07:50What's wrong?
07:51Take a look at this.
07:52Got her name on it and everything.
07:54Sure shooting those guys in the way with that kid.
07:56We did not.
07:57Tell them where we found that thing, Roy.
07:59You've got us all wrong.
08:00We picked it up on the trail just outside of town.
08:03Save the rest of it for the sheriff.
08:05That was a cute idea trying to join the posse to fool us.
08:08Sheriff's down at the Martinez ranch.
08:10Telephone him and wait there.
08:11We'll take this pair with us.
08:12I'll phone him for you.
08:13Bring him outside.
08:14Come on.
08:15Don't be so familiar.
08:21Hello, Fuzzy.
08:22Sheriff gotten here yet?
08:23Yeah, he's over at the corral now getting some fresh horses.
08:25Well, tell him we've captured the kidnappers.
08:27Kidnappers?
08:28Yeah.
08:29Jump in, captives.
08:34Got some news for you, Isabel.
08:35You found them?
08:36No, but we picked up some men who know something about this.
08:39Are these the two suspects, Mr. Allen?
08:41That's right.
08:42They tipped their hand out of my club, Sheriff.
08:44Take a good look at these men, Isabel.
08:46Have you ever seen them before?
08:48No.
08:49Are you sure?
08:51Positive.
08:54Did you take Chip away?
08:55Please tell me the truth.
08:56I am telling the truth, Miss Martinez.
08:58I haven't even seen the child.
09:00Neither has my pal.
09:02I wish I could help you, though.
09:03So do I.
09:04For some reason, I believe you.
09:07What makes you think they're lying, Craig?
09:09Because we found this on them.
09:11I told you I picked that up out on the trail.
09:13You keep out of this.
09:14Please, Craig.
09:16You're strangers around here, aren't you?
09:18That's right.
09:19We were looking for work until we heard about Chip.
09:21Then we offered to join the search.
09:22Sure.
09:23We'd still like a crack at it.
09:25After they've defrosted in that jail, they'll talk.
09:27I guarantee you.
09:28In jail?
09:30Don't you think you've pushed us around enough, Mr. Allen?
09:32I've told you the whole story.
09:33What else do you want to know?
09:34The truth.
09:35I was hoping you'd confess.
09:37But since you won't, take him away, Sheriff.
09:40All right, Ferguson.
09:41You're making a mistake, Sheriff.
09:42I think so, too, Craig.
09:43At least be fair about it.
09:49They went that-a-way!
09:55Put that shambler away.
10:18Come on.
10:48Come on.
11:19Come on.
11:40We've missed them.
11:41Better split up and try to run under their trail again.
11:43Meet back here in an hour.
11:44All right.
11:46Hangs two drumsticks.
11:47Share, share alike.
11:48Sure wish it was a turkey.
11:51Pretty good pickings, I'd say, for a couple of fugitives.
11:53Roy, if you ever see me picking up anything shiny again,
11:56I wish you'd just kick me where it hurts the worst.
11:59That bracelet was hotter than a ribbit.
12:01I'm kind of glad you picked it up, Teddy Bear.
12:04Otherwise, I might never have met Miss Martinez.
12:07Wonder if we'll ever see her again.
12:08Sure, why not?
12:10She'll probably be on the front row of the hanging.
12:12So will Lulabelle.
12:13And Allen.
12:15He's a funny guy.
12:16Yeah, but not funny ha-ha.
12:18Trouble with him, he's too rich.
12:20There's nothing wrong with being rich, Teddy Bear.
12:23It's how he got that way that counts.
12:25I know one way.
12:26He's a dice cheat.
12:28They ought to call him James and Chance Allen.
12:33Hey, what went with my leg?
12:36You ate it.
12:38I did not.
12:40Stop clowning, Teddy Bear, and finish your grub.
12:42Now look here, Roy.
12:43If it was a wing, I'd say it flew off.
12:45But it was a leg, so it walked off.
12:48Here, eat mine.
12:51Hey!
12:53He's walking in his sleep.
13:03Sorry to interrupt, miss, but would you care for a finger bowl?
13:07This is hardly the time to joke.
13:09I'm in trouble.
13:11We're in a little trouble ourselves.
13:13But I'm hungry.
13:14That makes us even all around.
13:16Oh, all right.
13:19Here, Teddy Bear, split it with Roy.
13:22Besides our names, what else did you hear?
13:25Enough to know that you're suspected of kidnapping me.
13:28Your chip?
13:29Uh-huh.
13:31While you're at it, why don't you swipe a couple of pies?
13:34Thoughtless of you, Teddy Bear.
13:35Suppose a posse drops in for dessert.
13:38If they did and caught her with you and me,
13:40they'd use us for dessert on the end of a rope.
13:42I'm evaporating from this country right now.
13:45They won't.
13:46They combed this territory yesterday looking for me.
13:49Suppose they re-comb it today.
13:52Why did you run away, Chip?
13:54Because I had to.
13:56But you wouldn't understand about that.
13:58Well, we might if you explained a little.
14:00You're a mighty dangerous woman to us.
14:02You'd better break down and explain a lot.
14:07Suppose I do tell you.
14:09Would you promise never to tell anybody else?
14:11Sure, if you want it that way.
14:15All right.
14:16My dad told me where he buried his treasure.
14:19I know it sounds crazy, but he did things like that.
14:23He didn't trust people.
14:25You're a little bit like him, aren't you?
14:27Well, I was till now.
14:29Stick to the treasure.
14:30Where is it?
14:32In a mine up the mountain, in a box.
14:35In a box?
14:36What kind of a treasure is it?
14:38I don't know till I look, but it's something valuable.
14:41And I've got to find it before Isabelle sells the mine to Craig Allen.
14:45She's my half-sister, and that makes her boss.
14:48Because I'm underage.
14:51I bet you there's gold in that mine, Roy.
14:53No, there isn't.
14:55But there's something there.
14:56And whatever it is, I don't want Craig Allen to have it.
14:59Do you understand now?
15:01I think so.
15:03Why haven't you tried finding the treasure before, Chip?
15:05I did.
15:06Right after Dad died.
15:08But I couldn't even get up to the mine on account of the snow.
15:11This is the first chance I've had.
15:13And I'm not giving up till I find it this time.
15:17Get the horses, Teddy Bear.
15:19You're going to help me?
15:21My partner's a mining fool, and I'm just a...
15:24Well, I'm just a fool, but let's go.
15:41Whoa!
15:43Oh!
15:44I missed it!
15:49Follow me.
15:50This way.
15:51We're right behind you.
15:52You got a light, Chip?
15:53Of course I have.
15:55There they are now.
16:02Oh, darn it.
16:03There it goes again.
16:05Every time I pass that spot, something blows a candle out.
16:08That's the only thing I don't understand.
16:09They're dragging.
16:10You two wait here.
16:14Wait.
16:15Mr. Allen will be here in a minute.
16:21Gee, it's deeper than I thought.
16:23Let me dig.
16:24My pa was a beaver.
16:26Somebody's coming.
16:29Mr. Posse, let's get me out of here.
16:31There's a cave in back.
16:32We can hide there.
16:33Come on.
16:34No, Chip.
16:35There's no use, huh?
16:36You've got to face them somehow.
16:37Let me go.
16:38I won't go back till I've found it.
16:40Stay where you are, both of you.
16:42Chip, are you all right?
16:43I was feeling great up till now.
16:45Come on, you two.
16:46You're going back to town.
16:47Keep an eye on them, Sheriff.
16:48They may try to pull another fast one.
16:50Before you stick your foot in it again, Mr. Allen,
16:52I'd suggest you'd find out what the victim has to say.
16:55Well, I, uh...
16:57Go ahead, Chip.
16:58This is no time to stutter, stammer, or balk.
17:00Tell them.
17:02Here's the straight of it, Sheriff.
17:04We've got to find out what the victim has to say.
17:06Here's the straight of it, Sheriff.
17:07I was hiding out on the trail and pretty hungry.
17:10I ran into Roy and Teddy Bear and they were eating.
17:14So I barged in on their dinner.
17:17That sounds more like a blind date than a kidnapping, doesn't it, Sheriff?
17:20Well, yes.
17:22Miss Chip here's telling the truth.
17:25I am?
17:26Well, you're in a truthful mood.
17:27Suppose you tell us why you ran away from home.
17:30That happens to be a secret I share only with people I trust.
17:33And people who keep their word.
17:36There's no use getting mad about it, Isabel.
17:38I've got my reasons.
17:40Chip, I think you've acted terribly, driving us half crazy with worry
17:43and getting these innocent men accused of kidnapping you.
17:46Somebody around here ought to apologize.
17:49You said you were looking for work.
17:50Would you be interested in a job on the Martinez ranch?
17:53Well, that depends on who runs it.
17:55You run most everything around here, don't you, Mr. Allen?
17:58What do you mean by that?
17:59Well, I'm particular who I work for.
18:01You'll be working for me.
18:03Well, then it's a deal.
18:04Suits you, teddy bear.
18:05Ain't too much work to it.
18:06It suits me, too.
18:08I'm glad you approve, Chip.
18:10Because one of Mr. Rogers' jobs will be to see that you don't run away from home again.
18:14I think I can manage that all right.
18:16I'm pretty good at handling strays.
18:18What?
18:19I practically saved your life and you turned jailer on me.
18:23Young woman, we're going to halter break you.
18:25Oh, are you?
18:26I don't know.
18:27Are we really?
18:28I don't know.
18:29Are we really?
18:30Well...
18:31Too late, boys.
18:32You took the job.
18:33Oh, she's a hefty little filly.
18:41I see you girls are not seeing exactly eye to eye this morning.
18:44I just told her firmly that she'll not be allowed to leave the ranch again until the mine is sold.
18:49Then you started running.
18:52Well, what would you have done?
18:53I'd have held my ground and tried to reason with her.
18:55She's beyond reasoning.
18:56She's now staging a sit-down strike.
18:59Refuses to attend her own party tonight.
19:01And that just leaves me with the entire village on my hands.
19:06Roy, do you think you could reason with her?
19:08Why, sure.
19:09She doesn't mean that jailer stuff about me.
19:11She's just a whimsical kid.
19:13Watch me.
19:17Who is it?
19:18It's me, Roy.
19:20Come in, Roy.
19:22See? Just a whim.
19:27Or was it a wham?
19:30How can you have the nerve to face me?
19:32When I got my back to you, I can't see which way they're coming.
19:35I thought you and I were friends.
19:37That's before you went over to the side of the enemy.
19:40Chip, I don't think you're being fair to Isabel.
19:42She's a pretty swell girl, and...
19:44Well, what I mean is, I think she's a...
19:47A pretty swell girl.
19:49Yeah, that's what I mean.
19:50And I trusted you.
19:52You still can.
19:53I think you can trust Isabel, too.
19:55Why don't you tell her about the treasure, Chip?
19:57Oh, no.
19:58She'd tell Craig Allen, and he'd get my mine and the treasure, too.
20:01I'll make a deal with you.
20:02You tell her the truth, and I'll guarantee you she'll go to the mine with us.
20:06Us?
20:07Sure.
20:08That's why I took this job, Chip.
20:10I'm seeing it through with you.
20:12It's a deal.
20:14Gee, Roy, I'm sorry I bobbed you.
20:17I'll forget about that if you tell her you'll be at your party.
20:20That's a deal.
20:22That's a deal.
20:27Isabel, dear!
20:41Isabel, I'm a reformed character.
20:43No more running away?
20:45You couldn't drag me off the ranch.
20:47I'm at the party tonight.
20:48I'll be there with bells on.
20:50That crash I heard.
20:52Who hit who?
20:53I didn't raise a hand to her.
20:55Then how did you do it?
20:57I made a deal with her.
20:59I promised Chip you and I'd ride to the mine with her,
21:02and she promised she'd tell you why she wants to go.
21:05Isabel, before Dad died, he told me he buried a box there.
21:09And I've got to find it before the mine changes hands.
21:12Oh, Chip, that was just one of his crazy dreams.
21:16I'll always believe in Dad.
21:18And if you'll come with me, I'll prove he wasn't crazy.
21:21Seems like she ought to have a right to do that.
21:24All right, Chip, get your riding clothes.
21:26Oh, Isabel.
21:31You were right, Roy.
21:33She is a pretty swell girl.
21:39You see, we sort of had an argument.
21:42About me?
21:43Yeah, Chip said you were swell.
21:45I said you were...
21:48And who won?
21:49I guess we both did.
21:52Oh, good morning, Craig.
21:55Take care of this horse, will you?
21:59I'm sorry I'm late, dear. Let's go inside.
22:02I'll be right with you, Roy.
22:03All right.
22:13You're going to be disappointed in me, Craig.
22:16It'll be the first time.
22:22I can't go into town with you.
22:23Why?
22:24Oh, I promised Chip I'd go up to the mine with her.
22:27Humor me this once, will you?
22:28Don't I always?
22:30What's going on up at the mine?
22:31Well, it seems Dad buried something up there for her.
22:34And whatever it is, it's got her worried.
22:36She wasn't even going to attend the party tonight until Roy talked her into it.
22:41I thought we'd better sign the papers for the mine.
22:43If you wanted a check for Chip's birthday, but it'll keep, don't worry about it.
22:47You're going to an awful lot of trouble for Chip, Craig.
22:49Buying a worthless mine is hardly good business, and you know it.
22:52Let's call it a hobby.
22:54Besides, you know why I'm doing it. Chip's only part of the deal.
22:57I'm really sold on you, too, Isabel. Don't forget that.
23:01You never let me forget it.
23:02What'll tomorrow do with the papers?
23:04I'll have the magistrate meet us in the morning.
23:06Then it's a promise, bright and early.
23:08See you at the party tonight.
23:10Wait, I'll walk out with you.
23:13You have your ring, you will live like a king
23:16in a palace bright and sunny.
23:19But there's one thing in doubt that I must figure out.
23:22What's that?
23:23What'll I use for money?
23:25Gonna buy a new car with a shine like a star.
23:28Yes, the whole thing strikes you funny.
23:31It's a beautiful scene, but I see what you mean.
23:35What'll we use for money?
23:37Maybe buttons.
23:38For poker chips.
23:39For bullets.
23:40For peanuts.
23:41Maybe I'll find a vein of gold.
23:44All you have to do is look around.
23:47But when I think of all that gold,
23:50think of the trouble it's gonna be getting it out of the ground.
23:53You're about to confess that you're several for less.
23:56Yes, you're just a plain dumb bunny.
23:59But I get so upset that I always forget.
24:03What'll I use for money?
24:05How about marbles?
24:06Or toothpicks?
24:07Yeah, what'll I use for money?
24:09Maybe he'll find a vein of gold,
24:12just like a lucky pup.
24:14Why, sure.
24:15But when I think of all that gold,
24:18I get kind of tired digging it up.
24:21Well, you can't buy the moon or a wedding in June
24:24or a sky that's blue and sunny.
24:27If you drop all your care, you're a rich millionaire.
24:31What'll we use for money?
24:36This is probably the first treasure hunt for the floor show.
24:40You don't take much stuff in Chip's buried treasure, do you?
24:43No, I'm afraid she's a dreamer like Dad.
24:46He had what they call gold fever.
24:48Most mining men have it.
24:49But some of them do strike it rich.
24:52Say, Chip, isn't that the cutoff we took to the mine last night?
24:56Uh-huh.
24:57But it's so rough nobody uses it unless they're in a hurry.
25:00Well, by the looks of those tracks,
25:01somebody just used it in an awful hurry.
25:03Did you mention the treasure box to anybody?
25:05Yes, I think I mentioned it to Mr. Allen.
25:08Why?
25:10Well, I'll meet you at the mine.
25:34It was sticking right here where the candle was.
25:37Better get a shovel.
25:38Yeah.
25:39Listen.
25:41See who it is.
25:59It's that new hand, Rogers.
26:00He must have taken the cutoff.
26:02Cover up more.
26:03All right.
26:09What do you want?
26:10I thought maybe Mr. Allen came up here.
26:12Did he?
26:13No, I haven't seen him since morning.
26:14What's all this equipment for?
26:17I didn't know anybody was working this mine.
26:19Allen sent me up here to set up a drill and compressor.
26:22Roy!
26:23Roy Rogers!
26:24May I?
26:25Yeah.
26:26Come right ahead, Miss Martinez.
26:27Anything wrong, Ferguson?
26:28Nothing I know of, Miss,
26:29except Roger seems to think there is.
26:31Chip, you better start digging your treasure.
26:33Teddy Bear, you better help us.
26:34It's over here.
26:35Shoot the light over this way, Roy.
26:39You hold the light.
26:40I'll clean over.
26:42Did you know they were working this mine, Miss Martinez?
26:45Of course.
26:46Mr. Allen asked permission to start operations here,
26:48and I gladly gave it to him.
26:49Why do you ask?
26:50Well, it seems kind of strange to me
26:52that he'd go to so much trouble on a worthless gold mine,
26:55especially when it isn't even his yet.
26:58Does Rogers think we're digging for gold?
27:00Mr. Rogers, you seem to question Mr. Allen's intentions here,
27:03but you're wrong.
27:04Mr. Allen's not looking for gold.
27:05He's hoping to find manganese, and only hoping.
27:08Manganese?
27:09Exactly.
27:10And if he does find it,
27:11there's a contract already drawn up giving Chip half the profits,
27:14so you don't have to concern yourself with the future.
27:17Please leave that to Mr. Allen and me.
27:19I think we're capable of looking after best interests.
27:22Okay.
27:23Isabelle, look!
27:24We found it!
27:28Is that all there is?
27:29Well, it ain't even got a stamp on it.
27:31To my daughter Chip,
27:32to be opened on the occasion of her 16th birthday.
27:35Well, go ahead, open it.
27:36Oh, no.
27:37If that's the way Dad wanted it,
27:39there must be a reason.
27:40Well, you'll turn 16 at midnight.
27:43I'll open it then.
27:45It'll be sort of like Dad was at my party giving me a present.
27:48Really, Chip, aren't you being a little imaginative?
27:51Maybe I'm just being a little careful.
27:55Keep it for me till midnight.
27:58Gee, it's kind of shimmery in here.
28:00We'll ride on ahead.
28:01See you boys back at the ranch.
28:02All right.
28:03Goodbye, Roy.
28:04Bye.
28:05Thanks, Teddy Bear.
28:06You'd have thought she'd have took this along for a jewel box.
28:18You read it, Isabelle.
28:20I'm too excited.
28:28Chip, darling,
28:29you already have the treasure.
28:32It is the bracelet I gave you last year.
28:35Scratch its surface lightly
28:37and you'll find it has a value greater than you think.
28:41That and my love
28:43is all I have to give you on your 16th birthday.
28:47Dad.
28:50That's all there is, Chip.
28:52Just...
28:54a bracelet?
28:57Isabelle,
28:59you don't really think Dad was...
29:00I'm afraid we always did think so, Chip.
29:04Well,
29:05I guess I know it too now.
29:09For some reason,
29:10I think it was a fine treasure while it lasted.
29:13Say,
29:14I don't even have the bracelet.
29:16Oh, I have it, Chip.
29:17It's in my desk at my office.
29:18Would you like to have me run into town and get it for you?
29:20Well,
29:21I'd like to know what it's really made of, but
29:24tomorrow will do just as well.
29:26I don't agree with you, Chip.
29:27It's bound to be another disappointment,
29:29but I think we should get this nonsense over and done with once and for all.
29:33You're a big girl now, Chip.
29:34Can you take it?
29:36Sure I can.
29:37I feel differently about everything now.
29:40You just feel grown up, dear.
29:42I think it's a good idea, Craig.
29:43Go ahead.
29:44I'll be back before the party's over.
29:46Come on, Matt.
29:52If you want to see Roy, you'd better hurry.
29:54He's leaving the ranch.
29:55Leaving the ranch? Why?
29:57He'll tell you. Hurry.
29:58He's in the bunkhouse.
30:02Roy!
30:03Roy!
30:04What's the matter?
30:05We're shoving off, Chip.
30:07By popular demand.
30:08Whose?
30:09Everybody's, I guess.
30:11It's better this way.
30:12Not for me it isn't.
30:13Why, I wasn't even consulted.
30:15And I've got something to say about the matter, too.
30:17Where do I get Isabel?
30:19Well, it wasn't her idea entirely, Chip.
30:21We resign.
30:22There's no use bothering Isabel.
30:23She has Mr. Allen to advise her, and...
30:25That's the trouble with her.
30:27Allen.
30:29Why are you so slow to catch on?
30:30Isabel expects you to put up a fight,
30:32not just lie down licked.
30:35Please believe me.
30:37I'm a grown woman, Roy.
30:39I know.
30:41Now's your chance.
30:42Allen's going to get my braces at his office.
30:44Please do it my way this time,
30:45and I'll tell you about the treasure after.
30:47Wait a minute.
30:49What treasure?
30:50It doesn't matter.
30:51We found the letter, and...
30:52I guess they were right about Dad.
30:54But that doesn't mean you're right about Isabel.
30:57Here.
30:58Amuse yourself.
30:59I'll straighten this other matter out.
31:01Promise me you'll wait.
31:02All right.
31:09Scratch the what?
31:10Move your hand.
31:11I can't see.
31:13Teddy bear,
31:14I've got a hunch that old guy was crazy like a fox.
31:16There's more here at stake than just a bracelet,
31:18and Allen knows it.
31:19We've got to beat him to the punch.
31:20Well, I don't get it.
31:21Where are we going?
31:22The Bonanza Club.
31:23We can't beat them.
31:24That ship said they already left.
31:26It's a long way around, but the road,
31:27we'll cut right over the mountain.
31:50Try your luck, boys.
31:51Never again.
31:52Is Allen back yet?
31:53No, he's still at the Martini's ranch.
31:56Yes, I know.
31:57He's going to meet us here.
31:58We'll wait in the office.
32:20Check it out by the roof.
32:35Let's try the window.
32:40What are we going to do now?
32:42There ain't no chandelier in this place.
32:44Maybe not, but there's another door.
32:50Come on.
33:13Hello?
33:14I know I'm late.
33:16We had a bit of trouble down here.
33:20I'm terribly sorry, Craig.
33:23What can I say?
33:24You were right, that's all.
33:26Of course I will.
33:27Right away.
33:30Isabel!
33:31What's the matter?
33:32Roy and Teddy Bear.
33:33They took some money from Mr. Allen.
33:35Your bracelet's gone, too.
33:37You mean they stole it?
33:40I'm afraid so, Chip.
33:42Lulabelle, tell Fuzzy and the boys
33:43to saddle up right away.
33:44They'll be needed in the searching party.
33:46Yes, Miss Isabel.
33:47I just can't believe Teddy Bear did it.
33:49I just can't.
33:52I know what you're thinking, Isabel.
33:55We sure pick them, don't we?
33:57We sure do.
34:03Here it is.
34:04Light a candle.
34:07Dig in darkness.
34:09Whoever wrote that must figure
34:10everybody around here carries candles with them,
34:12like Chip.
34:14Wait a minute, maybe you got something there.
34:16Chip's candle.
34:17Remember, it went out in the mine shaft.
34:19Yeah, sure.
34:20It was dark, too.
34:21And we dug.
34:23You dug deep enough.
34:24Now reach.
34:26All right, tie him up, boys,
34:27and we'll make prompt delivery.
34:29Thanks for the beacon.
34:30Now, wait a minute.
34:31That's evidence.
34:33Now, where's the money you stole?
34:34Did Allen say we'd stolen money?
34:36Yeah, just 2,000 bucks.
34:37He hadn't got anything on him.
34:39Nothing here, either.
34:40I'll take a look in their saddlebags.
34:43Where's Ferguson now?
34:44He's at the mine.
34:45What does he want to know first?
34:46Things are shaping up just the way I thought.
34:48Buzzy, you really don't think we'd steal, do you?
34:51Oh, I don't know about you, Roy, but he would.
34:55Did you find anything in their saddlebags?
34:56No, just a change of clothes.
34:59There's some writing on that bracelet
35:00that's mighty important to Chip.
35:02It may be the answer to the mine.
35:04Writing?
35:06Let me see it, Bob.
35:08Light a candle, dig in dark.
35:10Don't make sense to me.
35:12Nothing would.
35:13Well, it does to us.
35:14That's why we borrowed it.
35:15You don't want to see Chip bunkled out of everything
35:17or dead laughter, do you?
35:18Why, of course not.
35:20Well, then don't string along with Allen.
35:22Who says we are?
35:23Well, you're playing right into his hands
35:25to hold us on this trumped-up robbery charge
35:27while Ferguson's digging into that mine.
35:29Don't forget, Allen takes over tomorrow,
35:31lock, stock, and barrel.
35:32Are you sure he's not buying a lemon?
35:34I'm not sure of anything.
35:36All I'm asking is a square deal for Chip.
35:38I've got a hunch that mine is loaded with gold.
35:40But we'll never know unless you boys
35:42are willing to play the hunch with us.
35:44What do you say, boys?
35:45Well, I'll take a chance.
35:46If it's for Chip, count me in.
35:48Can't lose anything but time.
35:49Sure, let's try.
35:50All right, Roy, we'll string along with you.
35:52Thanks.
35:53What do you say?
35:54Oh, it's all right with me.
35:56That's bad.
35:59I'm looking for Ferguson.
36:00He around?
36:01I'll call him.
36:02Hey, Matt, come out for a minute.
36:04It's fuzzy.
36:05Any sign of those thieving dogs
36:06who got Mr. Allen's roll?
36:08Yep, we caught them.
36:09Did I hear you say you captured those bandits?
36:11Where are they?
36:12Well, I don't like to point.
36:14They polite, but they're right behind you.
36:16Huh?
36:20Now let's keep this peaceable and happy.
36:22You fellas realize you're working with a couple of jailbirds?
36:25The law is after them.
36:26The law ain't proved nothing again yet.
36:28We're inclined to believe somebody freed them.
36:31Hey, stay out of that mine.
36:33That's Mr. Allen's property.
36:34Not till tomorrow.
36:36And maybe not then.
36:37All right, take them away in time.
36:39Go on.
36:41I think it was right about here.
36:47I've got it.
36:48It's cracked here.
36:49I'll bet there's a tunnel on the other side.
36:51My gosh, they got this wall plastered up
36:53to make it look like real rock.
36:55Let's get those picks and shovels and tear into it.
37:01Hey, this is adobe brick.
37:03Stand back and let me lean over.
37:05All right.
37:06Push it.
37:07Here, that's right.
37:19What do you think, Teddy Bear?
37:20Gosh, this ain't manganese.
37:22It's high-grade gold ore.
37:23Ted, you're a hunch about Allen was right.
37:25Let's get those sacks and start loading up.
37:27I hope this works, Roy.
37:29Say, what happens if they bump into the posse looking for us?
37:32What do you think?
37:33Say, what happens if they bump into the posse looking for us?
37:36What do you think we're taking three wagons for?
37:38Insurance.
37:39One of them's bound to get through.
37:41We've got to have a load in front of the courthouse
37:43by 10 o'clock to prove there's gold here.
37:45Otherwise, Allen wins hands down.
37:47That's one hour from now.
37:52Matter of the Williams estate, Judge.
37:54Hello, Isabel.
37:55Chip.
37:56How do you do, Mr. Allen?
37:57Sit down.
38:03Chip, you're fully acquainted with the proceedings
38:06which I'm about to conduct?
38:08Yes, Judge.
38:09Isabel's selling the mine to Mr. Allen, and that's that.
38:13Clearly put.
38:14Now, you just sit back and relax.
38:17Freeman, get me the file.
38:20Yes, Judge.
38:24All set?
38:25Roy, look.
38:26It's a lull.
38:30We're sunk for fare now.
38:32Don't bet on that.
38:33He'll outrun us with these heavy wagons.
38:35We'll take the Felton Cut-Off.
38:36Let's go.
38:46This trail crosses the road below.
38:48We can pick them up there.
39:03We've got them now.
39:05They'll never make it for that road.
39:25Quite a nice thing you're doing,
39:26setting up a cash estate for this young girl.
39:29This certified check will provide for her education.
39:34Probably gets her a good husband, Chip.
39:37Probably gets her a good husband, Chip.
39:49Whoa-ho!
40:02They went that-a-way, Sheriff.
40:04I know which way they went.
40:05Get up there.
40:18Go ahead.
40:19I'll drop back and try to block the road.
40:35Maybe I ought to throw up some ballast.
40:37I'll take them.
40:38Go ahead.
40:43Ferguson, we're losing ground.
40:46Somebody's got to get off and you're a little.
40:48Wait a minute.
40:49You're not going to throw me off in here.
40:51That's murder.
40:52You can't do that.
40:53Sorry, but I got to lighten the mood.
40:55I'll get the ballast.
40:56I'll get the ballast.
40:57I'll get the ballast.
40:58I'll get the ballast.
40:59I'll get the ballast.
41:00I'll get the ballast.
41:01I'll get the ballast.
41:02I'll get the ballast.
41:03I'll get the ballast.
41:04I got to lighten the mood.
41:05Of course, if you lighten your conscience a little first,
41:07I might change my mind.
41:08Oh, but forget it.
41:09You're too fine a character to ride on your pal, Allen.
41:12Listen, I'm not that fine.
41:13What do you want to know?
41:14I'll talk.
41:15You better talk fast, bud.
41:16What happened to that 2,000 bucks?
41:18Well...
41:19Ha!
41:20Come on out here!
41:21Ha!
41:22Now, let's see.
41:25You signed here, Isabel.
41:27And here.
41:28And, uh...
41:29Allen, you signed here.
41:32What's that?
41:34Disorderly ranch hands clattering through the town like this.
41:38Danger in life and life.
41:41It's Roy!
41:45You boys take care of the assailant.
41:47I'll meet you in the courthouse.
41:49I'll get the ballast as soon as I can in time.
41:53It's him!
41:54It's him!
41:55It's Rennie Roy!
41:56He's here!
41:58Gee, I hope I'm in time, folks.
42:01You're just in time to be cited for disturbing the peace.
42:05Well, I'll plead guilty, Your Honor.
42:07But first, you've got to hear how a manganese mine turned into a gold strike.
42:11And a mighty rich one, too, Chip.
42:13You haven't signed it yet, have you?
42:14No, but...
42:15Say that again about the gold.
42:17Your Honor, this man is interfering with the due process of law.
42:20Do something about it.
42:21It's too late, Allen.
42:22There's enough gold ore in the assayer's office right now to make you out the biggest liar in 40 states.
42:27This may surprise you, Isabel.
42:29But it came from the Williams mine.
42:31Chip was right about the treasure.
42:34That must be the assayer now.
42:39Uh, yes, uh...
42:41Uh, what?
42:43Did you say approximately $800 a ton of ore?
42:47Incredible.
42:48Why, that's the richest vein found in these parts in years.
42:52Put it on paper as soon as possible.
42:55I want a certified assay.
43:00This puts a different complexion on the matter, Mr. Allen.
43:04Were you aware that there was gold in that mine?
43:07Why, of course not.
43:08I can't understand it at all.
43:10It seems to me I can understand it.
43:12Somebody must have known about it.
43:14I'll give you two guesses.
43:16Allen, this looks very much like misrepresentation on your part.
43:22Perhaps even fraud.
43:24Your Honor, this development surprises me as much as anybody else.
43:28But I don't think we should discuss it at this time.
43:30There's a much more important matter to settle.
43:32I want this man arrested and charged with robbery.
43:35He stole $2,000 from my office.
43:37You'll have to prove that, Allen.
43:39I can prove it, all right.
43:40Where's my manager, Matt Ferguson?
43:42Coming right up!
43:47Mr. Ferguson has a statement to make, folks.
43:49Haven't you busted it?
43:52Well, I did have.
43:54But I'm kind of forgetful.
43:56Where are you taking him?
43:57To the memory room.
43:59Wait a minute.
44:00It's coming back to me.
44:03I'm beginning to remember.
44:05Now cough it up.
44:07Well, there wasn't any robbery.
44:11Now take it easy, Matt.
44:15I haven't any choice, Allen.
44:17It's either you or me.
44:20Allen framed charges against this fellow and Rogers just to get them into trouble.
44:24What about this, Allen?
44:27I withdraw the charges.
44:29The mine stays under the present ownership, doesn't it, Judge?
44:31That's exactly where it stays till the court gives you full consent to sell it again.
44:41Freeman, hold those two men for the sheriff.
44:45Thank you, Judge.
44:46I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble.
44:48No trouble at all.
44:49That's what the law is for.
44:51Chip, I think this calls for a celebration.
44:53A real party.
44:55Oh, Isabel, I'd love it.
44:57You're all invited.
44:58Especially you, Judge.
45:00Will you come?
45:01Will I?
45:02I wouldn't miss a party at the Martini's Ranch for all the Ipso Factos and Blackstone.
45:21The Martini's Ranch
45:51The Martini's Ranch
46:21The Martini's Ranch
46:52The Martini's Ranch
47:07I know a quaint little guy with an eye for business
47:12Is he a busy old man?
47:14Is he the guy with the cry that will wake the dead?
47:18Must be the peanutty man
47:21Is he the clown who's around with a little basket?
47:25Could be the popcorny man
47:27Is he wearing a smile?
47:29Is he barrels of fun?
47:31There couldn't be two
47:33He must be the one
47:36Hear him come along, hear his little song
47:39Buy an enchilada
47:41Catches on his feet, mopping on his feet
47:43Buy an enchilada
47:45It's a silly whim patronizing him, but you really gotta
47:50Who's the man in question spreading indigestion?
47:52It's the enchilada man
47:54I've got a penny, you've got a penny
47:56Maybe we could share one
47:58He's got a penny, she has a penny
48:00Maybe we could spare one
48:02One little fellow starts and the fellow he would like to tear one
48:07So the little peasant gets one as a present from the enchilada man
48:11Enchilada
48:13One, two, three
48:15Now he's gone away, come another day, everybody's got one
48:19See the people laugh, see the men have fun
48:22She'll get a hot one
48:24What's he leaving for? He could sell some more
48:26Well, you see, there's not one
48:28Everybody took him, he'll get more and cook him
48:30He's the enchilada man
48:32He ought to be in the opera
48:36Singing tra-la-la-la-de-do
48:38Tra-la-la-la
48:39Tra-la-la-la-de-do
48:40Tra-la-la
48:41He's much too good for the opera
48:44With his get-em-while-they're-fresh enchilada recipe
48:48Tra-la-la
48:49He's not what I'd call a tiller
48:53And he's not a great baritone
48:56Me, me, me
48:57He's tired and old
48:59But his heart's made of gold
49:01With a new kind of voice all his own
49:05Enchilada
49:09Oh, dearie, come along
49:11Here is a good song by an enchilada
49:14Hatches on his seat, nothing on his feet
49:16Try an enchilada
49:18It's a silly whim patronizing him
49:20But you really gotta
49:22Who's the man in question spreading indigestion?
49:24He's the enchilada man
49:26When he sells big ones, he shouts
49:29Enchilada
49:30But when he sells little ones, he whispers
49:33Enchiladas
49:34Enchiladas
49:35Enchiladas
49:36Enchiladas
49:37Oh, what's he leaving for?
49:38He could sell some more
49:39Well, if he sees enough ones
49:41Everybody took them, he'll get more
49:43And took them, he's the enchilada man
50:07The cowboy and the senorita
50:12Met in Rosarito one night not so long ago
50:18I kissed her and she whispered
50:21Mister, take me to your airy old prairie
50:26I love you so
50:28Their life is sunshine and full of laughter
50:33They'll be happy forever after
50:38Why don't you come along?
50:40The air is sweeter
50:43With the cowboy and the pretty senorita
