00:00You
00:30You
01:00Out of the early days of our western frontier have come many legends
01:05Some of these stories are based on fact others. No doubt were conceived in the minds of grizzled old prospectors
01:12Too long alone in the hot barren waste
01:15Consumed by their one dream the dream of finding gold each one convinced. They one day hit the biggest bonanza of all
01:23Many of these stories as you know concerned Indian
01:27They were the large tribes or nations in Arizona such as the Apache the Navajo
01:34Hopi Zuni Papago and many more
01:39California's Indians were divided into smaller tribes
01:42There were a good many of these groups that were all but extinct when the first Spaniard landed
01:47Most of them were far more primitive than their brothers in other territories. Their culture was that of the Stone Age
01:53This
01:56Story deals with the last days of one such tribe
02:00Already small when Spain first claimed, California's her own their numbers steadily dwindled as they waged an unending war against the white man
02:09They refused to be converted to Christianity by the Padres of the missions
02:14The white man was their mortal enemy to be killed on sight
02:19While their number was decreasing the number of their enemy was increasing
02:23The Anglo or Yankee had migrated west and was embarked upon the feverish search for gold
02:31The remnants of this tribe had been driven back into the hills in an area which was thought to be rich in gold
02:38Individual prospectors and parties of men had gone into these hills never to return
02:45There came a time when the only remaining members of this tribe were women
02:49Their men had been all killed in their ceaseless battle with the white men or a died of pestilence
02:56Ironically the leader of these women was herself white
03:00She had been captured as a baby and the only reason she had been spared was the fact that their hair was the color of yellow
03:07gold
03:08To the superstitious minds of these primitive people. This was a symbol
03:14She had been sent to them by the Sun God and they treated her as a goddess as she grew to young womanhood
03:20Since she had known nothing but the ways of these Indians their enemy became her enemy and she fought and killed her own people
03:28This is a story of one party of white men and one white woman who in their search for gold
03:35Encountered these Amazons of the West
03:37You
03:41Could fill bags with
03:43Weather spots in that Creek where the nuggets just reflect the Sun at you
03:50Why talk on it man? You must be the richest man in this whole territory where you got all the bags of gold here
03:57I had them bags of gold mister, but don't you think for one blame minute them ornery redskins was gonna let me take him out
04:05Lucky to be standing right here
04:07plum lucky
04:09Just cut out with my eye
04:11Never even got out with a price of a drink
04:17When you plan on going back a rat you don't let all that gold just go away
04:22Just as I give me a grub steak and a party of men
04:25What's man and ain't afraid to take on the engines? I'm going back
04:33And we've been believing you for the past five years
04:37I
05:07Was going on down there. Oh, that's the boy. They have quite a time with Pam
05:12Pam
05:13Pam tiger, that's a pan pan for panhandle. I
05:18Don't know what it means
05:20What about this story? He's telling about the gold. I
05:25Don't reckon you've been around here very long. Have you?
05:29Potter
05:30Mulvey Potter the wife and I just got in yesterday afternoon. We're staying at the Harley boarding house. Oh, that explains everything
05:38Yeah, pan. He's been telling that story around for years. Why I'm surprised. He hasn't already told you the story
05:45You know strangers are his best customers
05:48He sure tells it like it was a truth
05:51He's been telling that story so long. I think he believes it now. Yeah, I guess it could be that way
05:58Now, what do you have? Oh nothing. Thank you. I'm not a drinking man
06:03Fact is wife doesn't allow it
06:06Huh? I was going to ask you if you knew of some little business a man might get into
06:12You get to hear about everything that goes on in town
06:16So if you've got the right kind of money I happen to know that you can pick this place right up
06:23You put some music out there
06:26And you'll get some nice shapely
06:30Entertainers and then you cut that red-eye in half with you know, cheap alcohol
06:38Of course with me as a partner, you know sort of look keep an eye on things around here for you
06:45Mister you'd be riding high on the horn. Well
06:49How much will it take to happen?
06:51Five thousand. Oh, no, no. No, you're talking way over my head. I haven't got that kind of money
06:59Well, mister you go out there and see old pan and for a few dollars he'll make you rich
07:12So
07:14How much would it take?
07:17I'll dang well depends on how many got in the party now to get in and out of Gold Creek
07:22That's the name I gave it, you know, you gotta have upwards to six or seven guns
07:26Oh, what would we need with all of those guns?
07:29They'd only be two or three of us a blasted old man. I'm talking men six or seven us what can handle guns?
07:37Well, isn't that cutting the gold a little fin oh, I'd take a small army to cut that kind of gold in
07:44I've never seen such gold and all your born days
07:49Or all right. All right now plan on six or seven how much for three months?
07:54No, let's say by the time you figure horses
08:00Guns
08:03Rub
08:06Ammunition
08:09Little liquor
08:14Oh
08:15You got a cab to see a thousand dollars
08:19You might be able to see that down a bit
08:22Yeah
08:23If you was to round up a party what it's your expenses. Yeah
08:28Yeah, that might be the way
08:30I'd hate to pay the whole bill to make somebody else rich
08:34Who is Pam Taggart?
08:37He's that prospector. I told you about the one that knows about the gold. I
08:42Sent you out to try and talk a deal with the owner of the saloon and you come back without talking to him
08:51And have a goal to tell me you wasted your time talking to a stupid old fool
08:56But but Ruby I want that saloon
09:00Do you understand for once in my life? I want to be somebody I want to run that place and be the queen of the beehive
09:09And have all the people come to me for favors I
09:14Want to make money
09:17Big money Ruby Ruby. You've just said it. That's exactly what's been on my mind big money
09:23Wouldn't go out and buy the saloon
09:26Ruby honey forget about that saloon for a minute. That's not what I'm talking about
09:31Besides if if you were to be the queen around a place like that, honey
09:35I just couldn't stand it all those men pawing at you
09:42Ruby honey, listen to me. Hear me out justice once
09:47Now we both want big money, but I'm telling you again. I just haven't got the wherewithal to buy a place like that
09:55Before you married me you sold out a freighting business in, Illinois
10:00What did you do with the money well, I I
10:05Sold out the place because I couldn't make a go of it now
10:08And now if you've got a place it isn't doing very well. You're not going to get very much for it. Are you?
10:13Now Ruby listen this tiger swears up and down that the gold is there and I believe him
10:20Why?
10:21Well, it wasn't there say say he made up this whole story just to mooch a bottle in some food
10:28He wouldn't be willing to risk his life now, would he much less three months of hard work and a long trip
10:34Oh, no, no. No, he can get a bottle in food a lot easier than that
10:41Where's this gold supposed to be and a place he calls gold Creek
10:46It's deep in Indian territory
10:49Now honey, it's no picnic to get there
10:51But we can be rich real stinking rich and we won't have to sweat it out in that lousy saloon for the next 15 years
10:59Listen to me. All we have to do is bag it up bags of gold
11:10Look Mike, it's just a matter of time before some joker will drift in from Texas and spot us
11:16When that happens wait on the run or rotten in jail
11:20Now listen Wade, you know, I never had no stomach for battling Indians
11:25Whoever says we're gonna have to get to where we have to battle, huh? You mean what you know
11:29I mean, we're getting 300 a piece cash
11:33We're getting grub and plenty of ammunition
11:36When we decide to cut our own trail you tell me
11:39Who's gonna stop us?
11:41Well
11:42300 much of a stake
11:44Not unless you're planning on going in for that gold by yourself cotton. No, I'm not
11:50But I figure friend Potter for the rest of a real good steak
11:54But it's the only fool. I know the belief attack. Oh
11:59How do mr. Potter
12:01It's a friend of mine Mike Horton that he's uh, he's in on the deal. Howdy. Well good. Oh
12:09Those other two men you told me about they don't want to come in
12:12Looks like we'll have to spend some more time getting the party up to full force Hunter. I gave you two days
12:19You're up either we go now, it's
12:22Gonna cost you two thousand dollars for me and Horton. I just haven't got that kind of money Condon
12:29Party's up to five
12:31Either we go now we don't go
12:34now
12:35Maybe we should just forget the whole thing
12:38But well, thank you. You're not going to like going in shorthanded
12:41Well, you just tell target then condom me make up for men
12:45Yeah, could be
12:48Could be
13:15As
13:35We gain the top of the pass I couldn't help but take a last look at the town
13:40There was a feeling of security down there
13:43Well ahead of us
13:46But Ruby but Ruby it was different all she wanted to know was whether I was coming or not
13:52When I told her that it might be a long time before we saw the town again. She looked off a moment
13:58Then said we'll see it again. I
14:01hope
14:03Oh
14:12Tony
14:19When do you plan on stopping for the night
14:21Ruby and I aren't up to this type of travel. We're beginning to hurt you city. People ain't quite up to pan-taggered. Are you?
14:29Well reckon I should take it fairly easy on you cause when we hit engine country
14:34You're gonna need all the fish you can muster. There's water a couple miles ahead. We'll make camp when we hit it
14:53We got to take over this outfit tonight
14:56I've only been a day out too risky
14:59Besides I
15:01Have to look into something. I've been seeing you getting cozy with the potter's wife
15:06You ain't planning on anything with her. Are you look Mike?
15:10You let me decide what's best and you better do some faster side because I ain't getting my scalp lifted for nobody
15:17All right, all right, we'll we'll do it tomorrow night be a lot safer all around but it's got to be tomorrow night
15:25I
15:34Don't even a few days on the trail, but it was long enough to overhang the party with the smell of trouble
15:40From the way Taggart was watching the trail. I figured he was expecting trouble any time
15:45And from watching Condon and Horton. I had a feeling something was brewing there. Also, I
15:50Didn't like their little secret powwows. I
15:52I got to worrying that if it all exploded at once nobody would ever get to see Gold Creek
16:22I
16:43What is it Tiger
16:46We are getting Indians this quick, are we no
16:50Don't reckon so. I just caught a twinkle or something back in the hills
16:55What do you think it was?
16:57Sun hit a bit of Micah most likely
17:00Could also be the Sun hitting on a rifle barrel up
17:03Could be
17:06Move out
17:15I
17:25Can't understand why it's so cold
17:27You're roasting all day
17:30We've climbed about a couple of thousand feet since yesterday Ruby a higher altitude makes it colder. Oh, shut up
17:37I don't need an explanation from you
17:45And
17:49That's another thing you better keep a closer watch on your investment a
17:55Couple of more days and you won't know what direction is going in
18:01Hmm I think I'll go to sleep
18:04I
18:34Don't know tag it ain't putting on this Indian scare just to keep us in line
18:38As far as he knows he got nothing to worry about us
18:41And I thought I'm giving the hill some pretty sharp lurks where he thought no one was looking at and that's all the more reason
18:46For us to get it over with now before somebody moves Don's
18:50something that Potter's wife said
18:52Makes it doubtful who's got the money. What difference does it make who's got the money?
18:55We get everything don't we could be in town, you know, who with a bartender what?
19:01You've heard of a bank, huh?
19:05Yeah
19:07Well, it's a chance. We'll have to take that's all because I ain't going another step into no engine country
19:11I just a chance of more money
19:14What about Ruby Potter same as the rest what you don't think we're gonna take her along do you I
19:20Don't see shooting a woman like well, if it'll spoil your breakfast condom
19:24Leave it to me because I got an idea that money-grabbing which is planning on coming out of this alone
19:32Let's get it over with quick
19:34I
20:05We saw your fire and thought you might be able to spare us a little grub
20:11Doesn't the United States Army feed its cavalryman anymore?
20:14Well, we got separated from my outfit in an engine ambush a day or so ago and there's garrison is for the factory. That's
20:22It's about a hundred miles away
20:24How'd you get here so quick?
20:27We were on a scouting mission. Yeah about two days out when it happened. Oh
20:31take it we
20:32Got some company seems like they want to buy the grub
20:43You two been trailing us during the day why no
20:46We just spotted your fire about half an hour ago
20:49Why you have an engine trouble? Not that we know of what can you tell us?
20:54You got ambushed by a strong party at anvil rock reckon curtain and me. Here's the only two that got away
20:59We've been running from a member senator
21:02Sure could use some grub
21:04Well, come on. I'll poke up the fire
21:18Yeah, I don't like the looks of this
21:20There are two men that have been on the run for a few days. They and their horses look pretty doggone good
21:27But but they're cavalrymen yes
21:31No
21:32What do you mean? They're gears army regulation, but part of what they're wearing has been picked up elsewhere
21:41Well, we better go tell Connor now don't go flying off the handle how we know they ain't in together
21:47It seems to me Condon and Horton accepted these two pretty easy
21:52How will we find out?
21:53Yeah
21:57Tomorrow morning
21:59We'll tell Condon and Horton that we're aiming on asking the cavalrymen to stick with us to Gold Creek
22:06That'll smoke them out in the open
22:10How so well if they're in cahoots they'll agree if they ain't
22:14They won't want to share grub and gold
22:21Yeah, yeah
22:27I
22:40Think keeping you two from riding
22:45We figured on going your way
22:48The wrong direction for Fort Apache we didn't know
22:52You know now
22:55We ain't exactly no hurry to get back to Fort Apache your court-martial for desert
23:05Harsh words, here's some more to go with him. You ain't riding our way because we don't need you
23:13Now let's get all our cards up on the table
23:16The drunken old fool you got leading you talks a lot when he's drunk and asleep
23:19Now we know what you're out after and we want in
23:22You ain't got a chance in hell after we overheard you two planning last night
23:30I think you'd better count us in I
23:33think
23:34Look fine up soldier boys
23:38Now let's start riding nice and easy
23:40I
23:51Couldn't may seem to think there might be something what them two were saying about the engines
23:55So we decided we'd do a bit of scouting around
23:58That's a good idea. We'll catch up later
24:10I
24:12I
24:38Here they come
24:42I
24:55Like a couple of prairie dogs just waiting to be picked off
25:02Here's where general Horton passes sentence on a couple of deserters
25:12I
25:14I
25:44What give me a sign if you're still alive
26:14I
26:32Ain't putting a thing past them two
26:44Oh
27:00Who got him the arrow just came out of nowhere
27:09Apache
27:14I
27:18What happened
27:22What happened, I don't know
27:25An arrow came out of nowhere. I didn't see a thing before I didn't see a thing after that
27:29See a patchy's idea a fair play. Then you don't know if there was one or a hundred
27:33There was only one else condon wouldn't be I knew we should have hung on to those two army men
27:39What chance have we got now?
27:42Stop your whining Potter still with us. How do you know? Yeah, they are
27:55Seems like they're tagged here talking in their sleep about the gold
27:59You're doing well making that up cotton cuz I got a notion you're in cahoots with him
28:06Better save your fighting for the Indians
28:12You
28:17Can't get us down you need us now
28:21He's right condon. He's right. We've got to take them on
28:25From here on in I call all the bets Potter. So don't tell me what to do
28:28Could be the party doesn't need you condon. You've been trying to run this show ever since we left
28:33Maybe I'll let you find gold creeps. Stop it. We're ever gonna reach that gold
28:38We're going to need all the guns and and wits we can muster any of you want to argue against that
29:09Whose side are you on mrs. Potter?
29:12Why the side that offers the most?
29:15Would you care to make a bed? I?
29:18might
29:19Have to write it out or I bring it in person
29:23Try it
29:38You
29:58Cheap grip
30:01This money belongs to me he didn't earn it, you know of a harder way to earn it Potter
30:07Well, if it's not any good to him now anyway and what are you acting so righteous about you were coming here to get this
30:13money yourself
30:22What have you been up to nothing that concerns you
30:26What do you do
30:32Taking this money back from Horton seems like your husband doesn't like people getting killed before they have their pay
30:56I
31:26Think I heard he don't want engines gonna tackle a party
31:56Like this when I have your scalp lifted by a bunch of braids
31:59Tigers, right if it's run we run you run anyway
32:04If anybody's getting ideas, I'm going back. They're going back without me. I'm moving ahead fast as I can
32:26I
32:31Reckon we've reached it
32:33Well checked all my bearings and listen, I'm plum mistaken. We've come to the goal
32:41Let's get unpacked
32:57I
32:58Think your friend tagger had a few too many to drink along the way
33:02What do you mean Ruby? Well, I'll explain it to you. Have you found any gold yet?
33:08No, none
33:10exactly
33:12That's right, what where is all this gold he was talking about and where is he out in the bush dead drunk
33:26I
33:32Knew it
33:40Gold
33:56Oh your fire, let's move his body to the brush
34:15Ruby you stay here. We'll go search the brush. Come on
34:26I
34:56Know
35:06Well, did you find something
35:09Nothing, they don't
35:10There must be somebody out there. It doesn't make any sense
35:14Don't be waiting around for an engine to make sense, especially when he's out to kill you
35:17Oh
35:20Who tries for 10 years to convince somebody there's gold up here
35:24When he finally makes it back he gets one minute to feel it between his fingers
35:29And he collects himself a tombstone
35:34I'm sorry. It had to be him. I could use a drink. I'll join you
35:47I
36:17I
36:47I
37:17I
37:47I
37:56Hey don't wake up
38:02Why'd you wake me up for there ain't nothing about what do you make him?
38:10Well, one thing for sure they have an old square dance
38:14Will they attack I don't think so. How can you be sure I ain't
38:18I'm just going on the superstition that they believe if they're killed at night
38:23They'll never find their way to the happy hunting ground. It's a lot of consolation. Mr. Jones. Well, take it or leave it
38:30I'm going back to sleep
38:43You
39:13You
39:44You
40:01Did you ever see anything like this we're rich Ruby rich we will be if you'll shut up and keep working
40:13Look at this nugget Ruby look at the size of it. I look good on your finger wouldn't it?
40:43Oh
41:03He did
41:13Let's get a body out of here no use in making targets of ourselves
41:37Don't you think we ought to put up some kind of marker what for
41:43Because it's usually done I guess great seems kind of lonesome without a touch of somebody cared. Oh, you do it then
41:51I'll go look for Jones girl, huh?
41:55Are you planning on getting out tonight?
41:57I'm planning on getting out as quick as I can. How quick is that?
42:02As quick as I can round up all the sacks of gold, mr. Potter
42:13I
42:43I
43:09What are you doing there watching me
43:14I I wasn't watching you. I just came over to have a little talk. Are you talk?
43:23Well, it looks like we're the only two left we've got all the gold in the gear so
43:31But you've got to admit we're a long way from out of here
43:33I think we're going to need each other to get out of here with our scouts
43:38well, maybe so and
43:40And maybe not
43:43Just kidding here cost us two men in the face of a party of seven. That's why we were coming in
43:48Now we're going out. I
43:50Have a strong feeling those Indians aren't going to let anybody out of here that easy not with this go they're not
43:55What use have they got for this girl? Huh?
43:58Well, it might be sort of a god or a spirit or an omen to them
44:03You're a superstitious fool Potter and a coward besides
44:09Condon, you know, we'll never make it out of here if we try to go it alone. Yeah
44:15Now look condon you promised me that I go out of here with you and I'll pay you a thousand
44:21Make it fifteen hundred
44:24Two thousand
44:27Condon you're not leaving me out here to die. I'm getting out with my gold. I'm getting out. Do you hear me?
44:32Mr. Potter hold on now and relax
44:35Easy putter sit yourself down
44:39That travel light. We're gonna travel fast, but we're still gonna need some handy guns and for good. I
44:51You know what I'm going to do when we hit town, huh, I don't me about yourself I'm going to buy that saloon
