Wait a minute - Spoiler Alert


At the end of the movie Kincaid turns the stolen loot over to Wylie. He soon catches up with her and they ride off happily together. I suppose this means he/they kept the $60,000 in stolen money instead of returning it to Wells Fargo and claiming the $20,000 reward.

I guess we're supposed to think this is okay because of the way Yancey 'recruited' then later treated Wylie but in my opinion he was no different than Landers who had also stolen the money. Whether he held up the stagecoaches like the poet supposedly did or kept it after the fact, the way he does in the end, changes nothing. He was still stealing from Wells Fargo and their customers; the rightful owners of that money.

Frankly, I'm surprised the Production Code did not object. Wylie did not have 'clean hands' yet he was able to get away with it and ride off into the sunset.
