Quotes:
Claude Griswold: I should have known from her voting record in Congress, there was something in her past.
Ellen Griswold: You don't get expelled for staying out all night, unless there is a man connected with it. Who was it, Ag?
Matt Cole: Doesn't the president have anything to say about it?::Doctor Pitt: Oh yes, of course, but only if Mr. Griswold has said it first.
Matt Cole: This overwhelming desire to return to the past... girlhood memories, old pictures, old sofas, old sweethearts. Old hat!::Agatha Reed: You've been on war fronts so long that a decent atmosphere is bound to seem a little incongruous.
Matt Cole: Open your eyes, Aggie. This is a lost world up here. And Merrill's the perfect president for it.
Agatha Reed: We were a nice snapshot but never a family portrait.
Agatha Reed: You mustn't mind Woody, her mind's always on the tip of her tongue.
Miss 'Woody' Woods: I know who you are. You're here to cause trouble, that's who you are.
Virginia Merrill: Come on, Mary Nell, let's leave Miss Reed alone with her memories.::Miss 'Woody' Woods: Miss Reed is alone with her memories; outside under a tree.::Virginia Merrill: Then who're...::Miss 'Woody' Woods: Me? I just carry the typewriter.::Virginia Merrill: Oh, you're her secretary! Oh, I'm so glad!::Miss 'Woody' Woods: Well, don't shoot off any firecrackers!
Miss 'Woody' Woods: [Seeing Agatha searching the desk drawer] May I ask what you're doing?::Agatha Reed: There's a secret compartment in this desk; I used to keep brownies in it to hide them from Ellie.::Miss 'Woody' Woods: Who's Ellie?::Agatha Reed: My roommate. You share your clothes, your perfume, and even your themes with your roommate , but never your... [Pulling out a tin, and opening it] brownies!::Miss 'Woody' Woods: Zooks! they must be stale!::Agatha Reed: [chewing] Fresh this week. go on, have one.::Miss 'Woody' Woods: No thanks. They stick to my teeth.

Plot: Dodge City. A wide-open cattle town run by Jeff Surrett. Even going on a children's Sunday outing is not a safe thing to do. What the place needs is a fearless honest Marshal. A guy like Wade Hatton, who helped bring the railroad in. It may not help that he fancies Abbie Irving, who won't have anything to do with him since he had to shoot her brother. But that's the West.

Taglines: It's Errol Flynn In His Greatest Role . . . A picture for every red-blooded son and daughter of the stars and stripes ! West of Chicago there was no law! West of Dodge City there was no God!
Quotes:
Wade Hatton: I'm going to have you indicted for murder as an accessory after the fact.::Bud Taylor: I had nothing to do with it!::Wade Hatton: You're going to be dancing in thin air just the same as Yancey. Now, do you want to swing or do you want to tell me and save your neck?
[Wade throws one of Surrett's men out of the barbershop]::Wade Hatton: About ten days for this customer, Tex. Five to cool off and five to think it over.
Tex Baird: Hey, Wade! You ain't gonna keep me in here, are you?::Wade Hatton: I'm sorry, Tex, you read that notice the same as anyone else. Three days in there won't do you a bit of harm.::Tex Baird: Ah, but you can't do this to me after all we have been through together. We fought the war together, built a railroad together. We ate, drank, slept, lived and died together.::Wade Hatton: And now we're going to be in jail together. You in there and me out here.
Jeff Surrett: You see, I make $100,000 a year one way or another. Frankly, I don't need that much money. So naturally, I'd be willing to make a deal with anybody that would, uh, well, sort of see things my way. Make a mighty good deal for both of us.::Wade Hatton: You mean a little friendly bribery, huh?::Jeff Surrett: Well, you can catch more flies with molasses than you can with vinegar.
Dr. Irving: I tell you, Ellen, we're the public disgrace of America. You know what the New York newspapers are saying? There's no law west of Chicago... and west of Dodge City, no God!
Wade Hatton: You know, out here the trail boss has sometimes even got to take the law into his own hands.::Abbie Irving: Oh, yes, pioneering I believe you call it, don't you?
Col. Dodge: Ladies and gentlemen, today a great chapter of history has been written. And we take justifiable pride in bringing this railroad to the terminal furthest in this country. Someday, and I believe in the near future, a great city will spring from this very spot upon which we now stand. A city which will represent all that the West stands for: honesty, courage, morality and culture. For all the noble virtues of civilization, I can see a great metropolis of homes, churches, schools; a fine, decent city which will become the flower of the prairie.
Title Card: Dodge City, Kansas - 1872. Longhorn cattle center of the world and wide-open Babylon of the American frontier - packed with settlers, thieves and gunmen.
Title Card: Dodge City... rolling in wealth from the great Texas trail-herds... the town that knew no ethics but cash and killing.
Wade Hatton: Well, what's the news in Dodge?::Charley: Well, just about the same as always. Gamblin', drinkin', and killin'. Mostly killin'.
