00:00:00And the land of the sky blue and gray,
00:00:17I brought a cloud to cry.
00:00:27And her eyes, they are lit with lightning.
00:00:35Her heart is not afraid.
00:00:44But I sing to her loud, that day,
00:01:02I woo her with my flute.
00:01:10She sings to the sky blue and gray,
00:01:21Look up to the night in New York.
00:01:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:02:09Oh, Mr. Ranger. I beg your pardon. Are you sure this is the bus for Old Faithful? Yes, ma'am. You see, I've never been in Yellowstone Park before. I've been in Yosemite, Zion, Bryce, and Glacier. I'm going to be here two whole weeks. Really? I'm studying the flora and the fauna. We ain't got no geysers by those names. Flowers and animals. Well, she didn't say flowers and animals. Perhaps you could help me find the right location.
00:02:38Maps, illustrations, and directions, page 26. Perhaps you could take care of me. Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am, but I ain't got a mule to take care of. Name and address, please. Ruth Foster, Chicago. How long do you intend staying? Just a few days. That's too bad. Where will you be staying? At Old Faithful Inn.
00:03:06Rule 16, page 1. Rangers are to assist visitors in every manner possible. How nice. Oh, I'm a stickler for rules. Just call the ranger station any time. Ask for Dick Sherwood. Thank you. Not at all. It's a pleasure.
00:03:20There's one reason why I want to be a ranger. Pretty nice, isn't she? Oh, gee, it's girls like her that just makes a fella feel woozy all over. You know, like you feel when you just come out of chloroform? I ought to know someone like her. You know, what I need is a badge. Never mind, payday. I'm being transferred to Old Faithful. Stick around and I'll treat you to an introduction.
00:03:49Oh, brother, I'll be right on your tail. You know, Gertrude, someday I'll get my badge and then they'll be mighty proud of us.
00:03:58Sorry, Miss Foster, but you're breaking one of our most stringent rules. I'm sorry, I didn't know. Really, I didn't know. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Am I under arrest? Well, that depends upon your future conduct. Allow me.
00:04:29But I thought you said it was against the law. We believe in giving promising young botanists every opportunity. But I'm not a botanist. Our service is unlimited. You are now a graduate botanist with full honors. It's not a very difficult course, is it? Maybe there's something else I can do for you. You might give me a fishing diploma.
00:04:55Oh, now that is a more difficult course. It demands company. I'm sure Father would be delighted. Your father? Where have you been hiding him? When you checked in yesterday, you were alone. That's right. Father gets in on Friday. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean, you give me his description and I'll fix him up. That's not as easy as it seems. Why, it's a cinch.
00:05:17Now, let me see. I should say he was a tall, handsome, distinguished-looking gentleman. The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. That's the way I picture him. Picture him? I know it sounds strange, but I haven't seen my father in 18 years. Oh. Dad's been sort of a galloping gambit. Here, there, and the other places. For the past few years, he's been in Australia on some sort of a mining proposition. I see. And Mother?
00:05:45Mother died five years ago. I'm sorry. By the way, Miss Foster, I have a couple of free hours in the morning. How would you like to ride over and see Yellowstone Falls? Oh, my life. I'd love to, if you promise to get me back in town to meet Father. Then it's a date? It's a date.
00:06:16You know, meeting one's father for the first time, especially at my age, is rather terrifying. I don't know what to do or say. Well, you'll have an even break. You'll both be up against the same thing. Yes, that's why I must meet him alone. We'll have to get acquainted before he comes home to Chicago. Great invention, this getting acquainted. Suppose we try it out afternoon. A lot of afternoon. In fact, every afternoon.
00:06:42To what do you attribute your breathtaking speed, Mr. Sherwood? To the age we live in, Miss Foster. Speed, speed, speed. Aren't you forgetting it's my father I'm supposed to get acquainted with? Well, in that case, let's make it a threesome and we'll all get acquainted together. But I thought it was your job to acquaint people with the park.
00:06:58Hello, Weezer. Oh. What's the matter? Having a little trouble? You haven't got a step ladder handy, have you? No, but I'm a darn good booster. Oh, right you are. I'm really at my best after sundown. Really? It's then we have the campfire. Quite a sight. You should let me take you. I'd love to see it, but that really depends on Father. He arrives at three.
00:07:58Hello, Mr. Ross. Welcome back to Yellowstone. How are you? Fit as they come. It's good to see you still on the job. You have a pleasant winter? Yes, thank you, sir. Now, as a matter of information, is the park already loaded with naturists or have I a clear field? It's all yours, Mr. Ross. As usual, you're the first to arrive. Oh, that's fine. Well, I'll see you around. Young man, follow me. I'll show you the way. Yes, sir.
00:08:29Good afternoon, sir. Have you a reservation? No, I haven't. A cabin, please. Something quiet, away from the inn. Yes, sir. Oh, I beg your pardon, Mr. Forster. Your daughter made a reservation.
00:08:55My daughter? You mean she's here? Yes, Mr. Forster arrived several days ago. I see. Show Mr. Forster to cabin C-17. Yes, sir. Thank you. You'd better leave the luggage until I've seen the accommodations. Right this way, sir.
00:09:25Looking for anybody in particular, sir? No, just wondering if there was anyone here I knew. Say, how about fixing me up with a single in the shower? Yes, sir.
00:09:56Come in.
00:10:04Father? Yes.
00:10:08Well, you have grown up, haven't you? Well, it's been 18 years. Yes, yes, that's right. Now that you're here, I... Please say you're not sorry. When you wrote you were stopping here for a few days, I... Well, I couldn't wait any longer. You are glad to see me, aren't you? Of course, my dear, of course.
00:10:36Seems so ridiculous, doesn't it? You're my father, and yet we stand here like two absolute strangers. It's all so new to us. We've got to get used to each other.
00:10:48Father. Oh, my dear. We've missed so much of each other, but we'll make up for it, you and I. Days and days all to ourselves, Father, with nobody to bother. Of course, of course.
00:11:19Take it easy, Marty. You don't have to do that, do you? What's he look like? What's he look like? How would you expect him to look after all these years of it? Are you sure it's him? Sure, I'm sure, which means plenty sure.
00:11:34Well. Here you are, away from everything but the roar of old faithful. It's fine. Oh, you're going to love this room. In the sun will it simply haunt the place. And how about the comfortable bed?
00:11:54Well, what's all this? I didn't know just what your pet vice is with thee, Father. I think you've covered about all of them. Thanks, my dear. Now you come over here and sit down.
00:12:07Just let me look at you. I want to talk to you. I bet I'm the silliest person you ever met. Oh, is that the effect I have?
00:12:33Oh, Father, I feel like shouting to the whole world that after eighteen years I've found you. And for keeps. For the rest of our lives, dear. A week from Tuesday we sail for Europe. Oh. One place after another as long as you want to stay. Years, if you like. Oh, years. We'll have a grand time. Now that you've made your money, I want you to have every chance to enjoy it.
00:13:04What's the matter, Father? You know, I was just wondering if I hadn't better tell you some of my really bad habits. Do you have those too? Oh. Oh, well, they couldn't be any worse than mine. Honest to goodness, I have the most awful habits. I sing in the bathtub and... Do you sing in the bathtub, Father?
00:13:21What's the matter? It's my nerves, I guess. Seeing things. Things? I thought I recognized a man who's been dead for years. Oh, well, maybe it's the suddenness of everything that makes you feel so nervous. Yes. Yes, maybe that's it.
00:13:52I guess... I guess I'm a little tired from the trip. I need to relax. You know, I was hoping a few days fishing would straighten me out. Fishing? Oh, I adore fishing. I'll go with you. No, my dear, not where I'm going. It's too rough. Oh, but I don't mind. Yes, but there are no cabins. It's practically wilderness.
00:14:14All right, but you'll be sorry. You know, I've acquired a bow since I arrived. Oh, a bow. Well, he's a lucky fellow. He's one of the rangers. You mean a government ranger? Uh-huh. You know, he's an exceptional young man. He's passed all of his examinations. And when the court season closes, he's going to Washington. He's going to be in the Department of Justice. What do you think of that?
00:14:44I see. He's really a grand person. I think you'll like him. Maybe we'll meet him in the dining room at dinner.
00:14:51Sugar? Father? Sugar? Oh, I'm sorry, dear. Yes, thanks. Everything satisfactory? Yes, thank you. Don't forget our campfire entertainment this evening. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Thank you.
00:15:21Ruth, I don't believe I'll go on my fishing trip tonight after all. Why, Father. Good evening. Everything satisfactory? Oh, yes, thanks. Oh, hostess, that gentleman over there with the very attractive young lady, it seems to me I've met him someplace or other. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to introduce me.
00:15:49Why, of course, Mr... Ryan. Ryan, I'd be very glad to. Fine-looking gentleman, your father. I think so. You here for the summer? No, just a few days fishing before we sail for Europe. Nice time of year for Europe. Leaving soon? Uh-huh, in a few days.
00:16:18Hello, neighbor. Our hostess here informs me that you're from Australia. Mighty interesting country down there. I've always wanted to hear more of it. Hardigan, my name. John Alexander Hardigan. New York and why? Well, not in why exactly. I mean, that's silly, but you do... How do you do? How do you do, Mr... Foster's the name. Oh, yes, Foster. Would you have a cigar?
00:16:47No, no thanks. If you don't mind, I'll smoke one of my own. Well, now, suppose I do mind. Oh, come on, have one with me. Now, there you are, cleaned out like a cavity. Little Johnny Hardigan went through his pockets to get his friend a cigar, and when he got there, the pocket was bare, and he didn't even have any cigarettes. Cigar? Cigarette? Miss? Miss? Cigar? Cigarette, sir? Yes, thank you. Going to be here for a while, Mr. Foster? Oh, just a few days fishing, that's all. Fishing? Why, you're the man I've been looking for. Say, if it's just the same to you, I'd like to tag along.
00:17:17And we'll try our luck together, huh? You may keep that change. Thank you, sir. That's all right. When I get service, I pay for it. May I have a light? Thank you, sir.
00:17:31Mr. Foster, I've just suggested to your daughter that we all go out to the campfire. Oh, thank you very much. Mr. Hardigan. How do you think about it, father? Would you like to go?
00:17:42Well, if you don't mind, I think I'll go back to my cabin. I'm pretty tired. Oh, of course you are, darling. I'll go with you. No, no, you run along, dear. After all, I've been traveling all day. I don't want to spoil your evening for you. Well, you sure you won't mind? Not a bit. You go and have a good time.
00:17:57Oh, here's your coat, dear. I'm sorry you won't join us. We won't be late. Oh, good night, sir. If you'll excuse me. Oh, Mr. Foster, you won't forget our little fishing trip. I'm not much of a fisherman, but it will be a great pleasure.
00:18:20Well, hello there, if it isn't my boy scout. Hello there yourself. You haven't forgotten our campfire date, have you? Well, to tell you the truth, I had completely. Well, in that case, you're under arrest. I demand a lawyer. Oh, pardon me, Mr. Ryan, Mr. Sherwood. How do you do? How do you do? Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but it seems I promised to do the campfire with Mr. Sherwood. Well, that's quite all right, Miss Foster. Perhaps we can make it tomorrow night. Perhaps. Good night. Good night. Good night.
00:18:50You know, it just hit me that I hadn't gotten around to telling you how darn beautiful you are. Well, I didn't know that you were supposed to. Does the ruby mean anything to you? Oh, it means a lot to me. It means a lot to me.
00:19:19Does the rule book call for the rangers to compliment the visitor? One of the most important rules. Well, you can go into that particular room when there's more company. Now, folks, you may not believe the story, but it's the truth. Yes, sir. Isn't that the man who tells those hair-raising tales? He? No, I don't have to listen to that, do I?
00:19:47Well, Miss Foster, it seems that you're in luck. On page five, it says... Well, laugh yourself sick for just the same when you talk of Yellowstone, you're talking of a spot that I can tell you quite a few things about. That's the stuff, Pete. Now, if I had my rangers badge, I wouldn't let them laugh you down.
00:20:05And I don't suppose that you'd believe none other that more than twenty years ago, this park was a stamping ground for a gang of bank robbers, tougher and smarter than these pretty boy, baby-faced gangs you hear tell on these days. Why, shucks alive, Tracy Jenkins and his men could come roaring into town, shoot out all the lamps, rob the bank, and be gone before the post could even find a candle. Say, Pete, do you think the money Tracy Jenkins got away with is still buried in the park?
00:20:32Yes, sir, that bank money's still here. But what find on Jenkins' body when they caught him, or on that Anderson fellow when they got him? And Baldy Jack is the only other one... Oh, Baldy Jack didn't get none of it. When they caught up with him, he was robbing grocery stores. And you can bet that Jack ain't gonna come snooping around here, not with Pete on the lookout.
00:20:52Oh, siree, when a mountain man's eyes see someone or something, he never forgets it. And that's the truth.
00:21:22I hope I didn't startle you, Mr. Foster. Not at all. You see, your daughter passed me up for a ranger, so I thought I'd drop over and have a little chat. Well, sit down, won't you? Hi. Great country up here, isn't it?
00:21:44Oh, yes. Yes, indeed. So fresh and open-minded. You don't have to look at me like that, Anderson. I'll tell you who I am. I'm Tracy Jenkins' son. Yes, I can see it now. Your father's mouth. Come on, spit it out, Anderson, what are you playing?
00:22:08Stop calling me Anderson! I finished with that alias when I walked out of San Quentin. Foster's the real name. Don't want me to be calling you Jenkins, do you? Forget my name, and my father's too. But don't forget I'm here to collect his share. So sit down and talk to me. What are you playing? You're in them, Ryan, just as I promised Dynamite you would be.
00:22:37You didn't say anything to my daughter about this. Come on, come on, let's get down to business. Now, when Dynamite contacted you at San Quentin, he told you what I'd expect, didn't he? He told you as soon as they sprung you, I'd expect to play ball on a 50-50 deal, didn't he? That's right. You know it's right. And that's why I'm here, Foster, standing right over the plate, waiting for you to pitch. Where'd you hide that money?
00:23:01Well, it'll be safe until Judgment Day, which happens to be right here and now. So come on and talk to me, Foster. What are your plans? Don't ask me that again. You know what my plans are. 50-50 split, only we've got to go slow. After waiting 18 years, I'm taking no chances.
00:23:21Neither am I. I've waited 18 years too. Yes, but the best years of my life, that's what I pay for my share. 18 years in the dude mill. 18 years burning my eyes out, reading, trying to make myself the kind of a father my daughter could be proud of. Well, I'm making no move now that will cheat me out of it. I won't be cheated either. Dynamite will take care of that. Now listen, Foster, I'll give you till tomorrow to crack through. Tomorrow?
00:23:48But it isn't safe. It's suicide. Ever been through a morgue, Foster? You ought to try it sometime. There's nothing like a morgue to help keep a fella's mind, bridle.
00:24:19Just a headlong, spurs on my heels, jingling a song.
00:24:33Just broom tail and me, riding the rain, I widen free. Old faithful spouting to the western sky. He's in his glory now and so am I.
00:25:03Just a headlong, spurs on my heels, jingling a song. Jingling a song.
00:25:33Just broom tail and me, riding the rain, I widen free. Old faithful spouting to the western sky. He's in his glory now and so am I.
00:26:03Just broom tail and me, riding the rain, I widen free. Old faithful spouting to the western sky. He's in his glory now and so am I.
00:26:33Just broom tail and me, riding the rain, I widen free. Old faithful spouting to the western sky. He's in his glory now and so am I.
00:27:03Father will be worried. I should have been back ages ago.
00:27:05All right, just a minute. We have a rule about fathers on page 28.
00:27:09You can read that to me in the morning about ten. Good night.
00:27:12I get up at seven.
00:27:13Rain, you stay away from my door. Good night.
00:27:16Good night.
00:27:33The thing is, friend, that I don't like to see you going into Jackson Hole without a guide. The trail this early season is very bad.
00:27:55If I wanted a guide, I'd hire one.
00:27:57All right, Mr. Foster, suit yourself, but it's very dangerous.
00:28:01Good evening, Mr. Foster.
00:28:02Oh, good evening. I've been wanting to meet you, your daughter and I.
00:28:06Oh, yes, yes, I see. Sherwood's the name. Surely she's mentioned me. We missed you at the campfire.
00:28:12Well, campfire parties aren't exactly in my line. Anyway, I wanted to get an early start. Thought I'd try my luck around Jackson Hole.
00:28:18Pretty dangerous spot right now. Pete, where's his guide?
00:28:22Well, I spoke to Mr. Foster.
00:28:23I never hire guides, young man. I can't be bothered with them.
00:28:25It isn't a question of being bothered, Mr. Foster. Chief Ranger Adele has issued orders that for the next few days, nobody is to pack into Jackson Hole without a guide.
00:28:31Well, this might be a good time for me to wish one order or two. For the next few days, I just assume you'll leave my daughter to herself.
00:28:36I'm sorry, Mr. Foster, but it's my job to enforce the law.
00:28:39Get off that horse. Let go. Get off.
00:28:41Mr. Foster, I...
00:28:46Hey, why didn't you punch him in the nose?
00:28:48Because he happens to be the father of somebody I like.
00:28:51Well, I wouldn't let a little thing like that bother me.
00:28:53No sirree. I'd enjoy a right good scrap now.
00:28:57I hope he breaks his neck.
00:28:59You know, that reminds me of the time that I was in the cavalry.
00:29:02And the general says to me, he says, well, it's the truth.
00:29:11I am worried, Mr. Riddell. Terribly worried. Father said he'd be back by lunch.
00:29:14But I'm sure your father's perfectly safe, Miss Foster.
00:29:17However, if he doesn't show up soon, I'll put some of the boys on his trail.
00:29:20Oh, thank you. I would appreciate it. Goodbye.
00:29:23Good day, Miss Foster.
00:29:42Why aren't you at the post I sent you to this morning?
00:29:44But Chief, I figured that...
00:29:45That happens to be my job, Sherwood.
00:29:46Yes, sir. I know, sir, but...
00:29:47You just can't seem to take orders, huh?
00:29:49Listen, Chief, the dead geyser of Old Bess is going to break loose.
00:29:52Don't hand me that, Sherwood. Old Bess hasn't erupted in over 27 years.
00:29:56George, tell Chief Riddell about Old Bess.
00:29:58The full moon is high tonight. Old Bess erased the devil himself.
00:30:02Two days now. Old Bess make big noise in the ground.
00:30:05If what George says is true, this is the biggest news that's broken since...
00:30:09Get busy. Spread the news all over the place.
00:30:11Yes, sir.
00:30:12George, if you're not dead certain about this...
00:30:14First always tell Indians the truth.
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:17I just heard it. Go ahead. Spread it.
00:30:20Say, listen, Kendrick. Old Bess is going to town tonight.
00:30:22What?
00:30:23Yeah, any minute now. Pass the word along.
00:30:26Hello. Mammon. Chief Ranger Riddell.
00:30:29Old Bess is expected to erupt tonight. Anytime.
00:30:32Hold your breath, lady. Old Bess is going to erupt tonight.
00:30:35No.
00:30:36Make her tell. Old Bess is going to erupt tonight.
00:30:38Old Bess is going to erupt tonight.
00:30:39Jack and Mark. Old Bess is going to erupt tonight.
00:30:41Old Bess is going to erupt tonight.
00:30:42What do you think? Old Bess is finally coming through.
00:30:44Say, this will put the park right on the front page, won't it?
00:30:46It hasn't erupted since 1909.
00:30:48That's the best piece of news I've heard since Tracy Jenkins bit the dust.
00:30:52Yes, sir, it is.
00:30:53Listen, folks. At last you're going to see Old Bess do some real fancy whirling.
00:30:57Come on.
00:31:07Oh, come on, Gertrude. Shift into high, won't you?
00:31:10Pete, ain't you got any influence over this here animal?
00:31:15Miss Foster. Hello there. I've got some news for you.
00:31:18Is it about Barbara?
00:31:19No, Old Bess. One of our guys.
00:31:20She's been down with a sleeping sickness since 1909 and is about to wake up.
00:31:23Come on. I want you to come and see her.
00:31:25I'd like to, but I think I'd better stay here.
00:31:27No arguments now. This will be something to tell your children about.
00:31:29Come on, won't you please?
00:31:30I'd rather not. I'm nearly terribly worried.
00:31:32Grab your hat and coat. We won't be going long and I'll bring you right back.
00:31:35All right.
00:31:36Hurry up now. Don't be long.
00:31:41Oh, come on, Gertrude.
00:31:43Believe me, when I get my badge, you'll move faster than this.
00:31:46Pete, build a fire under her.
00:31:48Not here. We're saving that for the hill.
00:32:11Now, please, folks. Please, you can't stand any closer.
00:32:14That's boiling water, so please pull back.
00:32:17Hey, Sherwood, come here.
00:32:19Excuse me. I'll hustle back. You stay here.
00:32:28Say, you know, baby, I don't like this.
00:32:30When an old gal has been tired for 27 years,
00:32:33no telling what she'll do when she pops off.
00:32:36They tell me the last time she exploded that she went so high
00:32:40she drowned a flock of geese flying south.
00:32:44That ain't the truth, and you know it.
00:33:06Oh, my God.
00:33:30Oh, my God, look. A man.
00:33:32And the Kaiser.
00:33:36Oh, my God.
00:33:48Chief, it's Foster.
00:33:49What?
00:33:50Foster. Foster.
00:33:53Where's his daughter?
00:34:01Miss Foster.
00:34:02All right, get away, folks.
00:34:04Out of the way, please.
00:34:05All right.
00:34:10Go get Dr. McGregor. Tell him to come immediately.
00:34:13Come on, boys. We'll take him to my headquarters.
00:34:20What do you think, Doctor? Accident?
00:34:22Afraid not.
00:34:24In addition to a gash at the base of the skull,
00:34:26there's a single bullet hole in the spine.
00:34:35Hello, Jim.
00:34:36Reddell.
00:34:37Get this straight.
00:34:38I want every entrance to this park closed immediately.
00:34:41No one is to leave or enter without a personal okay from me.
00:34:43Get it?
00:34:44Hello? New York?
00:34:46Mr. Stewart?
00:34:47Hardigan talking.
00:34:49Say, listen, Mr. Stewart.
00:34:50That fellow Foster, or Anderson, whichever you want to call him,
00:34:53was found dead about a half an hour ago.
00:34:55I'm not interested in his condition.
00:34:57I'm sure the company sent you to Yellowstone
00:34:59to watch him and pick up our stolen money.
00:35:01Can I help it if the man gets caught?
00:35:03Can I help it if the man gets knocked off?
00:35:05Anyway, I'd be glad to stay around here for a couple of days
00:35:07and see what I can pick up.
00:35:09You were hired for a particular job.
00:35:11It seems you failed.
00:35:13You can do as you like.
00:35:14Hello?
00:35:15Mr. Stewart?
00:35:17Hello? Hello?
00:35:23What's staring at me?
00:35:25I tell you, I don't know anything about it.
00:35:30Well, Doctor?
00:35:32The condition of the tissue, the eyes,
00:35:35and particularly the coagulation of the blood
00:35:37indicates that this man did not die from the bullet wound.
00:35:41Not from a bullet wound?
00:35:43Then how?
00:35:44This man was frozen to death.
00:35:50Please, Will.
00:35:52Say something.
00:35:54Anything.
00:35:57Don't you understand? I want to help you.
00:36:00But try, anyway.
00:36:02For 18 years,
00:36:04every hour of them I waited and waited,
00:36:08went across the earth and back again to have been with him.
00:36:12And then for one day I found him.
00:36:15Had a father of my own,
00:36:17just for one day.
00:36:20One day that seemed to make up for the 18 empty years.
00:36:24Then all of a sudden,
00:36:27all of a sudden the world cracked wide open and...
00:36:39Okay, let's have it.
00:36:40Bureau of Investigation answering your call, sir.
00:36:43Hello, Washington.
00:36:44Riddell speaking.
00:36:45Say, I tried to get in touch with you fellas last night.
00:36:49Plenty. A murder in the park.
00:36:51A man found dead under peculiar circumstances.
00:36:54No, we're not sure yet.
00:36:55I've lined up a few suspects,
00:36:57but I think you'd better send me a couple of men.
00:37:00No, no definite clues,
00:37:02but I've got everybody known to have met the man
00:37:04right here ready for questioning.
00:37:05Oh, sit right down.
00:37:10And the biggest fish I ever laid eyes on
00:37:12was one that I throwed my loop over
00:37:14and I jerked the critter down and twisted his tail
00:37:16and he was dead.
00:37:18I threw my loop over and I jerked the critter down
00:37:20and twisted his tail
00:37:21and he throwed me high in the kite
00:37:23and when I lit the boat with bamboos
00:37:25and there was I a foot, a mile from shore
00:37:27and couldn't swim a stroke.
00:37:29Oh, that's true, kid.
00:37:30But how did you get ashore?
00:37:32Well, when I jerked my rope, I loosened his scales
00:37:35and when they come drifting by,
00:37:36I clumb aboard and went ashore.
00:37:39Gee, but what did you use for paddles?
00:37:41Oh, well, rope and hog time, if I didn't forget to tell you.
00:37:44I didn't need no paddles.
00:37:45How was that?
00:37:46From there on in, it was all downhill.
00:37:50Yes, sir, and that's the truth.
00:37:52Excuse me.
00:38:15Pardon me, mister, but will you tell the chief
00:38:18I just got to see him.
00:38:20It's very important.
00:38:23Yes, well, if that's all I've got to do,
00:38:24I'll do it for you later.
00:38:25Much later.
00:38:27Here.
00:38:31Good morning.
00:38:32I see you've got everybody out here now.
00:38:34You'll get right to business.
00:38:36Good morning, Miss Foster.
00:38:37I'm glad you're here.
00:38:39Now then, tell me where you were all day yesterday,
00:38:41exactly, and what you did.
00:38:44Who is this man, Mr. Riddell?
00:38:45What right is he to...
00:38:46I should have told you before.
00:38:47Mr. Hardigan is a private detective
00:38:49and was kind enough to offer his services.
00:38:51In fact, he worked all night on the case
00:38:53with Sherwood and myself.
00:38:54I think you'd better answer his questions.
00:38:57I spent the greater part of the day in my cabin.
00:39:01I must caution you on the importance
00:39:02of telling the truth, Miss Foster,
00:39:04and the simple truth is that you did see your father
00:39:05sometime during the day yesterday, didn't you?
00:39:07No, unfortunately, I did not.
00:39:09And when you saw your father,
00:39:10he gave you a package of money to hide, didn't he?
00:39:12And assuming that he did,
00:39:14what bearing has that got on all of this?
00:39:19Well, I had hoped it would be my task to tell you this.
00:39:23Since it is...
00:39:24Tell me what?
00:39:25I represent you in a good surety company.
00:39:28I've been sent west to recover some 90-odd thousands of dollars
00:39:31that some 18 years ago, your father stole.
00:39:34That's a lie! An abominable lie!
00:39:36How dare you say that!
00:39:39Why, my father hasn't been in this country for years!
00:39:42Please sit down, Miss Foster.
00:39:45First of all, I'm convinced that you know nothing
00:39:47whatever of your father's death,
00:39:48or for that matter, his life, either.
00:39:50It seems that your father was a member
00:39:52of the famous Tracy Jenkins gang,
00:39:54a group responsible for a series of bank robberies
00:39:56back in 1918.
00:39:58I told you that for the past 18 years,
00:40:00my father has been in...
00:40:01In the penitentiary, Miss Foster.
00:40:03It isn't easy to tell you, love,
00:40:05that you've had enough already.
00:40:06But last night, after talking with Mr. Hardigan,
00:40:08I checked on the case.
00:40:10The fact is, your father was released just nine days ago,
00:40:13and just as we expected he would do,
00:40:15he came here to get the money.
00:40:23I'm sorry, I...
00:40:25She's here, Hardigan. We'd better wait a while.
00:40:30Now, now, look here, for the very last time,
00:40:32I beg you to inform them
00:40:33that I can be of invaluable service in this case.
00:40:36When I tell you that a term I've considered
00:40:38quite the criminologist, you'll know what I mean.
00:40:41You know what I mean?
00:40:42Well, maybe you did do it, Nestor,
00:40:44but they won't pay any attention to me.
00:40:50Well, as I was saying,
00:40:51one day when I was meandering on that upper trail,
00:40:53that was in the fall of 1998.
00:40:55My memory don't convince me.
00:40:56Now, we don't care what you did in the last century.
00:40:58What about Foster?
00:40:59Well, I don't slide off the fence, Nestor.
00:41:01I'm a building up to him practically.
00:41:02You don't have to start at your youth.
00:41:03You came to the stables last night, didn't you?
00:41:05Yes, sir, I did.
00:41:06You know, I recollect when they built them stables.
00:41:09That was in the spring of...
00:41:10Never mind the stables.
00:41:11What was Foster's attitude?
00:41:12Attitude?
00:41:13Yes, attitude.
00:41:14What was he like?
00:41:16Well, he seemed kind of cutsy-like.
00:41:18He seemed to be in a terrible hurry.
00:41:20Oh, he was in a hurry, eh?
00:41:21Where was he heading?
00:41:22Say, don't pop your suspender buttons, neighbor.
00:41:24I'm a-getting to that.
00:41:25Now, I told you...
00:41:27You're welcome.
00:41:28He was heading for Jackson Hole.
00:41:30And I said he...
00:41:31See? Foster's horse came back alone.
00:41:32That's right, isn't it?
00:41:34I told you so once.
00:41:36His saddle and blankets were dripping wet.
00:41:38How'd they get wet?
00:41:39That's what we want to know.
00:41:40With water, more than likely.
00:41:43Pete, why do you think this Ross man had to...
00:41:46That's just what I've been trying to tell you.
00:41:48If I could get a word in any ways...
00:41:50Go ahead.
00:41:51But you see, Chief, I think...
00:41:52We don't care what you think.
00:41:54Only what you know.
00:41:56You know anything.
00:41:58Who's telling this story?
00:42:00You or me?
00:42:01Nobody up to now.
00:42:04I can't compete with no darn big...
00:42:06Well, I ain't gonna try.
00:42:07Now sit down, Pete, and tell us about Mr. Ross.
00:42:09He came in with his horse long about some time.
00:42:12And he was dripping wet, too.
00:42:14What makes you so sure?
00:42:15Cause I see.
00:42:16Well, darn it, I know when wet's wet, don't I?
00:42:19And that's the truth.
00:42:24Mind you, I'll come clean, Ross.
00:42:25We've got enough to indict you.
00:42:27Really?
00:42:28Why waste my time on yours, Chief?
00:42:30All I know about Mr. Foster is that he was murdered.
00:42:33Murdered?
00:42:34How do you know he was murdered?
00:42:36Well, what I mean to say is, murdered.
00:42:38Accident.
00:42:39Suicide.
00:42:40I know nothing about it.
00:42:42So if you'll excuse me, I'll...
00:42:44No, no, sit down, Ross.
00:42:45I'll tell you what to do.
00:42:46Now then, how'd you explain that when you got back to this table yesterday,
00:42:49both you and your horse were dripping wet?
00:42:51Well, that's a lie.
00:42:52No, no, you were doing the lying, Ross.
00:42:53They were wet, weren't they?
00:42:54I advise you to tell the truth, Ross.
00:42:55You're under oath.
00:42:56Yeah, what about it?
00:42:57Well, now that I think about it,
00:42:59my clothes might have been slightly wet.
00:43:01You see, I...
00:43:03Well, my horse stumbled crossing the stream near the falls.
00:43:06What falls?
00:43:07Well, I was wrong about that.
00:43:09It was a mile or two below the falls.
00:43:11What falls?
00:43:12Isn't it the fact that you knew that Foster had hidden some money in the park
00:43:14didn't it come back to get it?
00:43:15No, that is not so.
00:43:17I demand that this questioning stop
00:43:19until I am represented by counsel.
00:43:21Very well, Mr. Ross,
00:43:22but you will remain at the inn for further questioning.
00:43:28Come on, Ryan.
00:43:29Answer yes or no.
00:43:30Hey, get easy, wise guy.
00:43:32Mr. Ryan's got a bad heart.
00:43:35Mr. Ryan's got a bad heart.
00:43:37That's why the doctor said I wasn't to let him out of my sight.
00:43:40Mr. Ryan,
00:43:41are you quite sure that was the first time you'd met my father
00:43:44in the dining room that night?
00:43:46Positive, Miss Foster.
00:43:48You're a liar, Ryan.
00:43:49We were in Foster's cabin the night before that.
00:43:51Not unless your saying so makes it a fact.
00:43:54I tell you, I was never in Foster's cabin.
00:43:56Then how do you account for this handkerchief being in our cabin?
00:44:02I couldn't say.
00:44:05It isn't mine.
00:44:09Not again for identity.
00:44:13When were you in Foster's cabin?
00:44:16I was never there.
00:44:21Listen, wise guy,
00:44:22I saw him drop that handkerchief when he was dancing with the lady.
00:44:25Yes, I remember now.
00:44:27I, uh, I missed it right after the dance.
00:44:31And I suppose Miss Foster picked it up
00:44:33and kept it for a souvenir.
00:44:35Wouldn't surprise me if you told us
00:44:37she also planted that gun on your dresser.
00:44:39We're not saying who planted it,
00:44:40but it was there when we checked in.
00:44:42Where was it when Foster was killed?
00:44:44In your hand?
00:44:45Or in his?
00:44:49Take it easy, wise guy.
00:44:51Why don't you look in your own backyard?
00:44:53There he is, looking at you.
00:45:01What are you driving at?
00:45:03Suppose you ask this guy, Payday.
00:45:05He talks louder than I do.
00:45:13Well, I'm a ranger at last.
00:45:15When can I have my badge?
00:45:16Sit down.
00:45:17Now?
00:45:18Now.
00:45:19Here, take my seat, Chief.
00:45:21Oh, no, you keep it.
00:45:22No, it's all yours.
00:45:23You put it right outside.
00:45:24Okay, it's a pleasure.
00:45:26Now, Payday, we understand
00:45:28that you know something about killing.
00:45:30Killing?
00:45:31Who, me?
00:45:32Did you see Foster night before last?
00:45:34Yes, sir, at the stable.
00:45:36Anyone with him?
00:45:37Well, now, let me think.
00:45:39Was there?
00:45:40Well, yes, sir.
00:45:41There was old Pete and Dick here.
00:45:43Did Sherwood and Foster have any words?
00:45:46Well, no.
00:45:47Oh, come on, answer yes or no.
00:45:49Oh, he gets me all bediggled up.
00:45:51Hey, I'm telling you,
00:45:52I'm telling you, I'm telling you.
00:45:54He gets me all bediggled up.
00:45:56Payday, you're a ranger now.
00:45:57You're under oath.
00:45:58Tell the truth.
00:45:59I ain't got my badge yet.
00:46:00Come on, talk.
00:46:02Well, you see,
00:46:04Pete didn't want Foster
00:46:06to shove off without a guide,
00:46:08and Foster got sore,
00:46:10and then, well, Dick got kind of sore, and...
00:46:13Listen, Chief, I can explain this.
00:46:15Go ahead, Payday.
00:46:16They were sore, then what?
00:46:17Any blows?
00:46:18Well, not exactly blows, but...
00:46:20Well, come on, come on, let's have it.
00:46:22Everything you saw or heard.
00:46:23Did you study to be a detective?
00:46:25Have you got a badge like the one I'm gonna get?
00:46:27Yes.
00:46:28Or no.
00:46:29Oh, well, come on, tell me what happened.
00:46:31Oh, well, you see, it...
00:46:33Well, it looked for a while
00:46:35as if somebody was gonna poke somebody,
00:46:37then Foster gave his horse his spurs and got away.
00:46:41Did Sherwood say anything after that?
00:46:43Do I have to tell that, Chief?
00:46:45Go ahead, Payday.
00:46:48Well, he said he wished he'd break his brain next.
00:46:51Well, I can substantiate that.
00:46:52I happened to ride by and heard everything said.
00:46:54I just wanted to see if they'd stick together.
00:46:56There's nothing to it, Chief.
00:46:57I can explain everything.
00:46:58Perhaps you'd better.
00:46:59Oh, Chief, oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:00If I said anything to get you in a jam...
00:47:03You didn't, Payday.
00:47:05Sit down, Dick.
00:47:06Now go ahead.
00:47:08I tried to prevent Mr. Foster
00:47:09from leaving for Jackson Hole without a guide.
00:47:11They were your orders, sir.
00:47:13He resented them and lost his temper.
00:47:15Well, I lost mine, I guess.
00:47:17Did you see Foster after that?
00:47:18No, sir, not until the next day
00:47:19after you had sent me out to patrol that area.
00:47:21I met him about a mile below the fall.
00:47:23Did you see anyone else riding around there?
00:47:25Yes, sir, Mr. Ross.
00:47:26With Foster?
00:47:27No, sir, I didn't meet Ross until later that afternoon.
00:47:29What happened when you did meet Foster?
00:47:31Well, I was following your instructions, sir,
00:47:33and warned him again to keep off the south trail.
00:47:35We had a few words, and the first thing I knew,
00:47:37he whipped out his gun and threatened me.
00:47:39You pulled your gun and shot him down?
00:47:40That's a rotten lie, Hartigan.
00:47:42All I did was take his gun from him.
00:47:44Took it from him?
00:47:47Where's that gun now?
00:47:48It's in my quarters, sir.
00:47:50You know regulations, don't you, Sherwood?
00:47:52Yes, sir.
00:47:53Yet you fought with a man who drew a gun,
00:47:55and you made no report of it.
00:47:56I'm sorry, sir.
00:47:57It didn't seem so important at the time.
00:47:59But Mr. Foster...
00:48:00And I suppose it's of no importance
00:48:01you were the last man to see Foster alive,
00:48:03that he was murdered, shot in the back.
00:48:06Take your hands off me.
00:48:08May I examine this gun?
00:48:10Go ahead.
00:48:17And I suppose it's of no importance
00:48:18there's been one bullet fired from this gun.
00:48:20Chief, you don't believe it.
00:48:21Sherwood, maybe you can explain this empty chamber.
00:48:24Yes, sir, of course I can.
00:48:25Save it, Sherwood.
00:48:26Save it.
00:48:27Your empty chamber speaks for itself.
00:48:30Now, Foster was killed with a bullet from a service gun,
00:48:32wasn't he?
00:48:33Well, there's your service gun.
00:48:36There's your killer.
00:48:37Don't lie, Hartigan.
00:48:38I tell you all I did was take his gun away from him.
00:48:39I'd like to believe that, Sherwood.
00:48:42Why, you...
00:48:48Chief, I can explain this.
00:48:51You can't, Sherwood.
00:48:52Why, of course I can.
00:48:55You go to your quarters.
00:48:57Remain there till the proper authorities arrive.
00:49:04Yes, sir.
00:49:11Let's go.
00:49:37Dig him up, Fat Boy.
00:49:38Reach grid to ceiling.
00:49:40Let's hear Swanee River in Chinese.
00:49:46Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:49:47Don't you know better than to threaten a full-fledged ranger?
00:49:51Yes, Mr. Payday.
00:49:54Mr. Fong.
00:49:55Now, how about a couple of real nice chicken sandwiches?
00:50:00Chicken sandwiches?
00:50:01Yeah, chicken sandwiches, and make it snappy, and don't hold weak.
00:50:06Nice house.
00:50:07Ketchup and corned beef?
00:50:08Yes.
00:50:09Corned fish?
00:50:10Yes.
00:50:11Chicken?
00:50:12No, God.
00:50:13No chicken?
00:50:14Hey, what kind of a joint is this?
00:50:16I don't believe it.
00:50:28Hartigan, there's only one explanation for a man being frozen to death up here.
00:50:31One of the refrigerators.
00:50:32Possibly.
00:50:33My suggestion is that we look over the one in the barracks kitchen first.
00:50:36All right.
00:50:37I am old Yellowstone ranger.
00:50:42Just shagging along.
00:50:46Spares on my heels.
00:50:49Jagging, I saw.
00:50:52Do you notice anything wrong with the refrigerator, Fong?
00:50:54Anything out of order?
00:50:56Refrigerator?
00:50:57Yeah, icebox.
00:50:59No, no, no.
00:51:00Icebox, okie-dokie.
00:51:02We'd better take a look at it.
00:51:09What are you doing in there?
00:51:11Well, I was looking for chicken, but now I'm looking for Chinaman.
00:51:15Oh, let's get this over.
00:51:16I want a ride into Jackson Hole before the government men arrive.
00:51:25I told you once and for all, no, Dick.
00:51:27Come on, Pete.
00:51:28Now, it ain't no use.
00:51:29There's nobody in this park who's any more anxious to see you clear that foster thing than I am.
00:51:33Now, listen, Pete.
00:51:34But I ain't hankering to spend no time in a cell for aiding and abetting you to run off.
00:51:38Pete, no sirree.
00:51:39Pete, I'm not running off.
00:51:40Don't you understand?
00:51:41I've got to clear myself and prove to her.
00:51:42Aw, shucks.
00:51:43It ain't no use.
00:51:44That gal's been gone nigh over an hour.
00:51:46Gone?
00:51:47Where?
00:51:48She took the back trail cut to Jackson Hole.
00:51:49And I says to her.
00:51:50Pete, I've got to get out of here.
00:51:51Don't you understand?
00:51:52I've got to.
00:51:53Now, take it easy, son.
00:51:54I ain't loaning no government horses.
00:51:57Of course, if that horse of mine was missing and I didn't see nobody run off with him,
00:52:01it wouldn't be my fault, would it?
00:52:02Thanks, Pete.
00:52:03I hope you don't have to dirty up that gun of mine in the saddlebag.
00:52:06The seal ain't never been broke yet.
00:52:08Thanks, Pete.
00:52:09I hope I don't have to.
00:52:15Well, it's the truth.
00:52:27It's the truth.
00:52:57Can I have a word with Tony?
00:52:58He's in the hospital, now, but I've got the heart.
00:52:59Kwame, wake up.
00:53:00Come on, Tony.
00:53:01Wake up.
00:53:02Tony.

00:59:16someone's been digging here look
00:59:22saddlebags frozen it's quite clear what's in those bags
00:59:25it seems your father wasn't the only one who knew where the money had been hidden
00:59:33Ruth come here a sheet of paper frozen beneath the ice
00:59:39my dearest Ruth well this was written to you father's handwriting it's about the money Ruth
00:59:43where it's hidden and how to find it that's why the cabin was ransacked somebody knew about this
00:59:47the guy said it erupts every 30 minutes how long we've been in here I don't know
00:59:50your father and this man were caught in that eruption and frozen to death
00:59:52we've got to get out of here quick oh sure what are you doing here
00:59:59Mr Hardigan a little detecting on my own and I'm doing all right too yeah so I see
01:00:06we found him here Mr Hardigan Dick had nothing to do with that
01:00:10I know he didn't okay son put Pete's gun away and let's talk
01:00:13how do you know it's Pete's gun well it's my business to know things
01:00:17then do you know who he is sure I know I followed Professor Ross through the park for years
01:00:24well he's better known as Ball Jack one of the old Tracy Jenkins gang
01:00:27then it was he who no no no no Ball Jack did not kill your father he did however steal a
01:00:32letter your father left for you I saw him take it from the dresser that's why I accused you
01:00:36yesterday what do you mean well if I planted it on you it gave the others a chance to kill each
01:00:41other off certainly seems as if they're taking advantage of it now your father's frozen body
01:00:46was flung in here I get it the subterranean river that feeds old best must lie directly
01:00:52below this geyser if best hadn't erupted we'd never have known yeah they didn't figure on that
01:00:58listen let's collect these bags and get out of here
01:01:01this is stuff for keeps come here hardy didn't give me a hand we haven't any time to lose

01:01:13I'm sorry it has to end this way you're both a couple of nice kids but you shouldn't have
01:01:16mixed up in it what are you talking about I packed those bags for five years there's a
01:01:20fortune in there and I like fortunes get over there beside her no you don't Sherwood get over
01:01:26there I'm not going to make the same mistake with you I made with foster then it was you who
01:01:33murdered my father yeah only this time old best isn't going to deliver any
01:01:57oh come on Gertrude let yourself go this is gosh darn important
01:02:13chin up Ruth everything's all right now that we know what happened
01:02:18only thing to do is to try to forget it I hate to admit that I need a shoulder to weep on but I do
01:02:23one of our most important rules Miss Foster on page four I believe
01:02:27is that whenever beautiful young ladies start to weep they must be taught to laugh
01:02:31when the school starts right now this minute is it a long course no not very
01:02:36how soon you graduate's entirely up to you what do you want I got it got what
01:02:45we're back
