Could you convert this from Dutch to English for me: De openingsscène speelt zich af in het noordwesten van Missouri. De spoorwegen stelen de landerijen van de boeren en onteigenen ze.In 1876 verleent de wetgevende macht van Missouri gratie aan zowel de boeren als aan Jesse en eerlijke James (twee beroemde vogelvrijen uit Missouri).De spoorwegen huren echter detective Allan Pinkerton (Dana Elcar) om de familie James 'te pakken' te nemen.Frank (John Pearce) en Jesse (Robert Duvall) vinden een krant waarop bendelid Cole Younger (Cliff Robertson) plannen heeft geschreven om de First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota, te beroven.Ze rechtvaardigen het beroven van de bank, omdat de amnestiestemming werd verhinderd door een omkoopsom van Pinkerton.De trein met Pinkerton komt het gebied binnen; rechercheurs verkleed als boeren stappen uit en stellen zich op om de bende van James te doden. Door de hinderlaag raakt Cole Younger ernstig gewond en de rechercheurs van Pinkerton komen om. Jesse James komt weliswaar uit een welopgevoed gezin, maar hij raaskalt als een waanzinnige, extatische beschrijving van de ophanden zijnde bankoverval.Jesse en Frank vertrekken om Jesse's 'visioen' na te jagen; Younger en zijn groep volgen al snel.Onderweg pikken de Youngers Clell Miller (R.G.Armstrong) op.Als ze Northfield binnenrijden, worden Younger en de bende begroet door een merkwaardig tafereel: een onbereden stoomlocomotief die midden door Main Street ronkt.Voor de First National Bank staat nog een vreemd geval: een defect stoomorgel op het trottoir.

The opening scene is in northwest Missouri.The railroads are stealing the farmers' properties and dispossessing them.In 1876 the Missouri legislature moves to grant a blanket amnesty to farmers as well as to Jesse and frank James(two celebrated Missouri outlaws. )However,the railroad hires detective Allan Pinkerton(Dana Elcar)to "get" the Jameses.Frank(John Pearce)and Jesse(Robert Duvall)find some newspaper upon which gang member Cole Younger(Cliff Robertson)has written plans to rob the First National Bank in Northfield,Minnesota.They justify robbing the bank because the amnesty vote was blocked by a Pinkerton bribe.The train carrying Pinkerton enters the area; detectives dressed as farmers disembark,positioning themselves to kill the James gang.The resulting ambush leaves Cole Younger seriously wounded and the Pinkerton detectives dead.Although Jesse James comes from educated people,he rants himself into a mad-eyed,ecstatic state describing the upcoming bank robbery.Jesse and Frank leave to pursue Jesse's "vision"; Younger and his group soon follow.On the way the Youngers pick up Clell Miller(R.G.Armstrong. )Upon entering Northfield,a curious sight greets Younger and the gang: a trackless steam engine chugging down the middle of Main Street.In front of the First National Bank is another oddity: a malfunctioning steam calliope on the sidewalk.Cole Younger repairs the calliope's pressure gauge.In Northfield,Younger strikes a nefarious bargain with Mr.Wilcox(Robert R.Harris),the bank's owner,who plans to inveigle the unsuspecting townsfolk to invest their savings - then fleece them,and disappear.Wilcox is seconded by his "yes-man,"Bunker(Elisha Cook,Jr. ),but the upright bookkeeper,Heywood(Jack Manning)denounces them both.Meanwhile,the Jameses and their part of the gang lodge with an elderly lady being evicted over an unpaid mortgage of $80.Jesse hears her rambling story about"don't sell the children"(a group of mannikins); Jesse buys the "Uncle Sam" doll for $80,takes it and confronting the landlord,shoots him dead.At the town's baseball game,the Northfield team wins because Cole Younger blasts the ball to smithereens with his rifle.Younger(calling himself "Mr. King")and Wilcox "converse" over "King's" nearly being robber,and how he wants to protect his money in a safe bank.Another comedic touch at the game is a lanky young man with a goofy grin who is marching around,shouldering a rifle.He's Henry Wheeler(Barry Brown),supposedly a medical student,but wearing impossibly thick-lensed glasses!Younger tries to show Wheeler how to shoot correctly; Wheeler promptly shoots off a man's hat!Later,at a blacksmith's,Younger creates a device for Wheeler's gun allowing him to shoot straight - with unexpected catastrophic results,later.A phony gold shipment "conveniently" arrives near the playing field,"guarded" by Younger's gang.The townsfolk,entranced,rush to put their money in the local bank.Back in town Younger encounters a wild-eyed,incoherent individual, "Crazy" Gustavson(Royal Dano).He is insane because his son never returned from the Civil War.Jesse James and his group ride into town,meeting up with the Youngers and their group.Before the robbery,Cole Younger shoots the town telegrapher through a plate-glass window.Now inside the bank, Wilcox(outflanked in treachery by Younger)is soundly beaten.Bunker(injured)escapes out a back window,but the brave Haywood,who claims he can't open the bank vault's time lock is shot dead by James.
