Short filmTranscript
00:00I can see a windswept sky, when the clouds stampede the sun.
00:06I can hear the coyotes crying, when my day's work is done.
00:12And the sage grass turns, through the gleam of my spurs.
00:17Ha ha ha! It takes more than a bunch of cheap crooks to get the best of Buck Peters.
00:23Why don't you go and try again?
00:25We would. Only you shot Buck Peters last night, and they'll be looking for us.
00:31I shot Buck Peters?
00:34That's a lie! I've been sleeping here all night!
00:39Where's my gun?
00:41Maybe you dropped it someplace.
00:44Listen, Nelson, you're lucky to be alive, and you got just one chance to stay that way.
00:49If you keep your mouth shut and do as you're told, we may find some use for you.
00:55Save your breath.
00:57I'm heading home to find out how much damage you skunks did.
01:00I wouldn't if I were you.
01:03The evidence is too strong against you.
01:05You wrapped up the stuff from the safe in your bandana last night, and left a lot of other tracks behind.
01:10I what?
01:12You're sure careless about leaving tracks.
01:14Why, you...
01:14No, you don't.
01:16You're in this, and you're gonna stay in it.
01:18I will, will I?
01:20Don't shoot! She'll get bored!
01:23Look out, I'll get him.
01:25You want to bring the whole town down on our ears?
01:39Tie him up.
01:45Hang on.
01:47Take him up in the hills and see that he don't get back.
01:50And if ever I see him again, it'll be just too bad for you.
01:57Get him out of here!
01:59All right, Boyd, come on.
02:15How you feel this morning, Buck?
02:18They weren't very good shots.
02:20They nearly missed me.
02:23Did you see any of their faces?
02:26Nary one.
02:28But you did see something, and you think it was Johnny.
02:32The young fool.
02:34But there'll be no more of it.
02:36I'm sending for the sheriff today.
02:37Buck, no matter what you think, Johnny couldn't do a thing like that.
02:41It ain't in him.
02:42I know how you feel about him, Hoppy.
02:44Just like he was your kid brother.
02:45But you gotta forget that.
02:47He's changed.
02:48Well, some things don't change.
02:50Johnny's been getting pretty thick with the tough gang that's drifted into Twin Rivers lately from Wyoming.
02:55Oh, we all go through that sort of thing.
02:58Yeah, I know all about that.
03:00But this sure looks bad for Johnny.
03:02The sheriff has got...
03:03Buck, I'm gonna take that money into the bank, and I'm gonna find out what's back of all this.
03:06Well, I...
03:07Twelve hours is all I want.
03:09After that, you can send for the sheriff.
03:11Is it a bargain?
03:12Well, all right, but I...
03:13Good.
03:14Now, you lie there and take it easy.
03:17Ooh.
03:18Good.
