03:25Howdy, pretty face. You're new around here, aren't you?
03:27Yes, my father and I are on our way out to our new ranch, the Paradise.
03:30Oh, then you must be the Larson girl.
03:32I'm Dale Martin. How'd you like me to show you the way? I'm a right good one-armed driver.
03:36No, please give me my reins and go away.
03:39Spunky little rascal, aren't you?
03:48Help! Help! Help!
03:55Help! Help!
04:13Help! Help!
04:25Help!
04:43Help!
04:55Help!
04:59Help!
05:17Help!
05:18Help!
05:26You can open your eyes now, miss.
05:35You apparently haven't driven very much.
05:37No, but I intend to learn as soon as we get to our new ranch.
05:40New ranch around here?
05:42Yes, it's called the Paradise Ranch. Dad just bought it and we're on our way out there now.
05:46Oh.
05:48What's the matter?
05:49Nothing, miss.
05:50Larson, Ann Larson. My father's Professor Alonzo Larson of Scrippsdale College.
05:54That is, he was until he retired last winter.
05:57Oh, he's not far from here. He'll be looking for me.
05:59Well, I'll help you find him. I'd like to have a talk with him anyway.
06:02All right.
06:10Jenny trying to help you, Lucky?
06:12No, he's probably off someplace rounding up strays.
06:14Some folks never know when to quit work and eat.
06:18Now me.
06:19Oh, the only reason you eat so is you can take that full tonic.
06:22Can't show and you know it.
06:24Son, this tonic's done me plenty of good.
06:27Sure, California, sure.
06:48Shucks.
06:54Shucks.
07:01What?
07:02Look over to the pond. You see something funny?
07:07No.
07:08You mean you don't see nothing?
07:10No, I don't see nothing.
07:12Hey, what's eating you?
07:14All the...
07:19Doggone it, Lucky. I was seeing things.
07:22I'm through. I'm quitting.
07:25No more of that stuff.
07:29Help!
07:32Sounds like somebody in the pond.
07:34Help!
07:37All right, Miss?
07:38I think so.
07:40Help!
07:42Oh, there's him now.
07:44Help!
07:45The boys came from over here.
07:48Help!
07:50Take it easy, Pop. I'll get you.
07:52Help!
07:56Help!
07:59I didn't want these pain-told times to go.
08:02Help!
08:05Dad, help!
08:06Help!
08:07Help!
08:08Help!
08:09Help!
08:10Help!
08:11Help!
08:12Help!
08:13Help!
08:14Help!
08:15Help!
08:16Dad, let him go. Let him loose.
08:30Dad, are you all right?
08:33My papilio. Where is it?
08:36Oh, there.
08:42Quick, somebody give me a dry piece of paper.
08:46There you are.
08:49An excellent specimen of papilio indra.
08:51This will confound that opinionated Zuckerman.
08:54He placed their locality at the Great Salt Lake.
08:57Dad, these gentlemen just saved our lives.
08:59Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I mean gentlemen.
09:01I am most grateful to you, I'm sure.
09:04And Mr. Cassidy of the Bar 20.
09:06Larson is the name. Alonzo Larson.
09:08Recently of the chair of entomology at Scrippsdale College.
09:12Now retired and soon to be a neighbor of yours.
09:14I'm Lucky Jenkins. I work for Hoppy.
09:16Larson?
09:17Alonzo Larson. That handle's right familiar.
09:20He means your name, Carlson.
09:22Oh, I see.
09:23Oh, now I remember.
09:24Knowed a fella by that name long time ago, back in Somerville.
09:28Called him Looney, for short.
09:30Somerville? Looney?
09:32Sure.
09:33Now, what did you say your name was?
09:35His name is Carlson. First name is...
09:37Now, please, Hoppy, please.
09:39First name is Clarence.
09:41Clarence! Clarence Carlson!
09:43Why, of course! Crazy Carlson!
09:46Well, after all these years, imagine our meeting again here.
09:52Crazy. Well, the name still fits him.
09:54But we'll stick to California.
09:56Oh, thanks, Hoppy.
09:57Ernie, you heard that, Lucky.
09:58All right, Clarence.
09:59I mean, California.
10:01Well, Professor, if you and your daughter want to see your new ranch, you better get started.
10:04We'll ride along with you.
10:05Whereabouts is it, Hoppy?
10:06The paradise.
10:08Oh, no!
10:10What's the matter with him?
10:11You'd better have a look at it before we talk about it.
10:14I'll go back to the Bar 20. I'll meet you there.
10:16All right.
10:33Come on in, boys. Get in there.
10:35Get in there!
10:40Well, here we are. Paradise Ranch, so-called.
10:44Where... where are the meadows?
10:47Are you sure this is the right place?
10:50Sure is.
10:52Why, Mr. Bentley, the land agent, assured me
10:55that it is one of the most productive little ranches in this part of the state.
10:59Productive?
11:00If it's rocks and sagebrush you figure to produce.
11:03You won't raise many cattle on this land, Professor.
11:06Or much of anything else.
11:08Did they get you for much, Looney?
11:10All our savings, crazy.
11:14Well, let's take a look inside the house. Maybe it won't be so bad after all.
11:33It's pretty bad now, but you might fix her up with some female doodads.
11:54But, Hal, we gotta make a living here.
11:55Hal, before we go off the deep end, let's take a look at that map of yours.
11:58See what you've got.
11:59Oh, yes. The map. What can I do with that?
12:02Oh, yes. Thank you, my dear. Here it is.
12:07The area outlying the red is ours.
12:10Just when I thought, I was almost sure of it.
12:13What is it, Hoppy?
12:14That box canyon that is on the Paradise.
12:17Those are the rocks we climbed to find those three strays last fall.
12:20Yeah, and Hoppy got lost for a couple of hours. I remember.
12:22Oh, I didn't get lost. I just found something and I was taking a good look at it.
12:26What did you find, Mr. Cassidy?
12:28Traces of silver.
12:29Silver?
12:30Silver? Well, then we're rich.
12:33Ah, that's nothing to get excited about.
12:35It might be a little and it might be a lot.
12:37Silver lies pretty deep. It's much harder to get out than gold.
12:40Ah, what's she used to thinking about it?
12:42Loony's broke and we couldn't scare up enough money to start tunneling even if it was good ore.
12:47Pretty tough, isn't it, Hoppy?
12:48Yeah.
12:50Well, thanks for everything you've done for us.
12:52But I guess we ought to try to get some of our money back and go east.
12:55Bert Bentley won't give up a cent.
12:57Well, then I guess we'll just have to stay here and try to get along somehow.
13:01Maybe I can find the answer.
13:03Where are you going?
13:04I'm going to town.
13:05You two boys stay here and see what you can do for the evening.
13:07You got something in mind, Hoppy?
13:08Don't you need us?
13:09Not this time. It's nothing like that.
13:10This is just a nice, friendly business trip.
13:14Well, Bentley, everybody paid up without an argument.
13:17Hey, Bentley.
13:21I hear you sold that run-down paradise to an Easterner, his daughter.
13:25Yeah, what about it?
13:26They could starve out there, you know.
13:28Well, that's their own lookout, Cassidy.
13:30I'm no guardian angel, you know. I just sell what I can.
13:33Well, if you're going to sell it, why don't you sell it to me?
13:35I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:36I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:37I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:38I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:39I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:40I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:41I'm not going to sell it to you.
13:42You know, I just sell land.
13:43No chance of calling off the deal?
13:45Nope, not a prayer.
13:46Transaction's already recorded.
13:48Professor Larson's the legal owner.
13:51And he can keep it.
13:53That's fine. I just wanted to make sure.
13:59Maybe I ought to go after him and pin his ears back.
14:01You better watch your own. That's one gent I don't want trouble with.
14:04He couldn't make me back down.
14:06Go inside before you talk yourself into something.
14:12Thanks.
14:34Hello, Waite.
14:36Mr. Cassidy!
14:38What can I do for you?
14:39I'd like to have a talk with you if you're not too busy.
14:41not too busy welcome on inside never too busy to talk to my friends.

14:56to buy twenty on all of our twenty doing all right the paradise I want for the
15:03paradise that belongs to Bentley it did he just sold it to a very good friend of
15:08mine Oh too bad that Bentley is certainly taking a lot of people around here when
15:14will they ever learn to investigate before they invest I wouldn't let a nickel on
15:18that place but you say if I told you there was silver on that land traces of
15:24silver and all the hills around here this is not just
15:28a trace I have reason to believe it's
15:30a whole ledge what you must be out of your mind where is it glad to show it to you
15:36it's right on the paradise I'd certainly like to see it now bring in
15:41a sale along with me the things as good as you say we'll talk business and that's
15:45all I ask if you're right about this what
15:48a laugh it'll be on Bentley. So long.

22:04Now, remember, you caught that lippy whatchamacallit, not me.
22:09Oh, look what's coming.
22:12Anthony!
22:24Well, good afternoon, Professor.
22:26War's good till now.
22:27Medley ain't talking to you.
22:28Dry up.
22:30Mr. Medley, I wonder you had the affront written on your face.
22:34Dry up.
22:35Mr. Medley, I wonder you had the affront to come here after the way you cheated me on this property.
22:41Now, now, Professor, it's just a misunderstanding.
22:44Let's go inside.
22:45I'll explain the whole thing to you.
22:46Don't believe a word he says, Lonnie.
22:48He's a lowdown.
22:49Never mind him.
22:50I can clear it all up.
22:51Lonnie!
22:56Broken down place.
22:57I had no idea it was in such a bad condition.
23:05Oh, God, that was sudden.
23:25Well, the only thing I can do is refund every penny of your money right now.
23:29Why, this is most unexpected.
23:32And quite generous of you.
23:33Not at all.
23:34I'm just an honest man.
23:36I, uh, I'd like to have the sales agreement first.
23:40Please.
23:41Why, certainly.
23:42Of course.
23:43I've got it right here.
23:45Let me see.
23:46Yes, of course.
23:47I've got it here somewhere.
23:48Now, where did I put it?
23:50Don't you do it, Lonnie.
23:51Wait, Papa!
23:56Why, they're no good.
23:57I'll tear them limb from limb.
23:59Well, maybe up there.
24:02Come on.
24:03Give me their agreement.
24:04Go.
24:05Come.
24:12Coffee!
24:20What's the matter with you?
24:21Bentley's here.
24:22Bentley?
24:23Yeah.
24:24Well, hurry up and find it.
24:28You know, I don't think I like your attitude.
24:31Listen, you old fossil.
24:32Dig up that deed pronto, or...
24:34Or what?
24:35You're not thinking of selling, are you, Professor?
24:40Keep your hand off that gun, you'll live longer.
24:42Now, clear out of here, both of you.
24:44And keep off this property.
24:47Go on.
24:48Go on.
24:49Go on.
24:50Go on.
24:51Go on.
24:52Go on.
24:53Go on.
25:02Now, remember what I said.
25:12What did they want?
25:14They're trying to get this ranch back.
25:17They must have heard about that silver somehow.
25:19Well, I didn't say a word to anyone.
25:21Hoppy, I hope you don't think I said anything.
25:22Oh, certainly not.
25:24Somebody must have overheard me talking to Wade.
25:36Any sign of Wade near Sarah?
25:37Not from here.
25:38Well, move, so you can see the other end of the street.
25:50We've been watching for you.
25:51I'd hardly come to your front door.
25:53What did they say, Shaw?
25:59And I let it go for 5,000.
26:01They've really got something.
26:03Unless they can't raise the money to start operations.
26:05Cassidy won't have any trouble raising the money.
26:07I'll lend it to him myself.
26:10In fact, a lot more than he needs.
26:12Are you out of your mind?
26:14Certainly not.
26:15I'm a public-spirited citizen.
26:17You're cutting your own throat.
26:18No.
26:19Cassidy's.
26:21So many things can happen around a silver mine.
26:30Papers are all ready, just to fill in the amounts.
26:32Oh, fine.
26:33Well, I think 10,000 will take care of things
26:35until the mill starts paying us off.
26:36Better make it 15, just to be sure.
26:38I'll deposit the money to Professor Larson's account.
26:42Just as a matter of form,
26:43I've had to make out three notes
26:44for 30, 60, and 90 days against the property.
26:4630 days?
26:47That's crowding it pretty close, isn't it?
26:49Well, that's the usual time.
26:51That's only fair, isn't it, Hoppy?
26:53Well, I guess we can get on enough more than 30 days
26:55to meet the first payment,
26:56which will be due at exactly 12 o'clock,
26:59the first of next month.
27:01You businessmen are really exacting.
27:03There are such things as extensions, you know.
27:05I'm sure we won't need one
27:06with Mr. Cassidy handling affairs.
27:08I'm sure you won't.
27:09Here, Professor.
27:10Sign these, please.
27:21Here.
27:38Wish that man from the smelter
27:39would hurry up and get here.
27:41Oh, he'll be here all right.
27:42I gave him a sample of our best ore.
27:45You know, Hoppy, I can hardly believe
27:46all that's happening today.
27:48Well, it couldn't happen to nicer people.
27:50So lucky, sirs.
27:53Help!
27:57Help!
28:02What's happened now?
28:03Another accident?
28:04Did you get hurt?
28:05Timbers let loose
28:06and brought down a big rock.
28:08Yeah, something's always happening around here.
28:11It's a tense one.
28:12I'm quitting.
28:13You guys know what's good for you.
28:14You'll quit, too.
28:15I'm with you, Pluck.
28:16It's a hard luck job.
28:17Pluck's like it.
28:18I'm ready to go.
28:19Now, just a minute, boys,
28:20before you start talking about quitting.
28:22Accidents happen every place.
28:23Yeah, but not so often.
28:25Yeah, but most of these
28:26have been due to carelessness.
28:27That's right, they have.
28:28That's true enough.
28:29I know tending barn,
28:30punching cattle is more
28:31in your line of work.
28:32But you're all doing fine.
28:33You're learning the job.
28:34Now, why don't you go back
28:35and go to work
28:36and just be a little more careful?
28:37Well, let's go back, boys.
28:38That sounds all right.
28:39Thanks, boys.
28:40What about you?
28:42Oh, we'll stick along.
28:43All right,
28:44but you better take care of that leg.
28:50Hoppy?
28:52Hoppy?
28:53Hoppy, Mr. Radley's here.
28:58How are you, Mr. Radley?
28:59Glad to see you.
29:00How's everything going?
29:01Well, we had a little trouble
29:02with Hard Rock Formation,
29:03but we should start getting
29:04productive ore out any day now.
29:06I'm glad to hear it.
29:07I checked our engineer
29:08and assayers report,
29:09and I'm authorized to contract
29:10for your entire output.
29:12How soon can you start
29:13shipping ore to us?
29:14Well, we'll have to start
29:15within a week.

44:43Oh, I was around.
44:44I heard they went to town looking for you.
44:46Just as well you didn't.
44:47I found a deal.
44:48Did you suspect him?
44:50Well, lucky, I thought you knew.
44:51I've always suspected him.
44:52That's why I had him working for us,
44:53so I could keep an eye on him.
44:55Oh.
44:56Well, did you find out anything?
44:57I found out that Waite the banker's mixed up with Bensley,
45:00but unfortunately, I couldn't hear
45:01what they were talking about.
45:02All ready to roll, Hoppy.
45:03Fine.
45:04Will you get our horses?
45:05Sure.
45:06You ride ahead and see if the road is clear.
45:08I'll watch out for trouble.
45:09You aren't expecting any, are you?
45:10Oh, he means war shots in the road, you know.
45:13Sure, war shots.
45:14Well, you've done a grand job, Hoppy.
45:16Thanks, Professor, but the job isn't finished yet
45:19until I get this ore to the mill and on time.
45:21Well, that should be easy.
45:22You've got all morning.

45:24That's right.
45:25Hey, by the way, you and Anna better get started

45:33Bye.
45:34Bye.
45:41Scatter out in the rocks.
45:43Be ready to open up on them when I signal.
46:05All right, let it roll.
46:11There's just one guy I want to get, Cassidy.
46:14You've got my blessing there.
46:41Let's go.
46:43You want to tip them off we're waiting?
47:10Let's go.
47:41Road's all clear ahead.
47:43Good.

49:40Let's go.
49:41Let's go.
50:11Let's go.
50:12Move it.
50:40They outguessed us.
50:41This time, I got another idea.
50:44Follow me.
51:01Harley!
51:05Well, they're not coming after us.
51:07We must have scared them off.
51:08I guess that's right.
51:09Let's see how our boys are doing back here.
51:21Anybody hurt bad?
51:22Not too bad. We can't keep going, Hoppy.
51:24Is that right, George?
51:25We'll keep rolling.
51:26Well, that's fine, men.
51:27We'll get you a doctor as soon as we get to the mill.
51:29We sure was lucky.
51:30Yeah, but we'll have to make a run for it from here on in.
51:32Hoppy, what do you make of that?
51:33What?
51:34Over there.
51:36I don't like the looks of it.
51:38Neither do I.
51:39Let's get these wagons rolling.
51:40We'll circle back there and see what's up.
51:46Come on, let's go.
52:05Hey!
52:19Hey!
52:36Hey!
52:50Here they come now.
52:54All right, what about it?
52:55Let's block the road with some of these rocks.
53:05All right.
53:36All right, bridge.
53:51Here come the wagons now.
53:52Lucky, stop the last one and have the men help you.
53:54I'm going after Bentley.
53:55Right, Hoppy.
54:05Let's go.
54:31Everything going all right?
54:32Fine, fine, just as we planned.
54:34You might as well notarize that compliance back to me right now
54:36and get it over with.
54:37Oh, let's be legal about this.
54:39They still have 15 minutes to pay off the note.
54:41I'll make you a little bet.
54:42It'll be closer to 15 hours than 15 minutes
54:44before Cassidy gets here.
54:46I'll take that bet, Bentley.
54:47$5,000 worth.
54:49Get your hands up.
54:51Why, you, I thought you said...
54:52Never mind that.
54:53Get out the money the smeller agent deposited with you
54:55and be quick about it.
55:01Come on, both of you.
55:02You're taking a little trip to the smeller.
55:07You can't force us to go with you, Cassidy.
55:09It's not legal.
55:10I'm not forcing you.
55:11I'm inviting you.
55:12Come on.
55:32Morning.
55:43Hello.
55:44I don't understand it.
55:45Cassidy sent in word yesterday
55:46that he'd have that oar here by 10 o'clock.
55:55Well, those are the wagons, aren't they?
55:56Well, that's Cassidy's outfit, all right.
55:58But he'll never make it from here to the bank in time.
56:02Let's go.
56:26Well, there's the oar.
56:27Give me the receipt.
56:28Give him the receipt.
56:29But I'm afraid it won't do you much good.
56:31It won't do us no good.
56:32It ain't 12 o'clock yet.
56:34Two minutes too.
56:35I know.
56:36But you'll never make it to the bank
56:37over a mile in two minutes.
56:39Yeah, but doggone, there's a...
56:41Well, there's Hoppy.
56:53Get him.
56:54Get him.
57:02Here's the receipt, Hoppy.
57:03But Bradley says...
57:04All right, California.
57:06Wait, I'll trouble you for that $5,000.
57:10Here you are, Professor.
57:11Tell your wife the money you owe him on that note.
57:13Hear you.
57:14You hear her, don't you?
57:16You leech.
57:19I'll take the note, too.
57:21You can't get away with this, Cassidy.
57:23I'll have you sent to jail for kidnapping me
57:25if it's the last thing I ever do.
57:27If I go to jail, I'm going to have a lot of company
57:29after what I heard between you and Bentley last night.
57:33Never mind.
57:34I know what I'm licked.
57:35What do you want me to do?
57:36I'm an old man, I...
57:37Stop sniveling, you old bloodsucker.
57:39I'm sorry I ever got mixed up with you.
57:41It was your idea as much as mine.
57:43I'll give you two a better chance
57:44than you've ever given anyone else.
57:46You got 24 hours to clear out of this district
57:48before the decent people find you
57:50and ride you out on a rail.
57:52That goes for the rest of your henchmen, too.
57:54All right.
57:55You win.
57:56Come on, Bentley.
57:59I thought you said you didn't hear anything last night.
58:03I didn't, but they thought I did.
58:05That's all that's necessary.
58:07I just want to say thank you
58:08for everything you've done for Dad and me.
58:10It was a pleasure, Miss Ann.
58:12Speaking of the professor,
58:13I'd like to give him this note.
58:15Oh, there he is with California.
58:17Now look, crazy.
58:19Ah, California.
58:21I've got a little gift for you.
58:23It's the first butterfly you ever caught.
58:25I want you to take it to bar 20
58:26and show it to the boys.
58:29Oh, they'd be interested in something like this.
58:33Poor California.
58:34I knew him when he was a real cow hen.
58:37Yeah, lucky.
58:38I guess we'll just have to leave him here
58:40with these butterflies and his owls.
58:42Oh, no, you don't.
58:43I'm going with you.
58:44I...
58:48You didn't mean that, did you, Hoppy?
58:50No more butterflies?
58:52Oh, siree, not me.
58:54I ain't cut out for one of them
58:56anti-Molly bug-cats.
59:00Here you are, Professor.
59:02Well, I guess we'd better be getting back to the ranch.
59:05Oh, Hoppy.
59:06Oh, it's not far.
59:07Now, you can go back once in a while.
59:09That is, if you're invited.
59:11And you are.
59:12Well, in that case, let's hurry home
59:14so I can get back.
59:15Well, so long, honey.
59:16Goodbye.
59:17Goodbye.
