[first lines]
Harrison Destry:
[narrating] There's a lot of magic in the word "gold". Men who had never done a day of work in their life would break their backs for it... even die for it. A lot of them did. Then, when the excitement was all over, you sometimes wondered if it had been worth it. 'Course, you couldn't really blame the gold - just depended on how a man handled it. Me? I'd like enough to spend and not enough to get me in trouble, because trouble's a thing I try to stay away from. My name's Destry. I like peace and quiet - providing it's of my own choosing. I spent some time in Texas State Prison, but that's not the kind of peace and quiet I'm talking about. A matter of fact, I've been spending a lot of time looking for the fellow who framed me and got me into that mess.
