I'll have to check the scripts (I have the 40s and 60s versions at home). In this version Dolly Tate gets caught tampering with Annie's rifle sight. Although she is foiled, Pawnee Bill, apparently inspired by Dolly, finishes the job. During the final match, Frank realizes that there's something wrong with Annie's gun (because she's missing!) and insists that she use his. I think the intention of the author (or book doctor) here is about the delicacy of the male ego, not "that's the way it's supposed to be." Not sure which version this is. db

Yes, that's a rewrite. In the original, Sitting Bull convinces Annie that she needs to throw the match to placate Frank's ego -- and she does so.
