00:01:14Hey!
00:01:15Hey, it's coming!
00:01:16Oh!
00:01:17Hey, it's coming!
00:01:18Hut!
00:01:19Stage's coming!
00:01:20Hut!
00:01:21Hey!
00:01:22Hey!
00:01:23Hey, it's coming!
00:01:24Hey!
00:01:25Ha!
00:01:26Oh, stage is coming!
00:01:28Stage is coming, boys!
00:01:30Stage is coming!
00:01:33Stage is coming!
00:01:34Hey!
00:01:35What's so exciting about that?
00:01:36Well, you can search me, I don't know.
00:01:42Excuse me, boys.
00:01:44I'll be back in a minute.
00:01:46What's eating him?
00:01:47Women.
00:01:48Darn persnickety women.
00:01:50What's going on, Wendy?
00:01:51Come on, what are you holding out on me?
00:01:54I figured you'd find out soon enough to get in trouble.
00:01:57What's the play, Wendy?
00:01:59Some play-actor women.
00:02:00Pecos Cain's bringing in from Denver for his new show.
00:02:04Come on, Hoppy, let's look him over.
00:02:06Gosh, I haven't seen a pretty gal in a coon's age.
00:02:08You ain't likely to either, judging from the past samples.
00:02:12You and Wendy go ahead,
00:02:13I'll finish loading the buckboard.
00:02:14I won't do it.
00:02:15All women is plum poison.
00:02:17Oh, come on, Hoppy.
00:02:19Now, you know it won't do you a bit of harm just to look.
00:02:23Oh, all right.
00:02:27Where did you see them, boss?
00:02:28They sure is easy on the eyes.
00:02:31Ah, Sheriff, just in time
00:02:32for our little reception committee.
00:02:33I got that information in your wallet, Mr. Cain.
00:02:35Keep your mouth shut.
00:02:38Listen, everybody, today the drinks are on the house.
00:02:41Whoo!
00:02:44Anytime that Cain gives you something for nothing,
00:02:46somebody's got to give you something for nothing.
00:02:48I'm sure of it.
00:02:49I'm sure of it.
00:02:50I'm sure of it.
00:02:51I'm sure of it.
00:02:52I'm sure of it.
00:02:53I'm sure of it.
00:02:53I'm sure of it.
00:02:54I'm sure of it.
00:02:55I'm sure of it.
00:02:56I'm sure of it.
00:02:57Somebody's gonna pay.
00:03:06Oh!
00:03:14Come on, let's go.
00:03:15Come on, let's go with him.
00:03:24There's the prettiest one up there in my seat.
00:03:27Take it easy, Johnny. She looks a little different than the others.
00:03:52Let me down. Let me down.
00:04:00Put the lady down.
00:04:02Oh, thank you so much.
00:04:07Don't be alarmed, miss. The boys are only trying to show you how glad they are to see you.
00:04:10I don't understand. I'm the schoolteacher.
00:04:13Schoolteacher? Oh, well, won't you step in? Perhaps I can be of some assistance.
00:04:20She's a school mom.
00:04:22You don't say so. Let's go in and see what's going on.
00:04:27I thought you had no use for Cain and his gang.
00:04:30That's just why we're going in.
00:04:50You mean to tell me you really came here to teach school?
00:05:08Isn't this the town of Mesquite?
00:05:10Yes, but there aren't any children here.
00:05:12I can't understand that. I have a letter of introduction.
00:05:20Can't you see he's busy now? What did I...
00:05:22Oh, go on.
00:05:31Oh.
00:05:33This says you're to teach at the town of Mesquite Junction.
00:05:38That town burned down two months ago.
00:05:47See, I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:05:52You see, I came a long way. My home's in New England.
00:05:57So, count it, I'm...
00:06:02Don't you worry. I'll give you something to do.
00:06:09Bookkeeping.
00:06:11It won't be exactly what you'd expected, but you'll get a little more money.
00:06:18Now, you mustn't mind me. You see, it isn't often we have such lovely visitors. You are...
00:06:29Say, you don't like me, do you?
00:06:31Sure, I like you, all right.
00:06:33Why don't you ask me to dance?
00:06:39I'm sorry, miss, I don't know how to dance.
00:06:42Who's your good-looking friend over there?
00:06:44Who, him?
00:06:48He's the biggest rancher in the country. He spends money like water.
00:06:58You look kind of lonesome.
00:07:00Maybe you're right, ma'am. I was figuring that you weren't in on the fun.
00:07:04Why don't you ask me to dance?
00:07:08Who's the lady over there with jeans?
00:07:11Who, her? She's just a schoolteacher. You don't think she's one of us, do you?
00:07:16Don't know her name, do you?
00:07:18Mary Stevens.
00:07:20Fine.
00:07:22And if you want to know where she was born, you can go and ask her.
00:07:28Go get the buckboard.
00:07:30Oh, it's a hurry. Hoppy, we ain't had no fun yet.
00:07:32Go on. I'll be out there in a minute.
00:07:38But I could stay here.
00:07:40Excuse me, Miss Stevens.
00:07:44The buckboard will be here in a minute now, miss. I'm sorry I was late.
00:07:48Buckboard? What do you mean, Cassidy?
00:07:50Mrs. Peters asked me to meet the stage and bring Miss Stevens, a new schoolteacher, out to the ranch.
00:07:57Oh.
00:07:59Will you get my bag?
00:08:01Get the lady's bag, boy.
00:08:08Thank you so much, Mr. Kane, for offering me a job, but I won't need it now.
00:08:12Well, I'm very glad everything turned out all right.
00:08:18Who sent you for me?
00:08:20Mrs. Buck Peters of the Bar 20 Ranch.
00:08:24I'm very glad you came. I was getting terribly frightened.
00:08:29Goodbye, Mr. Kane.
00:08:30Goodbye, Miss Stevens.
00:08:31Right this way, ma'am.
00:08:34Thanks, Mr. Kane.
00:08:46There's our buckboard now.
00:08:49Suffering catfish.
00:08:51Hey, Slim, throw that pump in the back, will you?
00:08:53Sure, Hoppy.
00:08:55Mr. Mary Stevens, our new school mom, Wendy.
00:08:58Miss Stevens, this year's Wendy.
00:09:00Harry.
00:09:02The string dean up there, Johnny Nelson.
00:09:05He's the baby in our outfit.
00:09:07I'm very pleased to meet you, ma'am.
00:09:09How do you do?
00:09:10School mom?
00:09:11Mrs. Peters is expecting Miss Stevens at the ranch, so don't do no fancy driving.
00:09:17Say, that tooth's bothering me again, Hoppy.
00:09:19I reckon I better go see a tooth doctor.
00:09:22I'll drive Miss Stevens to the ranch, Hoppy.
00:09:24All right, Johnny.
00:09:25Get right in, man.
00:09:29There you are.
00:09:36I'll drive real careful, Hoppy.
00:09:38All right.
00:09:46Now, we'll go have that tooth pulled.
00:09:49Oh, quit hurting now, Hoppy.
00:09:51I think I'll just let her go to later.
00:09:53You old faker.
00:09:55I ain't no faker, Hoppy.
00:09:57That tooth always cuts up when there's female women around.
00:10:01It's a warning from heaven.
00:10:05Well, we better get on back to the ranch.
00:10:07I'll ride ahead and let Mrs. Peters know she's expecting company.
00:10:11Miss Stevens say she don't know if school mom's coming?
00:10:15Wendy, sometimes you've almost got good sense.
00:10:26Salud.
00:10:29Very sweet.
00:10:31Mr. Kane.
00:10:32Mr. Kane.
00:10:33Well?
00:10:34I've got to see you at once.
00:10:35Don't bother me.
00:10:36Yes, but it's important.
00:10:38All right.
00:10:45That's the boss.
00:10:52Well, what is it?
00:10:54The stage is going to pick up that well sparkle box over at Gunsite and bring it over here.
00:10:59They ain't even going to stop to change horses over there.
00:11:02So what of it?
00:11:03Well, I got a hint.
00:11:06Cash at Gunsite.
00:11:08They're bringing it over here to pay for them lazy Jay and Circle X cattle they headed in over the East Trail last week.
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:15Wouldn't do us any harm to take a look.
00:11:17I ain't getting mixed up in it, though.
00:11:19And enough nasty looks coming my way since election.
00:11:23This job ain't healthy.
00:11:25I sure am tempted to resign.
00:11:27You resign when I say so, not before.
00:11:29Now go on, tell the boys I want to see them.
00:11:31All right.
00:11:35Give me a glass of beer.
00:11:42Hey, you're getting pretty fresh, isn't she?
00:11:45Don't you know that's for a drink?
00:11:47Don't you know the drinks are at the house?
00:11:50I don't know nothing about that, but I'm going to get my money.
00:12:01Hey, Wendy.
00:12:04You're getting kind of rough, ain't you?
00:12:06Women, dog on them.
00:12:08Getting so old a man can't take a drink at peace around here anymore.
00:12:12Actor women, school marm.
00:12:14I reckon that school marm will have to learn you some manners.
00:12:16Bill Cassidy didn't have no right to take that school marm out to ranch.
00:12:20They was expecting her, wasn't they?
00:12:22That's just one of Happy's fool ideas.
00:12:25I didn't tell them women ain't no good.
00:12:27I tell you young fellas, they're plumb poison.
00:12:30Oh, I wouldn't say that.
00:12:31Well, the time you've lived long as I haven't had as many as I have, you know what I'm talking about.
00:12:35Is that so?
00:12:36Yes, sir.
00:12:37Of course, I'm only interested in getting the money off the stage.
00:12:39You can go about it your own way.
00:12:41You don't have to worry.
00:12:42Well, you haven't much time, you better get started.
00:12:47Come in.
00:12:52Cassidy kind of made chumps of us, boss.
00:12:54They wasn't expecting that school teacher out at the bar 20.
00:12:57How do you know?
00:12:58Well, old black mouth Wendy said Cassidy done it to get the girl himself.
00:13:02This time I was teaching that bar 20 outfit to stay out of my business.
00:13:06They're a bad bunch to cross up.
00:13:08Yeah.
00:13:10Oh, Mr. Kane.
00:13:11What do you want?
00:13:12Mr. Ridley is here and he wants to see you.
00:13:14Oh.
00:13:18Hello, Mr. Ridley.
00:13:19Glad to see you.
00:13:20Thanks.
00:13:21That's a nice place you got here, Mr. Kane.
00:13:23Thank you so much.
00:13:24It serves its purpose.
00:13:26Sit down.
00:13:29Well, how do you like ranch life in America by now, Mr. Ridley?
00:13:32Well, as a matter of fact, I find it rather exciting.
00:13:35And I had no idea when I was asked to come here to manage the question mark ranch that I should have to deal with cattle thieves.
00:13:42Cattle thieves?
00:13:43Yes, we are losing cattle all the time.
00:13:46And something's got to be done about it.
00:13:48Some of the other ranchers are partaking the matter into their own hands.
00:13:51But it's my conviction that the law should take its course.
00:13:54Oh, yes, yes.
00:13:55I fully agree with you.
00:13:56Of course, that's what the law is for.
00:13:58Well, I'm glad to hear you say that, Mr. Kane.
00:14:01My object in coming here was to induce you and other law-abiding citizens to cooperate with me in this matter.
00:14:08You may depend upon my full cooperation.
00:14:15What are you doing in town, Gabby?
00:14:17I just trailed in a punch that's been spying on us.
00:14:20How much does he know?
00:14:21Plenty.
00:14:22He knows that the cattle we've been driving was rustled from the question mark.
00:14:25Where is he now?
00:14:26Out there in the saloon.
00:14:34There he is.
00:14:43That's one of the question mark boys.
00:14:46He's come to tip Ridley off.
00:14:52Let's go.
00:15:01Better to get out of the way.
00:15:20What's the trouble, Thorpe?
00:15:21Another gunfight?
00:15:22A couple of drunks?
00:15:25Was it, uh, fair?
00:15:28Sure was.
00:15:30Just one of those unfortunate things I have to contend with here every once in a while.
00:15:34You'd better go out this way, Mr. Ridley.
00:15:43You saw it was a fair fight, didn't you?
00:15:46Mister?
00:15:47I didn't even see what happened.
00:15:49My back was turned.
00:15:52You've got a long life ahead of you, old-timer.
00:15:55Yeah, but not in here.
00:16:10Aren't you afraid of Indians away out here?
00:16:13Ah, shucks no, ma'am.
00:16:14I go out and shoot a couple every morning before breakfast.
00:16:18You must be awfully brave.
00:16:20I'd be scared to death if I even saw one.
00:16:23Well, you needn't be scared with me around, ma'am.
00:16:26I'll learn you how to shoot and rope a cow, and we'll go riding and everything.
00:16:30I've never ridden a horse.
00:16:33Well, in that case, I'll get you a horse that ain't never been rode.
00:16:35Then you'll both start even.
00:16:41Aw, shucks, ma'am.
00:16:43I didn't mean nothing.
00:16:44I was only fooling.
00:16:48Gosh, but you're pretty.
00:16:54Oh, what a beautiful view.
00:16:56Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:17:04This is what we call Sweetwater Basin.
00:17:07There's the stage road to gunsight.
00:17:14What are those men doing over there?
00:17:17I don't know.
00:17:23Here it comes.
00:17:28What was that?
00:17:30Okay.
00:17:46They're blocking the road.
00:17:50Oh, look, here comes the stage.
00:17:56It's a holdup.
00:18:00Watch me clean him up.
00:18:01Oh, please don't go. You might get hurt.
00:18:07Wait till Hoppy hears he missed out on this.
00:18:09He'll be as mad as a hornet with a hive.
00:18:14Oh, come back. Don't leave me. I'm afraid.
00:18:18Whoa.
00:18:20Whoa.
00:18:22Whoa.
00:18:30Whoa.
00:18:31Whoa.
00:18:35Looks like a landslide.
00:18:59Whoa.
00:19:20Looks like somebody else is mixing in.
00:19:22See who it is.
00:19:29Whoa.
00:19:35Whoa.
00:19:38Whoa.
00:20:00Whoa.
00:20:02Whoa.
00:20:08Whoa.
00:20:11Whoa.
00:20:16Whoa.
00:20:18Whoa.
00:20:20Oh, boy.
00:20:22What happened, ma'am?
00:20:23Where's Johnny?
00:20:25The stage was being held up and Johnny went to help the poor stage driver
00:20:28and the horses ran away with me.
00:20:30Where was the holdup?
00:20:31Oh, it was Sweetwater something.
00:20:33They were all shooting at one another and, oh, I'm afraid Johnny might get hurt.
00:20:37Now, don't you worry, ma'am.
00:20:38You just let the horses go and they'll take you right home without a bit of trouble.
00:20:42I'll go see what's up.
00:20:59Whoa.
00:21:08Whoa.
00:21:13Whoa.
00:21:29I couldn't get a decent shot of that, Henry.
00:21:31Get down.
00:21:33I'll get him myself.
00:21:46Well, I guess that finishes him.
00:21:47Let's get going before somebody else mixes in.
00:21:50And by 20, I'm still kicking.
00:21:51Well, go finish him off.
00:21:53We'll get the box off the stage.
00:21:54Right.
00:21:58Let's go.
00:22:16Take a good look at it, Bar 20, and see what you're going to get for mixing.
00:22:23There's another Bar 20 mixing in.
00:22:25They've got Fisher.
00:22:26I'll get him.
00:22:27That's Cassidy.
00:22:28He's bad medicine.
00:22:29Let's get going.
00:22:35Gosh, Hoppy, you're sure a sight for sore eyes.
00:22:37For a minute, I thought I was going to sprout wings and play a harp.
00:22:40You hurt bad, kid?
00:22:41No, I'm all right.
00:22:43They just slowed me up a bit.
00:22:44Oh, you're lucky.
00:22:45Just a scratch.
00:22:52Hey, come on, Hoppy.
00:22:53They're getting away.
00:22:54Not now.
00:22:55We'll take that up later.
00:22:57All right.
00:23:05Where have I seen that hombre before?
00:23:08You ever been in Kane's Saloon?
00:23:09That's it.
00:23:11That's where I saw him.
00:23:12I reckon that's all we need to know for the time being.
00:23:16Well, we might as well get home.
00:23:28Let's go.
00:23:47Hey, you ain't lost anything, have you, Johnny?
00:23:50No, I reckon not.
00:23:51Are you sure you got everything you started out from town with?
00:23:57I bet you all fishhooks to school more.
00:24:19What's the trouble, Hoppy?
00:24:20That schoolteacher tells us there's been a stage hold up or something.
00:24:23Yeah, the gun sight stage was held up.
00:24:25The fireworks is all over now.
00:24:27Well, I reckon there's nothing we can do about it, is there?
00:24:29No, it looks like a case for the coroner.
00:24:31Joe, you better ride in town.
00:24:33Tell him to come out and look it over.
00:24:34Where's Johnny, Hoppy?
00:24:37He's gone back to pick up something he dropped on the way.
00:24:39He'll be along in a few minutes now.
00:24:41Well, how did it all happen?
00:24:42Well, I was heading out to the ranch in town.
00:24:46I wonder where Johnny is.
00:24:48Oh, he'll be along in a minute.
00:24:50Like them cattle of Little Bo Peep's, wagging his tail behind him.
00:24:54It was sheep that Little Bo Peep had, Mr. Cassidy.
00:24:56Not in a cattle country, Miss.
00:25:00I'm glad Mr. Nelson wasn't hurt this afternoon.
00:25:02Young idiots always getting in some kind of trouble.
00:25:05Special when they're in trouble.
00:25:07Well, I'm sure he'll be all right.
00:25:09Well, I'm sure he'll be all right.
00:25:11Well, I'm sure he'll be all right.
00:25:14Special when there's women around.
00:25:16I expect an apology from him for leading me the way he did.
00:25:19We'll see that you get that, Miss.
00:25:21Even if we have to rope him in hog time to get it out of him.
00:25:24Hello.
00:25:26I'm sorry I'm late.
00:25:27But Johnny, you're hurt.
00:25:31I'm all right.
00:25:32Oh, you poor boy.
00:25:33Oh, Johnny, the way you act, anybody'd think you was killed.
00:25:37Here, sit down there.
00:25:40Darn faker, he's playing possum.
00:25:43Say, do you reckon we better send for the horse doctor?
00:25:47I'll get you something to eat and you'll feel much better.
00:25:50Yeah, poor little Johnny.
00:25:53Here you are.
00:25:54Hey, that's the sore one.
00:26:00Take mighty good care of him, Miss Mary, because he's going to be a fine patient.
00:26:05My, my, that's a deep scratch, Johnny.
00:26:07Must be awful painful, boy.
00:26:10Here, put some of this on him, make him look better.
00:26:16Would you cut this for me?
00:26:18Windy?
00:26:19Windy!
00:26:22Where do you think you're going?
00:26:24In there with Hoppy and the boys.
00:26:25Oh, no, you're not.
00:26:26It's your turn to do the dishes.
00:26:28I won't do it.
00:26:30Oh, yes, you will.
00:26:31You'll march yourself right into that kitchen this minute.
00:26:33Oh, all right.
00:26:35I'll be there in a jiffy.
00:26:38Darn persnickety women.
00:26:44Say, you know, Buck, I've got an idea that Cain and the sheriff was both in on that stage hold-up.
00:26:50That Cain is a bad hombre.
00:26:52You're darn right, Buck.
00:26:54I saw one of them question mark boys get shot down in the saloon today.
00:26:58Cold-blooded murder it was.
00:27:00Well, Ridley should be ready to listen to reason now about cleaning out that whole outfit.
00:27:07I tell you, Mr. Ridley, this Sheriff Corwin is a weak sister.
00:27:11But he was elected fairly, wasn't he?
00:27:14You know, I sometimes think you Westerners don't give your forces of law and order enough moral support.
00:27:19That'd be all right if Corwin wasn't Cain's man, but you...
00:27:22I think you're wrong there, Mr. Cassidy.
00:27:24Especially in your attitude towards Mr. Cassidy.
00:27:26I think you're wrong there, Mr. Cassidy.
00:27:28Especially in your attitude towards Mr. Cain.
00:27:30Well, maybe that's the way you feel about it.
00:27:33But I think the rope would fit pretty well around his neck.
00:27:36And Corwin's too.
00:27:37Oh, come, I see, gentlemen. Let's not get hysterical.
00:27:40Mr. Cain is an honest man, I tell you.
00:27:43Ridley, you've got a lot to learn about the West.
00:27:48Just how are you figuring to get back that 5,000 that they lifted off the stagecoach yesterday?
00:27:54I've already posted a reward notice of $1,000 for the apprehension of the criminals.
00:27:58A lot of good that's going to do you.
00:28:00Oh, I feel certain that the amount will tempt someone to betray us.
00:28:03Cain's men don't talk.
00:28:06Now, we're never going to get no place handling with gloves on.
00:28:09I insist upon handling this in my own way, gentlemen.
00:28:13I feel there's no need for any violence.
00:28:16You got any idea why that puncher of yours was shot yesterday?
00:28:19I see no reason for disbelieving Sheriff Corwin's report that it was a drunken brawl.
00:28:23Well, if that's the way you feel about it, Mr. Ridley, I guess there's nothing more to say.
00:28:27No.
00:28:33Well, won't you gentlemen join me in a cup of tea before you go?
00:28:38No, thanks, Mr. Ridley.
00:28:41Oh, we'll be getting along.
00:28:45Extraordinary people.
00:28:47Extraordinary people.
00:28:53Tea.
00:28:54He'll be a lot of help.
00:28:56He's a stubborn old fool.
00:29:17This is the only schoolhouse we've got in these parts, Miss Mary.
00:29:20It's been closed a long time.
00:29:22Let's see what it looks like inside.
00:29:24It's going to need a lot of fixing up.
00:29:31This looks better than I expected.
00:29:33We can bring the boys over from the ranch and fix it up in no time.
00:29:37There you are, teacher.
00:29:51Johnny Nelson?
00:29:52Yes, ma'am.
00:29:53Do you know your lesson today?
00:29:55Oh, yes, ma'am.
00:30:01Johnny Nelson?
00:30:02Yes, ma'am.
00:30:03Do you know your lesson today?
00:30:05Yes, ma'am.
00:30:11Half a league. Half a league. Half a league onward.
00:30:14Into the valley of death.
00:30:16Rode the 800.
00:30:18600.
00:30:19800.
00:30:20600.
00:30:21800.
00:30:22Johnny Nelson, you may go to the blackboard and write 600 four times.
00:30:35Just for that, you may stay after school, young man.
00:31:06Oh, don't be mad, teacher.
00:31:08I brought you a present.
00:31:15I'm sorry.
00:31:25I'm sorry.
00:31:26I'm sorry.
00:31:27I'm sorry.
00:31:28I'm sorry.
00:31:29I'm sorry.
00:31:30I'm sorry.
00:31:31I'm sorry.
00:31:32I'm sorry.
00:31:33I'm sorry.
00:31:34I'm sorry.
00:31:40Miss Mary.
00:31:42I didn't mean no harm.
00:31:46Please, Miss Mary.
00:31:54Nelson, you're under arrest.
00:31:56Up with those hands. Drop that gun.
00:31:58You're wanted for that stage hold-up, Nelson.
00:32:00You're crazy.
00:32:01Come on. You're going with me.
00:32:03I didn't do it.
00:32:04He went to help those men on the stage.
00:32:06Huh?
00:32:07I was there.
00:32:08We better take her along as a witness, then.
00:32:11I'll be glad to testify for Mr. Nelson.
00:32:13I don't want you to get mixed up in this, Miss Mary.
00:32:15You better go back to the ranch.
00:32:17She's coming with us.
00:32:18Come on.
00:32:34That's Johnny's horse.
00:32:36Reckon him and the teacher are looking the place over.
00:32:39I think I'll ride over and josh him a little.
00:32:42You'll be about as welcome as a hornet at a Sunday school picnic.
00:33:04Well, what's going on here?
00:33:06I'm taking this man in for murder and grand larceny.
00:33:09He was identified at the stage hold-up.
00:33:12Where's your warrant?
00:33:13I got it all right, and you stand back, Cassidy, or I'll shoot.
00:33:18Well, just to show there's no harm meant.
00:33:21How about talking this over nice and peaceful-like?
00:33:24Well, I don't mind talking to the judge.
00:33:26Don't mind me, Hoppy. You get Miss Mary home.
00:33:30Are you sure?
00:33:32Are you sure you got the right man, Corwin?
00:33:34Now, you stay back.
00:33:36Now, take him and the girl away.
00:33:38Say I'm out.
00:33:40You can't resist the law like this, Cassidy.
00:33:42Ah, you got me all wrong, Corwin. I just come to help you.
00:33:46Now, let's take a look at that warrant.
00:33:48I, uh, I ain't got it on me.
00:33:51Now, that's just what I figured.
00:33:53So we'll both go along with you.
00:33:55And just make sure you get the right name on it.
00:33:58Untie Johnny, please, ma'am.
00:34:02Come here, deputy.
00:34:09I'm glad you're going with him. Now I know Johnny will be all right.
00:34:12I can take care of myself.
00:34:14Johnny Nelson, you're very ungrateful.
00:34:16Never mind him, ma'am. He'll learn some manners when he grows up.
00:34:20Anyhow, I appreciate what you've done.
00:34:24Oh, well, um...
00:34:27Uh, you tell Mrs. Peters we'll be home for supper, will you?
00:34:31Come on, get going, you two.
00:34:33Come on, get going, you two.
00:34:35Come on.
00:35:00Ah, I've seen a show of these women underfoot everywhere.
00:35:04I got a good notion to quit the bar 20.
00:35:07Look at this place.
00:35:09Can't get it all littered up with women.
00:35:12I tell you, shorty, women is plump pipe.
00:35:35There's one of them right there.
00:35:39All right, Corwin, arrest him.
00:35:43Hey, what is this?
00:35:44Corwin's arresting this man for murder and holding up the gun sight stage.
00:35:48Getting kind of high-handed, aren't you, Cassidy?
00:35:51Since when did you start running things around here?
00:35:53You'll get a fair trial.
00:35:55We'll see to that.
00:35:57Well, maybe there's a little mistake.
00:35:59Why don't you sit down and look?
00:36:01Well, maybe there's a little mistake.
00:36:03Why don't you sit down and see if we can straighten this out?
00:36:08Oh, you don't.
00:36:10There'll be no sniping from behind that wall this time.
00:36:14Corwin, arrest this man.
00:36:17If you don't, I'll take him myself.
00:36:31Good boy, Johnny.
00:36:33Wendy.
00:36:39I'll let you have it just for luck.
00:36:45And when I find out who the others are,
00:36:48we're really gonna start cleaning house.
00:36:51Come on, Sheriff.
00:37:02I can get him from here.
00:37:04Let him alone.
00:37:06I want to get him on my own way.
00:37:08Get that out of here and start the music.
00:37:15Everybody, choose your partners for a quadrille.
00:37:19Come on, let's go.
00:37:23All right.
00:37:24Now, this is music.
00:37:26Honor your partners.
00:37:29Ladies to the left.
00:37:31All join hands and circle to the left.
00:37:38All in back, but head on partners.
00:37:42Now, on the sides.
00:37:46All show up, back and right.
00:37:51Swing your partners.
00:37:54Having a good time, Miss Mary?
00:37:56Oh, wonderful.
00:37:57It was so nice of Mrs. Peters to get this party for me.
00:38:01Two ladies change.
00:38:03Sweep my head and I'll sweep yours.
00:38:11Now, let all join hands.
00:38:14My advice, son, let women alone.
00:38:17They're just born troublemakers.
00:38:19I don't need your advice.
00:38:21Look at her.
00:38:22Now she's trying to snare Hoppy.
00:38:26A minute ago, she was looking in your eyes like a dying duck in a thunderstorm.
00:38:32Oh, shut up.
00:38:34Now she's got him woozy-headed.
00:38:37First thing you know, she'll be coming between me and you and Hoppy.
00:38:41Splitting things up that's lasted for years.
00:38:46Oh, thank you a lot, Miss Mary.
00:38:49Having a nice time, Mary?
00:38:51Oh, thank you a lot, Miss Mary.
00:38:54Having a nice time, Mary?
00:38:55Oh, just lovely.
00:38:56Oh, that's fine.
00:38:57Hoppy don't seem to be having such a bad time himself.
00:39:00I hope I didn't tire you out, Miss.
00:39:02Oh, not at all.
00:39:03Not at all?
00:39:04Yes.
00:39:05Suppose for a change, we make the next one a waltz.
00:39:07A nice, cuddly little waltz.
00:39:12Well, it's awfully warm in here.
00:39:14I'm going to have a glass of punch.
00:39:15Come on, Buck.
00:39:16All right, Ma.
00:39:17Coming along, folks?
00:39:18No, I'd like to dance.
00:39:20It's all right.
00:39:22Hey, Johnny.
00:39:25What do you say me and you go over to Gunshite and get a drink?
00:39:28All right, folks.
00:39:29Choose your partners for a nice, cuddly little waltz.
00:39:40Hey, come back here with my girl.
00:39:42My girl.
00:39:48Ouch.
00:39:50I'm sorry, Miss.
00:40:03Oh, my lamb.
00:40:05I forgot all about fixing the ice cream.
00:40:08That's a nice party, Buck.
00:40:10Yeah, you betcha.
00:40:23Clumsy.
00:40:24Now look what you've done.
00:40:26Gosh, I guess I missed my step.
00:40:29The kid's in trouble again.
00:40:34We had no right to interfere, though.
00:40:36We had no right to interfere.
00:40:37This was Mr. Cassidy's dance.
00:40:38Don't mind him, ma'am.
00:40:40You know, when Johnny dances, he's got more feet than a centipede.
00:40:44Well, if you'd rather dance with Mr. Cassidy, I'll get out.
00:40:47I don't have to be told when I'm not wanted.
00:40:55What did I tell you?
00:40:56She throws you down for Cassidy.
00:40:59Come on.
00:41:00Let's go over to Gunshite and get that drink.
00:41:02That suits me.
00:41:04You go get your hat and I'll saddle the horse.
00:41:05That's a ticket.
00:41:13Wendy?
00:41:15Where are you going?
00:41:16Me and Johnny's going out and getting a little fresh air.
00:41:19No, you're not.
00:41:20You'll get all the fresh air you want in the kitchen, turn in the ice cream freezer.
00:41:24I won't do it.
00:41:25Oh, yes, you will.
00:41:26Now march.
00:41:28I'm winning.
00:41:35There.
00:41:37There.
00:41:38Come on, get him.
00:41:39Get him.
00:41:40Come on, get him.
00:41:44There you are.
00:41:45There.
00:41:46All right, tie him.
00:41:47That'll work, boys.
00:41:48Come on, give it to me, boys.
00:41:50Oh, come on.
00:41:51Don't be mad at Johnny.
00:41:52He didn't mean it.
00:41:54He needed a good calling down.
00:41:57I'll bet he's sitting out there feeling awful bad.
00:42:00No, he's kind of touchy.
00:42:02Do you really think I hurt his feelings?
00:42:05Maybe I'd better go out and tell him you went to dance with him.
00:42:08Huh?
00:42:09Well, all right.
00:42:26Hey, Johnny.
00:42:29Oh, Johnny.
00:42:31Get him out of sight.
00:42:41Johnny.
00:42:43Where are you?
00:42:52Oh, Johnny.
00:42:53Put him up.
00:42:58Put him up.
00:43:28Put him up.
00:43:38Too bad I couldn't find you last night, Johnny.
00:43:40I wanted to dance with you.
00:43:42Well...
00:43:45Where do you reckon we are?
00:43:47Search me.
00:43:48I was all night coming out here in the desert somewhere.
00:43:52This doesn't look much like a desert.
00:43:55Some kind of a valley.
00:43:57Look at all them cattle.
00:44:01Hey, take a look at the brand on that cow when she turns around.
00:44:05That's a question mark cow.
00:44:07Yeah, and that ain't all either.
00:44:09There's some bar 20 cattle out there if you take a good look.
00:44:12This must be the place where they've been driving them off to.
00:44:15I had an idea Cain was rustling cattle.
00:44:18And this cinches it.
00:44:20Glad to see you, Mr. Cain.
00:44:21How do you do?
00:44:22Our sheriff?
00:44:23Mr. Ray Lincoln.
00:44:24We have some very important news for you.
00:44:26Please do sit down.
00:44:29It's about that stage hold up.
00:44:32Oh.
00:44:33I'm sorry to have to tell you that...
00:44:35Sheriff has evidence.
00:44:37Cassidy and Nelson of the bar 20 outfit committed that robbery.
00:44:40Cassidy?
00:44:41Yes.
00:44:42Can you identify this, Mr. Wrigley?
00:44:46Yes, that's my note.
00:44:48It was included in the shipment of currency at the gun site.
00:44:51Yes, and Nelson dropped that out of his pocket while buying a drink in my saloon.
00:44:55Really?
00:44:56Cassidy was with him.
00:44:58For some unaccountable reason, shot an innocent man at the time.
00:45:02Well, perhaps that man knew too much.
00:45:04Yes, yes, that's just what we thought.
00:45:06Well, you know they ought to be arrested.
00:45:08Well, they can be if you want to sign the warrant.
00:45:13All right, I'll do that.
00:45:16Right there, Mr. Wrigley.
00:45:21There.
00:45:22Now you can arrest them immediately.
00:45:24That ain't going to be so easy.
00:45:26Yes, it's pretty hard nut to crack.
00:45:29They were seen heading out of town early this morning.
00:45:32They got a lot of friends, too.
00:45:34Perhaps if you increased the reward.
00:45:38All right, I'll do that.
00:45:40I'll pay $2,500 for the capture of the men who robbed that stage.
00:45:44You mean...
00:45:46dead or alive?
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48Dead or alive.
00:45:50If you put that in writing and Sheriff Corwin posts it, it should get some results.
00:46:04Now listen, boys.
00:46:05You're riding out to Surprise Valley with Corwin here to bring in Nelson and Cassidy.
00:46:09And I want them brought in dead.
00:46:11Now, you got it straight?
00:46:13Yeah.
00:46:14All right, get going.
00:46:20All right.
00:46:31I know you.
00:46:32You're one of the gang that held up the stage.
00:46:34Shut up, Johnny.
00:46:35Now, ain't you smart?
00:46:37If I had my way, they'd be patting you in the face with a shovel right now.
00:46:41But the boss has got other plans.
00:46:44Well, how about getting us something to eat, Poison Ivy?
00:46:47I feed dogs after I've ate first.
00:46:52That guy's as sweet-tempered as a hydrophobic skunk.
00:46:59What do you reckon they got us here for?
00:47:01Looks like Kane are trying to pin that stage robbery on both of us.
00:47:10Now, don't get yourself all tired out, kid.
00:47:12I got an idea.
00:47:13Maybe it'll work.
00:47:17All right.
00:47:47Let's go.
00:48:10It's about time you were getting here.
00:48:13I'll enjoy my grub better watching you try to eat this.
00:48:18Root for it.
00:48:25Drop that knife!
00:48:26Drop it!
00:48:42Rustle up some horses, Johnny.
00:48:44You might just as well save yourself the trouble.
00:48:47Kane had all the horses taken back last night.
00:48:49All right, we'll walk.
00:48:51And you're going with us.
00:48:53Johnny, get some of that grub and fill the cantina.
00:48:55We'll be on our way.
00:48:56Come on.
00:48:59Get going.
00:49:13Come on.
00:49:25Look at that.
00:49:32So you thought you'd walk.
00:49:34I guess you'll sing a different tune now, won't you?
00:49:36Looks like we're up against it, Hoppy.
00:49:38Maybe we'd better go back.
00:49:39We're going on.
00:49:41Listen, man, you can't cross that.
00:49:43It's never been crossed on foot and never will be.
00:49:46It's suicide to try it.
00:49:48It's never been done, huh?
00:49:50No.
00:49:51Well, we're gonna do it.
00:49:53Get going.
00:50:11Come on.
00:50:12Come on.
00:50:13Come on.
00:50:40Yeah, you might as well finish this, Johnny.
00:50:43You had yours, Hoppy?
00:50:45Sure, I had mine.
00:50:46Go ahead.
00:51:00Give me a lift with this armor, kid.
00:51:08All right.
00:51:13Let's go.
00:51:38Looks like Corman and a couple of his men.
00:51:40I reckon they're after us.
00:51:43Let's go.
00:51:56They're coming up.
00:51:58Get their guns, Johnny.
00:52:08Get off them horses.
00:52:13Get on a horse.
00:52:17You ain't going to leave us out here alone.
00:52:20How are we going to get back?
00:52:22You can start in where we left off.
00:52:24But you can't do this, Cassidy.
00:52:26Why, we'll die of thirst.
00:52:27It'd serve you right for forgetting your oath of office.
00:52:31Cassidy, please.
00:52:37Come on.
00:52:40Come on.
00:52:43Come on.
00:52:48And it was the same thing with the cattle rustling and the stage holdup.
00:52:51Kane was the boss of it all.
00:52:53Now, Ridley, are you convinced?
00:52:55Absolutely.
00:52:56I'm sorry I let myself be misled.
00:52:59I'm with you now in anything you want to do.
00:53:01Come on, fellas, three cheers for Mr. Ridley.
00:53:04Ridley.
00:53:05Ridley.
00:53:06Ridley.
00:53:07All right, boys, let's get going.
00:53:09We're going to clean house.
00:53:11Yeah, wait.
00:53:12That $2,500 reward still stands.
00:53:15But it's for Pecos Kane, dead or alive.
00:53:18Yippee!
00:53:22Gene, you're on Mr. Cassidy's orders.
00:53:24Get all our boys and join us.
00:53:25Come on, boys, we're arriving.
00:53:42Come on.
00:53:48Come on.
00:54:12Come on.
00:54:23Gene, take your men into town to the north.
00:54:25You and your men come in from the east, Johnny.
00:54:27Wendy, bring your men in from the west.
00:54:29Buck and me is heading in from the south.
00:54:31All right, let's go.
00:54:42Let's go.
00:55:13Let's go.
00:55:27Listen, boss, they've rounded up the ranchers and they're headed this way.
00:55:30Yeah, and Cassidy's leading them.
00:55:31Cassidy.
00:55:32Looks like we're in for trouble.
00:55:34All right, boys, get the women out and barricade the place.
00:55:36It's going to be a fight. Come on, get out.
00:55:38Come on.
00:55:43I'll finish the shopping, Mary.
00:55:45I'll pick you up at the post office later.
00:55:47It'll only take me a minute.
00:55:48Well, you'd better hurry, because I've got to get back to the ranch.
00:55:50It's getting late.
00:55:51All right, dear.
00:56:03Oh, hello, Miss Stevens.
00:56:04I was wondering what happened to you.
00:56:05I want to ask you a couple of questions.
00:56:07I'm sorry, I haven't time.
00:56:09Yeah, wait a minute.
00:56:10You come on in here.
00:56:43Get that table and get to the door here.
00:57:06What are you going to do?
00:57:07We're going to take a little trip.
00:57:12Come on.
00:57:22You come out and show yourself at the front door.
00:57:24I'll bring him to terms.
00:57:29The place is surrounded.
00:57:30You get over there and stay behind something.
00:57:32Take some of the men upstairs and cover them from there.
00:57:34Give me a gun.
00:57:36Come on, boys.
00:57:42Come on.
00:58:13Come on.
00:58:24You know, this can go on forever.
00:58:26They can hold out there for days.
00:58:28Say, Hoppy, look what I fixed up.
00:58:30If I can get close enough to throw this, we'll blow them clean out of their roost.
00:58:34You're not going to try anything of the kind.
00:58:36They'd fill you full of holes before you got halfway across the street.
00:58:39Anybody dare not try a thing like that, I'll get you.
00:59:09Look at that darn fool.
00:59:32Cover him, Johnny.
00:59:40Cover him.
00:59:59You were right, buddy.
01:00:02It was a crazy idea.
01:00:04No, it wasn't.
01:00:06It was a darn good idea.
01:00:10You're...
01:00:11You're all right, son.
01:00:16Thanks,
01:00:18Wendy.
01:00:33Cover that window.
01:00:34I'm going to finish Idaho's job.
01:00:37Not you, Hoppy.
01:00:39This is going to be my pleasure.
01:00:41You got Mary to think about it.
01:00:44Mary?
01:00:46What are you getting at, kid?
01:00:48She likes you best.
01:00:49It don't matter about me.
01:00:50Oh, Johnny.
01:00:52Don't you know Mary and me was only joshing you?
01:00:56Sure we were.
01:01:00Watch him now.
01:01:06Come on, Cassidy.
01:01:12Miss Cassidy, cover him, quick.
01:01:36Look.
01:02:02Look.
01:02:06Mary.
01:02:07The schoolmaster.
01:02:09Come on, boys, we got to get her out of there.
01:02:12Come on, quick.
01:02:17Mary.
01:02:21Johnny.
01:02:29There's your man.
01:02:31Mr. Ridley.
01:02:33Come on.
01:02:35Hoppy.
01:02:36We got to get him out of here.
01:02:47Take it easy now, Hoppy.
01:02:48Everything will be all right.
01:02:55Are you feeling better now, Hoppy?
01:03:02Oh.
01:03:04Yeah, I'm all right now, Buck.
01:03:09You'd better be.
01:03:10I don't want that reward to go breaking.
01:03:15Better give it to the kids here.
01:03:17So they can set up housekeeping.
01:03:20Me and Wendy might want to visit them sometime.
01:03:26You're darn tootin', Hoppy.
01:03:30Hey.
01:03:32You darn faker.
01:03:33You're playing possum.
