00:00What are you doing?
00:04Do you mind if I ask you the same question, mister?
00:08Oh,
00:12this gentleman has an insatiable curiosity regarding my property.
00:16I thought I'd teach him a little lesson.
00:20I'm Professor Hepburn. I'm visiting my sister Nora Blake over in Grass Valley.
00:24Oh, Nora Blake.
00:28I'm Cassidy. Hop along, Cassidy. Glad to know you, Professor.
00:32She's spoken of you often.
00:36Well, it must be kind of lonesome over there around the Buttes, ain't it? On the contrary.
00:40You see, I'm a paleontologist. A what?
00:44A scientist, a naturalist, an explorer.
00:48In other words, I'm a bone digger. Oh, yeah.
00:52I'm doing some research for an eastern museum. I hope to prove to the scientific world
00:56the Buttes, the natural habitat of the extinct dinosaur, another prehistoric
01:00fauna. You don't say. Yes, indeed.
01:04I'm finding quite a boneyard. A place of desolation.
01:08Where any creature might die and remain undisturbed.
01:12Undiscovered for a million years. A perfect
01:16paradise for my purpose.
01:20Well, I guess the Buttes is kind of a boneyard, all right.
01:24And say, if you find any bones or hides of the Bar 20 stock, I wish
01:28you'd let me know. All right here, Professor.
01:32Thanks. Bye. I hope you'll forgive
01:36any embarrassment I caused. Maybe, but I won't forget it.
01:40I aim to ride over to Grass Valley and see how Norah's getting on.
01:44You know, homesteading's quite a job for a lady to take on. My sister'll be glad to know what
01:48an interest you take in her welfare. Well, goodbye. Thank you.
01:52Bye.
01:56Know this hombre chief? Says he's got some kind of a deal on with you.
02:00What do you want, Kato? The Bar 20's pushing a big herd by here tomorrow.
02:04And I'm here to collect that money as you promised me if I tip job. You're late with the
02:08news. I found out for myself. Listen, I kept my part of the deal and I want
02:12my money. You got nothing coming to you. After me quitting my job and
02:16taking a chance of coming here? That's your misfortune.
02:20Then I'll show you. I'll meet Cassidy and tell him what he's up against. Hold on.
02:24Give me your rifle.
02:38Nice shot, chief.
02:42Rifle heavy for sport shooting.
02:46All right, boys, get the top off.
02:50And then carry it all up the hill.
02:58Say, what about Kino?
03:02No, leave him there. Cassidy'll find him.
03:06And if he does, what then?
03:10Always get your opponent in the jumpy frame of mind. You have a psychological advantage over him.
