01:00♪♪
01:26Put away your guns. I'm trying to help you keep your prison.
01:42Keep going.
01:43I'll be so excited to go ahead.
01:45So excited to stop.
01:47You're not weak.
01:56Don't feel a thing.
02:06Keep going.
02:25There, did you get him?
02:27Yeah.
02:28Car went over the cliff.
02:30Since Roberts and Weston are both done for.
02:32Better get out of here and make sure.
02:34I moved.
02:35The vigilantes are coming.
02:36The vigilantes?
02:37Are you sure?
02:38Yeah.
02:39They followed Canfield's car out from the jail.
02:41They'll be here any minute.
03:02The kid's alone.
03:03Roberts gave us the slip.
03:04Double-check.
03:05Pick up the trail.
03:17Hey, Roberts.
03:19Weston.
03:21It's all right.
03:22They're gone.
03:23Okay, Mr. Canfield.
03:27How about you, Roberts?
03:30All right, I reckon.
03:38That was a pretty close call.
03:39The mob almost got you, eh?
03:41That was no mob.
03:43That was the outlaw gang, and your man Bates was with them.
03:46Bates, an outlaw?
03:48You must be mistaken.
03:49Well, he was with them all right.
03:52The same gang I ran into the night that Mark Allen was murdered.
03:56Well, if what you say is true, I...
04:00Oh, here come the vigilantes now.
04:02Your sister's with them, Weston.
04:04You tell the vigilantes to round up Bates,
04:07and I'll have the wild boy identify him as Mark Allen's murderer.
04:11Pick him up, Roberts.
04:14You're wanted for murdering yourself,
04:16and I don't intend to let you get away.
04:21Leave him alone.
04:28All right, kid, come a-running.
04:33I'm sorry, Mr. Canfield.
04:35I ain't aiming to meet up with them vigilantes yet.
04:44Quick!
04:45Roberts is getting away!
04:50There he goes.
04:51That's the sheriff's job, Canfield.
04:53We're here to protect Weston.
04:55Well, so am I.
04:57Sheriff asked me to hide him in my range,
04:59so if you'll see us safely there, I...
05:01Oh, no, Mr. Canfield.
05:02We'll take charge of him ourselves.
05:05All right, Weston.
05:06You're riding with us.
05:26Ooh.
05:28This is where I left my saddle when my horse was shot.
05:31Save us a trip.
05:32I'll pick it up now.
05:41Yeah.
05:43Train.
05:44Train.
05:46Horse.
05:48Train.
05:49Horse.
05:50Boy.
05:52Train.
05:54Horse.
06:00Man.
06:02Man food.
06:04Man.
06:07Are you trying to tell me that a horse and a train
06:11had something to do with the killing of my brother?
06:25Horse.
06:26Horse.
06:27Horse.
06:28Horse.
06:29Horse.
06:30Horse.
06:31Horse.
06:32Horse.
06:33Do you mean that the devil horse is El Diablo
06:40and he didn't die in the Forest Fire?
06:44Horse.
06:45Horse.
06:46Horse.
06:47Horse.
06:48Horse.
06:49Horse.
06:50Horse.
06:51Horse.
06:52A horse?
06:53A horse!
06:57A kid I wish you could talk.
07:01Well, that's it for the wild herd.
07:03I've got to get me a horse.
07:11Look yonder.
07:12There's Robert, the kid from the devil horse.
07:23My brother's mare is in that herd.
07:26She's the one I want.
07:31Horse.
07:32Here.
07:34Horse!
07:36Horse?
07:37Yeah.
07:42Here's how I catch you, the devil horse.
07:44Canfield's orders are not to come back without him.
07:46Steve, you take care of Robert.
07:48The rest of us will get the horse and the kid.
07:52All right.
08:23Here goes, Jake.
08:24It's Robert.
08:52Look out!
09:03Don't shoot Bill!
09:22Come on, son, let's pick up that mare and get out of here.
09:53Now, don't lose your nerve, boy.
09:55Lose my nerve?
09:56If the vigilantes get baits and Lee Weston starts to talk,
09:59our necks are in the noose.
10:01I tell you, we'd better light out while there's time.
10:03I told you, I'm not going away from here without the devil horse.
10:06Yeah?
10:07Well, you will never get him.
10:08Yes, I will.
10:09Jake and his boys are out after him now,
10:10and I'll have him before the day's over.
10:12Then we'll clear out of here.
10:18Hello?
10:19Yeah?
10:20Yeah?
10:21Talking.
10:22This is Jake, Mr. Canfield.
10:24What?
10:25To get him?
10:28Now listen here.
10:30I don't want your excuses.
10:31I want that horse.
10:32Now you get this, Jake.
10:34Yeah?
10:35Yeah?
10:37Yeah, boss.
10:38I will.
10:40Yeah, I will, Mr. Canfield.
10:42All right, that settles it, Canfield.
10:44You can stay on hang if you want to, but I'm lighting out right now.
10:49Now wait a minute, boy.
10:50Now listen.
10:51We're not lit yet.
10:53I'll see that they don't get baked,
10:55and believe me, I've got a way to keep Weston from talking.
11:00You see, his sister's over at the ranch alone.
11:04You get over there.
11:06My brother's dying message.
11:12Oh, I know you didn't kill him, son.
11:15You must have meant somebody else.
11:20Well, that seems to be plain enough.
11:25Boy, for the capital beast,
11:29and that little upright line.
11:35Boyd, the banker.
11:41Oh, that couldn't be possible.
11:44If only I had the only words that fits.
11:48Son, I'm going to kill you.
11:52I'm going to kill you.
11:54I'm going to kill you.
11:56Son, I'm going to get this Mr. Boyd,
12:00where you can look him over,
12:02and see if he's the man that killed my brother.
12:27Is the cash all put away in the safe box?
12:30Yes, Mr. Boyd.
12:31Well, I'll leave you to lock up.
12:33All right.
12:45Oh, Mr. Boyd.
12:50Boyd to the ranch.
12:51I'll ride along with you.
12:52All right, Sanders.
13:22What's the matter?
13:24I've got to tighten my fence.
13:26My saddle's slipping.
13:28Don't look back.
13:29We're being trailed.
13:38It's Roberts.
13:40No, no, no.
13:41Not that way.
13:42We can't afford to miss.
13:45The outlaw's along the way to the warehouse.
13:47He'll be here any minute.
13:49The outlaw's along the way to the western ranch.
13:52We'll let Roberts trail us and trap him there.
13:55That's a slick idea.
13:56Come on.
14:19There's Miss Weston.
14:20So long.
14:28Hello, Mr. Boyd.
14:31I heard about your brother.
14:32It's too bad, but don't worry.
14:34Everything will be all right.
14:35And if there's anything that I can do.
14:41Mr. Roberts, you're mad to come here.
14:43Don't you know the party's looking for you?
14:45That's the risk I've got to take.
14:47Mr. Boyd, I want a word with you in private.
14:49There's nothing you've got to say to me that Miss Weston can't hear.
14:52I'm the best judge of that.
14:59Get on your horse.
15:00Stop.
15:01You don't know what you're doing.
15:02Why, Mr. Boyd is.
15:03No use to try to argue with an outlaw, Miss Weston.
15:13Roberts, he's at the western ranch.
15:15Hurry up, boys.
15:18Blackman.
15:22Get to the barn, quick.
15:25Don't let him get away.
15:36Quick, get back.
15:42Hey, Bill.
15:48We haven't a chance down here.
15:50Quick, open the loft.
16:17Come on.
