00:06Gee, Hoppy, I'm glad to see you.
00:08Did you hear about Lucky?
00:09What do you mean?
00:10The bank was robbed last night and a watchman was killed.
00:12They're accusing Lucky.
00:14The sheriff and his posse are out after him right now.
00:16Well, why should they accuse him?
00:18Oh, that fellow, Taggart, claims he seen him come out of the bank right after the explosion.
00:21Well, why should they accuse him?

00:27Well, why should they accuse him?
00:30Well, did Lucky run away?
00:32Yeah, and he left his knife right in the bank.
00:34You know, the one I give him with his initials on it.
00:36Oh, well, anybody could have planted that there.
00:39You think so, Hoppy?
00:40Yeah, but that running away makes it look kind of bad.
00:43Yeah, you know, they claim it was over $20,000 took.
00:46Wendy, there hasn't been over $5,000 in that bank since Crawford started it.
00:50Oh, yes, there was.
00:51The payroll for the branch of mine was there.
00:53And Lucky was in the bank when it come in.
00:55Well, what if he was?
00:57I told him to meet me the other day.
00:59He just went in there to deposit his wages.
01:02That boy ain't no more to blame than I am.
01:04You're darn right he ain't.
01:06I think you and me gonna have to get a good lawyer to prove it.
01:09You bet your life we will.
01:11But don't get that to Hal Howard.
01:13I wouldn't trust him any further than you can throw a bull by the horns.
01:17Now, don't you worry.
01:19I said a good lawyer.
01:27Come on.
01:43Good morning, Howard.
01:44Morning.
01:47Well, here's that letter we've been waiting for.
01:49Heard from Washington, eh?
01:51Congressman says the irrigation bill will pass in a few days.
01:57He asked if we...
01:59if we got the Glen Randall Ranch.
02:02That's what we've got to get, Howard.
02:04It's the key to the watershed.
02:07I suppose a banker just has to worry about something.
02:10No, I'm...
02:11We're gonna clean up a fortune when we sell these ranches.
02:15I'm gonna marry the Randall Ranch.
02:18Celebration down there tonight to announce Agnes' engagement to me.
02:21Well, that's good news.
02:23Sure.
02:24There's always some way to make a deal.
02:27Look at the Norris Ranch.
02:29I told you I'd get that for a song, and I did.
02:31Which reminds me.
02:33You haven't paid your share of that deal yet.
02:36Worrying again, are you?
02:38No.
02:39But the robbery left me short of cash.
02:41And Blanchett will be in here any minute.
02:43And ask for his payroll money.
02:45Well, he'll just have to wait.
02:47I had to send away, sell some securities.
02:49I'll bring you the cash in the morning.
02:51All right.
