00:00Hello buddy. Hello. Is there a night train out of here? If there is, I don't know about
00:20it. Pretty tough guy, huh? A guy's gotta be tough to get by up here. You seem to be a
00:27regular guy. When I get my pay at the mill, I'll buy you an ice cream soda. Yeah, I'll
00:34be waiting around here until Thursday. Thursday? Is that when they pay you at the mill? Yeah.
00:44They pay in cash or in checks? I don't know about that. Say, what's your rank? What? I'm
00:51an undercover man in a flanker factory. Hey there, you fellers. Young fella, buying a horse
01:01without the owner's consent is stealing. I gave him the law and you come along with me. Wait a
01:05minute. How much is he worth? None of your business. Stealing is stealing. But I need a
01:11horse. Maybe I'll buy him. What do you want for him? Well, $25. He ain't worth it, mister.
01:19All right. Let's make it $30 and throw in the saddle. By turning the kid loose, it's part of
01:25the bargain. Oh, no. Pay the penalty. Call him my kid. That's perfect. Legal? I'm learning
01:31about legal business. Besides, you're a total stranger. You want any represent? Why? You
01:38happen to know anyone in Frisco? Well, I correspond with the chief of police. That's fine. I know
01:47him well. In fact, I've visited with him a long time. You did? Yeah. Hey, he spoke of you
01:55lots of times. Why should he do that? Well, you see, me and the chief correspond a lot. Oh, he
02:00sends me lots of circulars and pictures. Oh, does he send you any lately? No, not so much.
02:09Hey, what about the horse? I want my money. Oh, my friend will take care of that. $30 on me.
02:17See ya, boy. I'll see you when the kid gets home. All right. Do that.
