00:06:05♪
00:06:11Turn him up again.
00:06:13♪
00:06:18♪
00:06:23It's no use, Libby.
00:06:25I can't find out a thing.
00:06:27The old mule's too stubborn to talk.
00:06:30Sometimes a mule can be coaxed when he can't be driven.
00:06:35♪
00:06:40♪
00:06:45Hello, Piggly.
00:06:47What'd you say?
00:06:48Well, I didn't say anything, Piggly.
00:06:52There goes Lily, going to work.
00:06:55Oh, hello, Miss Lily.
00:06:58I'm awfully happy to hear of your good luck, Piggly.
00:07:01Huh?
00:07:02Oh, yes, have a drink on.
00:07:04Not unless I can buy you one first.
00:07:07Sandy, bring out my private bottle.
00:07:09Yeah, get that private bottle.
00:07:11Well, he might just as well give up his mind right now and get it over with.
00:07:15Uh-huh.
00:07:27I hope you've been smart enough to protect your claim in every way, Piggly.
00:07:31You bet your life I have.
00:07:34Are you sure the location papers are made out properly?
00:07:37You know the description and all?
00:07:40Everything is read out right and proper, all ratified.
00:07:44I always had an idea you could look out for yourself.
00:07:47Yeah, I sure can.
00:07:51But you must be careful.
00:07:53Don't let anyone know where your mine is located until after you've filed.
00:07:59Don't worry, Miss Lily.
00:08:01The location papers are staying right here until after I get to the county seat.
00:08:09Here's to your mine, Piggly.
00:08:11Here's to yours.
00:08:21He's carrying his location map in his money belt.
00:08:24It wouldn't be too bad if he had an accident and lost those papers before he'd had a chance to file them.
00:08:29Yes, wouldn't it?
00:08:31I'll tell Blackie.
00:08:44Well, Bob.
00:08:46They want no sign of his location map on him when they found the body.
00:08:51It's my guess he didn't die accidental, neither.
00:08:55I'm betting he was hit from behind.
00:08:59I'm sure it was no accident.
00:09:04Poor Peg Leg was murdered in cold blood.
00:09:12I'm going to write an editorial right now that'll rouse this town to action.
00:09:16It's time someone did something.
00:09:18Until now, the time has come
00:09:21when the decent citizens of the town of Mesa Grande
00:09:27must band together to stamp out
00:09:31the vicious, lawless element
00:09:34that's a blot on our community.
00:09:38And so says the editor.
00:09:44That ain't all he says.
00:09:46Never mind what else he says, Blackie.
00:09:48If he's so keen on putting law and order into effect, why not elect him town marshal?
00:09:53You've had the job long enough.
00:09:58You heard what Lily said.
00:10:00You all heard what Lily said.
00:10:04All those in favor, say aye.
00:10:10The election is unanimous.
00:10:14Let's go and pin a badge on the new marshal.
00:10:37Three cheers for Sonny, the new marshal!
00:10:43Three cheers for law and order!
00:10:46Come, the Western Rattlers.
00:10:53What is it, Wendy?
00:10:55It's a bunch from a silver slipper.
00:10:57They're coming this way.
00:10:59They must have objected to my last editorial.
00:11:01Oh, yeah?
00:11:05Well, if it's gunplay they're looking for, they're sure going to get it.
00:11:10Put up your gun, Wendy.
00:11:12Sir, let me handle this situation.
00:11:19Gentlemen, what can I do for you?
00:11:22Mr. Saunders, since you appointed yourself chief spokesman for law and order in our fair community,
00:11:28we decided to let you be the law.
00:11:31If any, you are hereby appointed the town marshal.
00:11:37This wasn't your idea, was it, Claiborne?
00:11:39And what if it wasn't?
00:11:41Mr. Totner, it's far too subtle for your intelligence.
00:11:44Very well.
00:11:46Since you've given me the authority, you can tell your boss...
00:11:50Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
00:11:54You keep Lily's name out of this.
00:12:00As I was saying, you tell your boss that law and order shall be brought to me so grandly.
00:12:08If you're figuring on importing outside help, you better tell them to bring their own funeral expenses.
00:12:14We're getting kind of tired of taking up collections to bury deputies.
00:12:19I have work to do, gentlemen. Good day.
00:12:22And so are we.
00:12:24Good day, Mr. Marshal.
00:12:26Good day, sir.
00:12:29Good day.
00:12:33Well, boys, we got a new marshal.
00:12:36Let's celebrate!
00:12:40You gonna let him bluff you? Deputize me and I'll clean him up for you.
00:12:44No, Wendy. We must wait.
00:12:47We must have help.
00:12:49Someone with brains as well as courage.
00:12:52You go bringing in some outsider, it'll be a plain case of suicide.
00:12:56Why, they wouldn't have a chance.
00:12:58I feel sure the man I have in mind can take care of himself.
00:13:02And who might this one-man army be?
00:13:05A gentleman by the name of Hopalong Cassidy.
00:13:10Hoppy!
00:13:13Holy smoke, why didn't I think of him before?
00:13:16Do you know him?
00:13:18Know him? Why, I read and heard with him for years.
00:13:21Learned him everything he knows. Ask him, he'll tell you.
00:13:26I'm wondering whether he'd be willing to leave his home range.
00:13:31I think he will, if I ask.
00:13:34I feel sure.
00:13:36But I won't have to ask him twice.
00:13:39Hoppy.
00:13:52You getting tired, ten to foot?
00:13:54Oh, it's not my feet.
00:13:59Seems like we've been riding for a week.
00:14:01I'm beginning to wonder if there is such a place as Mesa Grande.
00:14:04I didn't want you tagging along in the first place.
00:14:07Think I'm going to let the oldest member of the Cassidy family have all the fun and excitement?
00:14:14After spending all that money on you, putting you through a good school,
00:14:18you wind up acting like an ordinary cowhead.
00:14:21It's not that I don't appreciate what you've done, Bill,
00:14:24but before I settle down, I want to see a little excitement.
00:14:29I was told I'd get plenty of it stringing along with you.
00:14:35Never mind that soft soap. Come on.
00:14:43Hey, ten miles more to go.
00:14:46My stomach's beginning to wonder if I haven't got a grudge against it.
00:14:50I'm going to stop and rest.
00:14:52All right.
00:14:58All right.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:31Are you hurt, ma'am?
00:16:01That was a bad one.
00:16:04I'm all right now.
00:16:06Thanks to you, Mr...
00:16:08Cassidy's the name.
00:16:10No thanks necessary.
00:16:14I'll try to even things up some way if I can, Mr. Cassidy.
00:16:20Are you headed for Mesa Grande?
00:16:22I aim to stay there for a spell.
00:16:25Look me up.
00:16:27Just ask for Louie Marsh at the Crystal Slipper.
00:16:31Thanks.
00:16:34Think you can handle him all right now, ma'am?
00:16:36I'm sure I can.
00:16:45There you are.
00:16:52Hope to see a lot of you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:16:55You can't tell. Maybe you will.
00:16:58Goodbye.
00:17:02Goodbye.
00:17:17Trying to hog everything for yourself?
00:17:19Why didn't you keep her here long enough to introduce me?
00:17:22I figure I'll have enough trouble looking after you...
00:17:25without you getting mixed up with ladies that wear diamonds as big as spur buckles.
00:17:30I'm beginning to see where I might like Mesa Grande after all.
00:17:49Bell back in?
00:17:51Yeah, she's up the ranch.
00:17:54Look.
00:17:56What a nerve and a dirty thieving ruffer.
00:18:00I'll fill him so full of holes he can use him for a gravel screen.
00:18:04What in the world's got into you?
00:18:07That's my saddle.
00:18:09That's the one that was stolen the first night I got in town.
00:18:16Get away from that horse.
00:18:18Not till I get my saddle, I want.
00:18:21Not till I get my saddle, I want.
00:18:23Come on, I can prove it.
00:18:25You ain't gonna prove nothing.
00:18:31I don't allow nobody fingering my things.
00:18:34Move.
00:18:36Go on.
00:18:41Wendy, go on back to the office.
00:18:44Well, it's only because you're asking.
00:18:48When Cassidy comes, I'll get that dirty saddle-stealing polecat.
00:18:55So you're bringing in some sucker from the outside.
00:18:59Think it'll do any good?
00:19:01I'm sure he will.
00:19:03Going to clean us out, huh?
00:19:05Is that what you mean?
00:19:07Exactly.
00:19:08We're going to put a stop to the robbing and murdering.
00:19:12We're going to find out why it is that every prospector who makes a gold strike...
00:19:18...either loses his mind in a crooked gambling game...
00:19:22...or accidentally dies...
00:19:25...before he can file on his claim.
00:19:32Bear that in mind, gentlemen.
00:19:36And act accordingly.
00:19:48I don't like those last remarks.
00:19:51Sounds like he's getting personal.
00:19:53Think I'd better teach him a little lesson?
00:19:56Yeah.
00:19:57He's talking altogether too much.
00:20:17Mary! Mary!
00:20:27Daddy!
00:20:37Hey, how's that for your wife?
00:20:42Daddy!
00:20:45Daddy!
00:20:52Daddy!
00:20:58Daddy!
00:21:03Control yourself.
00:21:04Why doesn't somebody get a doctor?
00:21:06Get the doctor, Jim.
00:21:15I wonder what's happened. Come on!
00:21:27What's the matter here? What happened?
00:21:29Why, Saunders, the newspaper man, got hurt.
00:21:31Saunders?
00:21:32Yes.
00:21:35Cassidy!
00:21:36Gosh, I'm glad to see you.
00:21:38I guess you got here just in time.
00:21:41Bob.
00:21:45I knew you'd come.
00:21:47Poppy, thanks.
00:21:51Buddy, get our saddle blankets. We're carrying home.
00:21:55No use.
00:21:57I think they've finished me.
00:22:03What do you mean? Who did it?
00:22:06I couldn't see.
00:22:08They came up in back of me.
00:22:12I don't think I'd be far wrong in saying
00:22:16it was the same ones who killed Begley.
00:22:22I want you to do one thing for me.
00:22:27Anything you ask, Bob.
00:22:30I want you to help me.
00:22:35I want you to help make this part of the country
00:22:41a fit place for people to live.
00:22:49I'll do my best, Bob.
00:22:56Look after Mary.
00:23:06I love you.
00:23:17I can't help it, Poppy.
00:23:21He gave me a lift when I needed it the most.
00:23:29I know how you feel, old-timer.
00:23:31Yeah.
00:23:32He did about the same for me.
00:23:47Can't you think of anyone that might have had a personal grudge against your father?
00:23:52Might have been anyone in the crowd at the Crystal Slipper.
00:23:55They all disliked him.
00:23:57Did your father ever make a point of mentioning names lately?
00:24:02Yes.
00:24:03Yes, the time he wrote about Peg Leg Holden's death.
00:24:06He said it was strange that Lily Marsh should suddenly discover a rich gold mine
00:24:10the very next day.
00:24:16Who was this Peg Leg Holden?
00:24:19An old prospect whom Dad had grub-staked for years.
00:24:24I suppose your father had an interest in anything that Holden might find.
00:24:29I believe they had some sort of an agreement to that effect.
00:24:33By Cracky Hoppy, I see what you're driving at.
00:24:37Peg Leg Holden showed up at the Crystal Slipper one night, roaring drunk.
00:24:41He was tossing a high-grade ore around like he had all the gold in the world.
00:24:46Next day, he was found dead with his neck broke.
00:24:49There you are, Hoppy.
00:24:50Old Hawkshaw, the detective's got it all figured out for you.
00:24:53Ah, show up your lip, you young squirt.
00:24:56Or I'll take a couple of stitches in it for you.
00:24:59Oh, calm down, you old windbag, before you blow up.
00:25:02Buddy.
00:25:03That's enough.
00:25:07I guess that's all you can tell us, Miss Mary.
00:25:09Thanks for coming over.
00:25:11Buddy, see that Miss Mary gets home safe.
00:25:14Glad to.
00:25:15Maybe I'd better go along with you, Hoppy.
00:25:18See that you don't get lost in the dark.
00:25:20Don't worry about me, Father Time.
00:25:22If I ever need a nursemaid, I won't go to the old people's home to find one.
00:25:25Come on.
00:25:29Brother, no brother, sooner or later I'm going to pin that young whippersnapper's ears back for him.
00:25:35Oh, take it easy, old-timer.
00:25:37He ain't like you and me.
00:25:39He's young.
00:25:40He's got a lot to learn.
00:25:42Maybe he will if we have a little patience with him.
00:25:45Come on, I want to go over to the Crystal Slipper and have a look at those guys.
00:25:53Hey!
00:25:54A new marshal's headed this way.
00:26:00Go on with your play.
00:26:01Keep up that music.
00:26:03Eddie, bring us a cup of drink.
00:26:05Come with you.
00:26:23I smell something.
00:26:49Do you?
00:26:50Yeah.
00:26:51Yeah, must be a pole cat, or the law.
00:27:04Give me a drink, Samuel.
00:27:22Well, Mr. Newtown-Marshall, I suppose you're here for the purpose of making Mesa Grandi a decent place to live in, huh?
00:27:30That's a rough idea, what I'm here for.
00:27:33Gonna make a Sunday school picnic grounds out of the place, ain't ya?
00:27:39Mightn't be a bad idea at that.
00:27:42Thanks for suggesting it.
00:27:51Go ahead and make your speech, mister, and get it over with.
00:27:54I ain't making no speeches, but I'm telling you something.
00:28:00From now on, this town ain't gonna be a healthy spot for them that don't watch their steps.
00:28:08Is that clear?
00:28:14Say, what's going on here?
00:28:21Hello, Mr. Cassidy.
00:28:22Howdy, ma'am.
00:28:23I was hoping you'd show up.
00:28:25Sandy, bring out a bottle of your best wine.
00:28:28This is the man who saved my life today.
00:28:38Here you are, the best in the house.
00:28:41I'm sorry to refuse, ma'am, but I'm not drinking.
00:28:44You didn't have that badge on when I saw you today.
00:28:48I didn't own it then.
00:28:52You're not gonna let that piece of tin keep us from being friends, are you?
00:28:56That's entirely up to you.
00:29:01Then come on and drink with me.
00:29:03I said I wasn't drinking.
00:29:04Now, Lily says you're drinking, you're drinking.
00:29:08I'm not drinking.
00:29:10I'm not drinking.
00:29:12I'm not drinking.
00:29:13I'm not drinking.
00:29:15I'm not drinking.
00:29:27All right, mister.
00:29:29But, so long as I'm drinking, I'd rather have something I like.
00:29:33Give him whatever he wants, Sandy.
00:29:36Give me a tumbler of straight whiskey.
00:29:44You must have a cast-iron stomach.
00:29:51Here's how.
00:29:59Folks that get careless with guns ain't got no right carrying them.
00:30:04Wendy, put that in the jail safe.
00:30:11The next time you or anybody else starts any gunplay in this town, you'll find yourselves
00:30:15cooling off in jail.
00:30:18I figure you all know how I stand on things by now.
00:30:22If anybody's got any objections, they can take it up with me personally.
00:30:26I aim to be around for some time.
00:30:29Good night, ma'am.
00:30:32Good night.
00:30:34Say, look at Lily.
00:30:37She don't know whether to kiss a new marshal or kill him.
00:30:41I wish I had my choice.
00:30:51Put it away.
00:31:01Hey, what's the move with you anyhow?
00:31:04Well, there used to be a time when both of your guns would be out talking before you'd
00:31:08been in a place like that two minutes.
00:31:10I wasn't wearing a badge then.
00:31:12Now things have got to be done legal-like.
00:31:14I ain't doing no shooting unless I have to.
00:31:18Hey, where you headed, kid?
00:31:21In to have some fun.
00:31:23That's one place you're staying out of.
00:31:25Oh, Hop, are you going to begrudge me a little excitement?
00:31:28I got an idea you'll find plenty of it around here without even looking for it.
00:31:31Come on.
00:31:40So the tough boy's going out to get the marshal.
00:31:43Is that the idea?
00:31:49Since when have you started doing things without being told?
00:31:53Better walk softly, Bob.
00:31:56I couldn't afford to lose anybody as valuable as you are.
00:32:00I'll take care of Mr. Cassidy myself.
00:32:03I'm not blind.
00:32:05I know what's happened.
00:32:07You've gone soft on this Cassidy because he saved your life.
00:32:10My, but you're smart.
00:32:12Did you figure that out all by yourself?
00:32:14Yes.
00:32:15And what's more, I...
00:32:16That's enough out of you.
00:32:18You were nothing but a cheap tin horn till I brought you here from Chicago
00:32:21and made something out of you.
00:32:23And remember this.
00:32:24I'm still boss.
00:32:26Yes, I know, Lily.
00:32:28But if we don't get this Cassidy, he'll get us.
00:32:31It means our next or his.
00:32:33And remember, you're in just as deep as the rest of us.
00:32:36Do you have to tell me all that?
00:32:38Don't you worry.
00:32:40I've kept this out of hot water so far
00:32:42and Mr. Cassidy, or no Mr. Cassidy,
00:32:44I'll go right on doing it.
00:32:46If he gets in our way...
00:32:52We heard about you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:32:55And we're willing to do anything you ask.
00:32:58Thanks.
00:32:59I just wanted to know if I could ask you
00:33:01I just wanted to know if the decent folks
00:33:03in the neighborhood of Mesa Grande is willing to back me up.
00:33:06Anything you say.
00:33:07Say, how about starting right now?
00:33:10I'll let you know when we're ready.
00:33:12Might not be so long coming at that.
00:33:14Meanwhile, spread the news around the rest of your friends, will you?
00:33:17Sure will, Marshal.
00:33:19So me and Cassidy's trying to find out
00:33:22if you decent folks is with us in cleaning up Mesa Grande.
00:33:25Well, I don't know if we've got any right mingling in town affairs.
00:33:31All right.
00:33:33If you want to go on tolerating tin horn gamblers
00:33:35that carry six aces in their decks,
00:33:37that's your business.
00:33:38Tell the Marshal I'll back him up.
00:33:40Ain't gonna ring in no codex on me.
00:33:42Leastwise, not anymore.
00:33:44Duton.
00:34:01Up.
00:34:18Come on.
00:34:31Come on.
00:34:33Come on.
00:34:59Come on, get on your feet.
00:35:01Come along.
00:35:06You're under arrest.
00:35:07What for?
00:35:09You guess.
00:35:11I got a right to shoot at anybody that comes around
00:35:13that creates a clip of mine.
00:35:17And I got a right to arrest anybody
00:35:19that shoots from ambush.
00:35:21You ain't got no jurisdiction outside of the city limits
00:35:23on Mesa Grande?
00:35:25There ain't nothing to keep me from hurting you
00:35:27into the city limits and arresting you there.
00:35:29Of course.
00:35:45Who's he shooting at, you or me?
00:35:47Looked to me like it was you.
00:35:49Dagnabbit, Zornary Hyde.
00:35:51I got a half an ocean to take the law in my own hands.
00:35:55In spite of my official position.
00:35:57Well, I can't say it'll more than half flame you, Wendy.
00:35:59But we'd better keep him alive.
00:36:01We might learn something about that mine of Lily's.
00:36:06Cassidy's arrested Dugan.
00:36:08He's got him locked up in the jail.
00:36:10What do you arrest him for?
00:36:12For taking a shot at Wendy.
00:36:14The old fool was riding near the mine.
00:36:18Dugan's none too bright.
00:36:20If he were questioned about the mine,
00:36:22he might accidentally let something drop.
00:36:25Wouldn't it be too bad if something happened to him
00:36:27before he had a chance to talk?
00:36:29Yeah, wouldn't it?
00:36:31I'll tell Blackie.
00:36:55I'll tell Blackie.
00:36:57I'll tell Blackie.
00:37:23Gosh, Hoppy.
00:37:25How'd it happen?
00:37:27Looks like somebody didn't want to be doing their talking.
00:37:31How much longer are you going to let this drag on, Lily?
00:37:33Now Cassidy's getting the ranchers lined up against us.
00:37:37You just finding that out?
00:37:39I knew it yesterday.
00:37:41Well, what are you going to do about it?
00:37:43Sit back and wait until we've all got ropes around our necks?
00:37:45Are you ready to go out and meet Mr. Cassidy face to face
00:37:47with a gun in your hand?
00:37:49Why, it would be easy if you just got him up here.
00:37:51He's too smart to walk into anything like that.
00:37:53But if he ever gets careless...
00:37:55Who's there?
00:37:57Me, ma'am.
00:37:59Cassidy.
00:38:09Get out.
00:38:11I'll take care of this.
00:38:17Come in, Mr. Cassidy.
00:38:19I'll see you later, Bob.
00:38:27Won't you sit down?
00:38:29Thanks.
00:38:35Nice place you got here, ma'am.
00:38:37I'm glad you like it.
00:38:39Is this a business call, Mr. Cassidy, or social?
00:38:41Well, it happens to be business.
00:38:45See, a prisoner of mine was killed yesterday.
00:38:48And I figured you might be able to help me find out who did it.
00:38:54Now, how would I be able to help you, Mr. Cassidy?
00:38:58Well, since he was working for you,
00:39:00I thought you might know somebody
00:39:02that held a grudge against him.
00:39:04Sorry, Mr. Cassidy.
00:39:06I don't know any more about it than you do.
00:39:08There's no harm in asking.
00:39:10It's all right with me.
00:39:14Now, tell me.
00:39:16Nice piece of rock.
00:39:18From your mine?
00:39:22That's some of the first ore
00:39:24we took out of the crystal slipper.
00:39:26There's a lot of gold
00:39:28in that mine, Mr. Cassidy.
00:39:30More than enough for one.
00:39:32You're lucky.
00:39:36If I could find someone I like,
00:39:38someone who had brains and nerve
00:39:40to run that mine for me,
00:39:42he'd be lucky, too.
00:39:44You're rich in no time.
00:39:46You mean, uh...
00:39:48I couldn't have made it much plainer, could I?
00:39:52Sorry, ma'am, I'm not interested.
00:39:54I kind of like my present job.
00:39:56You don't like me, do you?
00:40:00Well, I can't say I exactly dislike you.
00:40:04It's just the business you're in
00:40:06and the folks you string along with.
00:40:10I suppose you think I should give everything up
00:40:12and run away from it all.
00:40:14Never thought of it.
00:40:16But it mightn't be a bad idea at that.
00:40:20And if I don't run away?
00:40:24I don't like making war on women.
00:40:26But I got a job to do.
00:40:30It seems that you and me are lined up on opposite sides.
00:40:32Then I'm afraid it is war
00:40:34between us, Mr. Cassidy.
00:40:36I hope it can be a fair fight.
00:40:38Good luck, Mr. Cassidy.
00:40:40May the best man win.
00:40:42Thanks.
00:40:52I, um...
00:40:54We should think things over, ma'am.
00:40:56Just for your own sake.
00:41:10I was right
00:41:12when I figured you'd gone soft on him.
00:41:16What are you talking about?
00:41:18Cassidy.
00:41:20I just saw him walking out.
00:41:26You see everything, don't you, Bob?
00:41:28Well, why don't you get out of here?
00:41:30I've got a lot of work to do.
00:41:33You see everything, don't you, Bob?
00:41:35Well, why don't you get him while you have the chance?
00:41:37You wouldn't understand if I told you.
00:41:39Then why not?
00:41:41Because you're not a woman.
00:41:43Yes, I get it.
00:41:45You're letting Cassidy make suckers out of all of us
00:41:47because you've fallen for him.
00:41:51Even if I have, I'm no more anxious than you are
00:41:53to spend the rest of my life in jail.
00:41:59We'll get rid of Mr. Cassidy.
00:42:01We'll get rid of Mr. Cassidy.
00:42:03We'll have to.
00:42:07Somehow I'm
00:42:09full enough to almost wish
00:42:11it could be a fair fight.
00:42:15Hey, Benson.
00:42:17Yes, Marshal.
00:42:19Here's a piece of ore from the Crystal Slipper mine.
00:42:21I want you to compare it
00:42:23to that ore Peg Leg Holden's you got in there.
00:42:25I'll check up on it right away.
00:42:27Keep it quiet.
00:42:29Well, hello.
00:42:33I thought you and Buddy were going riding.
00:42:35I'm afraid Buddy feels
00:42:37there are other things more important
00:42:39than going riding.
00:42:41Why, if I was Buddy's age, I couldn't think of
00:42:43anything more important than going riding with you.
00:42:46Did he say what this business was
00:42:48that took him away so sudden?
00:42:50He didn't have to say.
00:42:52I've been looking for you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:42:54Please don't think I'm a tattletale,
00:42:56but I'm afraid Buddy's
00:42:58going to get into trouble.
00:43:00Where is he? What's he doing?
00:43:02Gambling.
00:43:06In there?
00:43:10Now don't you worry about it.
00:43:12We'll soon put a stop to that.
00:43:14Thank you, Mr. Cassidy.
00:43:20Lily or no Lily.
00:43:22We're going to take matters into our own hands.
00:43:24You lay for Cassidy.
00:43:26That's the first chance you get. Let him have it.
00:43:28Can't happen too soon to suit me.
00:43:30All right.
00:43:32They're all the same.
00:43:34All right.
00:43:41That's two and a one.
00:43:43You lose.
00:43:45How about taking my I.O.U. for some more chips?
00:43:47Never mind the I.O.U.
00:43:49Come on, Buddy. We're getting out of here.
00:43:51Oh, Hoppy, I'm just getting lucky.
00:43:53A little while longer and I'll be even.
00:43:56I just need you to stay out of here and that still goes.
00:43:59What's your chance, Blackie?
00:44:01I'm going to start things moving.
00:44:07You better run on, son.
00:44:09Your nursemaid is likely to get mad and spank you
00:44:11if you don't.
00:44:13No one's playing nursemaid to me.
00:44:15I'm over 21 and you and no one else
00:44:17is going to treat me like a baby.
00:44:19Give me some more chips and I'll give you an I.O.U.
00:44:21Come on, get going.
00:44:23Keep your hands off me.
00:44:25And don't you start anything unless you can back it up.
00:44:27I'm backing him up, Mr. Marshall.
00:44:43I'll give you ten minutes to get out of town and stay out.
00:44:47Come on!
00:44:55Come on, kid.
00:44:57You're not going to get away with humiliating me
00:44:59in front of all these people, Mr. Cassidy.
00:45:01You and I are quits.
00:45:03Where are you going?
00:45:05None of your business.
00:45:07Oh, yes, it is.
00:45:09What are you going to do about it?
00:45:11I'm going to let you cool off in jail for a while.
00:45:15Well, I guess there's no use resisting, Mr. Marshall,
00:45:17as long as you're wearing that tin badge.
00:45:19When they get Buddy's things together,
00:45:21I'm shipping him home.
00:45:23Oh, go easy on him, Hoppy.
00:45:25He ain't like you and me.
00:45:27He's just a kid.
00:45:29He'll be all right if we have a little patience with him.
00:45:31I don't know.
00:45:33He might be pretty hard to handle.
00:45:35Well, so was you when you was his age.
00:45:37Times when I felt like taking a poke at you myself.
00:45:39You just leave him to me.
00:45:41I'll take care of him.
00:45:43I'll take care of him.
00:45:45I'll take care of him.
00:45:47Well, you just leave him to me.
00:45:49I'll bring him around all right.
00:45:51Kind of like him a little bit yourself, don't you?
00:45:55Oh, I guess so.
00:45:57Yes.
00:45:59Yes, it is.
00:46:01Well, you better leave him in there.
00:46:03Might do him good.
00:46:13And if he's hungry, get him something to eat.
00:46:17Here.
00:46:27There.
00:46:29That's got you right twixt the eyes.
00:46:31Oh, Wendy, may I come in?
00:46:33Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:46:35Come right in.
00:46:37Come right in.
00:46:39For me?
00:46:41Oh, no, that's for Betty.
00:46:43I just heard he's been locked up.
00:46:45Too bad, Miss Mary,
00:46:47but ain't nobody allowed to see the prisoners.
00:46:49But I'll give it to him.
00:46:51Thanks, Wendy.
00:46:54Here.
00:47:14Son,
00:47:16why don't you try squaring yourself with Hoppy?
00:47:18What for?
00:47:20Was he who humiliated me?
00:47:22Well, it's your own fault, isn't it?
00:47:24Brother or no brother,
00:47:26you'll learn it ain't in the cards
00:47:28to shoot off your lip to hop along Cassidy.
00:47:30Well, he did it
00:47:32just to show off.
00:47:34Why, you had a dag-nab digger
00:47:36in Jerilyn.
00:47:38He done it to keep you out of trouble.
00:47:40Why, if anything had happened to you,
00:47:42he'd never forgive himself.
00:47:44He's got a mighty funny way of showing
00:47:46his affection.
00:47:48Well, maybe he has, according to your likes.
00:47:50But if you live long enough,
00:47:52you'll learn that he thinks more of you
00:47:54than anything in the whole world.
00:47:56Why,
00:47:58I guess maybe
00:48:00I was a little out of line with him, Wendy.
00:48:02Yeah.
00:48:04I'm beginning to see things more clearly.
00:48:06Yeah, maybe that
00:48:08humiliated...
00:48:10Well, maybe he done you some good after all.
00:48:12Ha, ha, ha.
00:48:18Marshal.
00:48:20Yeah.
00:48:22I checked on these two pieces of board
00:48:24and I say they both came from the same vein.
00:48:29Would you be willing to swear to that in the court of law?
00:48:31Why, of course.
00:48:33And if need be, I could find ten other assayers
00:48:35that'd back up my statement.
00:48:37I expect to be needing your testimony
00:48:39right soon.
00:48:41Thanks.
00:48:43Good night, Marshal.
00:48:51Hey.
00:48:53That reminds me.
00:48:55How about feeding the horses?
00:48:57Forgot all about it.
00:48:59Take care of it right away, Hoppy.
00:49:02Hey, Wendy.
00:49:04Come here, will ya?
00:49:11What do you want?
00:49:14I wanted a drink of water, but
00:49:16never mind bothering.
00:49:18Get it yourself.
00:49:32Wendy just told me
00:49:34a couple of things I never learned in school, Hoppy.
00:49:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:49:38Oh, forget about it, kid.
00:49:40Well, what's the idea?
00:49:42Evidence.
00:49:44Them two little pieces of rock
00:49:46might turn the trick for us.
00:49:48Oh, yeah?
00:49:50Yeah.
00:49:52Well, let's go.
00:49:54Come on.
00:49:56Come on.
00:49:58Come on.
00:50:00Come on.
00:50:02Come on.
00:50:04Come on.
00:50:06Come on.
00:50:08Those little pieces of rock
00:50:10might turn the trick for us, son.
00:50:12Looks like you're gonna have a wholesale
00:50:14lot of lynchings on your hands.
00:50:16Oh, no, we're not.
00:50:18Any prisoners we get are gonna be
00:50:20taken right over to the county seat
00:50:22and get a fair trial by an honest jury.
00:50:26Hey, Wendy.
00:50:28Better get them guns clean, too.
00:50:38Hey, Pete.
00:50:40Think you can put some links in these for me?
00:50:42Sure can.
00:50:44Expect to be using them soon, Marshal?
00:50:46Before the day is over.
00:50:50Fixing right away for you, Marshal.
00:50:52Safety ready, Pete?
00:50:54Yeah. That shoe will stay on this time, I think.
00:50:56Thanks.
00:50:58If you weren't so busy enforcing
00:51:00law and order here in town, Mr. Cassidy,
00:51:02I'd invite you to ride out to my ranch with me.
00:51:08So long as you're headed out of town,
00:51:10it might be wise to keep right on going.
00:51:14Are you advising or ordering?
00:51:18Advising.
00:51:20I told you I didn't like the idea
00:51:22of making war on women.
00:51:28Help me up, please.
00:51:32I'm not interested in either your advice
00:51:34or your order.
00:51:36Lily Marsh never runs away from anything.
00:51:38Or anybody.
00:51:42Besides, if I were to leave,
00:51:44who'd look after you?
00:51:51Buck, I'm taking things over.
00:51:53What's the idea?
00:51:55Well, since Blackie's run out on us,
00:51:57it looks like Billy's getting ready
00:51:59to double-cross us with the Marshal.
00:52:01Are you going to back me up?
00:52:03I never liked the idea of taking orders from women.
00:52:05That's all I wanted to know.
00:52:07Take that money and go.
00:52:09I won't. I saw you do it from the bottom.
00:52:11What's the matter, you?
00:52:13Can't you stand losing a little money without crying about it?
00:52:15Yes, but I won't stand for having it stolen.
00:52:17You can't get away with that kind of talking here.
00:52:25This town's going to wake up someday
00:52:27and you tin horns are going to find yourselves
00:52:29with ropes around your necks.
00:52:31It won't be you who does it.
00:52:34Don't draw, Claiborne.
00:52:41Come here.
00:52:50I told you the next time a man
00:52:52got careless handling a firearm,
00:52:54he'd be thrown in jail.
00:52:56Move.
00:52:58Come on.
00:53:04Cassidy's got Claiborne.
00:53:08I've been waiting for this chance
00:53:10for a long time.
00:53:12Me, too.
00:53:14Charlie, get a rope.
00:53:16Boys, this is only the start.
00:53:20Boy, let's take this job off the Marshal's hands.
00:53:22I knew they'd get it made
00:53:24if we waited long enough.
00:53:28What do you aim to do with that?
00:53:30Go on and string him up.
00:53:32If you want to file any charges against him,
00:53:34you'll be held for trial.
00:53:36We ain't gonna wait for no trial.
00:53:38We're taking matters into our own hands.
00:53:40This rat killed my buddy.
00:53:42Listen, men.
00:53:44You wanted law and order in this town
00:53:46and you're gonna get it.
00:53:48Now go on about your business.
00:53:50We don't like going against you, Marshal,
00:53:52but we're taking care of this little matter.
00:53:54If you won't give up your prisoner,
00:53:56we'll have to take him.
00:53:58Paying's too good for him.
00:54:00You can't stand off the whole town alone.
00:54:02Who says he has to do it alone?
00:54:06Come on, there.
00:54:08Open up.
00:54:10He said open up, didn't he?
00:54:30Hey, Hoppy.
00:54:32Yeah?
00:54:34Where do you keep the shells for these guns?
00:54:36You mean you was running a bluff?
00:54:38Well, I had to. Couldn't find the shells.
00:54:40You'll do all right.
00:54:46You're just plain yellow.
00:54:48Cassidy told you to run and you ran.
00:54:50Yeah, he had the drop on me.
00:54:52I can't use anybody
00:54:54who lets himself be run out.
00:54:56We're through.
00:54:58Oh, no.
00:55:00No, we're not.
00:55:02What about my share in the mine
00:55:04and everything else?
00:55:06Looks like the Marshal's gonna keep you from collecting.
00:55:08That's what you think.
00:55:10What are you gonna do about it?
00:55:12I'm coming in tonight.
00:55:14Cassidy or nobody else is gonna run me out of town.
00:55:16I wish I could believe
00:55:18you had the nerve.
00:55:20Watch and see.
00:55:22Too bad they put a woman
00:55:24in a jail like that.
00:55:28I guess you'll be safe, though.
00:55:30I don't reckon they'll try
00:55:32to stop you from talking
00:55:34like they did Dugan.
00:55:36Cassidy!
00:55:38Don't leave me here!
00:55:40They'll...
00:55:42They'll what?
00:55:44Nothing.
00:55:46If you got something to say,
00:55:48go on.
00:55:51If you got something to say,
00:55:53go on and say it.
00:55:55I've got nothing to say.
00:55:57Too bad Lily Marsh
00:55:59didn't feel the same way about things.
00:56:01What did that dirty double-crosser tell you?
00:56:03I kind of gathered
00:56:05that you were in on the killing
00:56:07of Peg Leg Holden and Bob Sounder.
00:56:09She's lying.
00:56:11She's just trying to get rid of me.
00:56:13Maybe so.
00:56:15I hope the news don't get around.
00:56:17The town might decide to go on
00:56:19She's lying, I tell you.
00:56:21It wasn't me who killed Sounders and Holden.
00:56:23It was Blackie.
00:56:27You promised you wouldn't let him string me up.
00:56:29Don't let him get me, Cassidy.
00:56:33Too bad we don't know where
00:56:35Big Blackie's hiding out.
00:56:37If I had him to chase after,
00:56:39they might forget about you.
00:56:41I'll tell you.
00:56:43I'll tell you where he is.
00:56:45Behind us.
00:56:47Up at the Crystal Slip of mine.
00:56:53Hey, Wendy.
00:56:55You missed all the fun.
00:56:57What happened?
00:56:59Well, we're ready to start the round-up.
00:57:01Wendy, you'd better spread the word
00:57:03around to the ranchers.
00:57:05They're heading for town.
00:57:07You're dead tootin'.
00:57:17Hit the trail to town, men.
00:57:19Cassidy's ready to smoke out
00:57:21that silver slipper out of him.
00:57:25Hit the town as fast as you can, boys.
00:57:27Cassidy's starting the round-up.
00:57:35Cassidy ready for you, fellas.
00:57:37Head for town.
00:57:39All right, boys, get your arse in.
00:57:41Let's get going.
00:57:47Good work, Wendy.
00:57:49Oh, yeah.
00:57:51It's always depending on me.
00:57:53Well, let's go.
00:57:55Let's go.
00:57:57Let's go.
00:57:59Let's go.
00:58:01Let's go.
00:58:03Let's go.
00:58:05Let's go.
00:58:07Let's go.
00:58:09Let's go.
00:58:11Let's go.
00:58:13Let's go.
00:58:15It's always depending on me.
00:58:17We're ready for your orders, Marshal.
00:58:19Thanks.
00:58:21I need four men to stay here
00:58:23and guard the jail.
00:58:25Tex, that's your job.
00:58:29Looks like poison to me.
00:58:31Me too.
00:58:33Six men ought to be enough
00:58:35to take care of them rustlers
00:58:37out of Lily Marshal's ranch.
00:58:39I ought to take over that job, Marshal.
00:58:41Come on, boys.
00:58:43Let's head for the mine.
00:58:45If they follow us up there,
00:58:47we'll give them some of their own poison.
00:58:49The rest of us will ride out the crystal slipper mine.
00:58:51Better get some shells.
00:58:55Get going.
00:58:59Hey, put that gun up, kid.
00:59:01You don't belong in this kind of a ruckus.
00:59:07You're gonna do just what I tell you.
00:59:09You're sticking right here.
00:59:13That's right.
00:59:15Think we're gonna have time to ride a herd
00:59:17on a fat-headed yearling like you?
00:59:19Since it's you who's giving orders, Methuselah,
00:59:21I guess I'll have to obey.
00:59:28All right, let's go.
00:59:43Let's go.
01:00:13Let's go.
01:00:43Spread out and cover them.
01:01:13I don't have it.
01:01:19Take cover, boys.
01:01:43You give the word, Cassidy, and we'll rush them.
01:01:45It'll cost us too many men to go in head on.
01:01:47You stay down here.
01:01:49Wendy and me will do a little scouting around.
01:01:51We might be able to get in from the back.
01:01:53Come on.
01:02:13My gun was loaded that time, hubby.
01:02:15That's Buddy.
01:02:23Take him out there and tie him up.
01:02:29Get the rope.
01:02:43Get on his arms.
01:02:46What do you aim to do with me?
01:02:48Make that brother of yours come to time.
01:02:51Come on, get going.
01:02:54Get down in there.
01:02:59Are you surrendering?
01:03:01Surrendering nothing.
01:03:03Tell Cassidy to call off his men
01:03:05and give us 24 hours' guard
01:03:07or he can kiss his baby brother goodbye.
01:03:09Tell Hoppy for me that if he backs out now,
01:03:11he's no Cassidy.
01:03:14You'd better do what Buck says, Hoppy.
01:03:16I've got to do what the kid says.
01:03:18Even if we pulled out now, I wouldn't trust Buck.
01:03:20You'd better get back.
01:03:22I'm going up alone.
01:03:24As long as I can crawl after you, I won't.
01:03:29We can't let him get away with that.
01:03:31Tell Cassidy he's got just two minutes left to decide.
01:03:35Give me a knife.
01:03:38Well, here goes one Cassidy we don't have to worry about.
01:03:44Pick him up.
01:03:52All right, get the guns, Wendy.
01:03:56Get the guns.
01:03:58Get the guns.
01:04:00Get the guns.
01:04:02Get the guns, Wendy.
01:04:08Give me that gun.
01:04:10Come on, Wendy.
01:04:12Come on, get over here.
01:04:14All of you.
01:04:16Keep them covered, Wendy.
01:04:24Look, Cassidy's got them.
01:04:33You all right, kid?
01:04:35Yeah, I guess so.
01:04:37All right, Wendy, cut him loose.
01:04:41Maybe we'd better keep the young squirt tied up.
01:04:44Might keep him out of trouble.
01:04:46Least wise we'd get back to town.
01:05:03Are you sure you don't want some of the boys to stand by, Marshal?
01:05:07No, thanks.
01:05:09We can take care of herding the prisoners over to the county seat in the morning.
01:05:13Yeah, you're darn stupid.
01:05:15Well, good night, Marshal.
01:05:17Good night, Davis, and thanks.
01:05:19Come on, fella.
01:05:32Come on.
01:06:03Give me a whiskey, Sandy.
01:06:22You've got more nerve than I thought you had.
01:06:24I'm not nervous.
01:06:26I'm not nervous.
01:06:28I'm not nervous.
01:06:30You've got more nerve than I thought you had.
01:06:32There are lots of things you never thought.
01:06:35You made a mistake coming back to town.
01:06:38Looks like we're finished.
01:06:40The boys at the mine are cleaned out.
01:06:42Claiborne's in jail.
01:06:45Cassidy's holding all the aces.
01:06:47All of the aces.
01:06:49And the joker, Claiborne.
01:06:53With Cassidy out of the way, we won't have to worry about anybody else.
01:06:58Will we?
01:07:02No.
01:07:04No, we never had to before, did we?
01:07:09Hey, Jack.
01:07:12You tell Cassidy from me that if he's half the man he thinks he is, I'll be here waiting.
01:07:29I didn't think you had it in you.
01:07:47Well, we kind of saved each other's necks today, didn't we, kid?
01:07:53Marshal, I've got a message for you.
01:07:55Go ahead.
01:07:56Blackie's back in town.
01:07:58Where is he?
01:07:59He said he'd be at the Crystal Slipper for you to come and gun him if you felt lucky.
01:08:03Well, tell him I feel lucky.
01:08:05I'm going with you, Hoppy.
01:08:07I want to have a little talk with Blackie Michelle about my shadow.
01:08:10Nobody's going with me.
01:08:12This business I got with Blackie Felton is personal.
01:08:27What's the matter? You backing down?
01:08:30I thought you'd be out in the street gunning for Cassidy by this time.
01:08:34Yeah.
01:08:36There's more in one way of skinning a cat.
01:08:42Why, you yeller.
01:08:44I knew you didn't have the nerve to meet him face to face.
01:08:47Keep your mouth shut!
01:08:50This time it's my play.
01:08:54Put up that gun!
01:08:56Look out, Cassidy!
01:09:23GUNSHOT
01:09:53GUNSHOT
01:10:12Take it easy, ma'am.
01:10:14I'll get the doctor.
01:10:16Don't leave me.
01:10:19Doctor can't do any good now.
01:10:23Sure he can.
01:10:25You'll be all right.
01:10:28Too late.
01:10:34I've been wanting to even my score with you, Mr. Cassidy.
01:10:39I guess I have, haven't I?
01:10:42You've more than evened it.
01:10:46Somehow you...
01:10:48You make me wish I'd met you ten years sooner.
01:10:52Just knowing you's made me want to do so many things I...
01:10:58I'd forgotten how to do.
01:11:05I knew you had a decent streak in you somewhere.
01:11:09That's why I wanted to give you a chance.
01:11:12I don't suppose I'll have much use for anything where I'm going.
01:11:18Least of all a gold mine.
01:11:22You see that Mary Saunders gets the crystal slipper.
01:11:26It's hers by rights anyway.
01:11:31Strange.
01:11:34Strange, isn't it?
01:11:37Strange.
01:11:40Strange, we never do the right things until...
01:11:45Until it's too late.
01:11:53Something I've been wanting you to do, Mr. Cassidy.
01:11:58More than anything else in the world.
01:12:03Wouldn't be asking too much if...
01:12:08If I asked you to kiss me.
01:12:33I kind of figured the kid didn't want to be trailing back home with us.
01:12:37I guess it was Mary that changed his mind, huh?
01:12:44Some women folks have a way of changing a man's mind without him even knowing it.
01:12:49Funny, ain't it?
01:12:51Yeah. Ain't it?
01:12:54Funny, ain't it?
01:12:57Funny, ain't it?
01:13:00Ain't it?
