. Oh, Lee, glad you're back. That makes both of us major. Oh, you're fine with anything.
No trouble. Some of the dog soldiers are restless. But so far, no sue of left treaty territory. That's good. Yep. Except I've had a 10-day ride for nothing. Well, it's no matter. We have to investigate every report.
You know that. I know. But like I said, I'm glad you're back. I'm not sure you'll be. Why? You're in time to welcome an old friend of yours. Huh? Who? His orders read Lieutenant R.C.
Went. Robbie? That's right. Major Went. He is signed here. You're on the post already arrived an hour ago. He'd be reporting any minute. Wanna stay and see him? You want me to? It's up to you.
You'll have to face him sooner or later anyway, I suppose. Major. He's an old friend. Nothing can change that. You still feel that way? Yep. Where will he be assigned? Sea Company is short an officer.
I saw him. Can I have him? You can transfer Hancock to sea. Why? Maybe I can ease things a little. What about yourself? You think he likes serving under you, an officer or one served under him?
You'll do alright. He's a good officer. Well, I can't say much for him now. Five posts in two years. And he couldn't face it out at any of them. Now we're stuck with him. Drunkard a troublemaker and a coward.
