00:01:04♪
00:01:22All right, boys, get the herd moving.
00:01:24♪
00:01:37Well, I hate to see you go, Hoppy,
00:01:40but I guess your mind is made up.
00:01:42I know, Buck, I've been talking about going to New York for a long time.
00:01:47I figured after I got these cattle loaded, there wouldn't be much doing.
00:01:49It'd be a good time for them to make the trip.
00:01:51Gee, Hoppy, I don't see why I can't go.
00:01:54You're staying right here with Windy.
00:01:56I kind of figure a new boss might do you some good.
00:02:00Oh, but Hoppy, if I go...
00:02:00Oh, there you go.
00:02:02Ain't you learned yet when Hoppy says something, he means it?
00:02:05Ha ha ha ha.
00:02:13Let's go to New York.
00:02:15Yep.
00:02:19Couldn't let you go without saying goodbye, Hoppy.
00:02:21Well, if it might have nice of you to come over.
00:02:23Have a good time.
00:02:25I will.
00:02:26Hurry back, because we're sure going to miss you.
00:02:28Goodbye.
00:02:29Goodbye.
00:02:32Goodbye, boys.
00:02:34So long, Buck.
00:02:34So long, Hoppy.
00:02:35Bye, Hoppy.
00:02:36Bye, Hoppy.
00:02:45I sure hate to see Hoppy go without us, Windy.
00:02:47You don't hear me cheering, then, do you?
00:02:49Come on, let's head back to the ranch.
00:02:50Not me.
00:02:51I'm going into town.
00:02:52I've got a little forgetting to do.
00:02:53You hear what Hoppy said.
00:02:55I'm the boss.
00:02:56You better steer clear of town.
00:02:57Besides, you heard what Buck said.
00:02:59He don't want his men getting in no fights.
00:03:02Well, maybe a little excitement wouldn't go bad right now.
00:03:05Yeah.
00:03:06Maybe it wouldn't.
00:03:07Right now.
00:03:20Oh, hi, Grady.
00:03:22Hello.
00:03:23Did you look over those last samples of ore
00:03:25that Slate brought in?
00:03:26Just finished.
00:03:27It runs over 600 hours to the ton.
00:03:30I had an idea, Miss Highgrade.
00:03:33Let's see what we can find out.
00:03:35No.
00:03:35It's not the kind of stuff you think it is.
00:03:37Now, let's get out of here.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:40I'll talk to you later.
00:03:41Goodbye.
00:03:42Goodbye.
00:03:43Goodbye.
00:03:44Goodbye.
00:03:45I'll see you later.
00:03:46Goodbye.
00:03:47Goodbye.
00:03:48Goodbye.
00:03:49Goodbye.
00:03:50That seems to be my lucky day. I'm getting all the breaks.
00:03:52What do you mean?
00:03:54Cassidy pulled out this morning, heading for new range.
00:03:57For good.
00:03:59I'll bet ten to one to freeze out mine as a new owner in sight of a month.
00:04:04You figure out everything, don't you Perkins?
00:04:07Tell Slade I'm expecting him to see that an accident happens to Dennis.
00:04:11And the sooner the better.
00:04:21How'd it happen?
00:04:22Got careless.
00:04:24I told him to be careful while he's working around that dead end.
00:04:27A piece of timber fell on him.
00:04:29That's the third man that's died down here in a week.
00:04:33I'm beginning to think the place is jinxed.
00:04:35Me too.
00:04:36And if it weren't that folks might think I was yellow, I'd quit right now.
00:04:40And I'd tell all the boys they'd better do the same thing.
00:04:42Can't say that I blame you much.
00:04:51Lead with your left, Lucky.
00:04:53You ain't going to win no fight, lead with your right.
00:05:06Bridger, call off your miners.
00:05:09What's the matter, Peters? My men fell?
00:05:12No, no, no, no.
00:05:14They're all right.
00:05:16They're all right.
00:05:18What's the matter, Peters? My men playing a little too rough for your cowboys?
00:05:22Your men can't take care of themselves.
00:05:24Why don't you keep them out of town?
00:05:26That's exactly what I'm going to do.
00:05:33Lucky!
00:05:39I've asked you men not to come into town.
00:05:42Now I'm ordering you to stay out.
00:05:45From now on, any man that wants to keep on working for me...
00:05:48has got to stay out of this town.
00:05:51Now get back to the ranch.
00:06:02If Hoppy was along, I bet you we'd lick Frasier and his gang.
00:06:05I don't know why he had to go traipsing off anyhow.
00:06:07I bet he had a darn good reason.
00:06:09If you'd done like I told you and hadn't led with your right, you wouldn't have got that black eye.
00:06:13Yeah, well, what'd you lead with?
00:06:27Here's where we hit that pay streak, didn't it, Slade?
00:06:29Yes, Mr. Dennis.
00:06:31It held up and improved until we started operating the new tunnel...
00:06:35and fell off completely.
00:06:37That happens sometimes.
00:06:39You think you've got a vein of good ore and it pinches out.
00:06:42Well, I suppose there's nothing left to do but suspend work...
00:06:45until I locate that vein again.
00:06:47I hate to do it, but tell the men.
00:06:49Yes, Mr. Dennis.
00:07:12♪♪
00:07:41♪♪
00:07:57It's the boss.
00:08:05He's dead.
00:08:08All right, let's get him out of here.
00:08:14Somebody's got to tell his wife.
00:08:22I didn't want to bring the matter up at a time like this, Mr. Dennis...
00:08:25but I knew the circumstances.
00:08:27I knew your husband was running short of cash.
00:08:29I appreciate your tact, but I've no intention of selling the mine.
00:08:33I'll be frank with you.
00:08:35I don't see how you could possibly develop the freeze-out mine...
00:08:38without it costing you a lot more than it's worth.
00:08:40However, I think I could handle both of them...
00:08:43without much added expense or trouble.
00:08:45Thanks, Mr. Fraser, but I'm not interested in selling.
00:08:49That mine was Denny's dream.
00:08:52I only thought that you would want to carry out your husband's plans...
00:08:56and make your home in the East.
00:08:58I'll move East when I'm satisfied the freeze-out is on a paying basis again.
00:09:02Well, I wish you luck.
00:09:04I hope you succeed.
00:09:06I will, Mr. Fraser.
00:09:08Goodbye.
00:09:09Goodbye, Mrs. Dennis.
00:09:16I hear they had another accident in the freeze-out mine today.
00:09:20Looks like that'd be a good place to stay out of.
00:09:23Yeah.
00:09:24I feel kind of sorry for Mrs. Dennis trying to run it all alone.
00:09:29You hear that, son?
00:09:30Yeah.
00:09:31Accidents will happen.
00:09:34I'm just wondering if they all was accidents.
00:09:40Where are you going?
00:09:41Town.
00:09:42I got an idea Miss Ann needs my help.
00:09:45You know what the boss said?
00:09:46If he catches you in town, it's going to cost you your job.
00:09:49Listen, Lucky.
00:09:50If it was Hoppy...
00:09:52and somebody needed him...
00:09:54he wouldn't wait to find out what it was going to cost.
00:10:02Wait a minute.
00:10:03I'm going with you.
00:10:10It's very kind of both of you.
00:10:12But what help can you be?
00:10:13You men know nothing about mining.
00:10:15Why, Miss Ann, I forgot more about mining than most men around here will ever know.
00:10:19I'll get you miners if I have to round them up with a six-gun.
00:10:22It's more than that, Wendy.
00:10:23I'm not satisfied with the findings of the inquest.
00:10:26I'm sure Dennis' death wasn't accidental.
00:10:29If you leave it to me, I'll find out.
00:10:31Oh, you couldn't find out what day it was if you had a handful of calendars.
00:10:34I wish Hoppy was here.
00:10:36I'd bet him me straightening this thing out in jig time.
00:10:41It wouldn't take long to get a letter to him.
00:10:44I couldn't expect Hoppy to do favors for me.
00:10:46If you think you can, Miss Ann...
00:10:48you don't know him like I thought you did.
00:10:50I can't ask him to come back, Wendy.
00:10:55He's sure in a mess all right.
00:10:57Yes, because he's too proud to call on the one man who can help her.
00:11:00Well, we can do the calling for her.
00:11:02I'm going to write Hoppy a letter as soon as we get back to the ranch.
00:11:05Can you write?
00:11:07You don't think I went to school a whole year for nothing, do you?
00:11:10Can anybody read your writing?
00:11:12Anybody but you, you windbag.
00:11:14Say, on second thought, I don't think I should write Hoppy that letter.
00:11:17Afraid even he can't read it, huh?
00:11:19Ain't that?
00:11:20Probably wouldn't reach him in time before he left the shipping post.
00:11:23Well, one of us has got to go after him.
00:11:25Yeah, well, it might as well be me.
00:11:27See you later, Wendy.
00:11:31Heh, young whippersnapper.
00:11:55Lucky.
00:12:18Sure glad I caught you.
00:12:20What's the matter?
00:12:22Dennis has been killed.
00:12:25Dennis?
00:12:27Looks like murder.
00:12:30Uh, I'd better go back.
00:12:34Knew you'd see things that way.
00:12:36Uh, never mind quieting down. I can't go.
00:12:53Lucky, huh?
00:12:55Bring my bag and I'll see you.
00:13:15Get back inside, Slade. I don't want Cassidy to see you with me.
00:13:23Wonder what he's doing back in town.
00:13:25I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet two to one he's not here to help us.
00:13:29I don't like the looks of it.
00:13:31Well, it's too late to back out now. We're in too deep.
00:13:34But I've got an idea that I can figure just as fast as Mr. Cassidy.
00:13:38We'll let him make the first move.
00:13:41Let him think he's got things his own way.
00:13:44Then when the right time comes,
00:13:46we'll go after him.
00:13:48He'll think he's got things his own way.
00:13:51Then when the right time comes,
00:13:53I'll take care of Mr. Cassidy if I have to.
00:13:56Now go on and tell me the rest of the story.
00:13:59You know I'll do anything I can to help you.
00:14:01I haven't any right to ask you to get mixed up in my troubles.
00:14:04You've got every right in the world, Ann.
00:14:07You know how I felt about Denny.
00:14:09Now come on, tell me.
00:14:12Well, things were going along fine.
00:14:15I thought our history could develop into something really worthwhile.
00:14:18It did. We were going east to live.
00:14:21He went down to the mine to see why the ore was dropping off.
00:14:25A timber fell on him, so they said.
00:14:28But I don't believe it.
00:14:32Somebody's trying to get that property.
00:14:36There's a mine right next to yours, isn't there?
00:14:38Why, yes. The devil may care of mine.
00:14:41Who owns that?
00:14:42Fraser.
00:14:44You know anything about him?
00:14:45Oh, no, except that he's always been rather nice, as far as I know.
00:14:49Did, uh...
00:14:51Did he ever try to buy the mine since Denny...
00:14:53I mean, since the accident?
00:14:55Why, yes.
00:14:56He said it wasn't worth anything, but if a few hundred dollars would help me, he...
00:15:00Hoppy, you don't think he...
00:15:01I don't know what to think.
00:15:03The first thing we've got to do is find out what happened to that pastry.
00:15:07If that's still there, that'll tell us a lot.
00:15:10You're not going to try working that mine yourself.
00:15:12It's the only way we can find out anything.
00:15:14But more men are liable to die down there.
00:15:16Maybe you.
00:15:18Nobody goes till his time comes.
00:15:21Besides, folks have always said I don't kill easy.
00:15:25I'm going over to see Buck Peters.
00:15:28Mind if I ride with you?
00:15:29I don't know any better company.
00:15:31Wait a minute, and I'll change.
00:15:43Shh.
00:15:46Lucky's contraptions cross between swimming in the creek and fetching a pail of water.
00:15:52Hey!
00:15:53What's the idea of getting so clean?
00:15:55You'll just get dirty again.
00:15:57Ain't you ever heard that cleanliness is next to godliness?
00:15:59Oh, that's on a Sunday.
00:16:01Oh, that's every day.
00:16:03Well, anyway, you're cleanly.
00:16:06That's better than being neither.
00:16:08You're darn tootin'.
00:16:11Oh, close your trap, you young whippersnapper.
00:16:16But Buck, the only thing I'm asking is, will you and the boys back me up when I need you?
00:16:20Hoppy, I'm a cattleman.
00:16:23I don't want nothing to do with miners or mining.
00:16:27Besides, I'm aiming to steer clear of any trouble that don't concern me.
00:16:32You've got a right to feel that way.
00:16:35Oh, I've got no argument with you there.
00:16:37Well, thanks for listening, anyhow.
00:16:40You ain't aiming to go through with this thing by yourself, are you, Hoppy?
00:16:46Dennis was a friend of mine.
00:16:49Well, all right.
00:16:51I'm just a dang soft-hearted idiot for giving in to you.
00:16:56Darn your hide, you always did have a way of making me see things your way.
00:17:01You mean you'll help me out?
00:17:03Yeah, I reckon it amounts to that.
00:17:05Oh, thanks a lot, Buck.
00:17:07I suppose as long as I'm going to back you up, I might just as well feed you, too.
00:17:12Come on in, get yourself a bite to eat.
00:17:14I'll join you in a minute. I want to speak to Windy.
00:17:16All right.
00:17:20Oh, hello, Windy.
00:17:22Howdy.
00:17:23I want to thank you for getting Mr. Cassidy.
00:17:25Oh, it wasn't me, Miss Hans. We're lucky.
00:17:28Say, if you want to thank him, I'll fetch you to him. He's just around the corner.
00:17:32Please do, Windy. I want to see him.
00:17:34Lady, I'd be tickled to death.
00:17:40Hey, Jim.
00:17:41Seen Lucky around here anywhere?
00:17:43Yeah, I saw him over there in a barrel.
00:17:45In a barrel?
00:17:46Yeah.
00:17:48I wonder why.
00:17:49Let's see.
00:17:52Yeah, well, a little water wouldn't hurt any of you fellas.
00:17:59Go away, Windy!
00:18:01Go away, Windy!
00:18:03There's a lady to see you, Lucky.
00:18:05Go away, Windy.
00:18:07First time I ever seen him scared of a woman.
00:18:10Go away, Windy.
00:18:11Oh, what's the matter?
00:18:13I guess he must be stuck in the barrel.
00:18:16Maybe I ought to bust it open.
00:18:18Go away, I'm taking a shower.
00:18:21I'll wait out in front.
00:18:24Please go away, Windy.
00:18:28Come on, Lucky.
00:18:30The lady wants to see you.
00:18:31Yeah, well, I don't want to see her.
00:18:33Go away.
00:18:35Oh, all right.
00:18:43Do a good job now.
00:18:46That's a dirty trick.
00:19:01The custody is to freeze out getting a bunch of miners together.
00:19:03What's he up to?
00:19:04Figuring on opening the mine.
00:19:06Well, get up there quick and keep an eye on him.
00:19:08You have to go to work digging rock yourself.
00:19:10I got you.
00:19:12I ask you men to come up here to find out how many of you are willing to go back to work.
00:19:16Ain't none of us working for our health.
00:19:18Nobody's asking you to.
00:19:21I just bought into this mine and I'll guarantee that every man that goes in there gets paid for it.
00:19:26Looks like you're throwing good money after bad, mister.
00:19:28Maybe so.
00:19:30But I still got an idea there's pay dirt in that mine.
00:19:33Even if there is, I ain't hankering to go down there no more.
00:19:36The place is jinxed, I tell you.
00:19:38A man takes his life in his hands every time he goes into that mine.
00:19:43You men don't look like you're scared easy.
00:19:46But maybe I'm wrong.
00:19:48Well, if none of you got nerve enough to go in there with me,
00:19:51it looks like I'll have to work the mine myself.
00:19:54Ain't nobody going to back me down, mister.
00:19:56If you're willing to go into that mine, I am too.
00:19:58As long as I get paid for it.
00:19:59Me too.
00:20:01I heard what you said, Mr. Cassidy.
00:20:04As long as you're going to work the mine, I'm willing to string along with you if I have to swing a pick myself.
00:20:09I can be a big help to you.
00:20:10I was foreman here and I know the whole layout.
00:20:13And besides, if there's anything I can do to help the little lady that owns the place, I'd be glad to do it.
00:20:19Thanks, mister...
00:20:20Slade.
00:20:22I'd be glad to have a foreman like you.
00:20:23Get the boys started.
00:20:24All right, boys.
00:20:25All who want to work, check in.
00:20:40Why would you want to keep the men working right in this part of the tunnel?
00:20:43There's some likey-looking rock around here.
00:20:46Well, I don't know about you, but I'm going to have to work the mine.
00:20:49Why would you want to keep the men working right in this part of the tunnel?
00:20:51There's some likey-looking rock around here.
00:20:54Thanks, I'll do that.
00:20:55That's fine.
00:20:58All right, you men.
00:20:59Keep busy just where you are.
00:21:06You sure know your work.
00:21:08Ought to.
00:21:09Been mining all my life.
00:21:11You know, I'm mighty lucky to have men like you around me.
00:21:13You and Slade.
00:21:15He seems to know what he's doing.
00:21:17Well, I guess he knows his job all right.
00:21:20Say, uh...
00:21:22Was he the foreman down here when they were tunneling that rich vein of ore?
00:21:25Yeah.
00:21:27Was he one of the men working for him?
00:21:29No, Slade had trouble with that bunch.
00:21:31Fired them all.
00:21:32Accused them of high-grade.
00:21:48Come on, get a move on.
00:21:50We gotta get a load out.
00:22:47Come on.
00:23:18Hey, Slade.
00:23:23I'll put you round to have a night watchman around here.
00:23:25I'm going into town, so I'll pick up somebody.
00:23:27Oh, you needn't bother, Mr. Cassidy.
00:23:29If you think we need a night watchman, I'll get just the man for you.
00:23:32Think you can trust him?
00:23:33Well, I wouldn't have him around here if I couldn't.
00:23:36All right, go ahead and hire him.
00:23:37Needn't worry about the money.
00:23:38I'll take care of it.
00:23:39I'll take care of it.
00:23:40I'll take care of it.
00:23:41I'll take care of it.
00:23:42I'll take care of it.
00:23:43I'll take care of it.
00:23:44I'll take care of it.
00:23:45I'll take care of it.
00:23:46Go ahead and hire him.
00:23:47In the meantime, keep the boys busy.
00:23:49See you later.
00:24:00Hi, fellas.
00:24:01Hi, Hoppy.
00:24:02Hello, Hoppy.
00:24:04Got a job for you two.
00:24:05Trouble brewing?
00:24:06We're ready.
00:24:07There's gonna be a watchman at the Freeze Out Mine tonight.
00:24:09I want you to invite him out to the ranch for a little visit.
00:24:12You might have to invite him real hard.
00:24:15Meaning I'm supposed to ride hard on him.
00:24:17That's it, exactly.
00:24:18And you gotta keep him from talking.
00:24:20Well, how about me?
00:24:21You ain't gonna leave me out of this.
00:24:22Not on your life, old timer.
00:24:24I'm saving you for the most important job.
00:24:27You're gonna take the night watchman's place.
00:24:30Oh, it's all right now.
00:24:31You'll be right in the middle of all the excitement.
00:24:33Well, whatever it is, you can depend on me.
00:24:35What's the play?
00:24:36Well, the first thing we got to do is get this guy out to the ranch.
00:24:39Then tomorrow, I want you to come up to the Freeze Out place
00:24:42and meet a fella up there by the name of Slade.
00:24:45So you're sure Cassidy isn't wise to what we've been doing?
00:24:48Of course.
00:24:49He even let me put Martin on as night watchman.
00:24:51That was a smart idea.
00:24:53Well, I'm putting a night gang to work every night from now on
00:24:56instead of once a week.
00:24:57And it's up to you to see that nobody gets wise.
00:25:01How much we got in the kitty now, Perkins?
00:25:03Over 15,000.
00:25:05Ah, that's piker money.
00:25:07We're gonna have 50,000 in the pot this time next month.
00:25:1150,000?
00:25:13Hurry up, get back to your job.
00:25:14Yes, sir.
00:25:45Hi, Joe.
00:25:46Hello.
00:25:47Hi, Jack.
00:26:05Hi, Slade.
00:26:06Hi, Pierce. Everything's clear.
00:26:08Good.
00:26:10Say, would Cassidy like to lay his eyes on you?
00:26:13Ah, shut up.
00:26:31See you tomorrow night.
00:26:37Bye, Evans.
00:26:38You sure Martin knows about giving us the signal?
00:26:40Yeah, leave it to him.
00:26:43Good night.
00:26:44Good night.
00:26:53You got everything straight?
00:26:54Sure.
00:26:55If I see any strangers around, I wrap on the water pipe.
00:26:58Right.
00:26:59Keep your eyes open.
00:27:00Good night.
00:27:01Good night.
00:27:13Stay where you are.
00:27:14I'll take charge of that little trinket.
00:27:16Never mind wrapping on that water pipe.
00:27:19Say, you look tired.
00:27:21I'll bet you're just aching to get out there on a ranch.
00:27:24You're crazy.
00:27:25I got a job here.
00:27:26Oh, no.
00:27:27You mean you did have a job here.
00:27:29See what'd I tell you, Wendy?
00:27:30He's just crazy to get out there.
00:27:32Yeah.
00:27:33I'll bet you're just aching to go out there with me.
00:27:36Well, it looks like since you're doing the inviting, I'll have to accept.
00:27:40Oh, you'll love it out there.
00:27:41Nice soft beds and good eats.
00:27:44Shall I take your arm or will you come along?
00:27:46You'll get yours for this.
00:27:48You don't need to go thanking us here.
00:27:50You can thank me when I get back to the ranch.
00:27:57Hoppy, I'm worried.
00:27:59What about?
00:28:00I wish I hadn't gotten you into this.
00:28:02If there's going to be any gunplay...
00:28:04Why don't you let me do the worrying?
00:28:06I can't help it, Hoppy.
00:28:07If anything were to happen to you, I'd feel I was to blame.
00:28:14You might as well know the truth, Ann.
00:28:19This town's liable to be a mighty unhealthy place for a while.
00:28:23Why don't you go out to the ranch and stay?
00:28:25At least until this is straightened out.
00:28:27I'm going to stay right here.
00:28:29Maybe I can be of some help.
00:28:32But you can't tell what's liable to happen.
00:28:34You might even be in danger yourself.
00:28:38Why don't you go away for a while?
00:28:40No.
00:28:41I'm staying.
00:28:44All right. Have it your own way.
00:28:49Morning, Murphy.
00:28:50Morning.
00:28:52Morning.
00:28:53Morning.
00:29:00Good morning, Mr. Cassidy.
00:29:02Oh, good morning, Slade.
00:29:04You're up early.
00:29:05Yeah, waking the sun up.
00:29:06Thought I'd take a run up here first thing.
00:29:10Say, uh, Slade.
00:29:11I thought you was going to hire a watchman.
00:29:13I did hire one.
00:29:14Les Martin came to work last night.
00:29:17Nobody on the job when I come up here this morning.
00:29:19There wasn't?
00:29:22Maybe he went to sleep in the tool shed.
00:29:30Hey, which one of you fellas is a foreman?
00:29:33He is.
00:29:34Eh?
00:29:35I say he is.
00:29:37What say?
00:29:38He's a foreman, you deaf old idiot.
00:29:41What do you want? I'm the foreman.
00:29:43I'm looking for that night watchman's job.
00:29:46I met the fella that had it.
00:29:48He said he was quitting to go up to the county seat and see a doctor.
00:29:51He's ailing.
00:29:52Something wrong with his penicillin.
00:29:56I think we better get somebody else for a watchman.
00:29:58This old good-for-nothing's a blank unless you yell at him.
00:30:01You say something to me, mister?
00:30:03Well, how about a job?
00:30:05If I don't get it, I don't eat.
00:30:07I hate to turn down a hungry man.
00:30:10Well, it's up to you if you think he can earn his keep.
00:30:13I think he can.
00:30:15What's your name, you old battle-axe?
00:30:17Your name. Name. N-A-M-E.
00:30:20I ain't lame.
00:30:22What's your name?
00:30:23Oh, name. Yeah.
00:30:25Hallowishishweeny.
00:30:28Anything else?
00:30:29Age?
00:30:30Huh?
00:30:31Age.
00:30:32Age.
00:30:33Never had the age of another.
00:30:34How old are you?
00:30:35Thirty-two.
00:30:37What's all the yelling about here, huh?
00:30:40If that guy's thirty-two, I'm a hyena.
00:30:43What's that?
00:30:44Let it go.
00:30:45Huh?
00:30:46Experience?
00:30:47Hey, what's the matter with this fella? Can't he talk English?
00:30:50He's all right. Tell him you'll take the job.
00:30:53Tell him what?
00:30:54Say you'll take the job!
00:30:56You're darn tootin' I'll take the job.
00:30:58What are you supposed to come up here for, pick-daisy?
00:31:01Afford to work at eight tonight.
00:31:03Hey, eight it is, and I'd like to see somebody stop me.
00:31:06He'll sleep in the tool shack.
00:31:08You better show him where he's gonna sleep.
00:31:10If you try explaining anything to him, you'll have to yell your lungs out.
00:31:31A little early for work, Mr. Slade.
00:31:33I make an inspection every night.
00:31:35Huh?
00:31:36Oh, shut up.
00:31:37Oh, lost your pup, huh?
00:31:39Too bad.
00:32:01Hiya, Piers.
00:32:02Hi.
00:32:03Got a new watchman.
00:32:04Yeah?
00:32:05Yeah, and you won't have to kill him unless you want to.
00:32:07He's deaf and dumb.
00:32:09He'll be dead if he makes any phony moves.
00:32:32There's some watchman, old fella.
00:32:34Constance sure did me a favor and let me dig you out of your grave.
00:32:37Why should I save you?
00:32:39There ain't no society folks around here.
00:32:42Good night.
00:33:01Good night.
00:33:31Hold it, fellas.
00:34:02Meow.
00:34:22All right, men.
00:34:23Back to work.
00:34:24It was just that old white cat.
00:34:27Yes, sir.
00:34:28There they was, big as life, working away in our mine.
00:34:32Were they working on both tunnels?
00:34:34Uh-huh.
00:34:35There was only one.
00:34:37The tunnel on the right as you faced them?
00:34:40Yeah.
00:34:41How'd you know?
00:34:42Of course, that's the one we don't work.
00:34:44I believe there's something fishy about this.
00:34:47My guess is that there's a tunnel leads from the Delma Care mine and connects with ours.
00:34:51And that Slade's in with Frazier.
00:34:53Are we rounding them up tonight?
00:34:55No, not till we find out who gutted any.
00:34:57Oh.
00:34:58You better get back to mine now before they miss you.
00:35:01Blow the light out, will you?
00:35:28Hey, Slade.
00:35:33Take a couple of men out to mount the tunnel.
00:35:35Better put some new timber up out there.
00:35:37Looks kind of weak.
00:35:38Looks all right to me.
00:35:40Maybe it does, but I want to make sure.
00:35:43All right.
00:35:44As you say.
00:35:45All right.
00:35:46All right.
00:35:47All right.
00:35:48All right.
00:35:49All right.
00:35:50All right.
00:35:51All right.
00:35:52All right.
00:35:53All right.
00:35:54All right.
00:35:55All right.
00:35:56As you say.
00:35:57Boss?
00:35:58Williams?
00:35:59Come on with me.
00:36:26Come on.
00:36:27Come on.
00:36:28Come on.
00:36:29Come on.
00:36:30Come on.
00:36:31Come on.
00:36:32Come on.
00:36:33Come on.
00:36:34Come on.
00:36:35Come on.
00:36:36Come on.
00:36:37Come on.
00:36:38Come on.
00:36:39Come on.
00:36:40Come on.
00:36:41Come on.
00:36:42Come on.
00:36:43Come on.
00:36:44Come on.
00:36:45Come on.
00:36:46Come on.
00:36:47Come on.
00:36:48Come on.
00:36:49Come on.
00:36:50Come on.
00:36:51Come on.
00:36:52Come on.
00:36:53Come on.
00:36:54Come on.
00:36:55Come on.
00:37:21What are you trying to do?
00:37:22Sure if I'll answer that question.
00:37:24Well, I ain't talking.
00:37:33Well, what's the meaning of this?
00:37:35It means there's no more mystery about the freeze-out mine.
00:37:41Our neighbor here lets himself in through the side door there.
00:37:45Helps himself to our gold and...
00:37:48kills anybody that happens to get in his way.
00:37:51Nice work, Cassidy.
00:37:53Well, take your prisoner down to the assay office and explain things to Perkins.
00:37:57If the gold from the Devil May Care matches the gold in the vein we lost,
00:38:00we'll trap the whole outfit.
00:38:03Thanks for the idea, Slade.
00:38:05Hey, you! Get up!
00:38:08Walk between us and watch your step.
00:38:10Don't make any phony moves.
00:38:15Mr. Cassidy wants to know if the ore they're shipping from the Devil May Care mine
00:38:19matches this piece we took out of the freeze-out when we first hit that rich vein.
00:38:24I'll take a note. Those two rocks are from the same place.
00:38:27And you'll testify that the Devil May Care gold is out of the freeze-out mine?
00:38:31Positively.
00:38:32Good. Now we can...
00:38:34Just a minute.
00:38:35I'd like to have that statement in writing.
00:38:38Oh, you can trust me, Cassidy.
00:38:40But I don't blame you for taking no chances.
00:38:42Oh, I trust you, all right.
00:38:44Just that I like to see things on paper.
00:38:47There'd be less lying if there were more men like you.
00:38:51What are you gonna do with him?
00:38:53Figure on turning him over to the sheriff for safekeeping.
00:38:56Then we round up the others.
00:38:58You got any better ideas?
00:39:00If you do that, we're as liable to get out.
00:39:04Whatever.
00:39:05Well, if the men who've been high-grading your gold find out that you're onto them,
00:39:09they'll stay away from the freeze-out.
00:39:11And you'll never catch them.
00:39:13I never thought of that.
00:39:16What do you suggest?
00:39:17We ought to hide him someplace he can't do any talking
00:39:19till we round up the rest of the gang.
00:39:21Do you know of a place?
00:39:23There's a deserted prospector's shack out in Sandstone Gulch.
00:39:25We could hold him there.
00:39:27That sounds all right to me.
00:39:29Here's your statement, Mr. Cassidy.
00:39:31I'll take this little piece of paper.
00:39:33Come on, let's go back to the mine. I want to get my horse.
00:39:43Stand still, you jughead.
00:39:46Say, Slade, how much of a ride is it out to that deserted shack in Sandstone Gulch?
00:39:51About half an hour.
00:39:53That's fine. I got to be back here within the hour.
00:39:56We ought to make it easy on that time if we don't have any more trouble.
00:40:00Come on.
00:40:17Come on.
00:40:36Get inside.
00:40:44Sit down.
00:40:47Now, if you was to talk,
00:40:49we might get a court to go a little easier on you
00:40:51for turning the state's evidence.
00:40:53Evidence against who?
00:40:55He knows who I'm talking about.
00:40:57The boss.
00:40:59The one that planned this whole thing.
00:41:04I got a pretty good idea who he is, too.
00:41:07But have it your own way.
00:41:09I'm just trying to save all of us a little trouble.
00:41:11Better tie him up, Cassidy.
00:41:13We wouldn't want him to get back to town.
00:41:15We wouldn't want him to get back to town in time to warn the others.
00:41:19I'm going to let you tie him up, Slade.
00:41:21What do you mean?
00:41:23Unless I'm mighty mistaken, you're in this as deep as anyone.
00:41:28Drop it, Cassidy. You're covered.
00:41:35I had an idea I might be needed,
00:41:37but Perkins told me what was up.
00:41:40Here, tie him up.
00:41:45Come on.
00:42:08Give me that gun and I'll finish him.
00:42:10No, if he was found with lead in, his friends wouldn't rest
00:42:12until they tracked us down.
00:42:15Here's a much better way.
00:42:45Come on.
00:43:15There!
00:43:45Hoppy!
00:43:48Hoppy!
00:44:03We'll get him for this, Hoppy.
00:44:05We'll get that dirty Polecat.
00:44:08Hoppy!
00:44:12Come on.
00:44:15Come on.
00:44:17Are you all right, Hoppy?
00:44:19Yeah, outside of being singed.
00:44:25We got here just in time, partner.
00:44:27Oh, why do you take those darn fool chances?
00:44:30Well, it was worth it, wasn't it?
00:44:32We found out who the whole gang is.
00:44:34You did?
00:44:36Yeah.
00:44:37Well, what's the next move?
00:44:39From now on, it's going to be easy.
00:44:41See that Buck and the boys are ready tonight.
00:44:44What's the signal?
00:44:46Well, light your pipe.
00:44:48The match will be a signal.
00:44:54Well, I guess they got my horse.
00:44:56Have Lucky come by here and pick me up.
00:44:58I got to play dead here till sundown.
00:45:00I'll meet you at the shindig.
00:45:02There ain't going to be no party.
00:45:14Where you been?
00:45:16Speak up, young fella.
00:45:18Where you been?
00:45:20Oh, I didn't find anything.
00:45:22I said, where, where you been?
00:45:24Where?
00:45:26Yes.
00:45:28Yes, what?
00:45:30Yes, where you been?
00:45:32Where you been?
00:45:34Where you been?
00:45:36Where?
00:45:38I can't hear you.
00:45:40Where you been?
00:45:42Yes, where have you been? That's what I asked you.
00:45:45Somebody passed me.
00:45:47Oh, get back to the mine where you belong.
00:45:49Huh?
00:45:50Get back to the mine and stay there!
00:45:52Oh, well, why didn't you say so in Berkeley?
00:45:56Goodbye, Mr. Slade. Get up there.
00:46:01Coming into town and running to Slade.
00:46:03You know, I got an idea he's suspicious of me.
00:46:05But everything's all set for tonight.
00:46:07I'm supposed to ride out now and tell Buck Peters.
00:46:10But I'm scared I'm being watched.
00:46:12I'll go, Wendy. I want to do something to help.
00:46:14I don't like the idea.
00:46:16If anything ever happened to you, Hoppy'd never forgive me.
00:46:19Why, I wouldn't even forgive myself.
00:46:21I've got to take the same chances as everyone else.
00:46:23Well, all right.
00:46:26Tell Lucky to pick up Hoppy in Sandstone Gulch.
00:46:29And remember the signal.
00:46:31They're supposed to close in on the mine when I light my pipe.
00:46:34And mind you, come right back.
00:46:36One, pick up Hoppy.
00:46:38Pick up Hoppy.
00:46:39Two, the signal's when you light your pipe.
00:46:41Light your pipe.
00:46:42And three...
00:46:43Come right back.
00:46:44Come right back.
00:46:45You better hurry back to the mine before they miss you.
00:46:47I'll start for the ranch right away.
00:47:05So that's the way the land lies, eh?
00:47:08Well, you can tell Hoppy that we'll be there, ready to back him up.
00:47:12Thanks, Mr. Peters.
00:47:13It's fine of you to help.
00:47:15If there's any thanks due, you give them to Cassidy.
00:47:19He's the one who talked me into this.
00:47:22Well, make yourself comfortable.
00:47:24I'll go get a horse for Hoppy.
00:47:32Boys, get saddles on your horses.
00:47:38What's up, Mr. Peters?
00:47:40Well, Hoppy's all set to start moving in tonight.
00:47:43Oh, then we're riding.
00:47:45Yeah, we'll cut over north of the Devil May Care mine.
00:47:48Well, there we can see Wendy's signal that all's clear.
00:47:51Then we close in.
00:47:53What's the signal?
00:47:54Wendy will light his pipe.
00:47:57But I think maybe you better stay here and look out for your guest.
00:48:01And miss all that fun?
00:48:03I should say not.
00:48:04Say, I owe a couple of them miners a black eye, and I aim to pay them back.
00:48:07I reckon I'll find a way to keep them here until we get back.
00:48:10Come on.
00:48:11Fred, saddle my horse.
00:48:20Well, here you are.
00:48:22You can tell Hoppy that we'll meet him just north of the Devil May Care mine.
00:48:26Thanks, Mr. Peters.
00:48:28Someday I'll try to tell you how really grateful I am.
00:48:31Just having you smile at me that way...
00:48:35His thanks are plenty.
00:48:42There you are.
00:48:44Goodbye.
00:48:45So long.
00:48:55What's your idea, Lucky?
00:48:57I'm going along.
00:48:59What about Martin?
00:49:01Oh, he'll keep until we get back.
00:49:03Hey, let me out of here!
00:49:04Don't go off and leave me like this!
00:49:07Hey!
00:49:09Let me out of here, will you?
00:49:11I suppose he gets out of there.
00:49:13Well, he won't go very far without any clothes on.
00:49:17All ready, men?
00:49:19Yep, we're all set.
00:49:20All ready, boss.
00:49:25All right, let's go.
00:49:27Let me out of here!
00:49:29Don't go off and leave me like this!
00:49:31Beware!
00:50:01Beware!
00:50:28Ann, what are you doing here?
00:50:29I brought your horse, but I see you have yours.
00:50:32Yeah, he came back as soon as they turned him loose.
00:50:34Buck and the boys are waiting for you, just north of the Devil May Care Mines.
00:50:38That's fine, Ann, but you shouldn't have come out here.
00:50:41Well, I had to do something.
00:50:44I couldn't just sit by.
00:50:46Sometimes it's better to play safe.
00:50:48But I feel it's up to me to see that the men who killed Denny are punished.
00:50:54That'll probably be done before morning, Ann.
00:50:56Hoppy, don't let anything happen to you.
00:51:01Don't worry, nothing's gonna happen.
00:51:03If everything works out right, you'll be heading east before long.
00:51:06Someday.
00:51:07I hope I can do something to show my appreciation for all you've done for me.
00:51:12Forget it.
00:51:13I'll see you later.
00:51:14Good luck.
00:51:15Thanks.
00:51:26Al, you stay here.
00:51:37When you get the signal from Frosty, relay it back to Red.
00:51:40We're all ready, Cassidy.
00:51:51Lucky's getting set for windy signal.
00:51:56Good.
00:51:58Mighty why do you need to be here, Buck?
00:52:01They couldn't keep me away.
00:52:09Well, he's on the job, all right.
00:52:12Now, keep your eyes peeled on him.
00:52:14When he lights his pipe, give the signal.
00:52:16I got you, Hoppy.
00:52:25Everything's all set, Hoppy.
00:52:26Good.
00:52:27Brought this along in case you might need it.
00:52:29Probably will.
00:52:33There they go.
00:52:39They got the freeze-out spy today.
00:52:41I can guess what happened to him.
00:52:50We ought to be getting that signal soon.
00:52:52Who's on the lookout?
00:52:53Frosty and Al.
00:52:54I hope Windy's on the job.
00:52:57How gambly he is.
00:53:04Evening, Mr. Sage.
00:53:05Been inspecting again?
00:53:06What do you think I've been doing?
00:53:08Huh?
00:53:09Someday you're going to hire me once too often.
00:53:12Yeah, I believe you're right about that.
00:53:14Mm-hmm.
00:53:44I wonder if something's wrong.
00:53:46If we don't get the signal in 10 minutes, let's charge anyway.
00:53:48No, we'll handle a run right into a trap.
00:53:57What are you trying to do?
00:53:59My pipe.
00:54:00I ain't got no mattress.
00:54:01Yeah, see if these will work, you mattress-faced old jackrabbit.
00:54:05Thank you very much, Mr. Sage.
00:54:07You're very welcome.
00:54:26You fellas get all set, and I'll give you a whistle.
00:54:55All right.
00:55:16Buck, you and two other men come with me.
00:55:43Lucky, you and the rest of the boys stay here and guard the entrance to the mine until we get back.
00:55:47Peace, Jim.
00:55:48Come on.
00:55:52Well, with Cassidy out of the way, we ought to have clear sailing from now on.
00:55:56Yep.
00:55:57Here's to success.
00:55:59Maybe I should let you two finish them drinks.
00:56:02Probably the last ones you'll have for a long time.
00:56:11Put your hands on the table and keep them there.
00:56:14All right, Buck, keep them here until we finish this round up.
00:56:24Everything all right?
00:56:25No trouble yet.
00:56:26Fred, you stay right where you are.
00:56:28Lucky, you and the rest of the boys come with me.
00:56:58Anywhere found out, let's get out of here.
00:57:27You fellas get out to the surface.
00:57:29Me and Evans will hold them until they get clear.
00:57:50You boys stay here and draw their fire.
00:57:51Come on, Buck.
00:58:20Back to your holes, you gophers.
00:58:35Stay out of this, Lucky.
00:58:36This one's mine.
00:58:43Hey, Lucky, you and Wendy take the prisoners into town.
00:58:45I'll meet you there.
00:58:57I'm dying for a smoke, Peters.
00:58:59I haven't had one all night.
00:59:01You mind if I light a cigar?
00:59:03Well, I guess it's all right.
00:59:33What happened?
00:59:48Fraser got away.
00:59:49Which way did he go?
00:59:50Went that-a-way.
00:59:51Wait a minute, Cassidy, I'm riding with him.
00:59:52No, you're not, this is a personal matter.
01:00:21I've got to get out of here.

01:03:05You need a rest Anne.
01:03:07Go ahead now and have a good time and don't be worrying about the mine.

01:03:27But I don't want to be rich.
01:03:29Unless I can share it with someone.
01:03:31Well, the men of the mine are not complaining
01:03:32about the way you're sharing your profits with them.
01:03:34You know very well what I'm trying to say, don't you?
01:03:38Oh, I know, Ann, but I...
01:03:39Then if you don't come east to say it,
01:03:41I suppose I've got to come back here.
01:03:45You're darned tootin'.
