05:41Morning, Rogers. Here's the letter we've been waiting for.
05:44Heard from Washington, huh?
05:45Our man there says the irrigation bill is all set to go through.
05:50I see he asked if we got the Clark Ranch.
05:53That property is the key to the watershed.
05:55The most important part of the deal.
05:57That's why we've got to get it.
05:59I suppose a banker just has to worry about something.
06:02You haven't delivered that land yet.
06:04Holding up the whole project.
06:05Well, you can stop your worrying.
06:07What would you think if I told you I was going to marry the Clark Ranch?
06:10No.
06:11They're announcing my engagement to Laura Clark tonight.
06:13That's the best news yet.
06:15There's always a way to make a deal.
06:16Remember that nice ranch?
06:18I told you I'd get it for a song and I did.
06:20That reminds me.
06:21You haven't paid your share of that deal yet.
06:24Just like a banker.
06:25You're always talking money.
06:27Well, the robbery left me a little short of cash.
06:29And I need money for the Blanchard payroll.
06:31You'll have to wait.
06:32I'll bring you some cash in the morning.
06:34Please don't fail me.
06:36See you later.
06:53Any news of the boy, Sheriff?
06:55I hate to tell you, Hoppy, but he must have drowned.
06:58Drowned?
06:59Yeah.
07:00We trapped him at Black Canyon.
07:01He jumped off a cliff.
07:04He never came to the surface after he hit the water.
07:07Well, that's awful.
07:09Well, that'll save the county the price of a trial and a new rope.
07:20I won't forget that, Cassidy.
07:21I don't want you to forget it.
07:34Good evening, Laura.
07:35Good evening.
07:36Hello, Tom.
07:37Hello, Sheriff.
07:38Congratulations, Jeff.
07:40You know, you're a mighty lucky fellow.
07:42I wouldn't mind putting the handcuffs to Laura myself.
07:44Listen, I might have been a very willing prisoner myself.
07:46Maybe it's lucky for me.
07:47You are a little slow with the handcuffs, Sheriff.
07:49Maybe.
07:50Swell party, Miss Laura.
07:51Don't forget to save me a dance.
07:52I won't.
07:53Come on, Jeff.
07:54Let's dance.
07:55Come on.
07:56Come on.
07:57Come on.
07:58Come on.
07:59Come on.
08:00Come on.
08:01Come on.
08:02Come on, Jeff.
08:03Let's dance.
08:04Not now.
08:05Your foreman wants to see me.
08:08You'll have to teach him better manners, Laura.
08:11Well, Dad, he has a lot of things on his mind.
08:15Hello, Haskell.
08:16Must be a pretty happy evening for you.
08:17Why not?
08:18I'm marrying the prettiest girl in the county,
08:20and her father's giving us the ranch for a wedding present.
08:22And then I'm your foreman?
08:26Right hand to partner.
08:27Swinger in back.
08:29First man, last lady.
08:30Forward and back.
08:33First lady, last man.
08:34Forward and back.
08:36First man, last lady.
08:38Swinger in partner.
08:39Why, Mr. Carlson, you look so lonesome.
08:42Would you like to dance with me?
08:44Gosh, Mrs. Anson, I sure would, but us bar 20 boys,
08:47we ain't the kind to...
08:49kind of frolic.
08:50Oh, come on.
08:51You know, I sprained my ankle today, Mrs. Anson.
08:54You'll forget all about that when you get home.
08:56You'll forget all about that when you dance with me.
09:00Mrs. Anson, for all I know,
09:01my leg might be broken two places.
09:03Oh, Mr. Carlson, if you were horse,
09:04they'd take you out and shoot you, wouldn't they?
09:07Gee, that's a good one.
09:14Good evening, Miss Laura.
09:15Good evening.
09:16Good evening, Mr. Clark.
09:17Hello, Hoppy, I'm glad to see you.
09:20By the way, have you seen California?
09:22Why, yes, I saw him...
09:24Well, there he is, right over there.
09:27He looks like he might be having a little trouble.
09:30Mrs. Anson's a very determined woman.
09:32She seems to be.
09:33No, no.
09:34No, no, Miss Anson.
09:36Now, please.
09:37It might hurt my feet to dance.
09:39After this dance, I'll pick you up
09:40and I'll give you a nice, hot mustard foot bath.
09:43Gosh.
09:44In the bunker.
09:45In the bunker?
09:46No, no, no, no, no.
09:47I'm illogical to mustard, Mrs. Anson.
09:49Is that all you're illogical to, Mr. Carlson?
09:52Why, sure.
09:53No, I'm not illogical to mustard.
09:55Why, sure.
09:56No, I'm not.
09:57Come on.
09:59Here, Miss Anson, hold my horse.
10:01I've got to see Hoppy.
10:14What's the matter, Hoppy?
10:16It's going to be a little tough to tell you, California.
10:19Bad news?
10:21Johnny is...
10:23Oh.
10:24You...
10:26You don't mean that Johnny...
10:29Jumped into the river from the top of Black Canyon?
10:37Sure took a lot of nerve to do it.
10:40Sure did.
10:41He always had plenty of that.
10:53Johnny, you all right?
10:55We thought you were...
10:56Shh, not so loud.
10:57What happened?
10:58How'd you get here?
10:59Didn't I tell you he'd make it?
11:00But I'm not safe, Hoppy.
11:01They're going to have to hide me.
11:02We'll hide you, but what happened?
11:03Well, I was going up the street when I heard an explosion.
11:05And a couple of men came running out of the bank, and more followed.
11:08Then one of them pointed at me and said,
11:09there he is, there's the man that did it.
11:11Well, I guess I lost my head when they started shooting,
11:13and I jumped on my horse and rode out of the bank.
11:15And I...
11:16I...
11:17I...
11:18I...
11:19I...
11:20I...
11:21I jumped on my horse and rode out of town.
11:22I couldn't have come back, Hoppy.
11:23They'd have lynched me.
11:24Yeah, but they found your knife in the bank.
11:26Oh, I don't know how it got there.
11:27I lost it last time I was in town.
11:29Well, Hoppy, you don't think that I...
11:30Oh, no, of course not.
11:31No, me neither.
11:32But I guess we'd better hide him until we find out who robbed the bank.
11:35Yeah.
11:36Take him out to the East Line shack.
11:37You'd better get started tonight.
11:38You wait down in the bunkhouse.
11:39I'll tell Mr. Clark I'm leaving.
11:41Okay.
11:51I'll try and get a dance with Miss Lara that'll give you a chance to talk to Clark.
11:55Right now.
12:00Where have you been, you naughty boy?
12:03Boy!
12:04Come on, we're going to dance.
12:05We are?
12:07Excuse me, may I have this dance?
12:09Certainly.
12:11Certainly.
12:22Tips and socks.
12:23Just my foot.
12:30California looks like you're doing all right.
12:32I could just die of old age.
12:34Could you?
12:42Mighty pretty.
12:43If she's my girl, I'd want to be dancing with her myself.
12:51I didn't know Cassidy was invited to this party.
13:00What do you mean?
13:01Cassidy's one of our oldest friends.
13:03He's no friend of mine.
13:04So you're not getting jealous, are you, Jeff?
13:07Come on, have a little punch.
13:08No thanks.
13:09Oh, that was fine.
13:20Thank you very much.
13:21Can I get you a drink or some ice cream?
13:23Well, I'd much rather dance than eat.
13:25I'm afraid we're out of luck.
13:26Looks like the band would rather eat than play.
13:28I didn't think you'd come to a party where you weren't invited, Cassidy.
13:32I've never needed an invitation to this ranch before.
13:34Well, invitation or not, I don't want you dancing with my fiance.
13:37What, Jeff?
13:38Come on.
13:42I'm awfully sorry, Mr.
13:43Come on.
13:49Sit down, I'll get you a nice plate of ice cream and cake.
13:54I'll be waiting.
13:55Can we have a dance, California?
13:57No, no, I'm very busy.
13:59I'm dancing with Mrs. Anson.
14:00Mrs. Anson?
14:05When are we going to have a dance?
14:06That's what I want to know.
14:07Well, I'm booked solid, ladies.
14:09I'm sorry.
14:10Oh, no.
14:11Come on.
14:12Please, I'm sorry.
14:13I can't dance.
14:14Oh, please dance.
14:15Come on.
14:16I'm busy.
14:17Will you get away from me?
14:18Oh, please dance with me.
14:19Lady.
14:25Yippee yay, yippee yay.
14:29I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle.
14:33As I go riding merrily along.
14:37And they sing, oh, ain't you glad we're single?
14:42And the song ain't so very far from wrong.
14:46Oh, lily bough, oh, lily bough.
14:50Though I may have done some fooling, this is why I never, why I never fell.
14:56I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle.
15:01As I go riding merrily along.
15:05And they sing, oh, ain't you glad we're single?
15:09And the song ain't so very far from wrong.
15:16Oh, Sally Jean, oh, Sally Jean.
15:20Though I'd like to stay fair, this is why I can't, why I can't remain.
15:26I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle.
15:31As I go riding merrily along.
15:35And they sing, oh, ain't you glad we're single?
15:39And the song ain't so very far from wrong.
15:46Yippee yay, yippee yay, yippee yay.
15:52And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
16:07Oh, California, California.
16:11Oh, Mrs. Hanson, Jane, Jane.
16:16I'm up here.
16:20There you are, you naughty boy.
16:22Hiding from me, aren't you?
16:24I'll be right down.
16:26Oh!
16:29Oh, California, are you hurt?
16:31Are you hurt?
16:32Shucks, no.
16:33I could fall twice that high.
16:35You could?
16:36Sure.
16:37If I stand, sure.
16:38Oh.
16:39Oh.
16:50Nobody'll ever find you out here, Johnny.
16:52Gosh, this is the quietest place I ever saw.
16:55I ain't gonna like it around here.
16:57You've got a nerve to be complaining.
16:59After me and Hoppy's gone to all this trouble to hide you out,
17:02if you ain't the most ungrateful pup,
17:05that's the trouble with you young whippersnapper.
17:07Oh, I take it all back.
17:09There'll be plenty of noise with you around.
17:20Whew.
17:22Boy, is it stuffy in here.
17:24There you go, complaining again.
17:26What do you expect?
17:27Hotel sweetie?
17:28Er, sooty?
17:29Sweet.
17:30Well, whatever they call it.
17:32Boy, am I hungry.
17:34I eat a half-baked wolf right now.
17:36You can make me, sir, doggone.
17:38See, I'm kind of hungry myself.
17:40Get the stove going.
17:41I'll cook up some grub, huh?
17:42Yeah.
17:43What can you cook?
17:44What can you cook?
17:46I'll cook up some grub, huh?
17:47Yeah.
17:48What can you cook?
17:49See, I can cook anything.
17:50Anything you want to...
17:53Beans.
17:54Oh, any jughead can open a can.
17:56How about something classy?
17:58How about a few hors d'oeuvres?
18:00Er, a few ever...
18:02Oh, sure.
18:03Why, sure, them things.
18:04Well, it'll take me quite a while to boil them.
18:06Oh, will, huh?
18:07Yeah.
18:08Well, how about some biscuits?
18:09That ought not take so long.
18:10Oh, biscuits?
18:11See, I won a prize at the county fair from once.
18:13You did?
18:14Yes, sir.
18:15They were as light and fluffy as a feather.
18:18The judges had trouble holding them down the table.
18:20Really?
18:21Sure.
18:22Get me some water.
18:24Well, I can hardly wait.
18:29Biscuits.
18:31I wonder how you cook them things.
18:33Doggone it.
18:34Why can't I learn to keep my big mouth shut?
18:36I'm always...
18:41There it is.
18:43One teaspoonful of butter.
18:55One teaspoonful of salt.
19:03Two eggs.
19:12Three spoonfuls of bacon powder.
19:27Two pints of flour.
19:29And milk or water.
20:00Ahem.
20:01Home, home on the range
20:05Where the deer in the antelope play
20:11Where seldom is heard
20:19A discouraging word
20:25They've come back to East Linehouse.
20:27Who, the Californians?
20:28Yeah, and a new man.
20:29Was he riding a white horse?
20:31No, there wasn't any white horse.
20:32Well, just a new cowhand, I reckon.
20:34I want you to go back and see that nobody comes near Lost Canyon.
20:37We're gonna start Clark's cattle through that draw near the East Line.
20:40All right.
20:58Ain't got him.
21:28Hey!
21:58Hey!
22:08That's bad.
22:12That's good.
22:13Flip.
22:14Butter.
22:15Salt.
22:16Eggs.
22:17Powder.
22:18Flour.
22:29Oh, my gosh!
22:31What?
22:32Uh...
22:37Oh, boy!
22:38Do those biscuits look good?
22:39Now, now, now.
22:40Come to think of it, Johnny,
22:41I don't think you ought to eat them biscuits.
22:42You know, uh, them French dishes, they're no good.
22:44They're too starchy.
22:45Since when?
22:46Well, since, uh, they'll make you fat, huh?
22:48Uh, I'll make you some scrambled eggs, huh?
22:50They'll be ready in a jiffy.
22:51I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
22:52I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
22:53I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
22:54I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
22:55I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
22:56I'll make you some scrambled eggs.
22:57They'll be ready in a jiffy.
22:58My mouth's been watering for biscuits,
22:59and that's what I'll have.
23:00Now, now, I, I, I...
23:03Light and fluffy as a feather, eh?
23:05Like feathers from Plymouth, Iraq.
23:08That's the trouble with you young squirts.
23:11You get it too easy nowadays.
23:12You're soft.
23:13You can't eat real men's grub.
23:15If you was half a man, you'd eat them biscuits.
23:17Oh, no, not me.
23:18Let's see you eat one.
23:21Go on.
23:22I'll eat it.
23:27I'll eat it.
23:47Well, how's it taste, Jeff?
23:58Not bad.
24:05Good morning, Mr. Cassidy.
24:06Oh, good morning.
24:07Thought you went home last night.
24:09No, your party was so nice, and it got a little late,
24:11so I decided to spend the night in the bunkhouse with the boys.
24:14Well, I hope you'll forgive Jeff for the way he acted.
24:17Oh, don't worry about that.
24:18I'd forgotten all about it.
24:20Thanks.
24:21Going to town?
24:22Yes.
24:23Would you like company?
24:24I certainly would.
24:26Thanks.
24:57That was fun.
24:58It certainly was.
25:03Your horse doesn't tire very easily, does he?
25:05No, he's pretty sturdy.
25:07He looks like he comes from pretty good stock.
25:09I don't know much about his past.
25:10Would you like to ride him sometime?
25:12Oh, I didn't mean that.
25:14Say, maybe I'll take you up on that sometime.
25:16Hope you do.
25:17Thanks.
25:18Bye.
25:19Bye.
25:20Bye.
25:25Laura!
25:31Good morning, Jeff.
25:32How do you feel since last night?
25:33Listen to me.
25:34No girl I'm going to marry can be seen with Cassidy.
25:36Oh, I just rode into town with him.
25:38I said I didn't want you seen with him.
25:40Well, Jeff, let's don't argue here.
25:42It's embarrassing.
25:43I don't care if it is.
25:44But I'm telling you there's absolutely nothing...
25:45You're not telling me anything.
25:47I said I didn't want you seen with him.
25:48And that's just what I mean.
25:51Jeff, I'm beginning to realize our engagement's a mistake.
25:59Laura!
26:11Looks like marrying into the Clark Ranch...
26:13isn't going to be as easy as you thought.
26:15Oh, it's just a little spat.
26:16She'll get over it.
26:17That young lady seems to have a mind of her own.
26:19If you mean she's going to be hard to handle, I'll take care of that.
26:22Just remember that it's up to you to deliver that Clark Ranch.
26:25That's exactly what I proposed to do.
26:27Don't you hold a note of Clark's?
26:29That'll be doing a few days.
26:30Yes, but that has nothing to do with the ranch.
26:32Merely a loan on some cattle.
26:34I don't want it renewed.
26:36Clark has been doing business with me for a long time.
26:39I can't very well turn him down.
26:41Besides, I don't see how it could help us.
26:43You want his ranch, don't you?
26:45Clark's counting on an extension of that note.
26:47You've got to turn him down.
26:49We have a lot of money invested in this project.
26:52Oh, by the way,
26:54here's my share of the Norris deal.
26:57But I'm not sending good money after bad.
27:01I'll tell Clark I won't renew the note.
27:04I should make you give me a receipt.
27:06I should make you show me your marriage certificate.
27:09Harry!
27:15Hello, Mr. Cassidy.
27:16Hi, Mr. Rogers.
27:18I'd like to ask you a couple of questions about that holdup you had, if you don't mind.
27:21Well, certainly.
27:23Come in.
27:24Did anybody outside the bank know that that Blanchard payroll was in the safe?
27:28No, I don't think so.
27:31You see, it was only recently that the Blanchard mine was thoroughly financed
27:34and operating on a big scale.
27:36In fact, this is only the second payroll we handled.
27:40Is anybody here in town connected with that mine in any way?
27:43No.
27:45Oh, I think Burton has a little stock that he earned as a fee for acting as Blanchard's attorney.
27:50I see.
27:52Tell me, have you had any large deposits here lately?
27:55That is, I mean, you don't usually carry a great amount of cash here, do you?
27:59No.
28:01Why do you ask?
28:02Oh, I'm just curious.
28:04Thanks.
28:16Any news?
28:17We just came from Black Canyon.
28:19Dragged the river clean down to the dam.
28:21Couldn't find a trace of him.
28:23Poor kid.
28:26You know, I still can't believe he robbed that bank.
28:30Sheriff, are you sure you were after the right man?
28:32I know how you feel, Cassidy.
28:34But Haskell saw him coming out of the bank right after the explosion.
28:37Haskell?
28:38Clark's foreman?
28:39Yes, sir.
28:40Haskell?
28:41Yes, sir.
28:43Haskell?
28:44Clark's foreman?
28:45Yes.
28:46Thanks. See you later.
28:47So long, Harvey.
29:13As I go riding merrily along
29:18And they sing, oh, ain't you glad you're single
29:23And that song ain't so very far from wrong
29:28Oh, lily bough
29:31Good evening, Mr. Clark.
29:32Hello there, Cassidy. How are you?
29:34Good evening, Miss Clark.
29:35Well, this is a pleasure.
29:38That sounds good.
29:39Yes, it does.
29:40Laura, how about getting us a cup of coffee?
29:42Certainly.
29:43Thanks.
29:45Say, Mr. Clark, I don't want to seem inquisitive,
29:49but has anybody made you an offer for your ranch?
29:52Why, yes, a syndicate.
29:54So, Mr. Burton tells me.
29:55What made you ask that?
29:56Well, I understand that Burton and Rogers have been buying up these ranches around you,
29:59and I wondered if they'd made you an offer for yours.
30:01Burton and Rogers?
30:02What would Burton want with the ranch?
30:04I didn't think he was rich enough to be investing in ranches.
30:06I didn't think so either.
30:08Do you know of any reason why he'd want this particular ranch?
30:11No, but the ranch has always made money.
30:14It never occurred to me there might be any other reason.
30:16Of course, the price of beef now is so low that it doesn't pay to sell it.
30:20I know.
30:21Here's your coffee.
30:22Oh, thank you, dear.
30:25Who are you working for now, Mr. Cassidy?
30:27No one right now.
30:29Well, Dad.
30:31Hmm?
30:32Oh, well, I need a good man. I've lost my foreman.
30:36You mean Haskell?
30:37Yes.
30:38What happened to him?
30:39I don't know. That's what troubles me.
30:41He left here this morning without saying anything.
30:45Your coffee, dear.
30:46Oh, thank you, dear.
30:48I could use his job.
30:49All right, it's yours.
30:51Cream and sugar?
30:52No, thanks.
30:53There's only one thing about it. I won't be able to show up here until about Tuesday.
30:58Well, I think we can get along without him for a couple of days if we have to.
31:01Don't you think so, Dad?
31:02Well, I guess we can, yes.
31:04Sit down, Hoppy.
31:05Sit down, Hoppy.
31:07Yippee-yay, yippee-yay, yippee-yay.
31:11And that song ain't so very far from wrong.
31:35Ha-ha-ha.
32:05Ha-ha-ha.
32:35Ha-ha-ha.
33:00California.
33:02Where'd he get you?
33:03Ha-ha.
33:04Don't you mess up.
33:06I ain't shot.
33:07When I felt the breeze from that bullet, I pulled that old trick of yours and fell off on my horse.
33:11You old faker, you.
33:13Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
33:16What do you suppose he's shooting at you for?
33:18I don't know.
33:19What you doing up here?
33:21I'm just on my way over to see you and Johnny at the shack.
33:23Well, let's go.
33:24Where's Mikhail?
33:25He's up here.
33:34Ha-ha.
33:45Hi, jailbird.
33:46Hoppy.
33:47Ha-ha-ha.
33:48How are you, kid?
33:49Oh, I'm swell.
33:50Uh, the meal's done.
33:51That looks like it's over now.
33:53Ha-ha.
33:54I suppose you could do better, you and your prize-winning biscuits.
33:56Now leave my biscuits out of this.
33:58Yeah, you two don't quit arguing, I'll fire you.
34:00You'll fire us?
34:01Sure.
34:02You're looking at your new boss.
34:03Huh?
34:04I took Haskell's place.
34:05What happened to Haskell?
34:06He quit.
34:07Huh.
34:08Good riddance if you ask me.
34:09I figured you don't care much for him.
34:11No, and nobody else does around here except that lawyer, Burton.
34:14Burton?
34:15Sure, he got Haskell out of a killing charge.
34:17Something to do with cattle rustling up at Los Altos.
34:20Is that so?
34:22Yep.
34:23Maybe it's a case of birds of a feather.
34:26Could be.
34:27Let's eat.
34:28Eat.
34:33Hello, Mr. Clark.
34:35Oh, hello, Cassidy.
34:38Say, I'm glad to see you.
34:40I'll need you sooner than I expected.
34:42Something happen?
34:43Roger just refused to renew my loan on the pedigreed cattle.
34:46He did?
34:47He knows that I can't raise the money to pay it off tomorrow.
34:50I don't quite understand it, Hoppy.
34:51It's the first time he's ever refused me.
34:56Do you suggest taking a mortgage on the cattle?
34:58No.
35:00Do you suggest taking a mortgage on the ranch?
35:02No, he said he'd have to have the cash.
35:05I guess I lost my temper.
35:06I told him I didn't have any money.
35:08And if he wanted the cattle, he'd have to send the sheriff after me.
35:11Where are they?
35:12Down toward the east line.
35:14All right, don't you worry about it.
35:15I'll be at the ranch first thing in the morning.
35:17I'd appreciate that, Cassidy.
35:18See you tomorrow.
35:30Well, what do you want?
35:32That's what I came to ask you.
35:36What do you want with the Clark Ranch?
35:38It's none of your business.
35:39I'm making it my business.
35:42A lot of people around here would like to know where you're getting the money to buy these ranches.
35:45I wouldn't lose any sleep over that if I were you.
35:47I won't.
35:49But when I want the money, I want it.
35:51I want it.
35:52I want it.
35:53I want it.
35:54I want it.
35:55I want it.
35:56I want it.
35:57I want it.
35:58But when I want money, I go to the bank to get it.
36:01In the daytime.
36:03In the daytime, huh?
36:04Too bad your pal Johnny Travers didn't follow your example.
36:09He didn't rob that bank.
36:11Still trying to prove he was an angel with wings, huh?
36:13Not was, is.
36:18He's very much alive and able to identify the men that blew that safe.
36:22Well, why don't you get the sheriff to arrest them?
36:24And while you're about it, you should be in jail too as an accessory after the fact.
36:28It's the accessory before the fact, I'm after Burton.
36:31You're the only man in town besides Rogers that knew that payroll was in the safe.
36:35You're wasting your time, Cassidy.
36:37I spent that night at the mine.
36:40A smart lawyer like you would have an alibi, wouldn't they?
36:43I'm afraid connecting me with that robbery is going to prove a very difficult job, Mr. Cassidy.
36:48Yeah, but connecting you with Haskell won't be difficult.
36:51And he's the man that claims he saw Johnny in the bank.
36:55Haskell just swung a long time ago if it hadn't been for you.
36:58I'm not interested in your theories. You're wasting my time.
37:01Get out.
37:02I'll get out.
37:04But first I'll get a full confession from you.
37:07Even if I had to wring your neck to get it.
37:10I wouldn't try it if I were you.
37:12You came just in time, Haskell.
37:14You saw this man about to attack me?
37:16I sure did.
37:17You heard his threats?
37:18Yeah.
37:19Well, don't forget them.
37:20Sure.
37:21Playing detective isn't the healthiest game in the world.
37:24I'd advise you to give it up.
37:26You're getting away with your whole skin this time.
37:28But don't cross my path again.
37:31That might prove to be good advice for yourself.
37:41What did he mean?
37:42Just that he'll be ready for us when we go after him.
37:45When we go after him?
37:46We'll never have a better chance than we had right now.
37:48We couldn't take the risk here.
37:51Cassidy's got to be stopped.
37:53What does he know?
37:54Plenty.
37:55That Johnny Travers is alive and was never in the bank.
37:57And he knows that you were.
37:59But you got the money, I didn't.
38:00You promised to protect me.
38:02Take it easy.
38:03I can handle Travers and the jury.
38:06But Cassidy's dynamite.
38:08Yeah?
38:09Well, I can take care of him and I'm starting right now.
38:12Wait.
38:13You'd better get Joe.
38:14And after you've attended to Cassidy, get those pedigree cattle of Clark's over into Lost Canyon.
38:18We've already got them on the move.
38:19All right.
38:20Get them off the Clark ranch by noon tomorrow.
38:22Now travel.
38:23Right.
38:45Stop!
38:51Everything all right, boys?
38:52Yeah, the boys are getting the cattle through without a hitch.
38:54Come on, let's ride.
39:00Oh, Rogers.
39:01I have some good news for you.
39:03Yes?
39:04We've got Clark over a barrel.
39:05What's happened?
39:06He's rustling the cattle that you hold a mortgage on.
39:07He knows he can't get away with that.
39:09That still doesn't stop him from trying.
39:11Now, I'm not saying he wants to steal the cattle.
39:13I just hide them to keep you from foreclosing on them.
39:15And he was pretty angry when I refused to renew his note.
39:19I could send him to the penitentiary for this.
39:21Sure you can.
39:22But you won't.
39:24You want to buy his ranch, don't you?
39:26Well, now he can't refuse.
39:29Say, we have got him over a barrel.
39:39You know what I can't figure out is why we couldn't find any trace of him.
39:42Not even his hat.
39:44It's a tough break for Cassidy.
39:46He was the kid's best friend.
39:48That's why I'm going to let him notify the relatives, if any.
39:57Don't you think you better get the boys and start rounding up the herd?
39:59I'm just waiting for Lonnie to get back with copper.
40:02That girl tries out every new horse that comes on the place.
40:12Why, Johnny, we thought you were dead.
40:13I'll explain about that later.
40:14Right now a band of rustlers are driving your cattle off down the east line.
40:17California says it's a pedigreed stock.
40:19Where is California?
40:20He's up on the ledge keeping a lookout.
40:21We'll stop him.
40:27Wait a minute.
40:28Where did you come from?
40:29It's all right, Sheriff. We need your help.
40:30My cattle are being rustled.
40:32I'll get to that later.
40:33Right now, I'd like to hear some explaining.
40:36Get down.
40:43Why were you two hiding the boy?
40:45Why didn't you report that he was alive?
40:47Well, Sheriff, there are probably a lot of things about this case you don't understand.
40:52I understand what I see.
40:55In the eyes of the law, you two are just about as guilty as Johnny.
40:58I reckon we'd better take the three of you to the lockup.
41:00What about them rustlers?
41:03That'd be a good trick if it'd work.
41:05Only this time, I'm not going to let you get away.
41:09All right, let's go.
41:12Well, Sheriff, now wait a minute.
41:13I think I can explain this so you'll understand.
41:25That's Cassidy.
41:27I'd know that white horse of his anyplace.
41:43He'll be coming up right there pretty soon.
41:45Pretty long shot, ain't it?
41:47Yeah, but not close enough for him to use a six-gun.
41:50You don't take any chances, do you?
41:52Not with him, I don't.
41:54Well, if you don't get him...
41:55Never mind. I ain't gonna miss.
41:57I ain't gonna miss.
42:11I don't know what's behind it,
42:13but Burton's been asking me about my piece of land near the river.
42:15He has?
42:16Yeah.
42:17There's a lot in your story that makes sense,
42:19but I can't take any chances.
42:21Well, I can appreciate that, Sheriff, but...
42:24If I can prove that Johnny wasn't in the bank at the time of that explosion,
42:26will you let us go?
42:28Might help.
42:29Good.
42:31Now, look.
42:32Wow.
42:33Must be getting cramped.
42:35Guess I better loosen my cinch.
42:38Now, look here.
42:42Here's the street.
42:46Here's the bank here.
42:47Here's the grocery.
42:50Now, right after the explosion,
42:51Haskell pointed at Johnny, who was here.
42:54And after accusing him of the robbery,
42:55he started shooting.
42:57That's right.
42:58Then the rest of us joined in
42:59when the kid started to run for his horse.
43:01Yeah, but Johnny was across the street here
43:02in front of the grocery store,
43:04walking toward the bank.
43:05There's no one to prove that.
43:06No, that's the unfortunate part of it.
43:09But, Sheriff, Johnny was here
43:10in front of the grocery store.
43:12How could he possibly have gone across the street
43:14into the bank and robbed it
43:16and been back across here in front of the store
43:18in less than a half a minute?
43:20It isn't possible.
43:22Doesn't seem so.
43:24But that still doesn't prove anything.
43:27No, I'm sorry, Cas...
43:28So am I, Sheriff. Get him up.
43:30Drop your gun belt.
43:33Keep him covered, Henry.
43:40Come on.
43:49Johnny, you ride over into the West Valley
43:50and get the boys together.
43:51Meet us at the East Line.
43:52Hurry.
43:53Come on.
43:56You know, Jim,
43:58something just struck me.
44:00Struck you?
44:01The whole world come up and hit me.
44:03Hoppy's right.
44:04That boy couldn't have been in the bank.
44:07A girl?
44:09Yeah, a girl.
44:11A girl?
44:12Yeah, a girl.
44:14A girl?
44:15Yeah, a girl.
44:16She couldn't have been in the bank.
44:18They're gonna need help.
44:19Let's go.
44:30Well, that's Topper.
44:32Something must have happened to Laura.
44:34Yeah.
44:35Henry, pick him up.
44:47Come on.
45:01What happened, Laura?
45:02Have you badly hurt him?
45:03I don't think so.
45:04Let's see here.
45:17Oh, that's a bad one.
45:18Oh, I'll be all right.
45:19Why should anybody be shooting at me?
45:21They probably thought it was me.
45:22You?
45:23Yes, I shouldn't have let you ride that white horse.
45:25Oh, but why?
45:26I'll explain that later.
45:27You better get her home, Mr. Clark.
45:28Yes.
45:29Oh, I can make it all right.
45:30No, no, I'll go with you.
45:31Come on.
45:44I'm sorry I can't go, too.
45:45That's all right.
45:46Well, so long, Hoppy.
45:47All right.
45:48Oh, say, that sheriff's still at the ranch.
45:49I won't be too happy to see him again.
45:51Ah, but he'll be mighty happy to see you, though.
45:54And bring him back with you.
45:55We might need him.
45:56Right.
46:01Bye.
46:02Bye.
46:10Come on, Henry.
46:16Come on.
46:22Come on.
46:33Come on.
46:34Come on.
46:58I'm sure glad you got here, Hoppy.
47:00Where'd they drive the cattle?
47:01Down in the Lost Canyon.
47:02I sent Johnny out to the other boys.
47:03You and Henry wait here for him.
47:04I'm going on.
47:06We'll get there as soon as we can.
47:33Come on.
47:54As soon as you hide these cattle, bring the boys back to the cabin.
48:02All right.
48:33Come on.
48:57Hoppy, you can turn ahead.
48:58Come on.
49:02Come on.
49:21In another half hour, it'll take a magician to find those cattle.
49:24Are you sure you can get away with it?
49:26I haven't made a mistake yet, have I?
49:28No, I guess you haven't, but it'd be pretty bad for me if you ever did.
49:31You know, rustling cattle and holding the banks is pretty serious.
49:34Not as serious as murder.
49:36I got you out of that, didn't I?
49:39You never forget that, do you?
49:41It wouldn't be healthy for you to forget it.
49:43Now, listen.
49:45No matter what happens, just stick to your story.
49:48Clark told you to drive the cattle off and hide them.
49:51That's all you know.
49:52Well, I guess you know what you're doing.
49:54It's going to be awful hard to convince anybody that Clark rustled his own cattle.
49:58He certainly will.
50:02Don't move.
50:15Even a correspondence course detective could figure this one out.
50:18You forget, Cassidy.
50:20I'm Tom Clark's attorney. He'll take my word against yours.
50:23Besides, I've got Haskell for cooperation.
50:26You won't even be there, Burton.
50:28It'll be my word against Haskell's.
50:30Sit down.
50:51Well, Cassidy won't bother you anymore, will he, Haskell?
50:54What are you talking about?
50:55Why, that job you sent us out to do.
50:57We spotted him coming on that white horse a mile away.
51:00Haskell knocked him over and fired...
51:01Shut up!
51:02Well, I've heard enough.
51:09Get over there.
51:14I didn't have anything to do with this.
51:17Too bad your boys bungled the job, Burton.
51:20Now you are in a tight spot.
51:23Looks like you could use a good attorney.
51:27Let's go.
51:43That looks like the Clark outfit.
51:58Let's go.
52:10Sit still.
52:19The boys are back.
52:20We're in luck.
52:21Maybe that Clark outfit will be too much for them.
52:27Let's go.
52:45This is the first time Hoppy was ever missing when things got hot.
52:48I wonder where he is.
52:49I don't know, but I sure wish he was here.
52:58Fire!
53:05Hard recourses, ain't they?
53:27Fire!
53:41You'll never tell your story to the sheriff now, Cassidy.
53:43My men will be here any minute.
53:45You sent a decoy out this morning, but you'll never get out of this.
53:48I'd hardly send Laura out as a decoy.
53:50Laura?
53:51It's all right. It was only a scratch.
53:54Your bad man there didn't take any chances.
53:56But the shot from a half a mile away...
54:27Yes, sir.
54:41They'll make a break for the cabin in a minute.
54:43And we'll sure fix them.
54:45Come on, California.
54:56Fire!
55:14So what's this all about?
55:15You'll find out.
55:16Well, I ain't nowhere close.
55:19You could have fooled me.
55:27Right, Sheriff Thomas.
55:29Just a minute.
55:30Drop your gun.
55:31Get over there.
55:47Get your guns. They're closing in on us.
55:49Move it!
55:53All right, drop your guns.
55:56Get over there.
56:03See, California, it'll be easy from here.
56:05What are you talking about? What's gonna be easy?
56:07Look.
56:24All right.
56:25Drop them.
56:31Get out there and show yourself.
56:32Call off your men.
56:34Tell them to go back.
56:36Go on.
56:37Get out.
56:47Hold your fire. That's Cassidy.
56:56We could sure use a batch of your biscuits right now.
57:01They were scared of me, wasn't they?
57:16I always know to roll in the stones worth doing the boots.
57:20Come on.
57:21That was a pretty good shot they made.
57:25Oh, let me have your gun, Jim.
57:26I'll see if there's anybody left in here.
57:35Drop your guns. Get on your feet.
57:41Have you seen Hoppy?
57:42He's in there.
57:43I don't see him.
57:44I don't see him.
57:45I don't see him.
57:46I don't see him.
57:47I don't see him.
57:48I don't see him.
57:49Have you seen Hoppy?
57:50He's inside.
57:51Inside?
57:52Jumping Jupiter, you and your ideas.
57:58Say, we busted things up a little, huh?
58:00Yeah, and you'd have saved us a lot of trouble if you'd busted them up a little bit more.
58:03Come on. Get out of here.
58:05Get out of here.
58:19All right, Sheriff. They're all yours.
58:21Thanks, Hoppy.
58:25Well, we got enough on that gang to keep them in the pen the rest of their lives.
58:31You know, Haskell admitted he planted my knife in the bank.
58:34He put me in a tough spot, Johnny.
58:35And so were you, Hoppy.
58:37Oh, it wasn't so bad.
58:38But if you ever find yourself in the same fix, just send for California and Johnny and give them a big pile of rock.
58:43You betcha.
58:44Or let him make some more biscuits.
58:48I heard about that.
