00:00What are you looking for, John?
00:25Just looking around.
00:26Why?
00:28You wouldn't happen to know about Cinder and I being waylaid, would you?
00:31Didn't know you were waylaid.
00:33When?
00:34About an hour ago.
00:37What are you driving at?
00:38Your man Lefty and some stranger held us up down the road, hit me on the head, knocked
00:43me out, and brought me here.
00:45Why?
00:46You must be crazy.
00:48Lefty's at the guesthouse cleaning my clothes.
00:51Yeah?
00:52Then whose hat is this?
00:54I don't know anything about no hat.
00:56You and Cinder were waylaid and brought here?
00:58Where's Cinder?
00:59Cinder's in there tied up.
01:01Then how did you get loose?
01:02Well, if you didn't know so much about all this, how did you know that I was tied up?
01:26I don't know.
01:56Aah!
01:59Aah!
02:26That's right.
02:42Your hair.
02:46Good afternoon, Miss Gerald.
02:47Oh, good afternoon, Sheriff.
02:49Kind of warm, isn't it?
02:50Oh, it's been so hot today.
02:52Sheriff, what brings you out to this neck of the woods?
02:55The wind is this time, Miss Gerald.
02:56Oh?
02:57Yeah.
02:58Seems you have a convict working for you who's wanted back east.
03:00They might ask us to talk to him.
03:02Sheriff, you must have made a mistake.
03:03We certainly investigate our men before we hire them.
03:06Yeah, I know you're mighty careful, Miss Gerald, but sometimes these fellows are pretty slick
03:10articles.
03:12Say, who does that big car over there belong to?
03:15Oh, that car?
03:16That belongs to Mr. Drums Miller.
03:18He's one of the biggest orchestra leaders in the country.
03:21He must be mighty rich.
03:22He's trying awfully hard to impress you people.
03:32That's the man I'm looking for.
03:34Hold on, boys.
03:35I'll take that guy, Ringer.
03:36He's wanted by the state of New York.
03:38Hey, Sheriff, here's a couple more prisoners for you.
03:40You can charge them with murder, kidnapping, and hold up.
03:43Anything else you want to.
03:45We'll back you up.
03:46OK, boys.
03:47As long as you swear off the warrant.
03:49Let anybody move.
03:51No!
04:05All right, you guys, get around there.
04:06Let's go.
04:07Get around.
