08:02Didn't need any company Jeff. I
08:05Suppose dad told you he'd sent for another foreman
08:08What do you mean? I haven't seen your dad
08:12Why should he want a new foreman?
08:14Dad will explain all that. Hold on in I thought you and I were gonna get married someday. I wanted you
08:21Oh, no, you didn't you wanted the Gilbert ranch and you thought that marrying me was the easiest way to get it
08:28Oh now listen and you and your dad have got me all wrong

09:41Your father must have a visitor since when are you afraid of strangers?
10:11I
10:35Found like this not three minutes ago
10:38Don't move stranger, I'll drill you
10:50You got me all wrong folks, I didn't do this job get over against the wall over there
11:00And face it
11:07I
11:17Want to shut fire
11:19And you didn't do this job a that shot was fired an hour ago on the road
11:23I can prove that you'll get a chance to prove it
11:27Don't move
11:29And how much money was in the safe? Oh, I don't know several hundred dollars
11:38And
11:42Hold this gun on him while I search you
11:56I didn't do it. Miss Gilbert. You'll find I'm telling the truth. Shut up turn it off
12:07And I suppose this money just crept into your pocket while you were looking around
12:13Either that or it was just put in my pocket
12:16Don't lie. You killed him
12:18If you were to shoot him now
12:21Any court in the world would turn you loose
12:32No, tell upon the sheriff Jeff
12:38But I don't want to hurt you
12:52Sheriff's office operator and make it snappy keep your hands where they are
13:02One answer
13:07a. Hello
13:15Sheriff. What that I've got it yes sir we've got the man
13:22come around. And I'm going to. Thank you all but come on.
13:26A.
13:36Yeah. I can't.
13:45Let go of all of you got any trouble.
13:56A.
14:01.
14:06.
14:11.
14:16.
14:21.
14:24.
14:29.
14:30.
14:31.
14:32.
14:33.
14:34.
14:35Take care of this money and bring me a roll. You can get away with this thing.
14:43You put that money my pocket and I expect you shot Gilbert. That'll sound fine when
14:48you tell it in court.
14:54It'll sound better when Galper tells it.
14:57He just moved.
15:24Stand where you are.
15:31I'm sorry, I have to go, Miss Galpert.
15:44I didn't kill your father.
15:45I can't prove it if I'm locked up.
15:50If you take another step, I'll shoot.
15:53I don't believe it.
16:08I'm sorry.
16:09I'll come back and explain.
16:10You fool.
16:11Why didn't you shoot me?
16:42Well, that's sure a nice shooting.
17:01I'm glad he shot the tyrant instead of me.
17:10Well, you can just start changing it to show how grateful you are.
17:13Oh, Chuck, I'm always getting in for the hard work.
17:17Well, I don't know what we can do now.
17:20Well, I guess that's as close as we can make it.
17:24My boys haven't been able to find any clues.
17:27He's probably a long ways off by now.
17:29I'm not so sure of that.
17:32He told Ann Galpert he was coming back.
17:34Did you learn anything?
17:37Not a thing.
17:39I stopped out at the Gilbert place and I saw Ann.
17:42She's got Miss Barnes to stay with until she sells the place.
17:45I don't think Ann aims to sell.
17:48We mean to get married just as soon as it's decent after the death of her father.
17:53See you later.
17:54All right, Fran.
18:00That's a break for Jesse Brand and the old man kicking off.
18:03Gilbert didn't approve of Jesse.
18:05Yeah, but it's a tough break for Ann.
18:08Property will probably go over the card table the same as Branch did.
18:39What do you have, mister?
18:42A little information.
18:44I'm looking for a traveling doctor in the name of Matthew.
18:49You mean old Dr. Kiro?
18:51That's right.
18:52Listen, mister, if you're sick, you better let me prescribe for you, not him.
18:56I don't want his medicine.
18:57I want Doc himself.
18:58Where is he?
18:59Most likely working the righteous hereabouts.
19:01He'll probably be in sometime tonight.
19:06Stick around.
19:07Maybe you'll see him.
19:08Nope, I'll be moving.
19:10I might meet up with him on the road.
19:12Much obliged.
19:16I'll be moving.
19:17I might meet up with him on the road.
19:19Much obliged.
19:47Him, the killer?
19:48Listen, Gopi, he was.
19:50Do you think he'd come walking right in among us?
19:54A couple of more drinks and he'll think you've collected the reward.
20:00It might be me or a couple of other fellows.
20:31Friends, I'm here tonight to introduce to you this marvel of modern medicine.
20:36To science.
20:37This certain panacea for all aches and pains, coughs and colds.
20:41Hey, Doc!
20:42Why don't you try it on your own cold?
20:47Now, my little friend suggests that I try this marvelous remedy for my own slight ills.
20:53I will hasten to do so.
21:01Hold it!
21:02Hold it, Doc!
21:03Hold it!
21:04Look at this!
21:05Look at this!
21:12My name is Professor Jeremiah Matthews.
21:16P-D-L-L-M-D and P-U.
21:22I came from a family famous for its longevity.
21:26My father died at the age of 106.
21:29My father died at 136.
21:32Preposterous!
21:34Incredible!
21:36136.
21:38Sure!
21:39136 Main Street!
21:45Young man, another joke like that under you and I'll punch you in the nose.
21:49All right, Doc, give it a shot.
21:52He's got to get it on.
21:54Gentlemen, you flatter me.
21:56As a singer, I'm a novice.
21:59But as a professor of medicine, I have no fear.
22:05Which one is the dummy?
22:09Come on, let's have that encore, come on.
22:14Gentlemen, I bow to the will of my public.
22:25There, I brought you a hot cup of tea.
22:27Thank you, Mrs. Barnes.
22:29That was very thoughtful of you.
22:32Oh, you may go to bed now.
22:34I don't want anything more.
22:35You better go, too.
22:36It doesn't do any good to sit here and think about...
22:38I'm going pretty soon.
22:39Good night.

24:17Good night.
24:18Good night.
24:19Good night.
24:20How shall I say that I care to hear?
24:21I must talk to you.
24:23I'm Tom Reyburn.
24:24This letter from your father came to me through an employment agency.
24:32It offers me a good job as foreman.
24:36Do I look as though it killed a man that offered it?
24:39There was the money in the safe.
24:41Not good enough.
24:43A man that killed your father had a stronger motive than that.
24:47What do you mean?
24:48The man you called, yes.
24:50What would he have to gain in the event of your father's death?
24:53But I saw him take the money from your pocket.
24:56Easy enough for a man that's clever with his fingers.
24:59Does this man, by any chance, play cards?
25:03Why, why, yes. He plays.
25:06Quite a lot, I imagine.
25:07He could palm that money as easily as he palms a deck of cards.
25:11I had no reason to kill your father.
25:14What about this man, Jess?
25:18I will listen to what you have to say, Mr. Rayburn.
25:21Sit down, please.
25:28There was a single shot fired from your gun.
25:31That's right.
25:32And if I can find this man who saw me fire that shot,
25:35I can prove I was here only a minute before you came.
25:46And now, gentlemen,
25:48P.U.
26:05Gentlemen, allow me to offer you a bottle of P.U.
26:08Brian!
26:16Hello, Brian.
26:17Hello, Jeff.
26:21Any news of the killer?
26:31Why have you got such a grudge against that guy?
26:33He's done you a big favor.
26:35Left you a clear appeal to marry the girl and all of her money.
26:38I ain't so sure of that.
26:40He aims to make trouble.
26:42Said he'd be back.
26:44Share with him if he does.
26:46I'll get him myself.
26:50Oh, that's it, is it?
26:54Ah, my friend.
26:56You're the man who so boldly fought the killer.
26:59I've been waiting to meet you,
27:00to offer you the benefits of P.U.
27:03Run along. I'm busy.
27:05Ah, but you're not too busy to guard your health
27:08against the insidious inroads of disease.
27:10Not too busy to...
27:12I said I was busy.
27:18On second thought, I'm afraid that cure-all
27:20would not be beneficent in your case.
27:23I...
27:24Thank you, gentlemen.
27:34It's a lowdown on this thing, Brad.
27:36It's like I told you.
27:44Come on, have a drink.
27:46I'll tell you outside.
27:50Set him up.
28:04I'll have a little of the same, thank you.
28:15Again, I thank you.
28:22Who ordered that drink?
28:23Why, you did, Brad.
28:25You sure did.
28:26I heard you.
28:34Let's get out of here.
28:39Those are the facts, Miss Galbert.
28:40There's enough evidence to hang me,
28:42if it isn't believed.
28:45I believe you.
28:46But no one else will.
28:48Well, you shouldn't have come back here.
28:50I told you I'd come back and explain.
28:52Anyhow, no one had seen me close by except Brad.
28:56And this is the right place they'd expect to find me.
28:59I've got to go into Lone Jack
29:00and see if I can find that patent medicine man.
29:02You can't go into town.
29:04They have a description of you.
29:06I've seen that.
29:07Except for the clothes, it might be any big man.
29:11The clothes, yes.
29:15Wait.
29:33These are some things of my father's.
29:36You do believe in me, then.
29:38Do you think I'd let you wear Dad's things
29:40if I thought you had killed him?
29:45And you can be sure of this, too.
29:47I won't run away until the right man is caught.
29:50Good night.
29:51Good night.
30:02Good night.
30:21What do you have, Doc?
30:23This is the most marvelous medicine
30:27the beneficent have ever known.
30:45Doc?
30:53Hey, Doc.
30:54Doc.
30:55You know, it is the marvel of the age
30:58that the beneficent have ever known.
31:00Hey, Doc.
31:01Doc.
31:23Oh, hello.
31:26You're the gentleman who used this gun so accurately, huh?
31:32I'm glad you remember me.
31:34I'm going to need your help.
31:38I'm risking my neck in coming here.
31:43You?
31:44You're the murderer they're looking for?
31:48I'm not the killer.
31:49I'm the man they're looking for.
31:51You can help me prove my innocence.
31:54Well, how can I help?
31:56If you shot at a man,
31:58you certainly didn't miss him.
32:01I'll explain what I want.
32:03But we'll have to find some other place to talk
32:05if you'll meet me somewhere outside.
32:22Settle down.
32:32Don't move, stranger!
32:34What happened?
32:36What is it?
32:38This is the killer of Hank Gelber.
32:42Drop that gun!
32:51Drop it!
33:02Wait!
33:12Our job's done.
33:14What do you mean?
33:15He was talking to that quack doctor.
33:18Let's find out what he knows about this.
33:25What a bunch of folks we were.
33:27Right here in the office.
33:32You, Doc.
33:33What do you know about that killer?
33:35Killer?
33:37You mean the gentleman who just departed from here so hastily?
33:41Don't stall.
33:42Who is he?
33:43Where did you meet him?
33:45And when?
33:46The old crossroads.
33:48Five miles north, four days ago at about...
33:50Never mind the time.
33:52We're not interested.
33:54It isn't healthy to be seen talking to murderers around here.
33:58Do you think cure-all is good for hemp fever?
34:03Well, perhaps not.
34:05At any rate,
34:07I had made up my mind to depart from your charming city tomorrow morning.
34:12See that you do.
34:13And don't come back.
34:19And good evening, gentlemen.
34:27A little bourbon.
34:30Hey.
34:33I wouldn't let that fella get away if I was you.
34:37He isn't going to get away.
34:46He's coming.
35:17Good morning, gentlemen.
35:19Is there someone in in town that you sent for me at this early hour?
35:23Somebody's going to be mighty sick if you try any of your funny tricks.
35:27Start your car and drive slow.
35:30Sir, there must be some mistake, I assure you.
35:33Are you going to move?
35:37Yes, sir, I was just going to.
35:40Yes, sir, I was just going to.
36:10All right. Stop your car.
36:31And get out.
36:34All right.
37:04Come on, in the shack.
37:29Sit down.
37:35Thanks.
37:36I was just going to.
37:42Nice place you have around here.
37:44Now, what can I do for you, gentlemen?
38:12What was that man's name you were talking to in town?
38:14In town?
38:15In town?
38:16Oh, uh, Chicago State Farm in the afternoon.
38:17In the saloon last night.
38:19Oh, in the saloon, huh?
38:22Let me think.
38:24Hmm?
38:25Rayburn.
38:26Mr. Rayburn, I believe.
38:27Tom Rayburn.
38:31That's an affidavit for you to sign,
38:33but you'll find it impossible to be present at Rayburn's trial.
38:37Well, I could come back.
38:39I'm afraid not.
38:41Sign it.
39:09The time isn't quite correct.
39:26It was at least an hour later that I met this gentleman
39:29because I looked at my watch.
39:31Sign it.
40:02Wow.
40:11Come on, sit.
40:31Come on, sit.
41:00Come on, sit.
41:30Has Jeff Brand been here this morning?
41:32Not him, but no one counts.
41:35After a killing in this house,
41:36he lets us unprotected women stay alone
41:38while he carouses in town.
41:54What's the matter?
41:55Did you see something?
41:56Oh, no.
41:57I just remembered
41:58that I have to feed the horses since I've let the men go.
42:19You shouldn't have come here by daylight.
42:21Did you learn anything?
42:22Plenty.
42:23Brand got ahold of my witness
42:25What makes you so all fired sure that fella's coming back here?
42:40He was here last night.
42:42When he came into the saloon,
42:43he was wearing Gilbert's clothes.
42:46You think he's convinced the girl?
42:48That's what I aim to find out.
42:50If I'm not back here shortly,
42:52come and look for me.
42:58Stay hidden.
42:59I'll get you something to eat.
43:01If Matthew comes, I'll bring him here.
43:12It's Jeff Brand.
43:14That's too bad.
43:16I'm not quite ready for a showdown.
43:21Wait.
43:23He can't know that you're here.
43:25I'll see if I can get rid of him.
43:41Good morning, Ann.
43:43Sorry I'm late.
43:45That killer was in town last night.
43:47Did you know that?
43:50It doesn't matter about your being late.
43:52I'm letting the men go.
43:54Come inside and get your money.
43:56Listen, Ann.
43:58You shouldn't sell the ranch.
44:00I thought that you and I...
44:01I told you it was over.
44:32I thought maybe he'd come back here.
44:36It doesn't seem likely that he would.
44:46Why not?
44:50He was after that money.
44:52He'd have to be pretty cold-blooded, wouldn't he?
44:56To come back to the room where he shot a helpless old man.
45:08Oh, I'm sorry.
45:11Was this your father's hat?
45:13I found it near the room and I...
45:16I'll look at it later, Mrs. Barnes.
45:18I'm busy just now.
45:20Yes, ma'am.
45:25Who is it?
45:35Who?
45:37T.R.
45:40Doesn't belong to anyone on this place.
45:42Where have you hidden him?
45:43Hidden who?
45:44The man who killed your father.
45:46Oh, I...
45:47Don't lie to me.
45:48He's been here.
45:49Giving you some cock and bull story.
45:50Made you believe he was innocent.
45:52Where is he?
45:53Don't be a fool, Jess.
45:55He's not in this house.
45:57Not in the house, huh?
45:58What were you doing out at the bar a few minutes ago?
46:00Do I have to explain all my actions to you?
46:03You can do your explaining after I've smoked him out into the open.
46:09Hello, Brian.
46:11Thanks for the hat.
46:12I wondered where I dropped it.
46:14You're not going anywhere, are you?
46:18Keep your hand away from that gun or you might get hurt.
46:22Sit down.
46:26Sit down, Miss Galbert.
46:29Glad you dropped in, Brand.
46:32I'm expecting a man here shortly who wants to tell Miss Galbert
46:35just where I was at the time her father was shot.
46:39Meanwhile, you might tell us where you were about that time.
46:42I was in town.
46:45Ann knows that.
46:49I know you said you were in town.
46:52You met me on the road within a quarter of a mile from here.
46:57What is this, a frame-up?
46:59You know we caught this man.
47:01Here, red-handed.
47:03Maybe we'd better...
47:18A quack doctor just drove up.
47:20Maybe we'd better go over and give it a look.
47:24You can't will his killing on me.
47:55I beg your pardon.
47:57I trust I'm not interrupting.
47:59Commander, thank you.
48:02This is Miss Galbert, Matthews.
48:05I guess you've seen Brand before.
48:08Yes, I've had the pleasure.
48:11I want you to tell these folks when and where you first met me
48:14and how there happened to be a shot fired from my gun.
48:18I first had the pleasure of meeting this young man
48:22about two o'clock in the afternoon four days ago.
48:41Would you...
48:43Could you...
48:44Would you mind removing that gentleman's gun before I proceed?
48:53Aye, thank you.
48:56Now, as I was saying, if...
49:08Now, it would have taken him at least half hour to reach this place.
49:13Well, who's to say what time he got here?
49:16Are you going to take the word of this peddling quack against mine?
49:21If Hank Gilbert could only speak.
49:23I am going to speak, Brand.
49:31Your testimony is good enough for me, Doc.
49:33If you'll repeat all that in court,
49:35I'm willing to call the sheriff and risk anything Brand may say.
49:38How about what I will say?
49:40She has to tell what she saw.
49:42You won't testify in court, Brand.
49:46You don't dare.
49:48Who said that?
49:49You killed me, Brand.
49:53Get away from me, Gilbert.
49:55I'll have you if you sit between me and Anne.
49:58Nice work, Doc.
49:59That'll do.
50:04You tricked me.
50:06Sit down, Brand.
50:08Sit down.
50:10Better call the sheriff, Miss Gilbert.
50:14Operator.
50:15Operator.
50:16Get me the sheriff's office.
50:25Get up.
50:26Come on, Sheriff.
50:27This is...
50:29We aren't going to need the sheriff for this party.
50:33Take him outside.
50:44Get the girl out of here.
50:45Head for town.
51:14Hurry up.
51:15Take this.
51:16Put it in the car.
51:17In the car?
51:18In the trunk, in the trunk.
51:19Hurry, hurry.
51:20Go on.
51:21Oh.
51:22No.
51:23No.
51:26No.
51:27No.
51:28No.
51:29No.
51:30No.
51:31No.
51:32No.
51:35No.
51:39No.
51:42No.
51:46Grab her.
52:19Come on, come on! What are you waiting for? Let's get him!
52:41Take the shortcut to Tom's. We've got to get there before he does.
52:49Faster, faster!
53:19Come on, come on!
53:49Slow down, man!
54:19Keep your hands clear of the guns.
54:50Get their guns, Pete.
54:52Well, looks like you got our job done for us before we got here, stranger.
54:55Well, there's a lot of them. I'm glad you came along.
55:15I'm very grateful to you.
55:18That's all right, miss. I was only saving my own neck.
55:22Oh, about that job dad offered you.
55:25Well, it's still open.
55:27Well, I sure would like to take it on.
55:31A bottle of kugel! We'll bring the gentleman around, Sheriff.
