10:20Father and Colonel Harrison used to be such close friends.
10:23Well, they sure ain't no more.
10:25Right after the judge decided in your father's favor,
10:28things started happening mysterious.
10:30That's when the ranch foreman disappeared
10:32and your father promoted Dick Taggart to take his place.
10:36Yes.
10:37Father hinted to me in a letter that he thought Dick was the man to handle it.
10:41Well, somehow he wasn't.
10:43Our cows just kept on on disappearing.
10:45Rustlers?
10:46Ain't no other way of figuring it.
10:48The general notion is that it's Colonel Harrison and his outfit trying to get even.
10:53Oh, but Shorty, that's ridiculous.
10:55Maybe.
10:57But sometimes I wonder if somebody ain't using Harrison as a blind.
11:02Someone right in their own backyard.
11:04How do you mean?
11:06Well, it ain't none of my business.
11:08But anyhow, I decided to do a little watching and figuring on my own.
11:12And the first thing I found out was...
11:15Shorty!
11:25Shorty! This is Shorty!
11:36Dick, help me!
11:42Shorty's been shot!
11:45Did you see who did it?
11:47Not to tell who it was.
11:49He rode off in that direction.
11:50Couldn't you tell what he looked like?
11:52No.
11:53Except that he was riding a horse with a white splotch on its hip.
11:57Are you sure?
11:59Yes.
12:01What's the matter, Dick?
12:02Well, the only horse around here with a mark like that
12:06belongs to Glover Harrison.
12:08But, but...
12:09Now understand, Maybel.
12:11I'm not accusing Glover.
12:13Somebody else might have been riding his horse.
12:15But whoever it was, his aim was awfully good.
12:26Father!
12:27What are you going to do?
12:28I'm going to have it out for the scholars.
12:29But, Father, nobody's sure who killed Shorty.
12:31We know whose horse he was riding.
12:33We only think we do.
12:34That's right, boss.
12:35There could be another horse marked the same way.
12:37Anyway, if Glover or his father wanted to kill anybody,
12:40why should it be Shorty?
12:42Because they knew he was smarter than the average.
12:44Maybe they thought he knew too much already.
12:47What Shorty knew wasn't about the Harrisons.
12:49He thought somebody else was causing all the trouble.
12:51Somebody else?
12:53Who?
12:54I don't know.
12:55But whoever it was, Shorty thought he was using Colonel Harrison as a blind.
12:59He was shocked before he could tell me what he meant.
13:02Did Shorty ever speak to you about any such fool notions?
13:04No.
13:05Not a word.
13:06Huh.
13:07Doesn't make sense.
13:08The thing I want to find out is
13:10if it was that old black limbered Colonel Harrison.
13:12Father, please listen.
13:13If anybody talks to the Harrisons, let me go first.
13:16Otherwise, it might mean more killing.
13:18You don't understand how things have changed, Maybelle.
13:21It isn't safe for you to go over there.
13:23Oh, yes, it is.
13:24But it might not be safe for anybody else.
13:26Somebody might start shooting instead of talking.
13:29You know I'm right, Father.
13:31Whatever else you may think of Colonel Harrison, you know he wouldn't harm me.
13:35Here, Dick.
13:36Take this gun and put it away.
13:40I'll be back pretty soon.
14:10Maybelle, come on in.
14:14Gee, it's good to see you.
14:15I heard about you coming home and I wanted to come over and see you,
14:18but I kind of figured that...
14:22Oh, I see.
14:24You've been letting somebody fill your head full of a lot of fool notions, huh?
14:28I don't suppose you know that Shorty's been killed.
14:31Shorty?
14:32No.
14:33How?
14:34He was shot.
14:36Oh.
14:37Was anyone around when it happened?
14:39I was.
14:40You were?
14:41Oh, I'm sorry.
14:43Any idea who did it?
14:45No.
14:46Except that he was riding a horse that had a white splotch on its hip.
14:50Maybelle, surely you don't think I had anything to do with it.
14:53No.
14:54I wouldn't.
14:55They sent you here to accuse my son.
14:57Afraid to come themselves, hiding behind your skirts.
15:00Nobody sent me, Colonel.
15:02And I'm not accusing anybody.
15:03Oh, yes, you are.
15:04And so is your father.
15:05I heard you.
15:06First your father robs us, and then he accuses, trying to shift the guilt.
15:10Oh, wait a minute, Father.
15:11Oh, yes, afraid to come himself.
15:13Sending you.
15:14Well, you can go back and tell him that any time any Harrison starts using a gun,
15:19there won't be unhired help.
15:36Oh, good afternoon, gentlemen.
15:38Good afternoon.
15:39We wanted to ask you about that belt in there.
15:41Oh, yes.
15:42An exceptional piece of merchandise.
15:44I'll get it out and show it to you.
15:45Oh, no, never mind.
15:46We don't want to see it.
15:47We just want to know where you got it.
15:48How's that?
15:49Yes, where did you get it?
15:50Well, I say, you don't think there's anything wrong with it, do you?
15:54Maybe not, but we could tell you better if we knew who sold it to you.
15:57Well, I think he said his name was Gerald Griswold.
16:02Gerald what?
16:03Griswold, of the New England Griswolds.
16:05New England, eh?
16:06Did he talk New England?
16:08Well, I'd say a variable New England.
16:11Mostly Wyoming, with a New England coating.
16:14Say, you don't think he stole it, do you?
16:17No.
16:18Not if he talked mostly Wyoming.
16:20What'd he say he wanted to sell it for?
16:22Well, you see, it wasn't an outright sale.
16:24He traded it in on an outfit of clothes.
16:26I don't think he stole it.
16:28Well, you see, it wasn't an outright sale.
16:30He traded it in on an outfit of clothes.
16:32Clothes?
16:33What was the matter with the ones he wore?
16:35Nothing, except he said he wanted something more elite.
16:40Have a cigar, Bob.
16:42No, thanks.
16:43I don't smoke.
16:52Oh, you're one of them book writing fellows, huh?
16:54Yeah, I write.
16:55Yes, sir.
16:57Well, I've been darned.
16:58I never thought I'd meet up with one of them marketers.
17:01If it's a life full of the old west
17:03you're looking for, young feller,
17:05you're headed in the right direction.
17:07Yes, sirree, Bob.
17:08You sure are.
17:21You mean the Pembroke Ranch?
17:23Yep.
17:24The hare's been flying since the Pembrokes
17:26and the Harrison's.
17:27Quite a spell now.
17:28That's getting to be a real hot spot.
17:30Hot spot?
17:31You mean shooting?
17:32Like you've never seen or heard before.
17:35Well, to begin with,
17:36somebody who's one of Jim Pembroke's witnesses
17:38during the trial.
17:39Oh, what was the trial about?
17:41Oh, a strip of ground.
17:44Didn't amount to much then.
17:46You'd think it was a whole spread now.
17:48That's very interesting.
17:49But I hope the trouble's all over.
17:51I really came here for a vacation.
17:53Well, partner,
17:54you couldn't have done any worse.
17:56This feud is really coming to a head.
17:58Well, it's your shorty friend's problem,
18:00cut and shot.
18:14Looks like all he took
18:15was his razor and toothbrush.
18:17He didn't take this.
18:18What is it?
18:19It's that letter of introduction from Bladesout.
18:21Oh, oh yeah.
18:23Come on.
18:44Come on, get back there.
18:50All right, faster, faster.
18:53Yeah.
19:06Well, I don't want to be a hog about this,
19:08so supposing you start dancing.
19:15I hope that's not what I think it is.
19:17What?
19:18Mr. Griswold.
19:23Yeah.
19:33This will take care of you.
19:39Why, Mr. Griswold.
19:43I beg your pardon, miss.
19:45It's I who should beg your pardon
19:47and shame for the community I live in.
19:49It's preposterous.
19:50A writer of Mr. Griswold's reputation
19:52honors us with a visit
19:53and you treat him in this manner.
19:54Well, we didn't know he was a writer,
19:56Miss Pembroke.
19:57He sure don't look like one.
19:58Well, he is a celebrated author.
20:01He wrote...
20:03What did you write, Mr. Griswold?
20:05Why, uh, books.
20:08Uh, about New England.
20:10I'm Mabel Pembroke, Mr. Griswold,
20:12and I'm terribly distressed about all this.
20:14Oh, don't mention it.
20:16I think it's a very amusing
20:17and, uh, interesting experience.
20:21The sheriff tells my father
20:22that you'd like to visit our ranch.
20:24Yes, miss.
20:25If I wouldn't be too much trouble.
20:27Not at all.
20:28We'd be delighted.
20:29Of course, I hope you won't be disappointed,
20:31but I'll do my best
20:32to look after your education.
20:36I suppose you've been in Texas
20:37long enough to know what this is.
20:39Oh, I seem to recall.
20:40This is something you put on a horse.
20:42It's commonly known as a Mexican saddle.
20:44It's not much like the saddles
20:45we see in New England, is it?
20:46No, ma'am, it isn't.
20:47They don't seem to have this here,
20:48uh, thingamajig up in front.
20:50That's a horn.
20:51You, being accustomed to an English saddle,
20:53probably think it's a senseless protrudence,
20:55but it isn't.
20:56When a cowhand's riding the range,
20:57it comes in mighty handy.
21:00And this, Mr. Griswold, is a...
21:01Ah, ah, don't tell me.
21:04This is a horse.
21:05Careful, don't get too close to his heels.
21:07He's an outlaw.
21:08An outlaw? A thief?
21:09What'd he do?
21:10He's what we call a bucker.
21:11Not a straight bucker, like this,
21:13but a twister, like this.
21:15No one's ever been able to ride him.
21:17Hmm.
21:19Really?
21:20Really.
21:21Well, that's, uh, interesting.
21:25Very interesting.
21:33Well, Corrigan,
21:34if you're as good as Lin Bledsoe thinks you are,
21:37you'll be right useful.
21:39No horse thieves around here yet,
21:41but plenty of rustling,
21:42and a murder thrown in for good measure.
21:44Murder?
21:45Yep.
21:47Bunch of scoundrels on the next range.
21:49Well, where's your horse?
21:51Tied outside.
21:52I'll have one of the boys put him up.
21:54Stay here and make yourself comfortable.
21:57Old Mabel?
21:58Yes, Father.
21:59Will you come here, please?
22:00Yes, Father.
22:01You may be just the man I'm looking for.
22:04Huh?
22:05How's that?
22:06Looks like I need a new man in charge.
22:08I was thinking Shorty might do,
22:10but he's the man that got murdered.
22:14Old Mabel, come here.
22:17Crash?
22:18This is my daughter, Mabel.
22:20Now, see, Crash Corrigan,
22:22I don't believe it.
22:23Huh?
22:24Oh, well, to tell the truth, ma'am,
22:26it's kind of hard for me to believe sometimes.
22:28I don't mean that.
22:29I mean you look so much like your picture.
22:31Well, I was just going to say the same about you,
22:33only, uh, only better.
22:35I didn't think anyone noticed it.
22:36Oh, yeah.
22:37Don't you remember, Father?
22:39Champion rider of the world.
22:41Oh, shucks.
22:42Shucks not.
22:43Lin Bledsoe did know what he was talking about.
22:46Well, don't let Mabel talk you to death.
22:50Champion bronc rider.
22:52How exciting.
22:54This place is wonderful.
22:56What?
22:57There's an author here from New England
22:58gathering material for a book.
22:59I'll bet he's never met a real bronc rider.
23:02He'd probably love to meet you.
23:04Wait, I'll get him.
23:05Oh, you think you ought to, ma'am.
23:06You know how these writers are.
23:08He's likely very deep in thought.
23:16You don't mean Griswold?
23:18Not Gerald Griswold?
23:20Why, yes.
23:21Do you know him?
23:22No.
23:23I just heard a few things about him, that's all.
23:25Well, sit down and tell me about them.
23:27What sort of things did you hear about Mr. Griswold?
23:30Oh, just, uh, just things.
23:32That.
23:33Well, you can't always go by what they say.
23:35Who?
23:36Oh, people and such.
23:38From what I gather, he's awful stuck on himself,
23:40tooting his own horn.
23:42Well, I don't know.
23:43He's awful stuck on himself, tooting his own horn.
23:46You mean he's a musician?
23:48No, what I meant was...
23:50Why, yes.
23:52I know for a fact.
23:53He's very musical-minded.
23:55Why, once in El Paso, they say he got up out of bed,
23:57in his nightshirt, mind you,
23:59just to listen to a Mexican serenade his gal.
24:02He got up in the dead of the night,
24:04went out on the balcony,
24:05and just stood there, dreamy-like, a-listening.
24:08It's a wonder he didn't catch cold.
24:10Well, ma'am, you know he did.
24:11It was a rain, and that's what it was.
24:13It was just a pouring down,
24:14and he paid no heed to it.
24:16I guess there's something to what they say.
24:18Music sure hath charms to soothe a savage beast.
24:21You don't say.
24:23Look, I'll bet I can get him in here
24:25in two shakes of a doggie's tail just by singing.
24:27Where is he?
24:28He's in his room down the hall.
24:31Now, you come over here and sit out of sight.
24:36You sit right here.
24:38Now, you just watch what happens.
24:41My, what a wonderful day.
24:44Oh, gee, what a wonderful day.
24:47There's music in the air.
24:49There's joy everywhere.
24:50Oh, gosh, what a wonderful day.
24:54Music sure hath charms to soothe a savage beast.
24:59When things go wrong, just sing a little song.
25:02You'll find it a wonderful day.
25:06No time to have the blues.
25:09No time for sad news.
25:12Don't waste any time keeping rhythm and rhyme.
25:15Oh, gosh, what a wonderful day.
25:19Some people sure complain
25:22about a little pain.
25:24But I'm not the sort to talk and squawk
25:27because it's always a wonderful day.
25:31When you ride along
25:34over hill and over dale,
25:37the world seems grand in this western land.
25:40Oh, gosh, what a wonderful day.
25:42There are days when it's hazy
25:45and the sun will not shine
25:48and you feel so doggone lazy
25:51as you travel mile for mile.
25:57When the day is gone
26:00and you find your place to rest,
26:03pretty soon it's dawn and you start along
26:07on another wonderful day.
26:11The sun smiles in the sky,
26:14no one happier than I.
26:17It's the kind of a day
26:20you sing yippee-ki-yay.
26:26Oh, gosh, what a wonderful day.
26:28Mr. Griswold!
26:30What are you doing?
26:32And nothing like stretching a tight pair of shoes, is there?
26:37My, but you gave me a fright.
26:40I thought you were going to throw that at Mr. Corrigan.
26:43Mr. Who?
26:45Mr. Corrigan. Crash Corrigan.
26:47The Crash Corrigan I'll have you know.
26:50Well, I wouldn't think of throwing this at Mr. Corrigan.
26:54It ain't heavy enough. I didn't get that.
26:57Maybe you will next time.
27:00So you're Mr. Corrigan, huh?
27:03Yeah. Silly name, isn't it?
27:05It is not.
27:06Of course it isn't, Mr. Corrigan.
27:08Oh, gee, thanks.
27:09But if I had it to do all over again, I sure wouldn't take it.
27:12Even if it was given to me.
27:13Which it wasn't.
27:15What did you say your name was?
27:17Why, this is Mr. Griswold whom I spoke to you about.
27:19Don't you remember?
27:20Oh, sure, sure, I remember.
27:22Yeah, I always remember a name.
27:24It's some of the faces that throw me.
27:26You know, Mr. Griswold, Mr. Corrigan and I are practically old friends.
27:29Our pictures were in the same paper.
27:32Yeah, I wonder how that happened.
27:34Oh, just luck, I guess.
27:35Luck had nothing to do with it, don't you believe me, Mr. Griswold?
27:38It was ability and courage.
27:40You're just modest, Mr. Corrigan.
27:42Oh, gee, ma'am.
27:43But you know how it is.
27:44Some of these rodeo riders think they're some pumpkin
27:46just because they won an old championship rodeo belt.
27:52Come in.
27:53Come in.
27:57I had to come over, Mabel, because,
27:59because of the way Father treated you.
28:01I didn't think anything of it.
28:03Well, I did.
28:04Please, I have company.
28:07Oh, I'm, I'm sorry.
28:10But company or not, I've got to explain.
28:13I'm Grover Harrison.
28:15I know they told you about me because of Shorty Branscombe.
28:17They say I shot him.
28:18That's what they told you, isn't it?
28:20No, I never said so, I...
28:23I...
28:29Get out of here, Harrison.
28:31Not until I've had this out.
28:32You heard what he said.
28:35Grover!
28:37Never mind.
28:39What's the matter with this valley?
28:41Has everybody gone insane?
28:42What's a mine fence or a ranch or all the cattle on it?
28:45I don't know, Mabel.
28:47Except that a couple old men insist on acting like children.
28:50I'm sorry I came.
28:53Just a minute, Targon.
28:55Huh?
28:56Oh, uh...
28:57Oh, yes, sir.
28:58Beginning tomorrow, you're my ranch foreman.
29:02Does that mean that I'm fired?
29:04Sounds that way, doesn't it?
29:06If it's because of what just happened to young Harrison,
29:09he asked for it.
29:10He wasn't asking you.
29:23If you're afraid this targon on me might get in the way,
29:26we can take care of him just like we did Shorty.
29:30Nope.
29:31It might look suspicious so soon after him taking my place.
29:36It looks like we'd better start working on the other side of the fence.
29:39I don't know about that.
29:40The colonel's got his cows guarded pretty closely.
29:43Maybe we could take his mind off of his cows for a while.
29:46How?
29:48Well, supposing somebody did away with his kid.
29:51He'd be mighty mad, wouldn't he?
29:53Yeah, he'd be hopping mad.
29:54Instead of guarding his cows, he'd take his outfit over the fence
29:57and clean out the penbrooks.
29:59Yep, I imagine he would.
30:01But how do you figure something's gonna happen to the kid?
30:03Since he lost his appetite over that penbrook girl,
30:06he's gotten a habit of going for rides alone.
30:08He's gotten a habit of going for rides alone.
30:10Go!
30:37Circle around and head him off.
30:40Go!
31:10Go!
31:40Go!
32:10Go!
32:28Hold on there!
32:29I'm the fella that likely saved your life.
32:37Who are you?
32:38Just a maverick.
32:39I was taking a shortcut.
32:40I used to know the Thunder River.
32:42I got here just in time to see them fellas open up on you.
32:44What's all the shooting about, son?
32:47I don't know.
32:48Any more and I know why a lot of things happen around here.
32:50Such as what?
32:52A couple of days ago when a penbrook's cowhands got shot.
32:55Some folks seem to think I did it.
32:58Is that Jim Penbrook you're talking about?
33:00Yes. Do you know him?
33:01Well, that's where I'm headed.
33:03He used to be top ranger there a long time ago.
33:06It must have been awful long ago or I'd remember.
33:08You been around here quite a spell?
33:10I was born and raised here.
33:12It's all part of my father's spread.
33:14Then you're Harrison.
33:15Yeah.
33:16You must be little Grover.
33:18I reckon I was little once.
33:21Well, then take another look.
33:22You ought to remember me.
33:24I bought you your first bag of marbles,
33:26an even dozen glasses and an egg of toast.
33:32Alibi!
33:33Alibi to you!
33:34Right!
33:36Say, about this cowhand you're talking about getting shot.
33:40Did you say he's one of Penbrook's outfits?
33:42Yeah.
33:43Shorty Branscombe.
33:44Must have come after you left.
33:46I don't see why any Penbrook would think you did it.
33:49Well, there's bad blood between the two outfits now, alibi.
33:54Well, I'm sorry, Grover.
33:56Especially on account of this being October.
33:58And close to Maybell's birthday.
34:00Remember?
34:01Yeah.
34:03The Halloween birthday party.
34:05As she's having one this year, I guess I'll have to miss it.
34:08There's not much visiting between the two spreads nowadays.
34:12Alibi, I wish you wouldn't say anything about the shooting that took place.
34:16You'd just get the two outfits suspecting each other more than ever.
34:20Well, all right, if that's what you want.
34:22Yeah.
34:35Why, Mr. Griswold, what have you done to yourself?
34:38Oh, hello.
34:40Well, I thought I could get more of the feeling of the old west
34:43if I dressed like the other mavericks you're about.
34:46Uh, how do I look?
34:48Not bad for a maverick.
34:50Why don't you get Mr. Corrigan to give you some lessons on handling the rope?
34:54If a common cowhand can do it, I can.
34:57Well, I'm not sure I can do it.
34:59Well, I'm sure you can.
35:01If a common cowhand can do it, I can.
35:04Why, Mr. Griswold, that sounded positively snobbish.
35:08Oh, I didn't mean it the way it sounds.
35:11Forget it.
35:12Here, let me show you.
35:14You merely swing your loop.
35:18There.
35:19See how it's done?
35:20Yes, ma'am, I think so.
35:22Let me see you try it.
35:24All right.
35:25Now you hold the loop in the right hand.
35:27Like this?
35:28The coil in the other, yes, that's right.
35:30Well, try anything you want.
35:34Let me see you swing it up.
35:36Like this, huh?
35:38That's right.
35:44Hey!
35:45Oh, hold still and I'll try to get us both out of this.
35:50Yippee!
35:52I was trying to teach Mr. Griswold how to throw a loop and he got us all tangled up.
35:57For a fellow that's got a book to write, he's sure wasting a lot of time.
36:02Well, I never start writing until I've gathered all my materials.
36:05Do yours use a rope to do it?
36:07Oh, no.
36:08Sometimes one thing gives me an inspiration and then sometimes another.
36:13Maybel!
36:14Yes, Father?
36:15Come on in my house.
36:16I've got a surprise for you.
36:18All right.
36:19I'm afraid I have to go.
36:21Mr. Corrigan, why don't you teach Mr. Griswold a few rope tricks?
36:24He's very anxious to learn.
36:25Glad to, ma'am.
36:28Now then, Mr. Griswold.
36:30Listen, King.
36:31There's just one trick I'd like to see you do.
36:34Yeah?
36:35What's that?
36:37Hang yourself.
36:41Hey, Crash.
36:42Yeah?
36:43Come here.
36:45Do you see what I see?
36:49Those are alibi saddlebags.
36:52Sure enough.
36:53We better find out what he's up to.
36:58You know who that is?
37:01Well, I know I ought to know, but...
37:04I reckon you've been trying to forget this face.
37:07But maybe this will make you remember who I am.
37:11Elmer!
37:12Uncle Alibi!
37:18I suppose the line forms to the right.
37:20Elmer, you know what they say.
37:22Last but not least.
37:25Whee!
37:27Together again, Maybelle, at last.
37:29We must never part again.
37:31Never.
37:32Shall I knock on wood?
37:33Some other time.
37:34It gives me the headache.
37:37How long are you going to be with us, Uncle Alibi?
37:39Well, we came for your birthday.
37:41You remembered after all these years?
37:43Sure have.
37:44How could we forget?
37:45How could I forget?
37:46After all, you did carve the date on my chest.
37:49Oh, Elmer.
37:50Let me have Elmer.
37:52You sit down and make yourself at home.
37:54We thought we might get invited to another one of them Halloween birthday parties.
37:59Well...
38:00I hadn't made any particular plans for this birthday.
38:04But since you're here, there'll be a Halloween birthday party and you're invited.
38:08And I'm inviting you to stay on for a spell.
38:10What I need is somebody reliable to give sound advice.
38:13Just took on a new foreman.
38:15A young fellow recommended by Lynn Bledsoe.
38:18Maybe you've heard of him.
38:19Name's Corrigan.
38:21You don't mean that warbling cowpoke?
38:23Yes, he does seem.
38:24Do you know him?
38:25Not personally.
38:26Well, I've heard certain rumors.
38:28Bledsoe thought he was all right.
38:30Oh, yeah.
38:31Yeah, he is as far as knowing cows and riding range is concerned.
38:34But I'm thinking about Maybel.
38:36I wouldn't want anybody to break her heart.
38:38Oh, I think I'm old enough to take care of my heart, Uncle Alibi.
38:42Why?
38:43According to what they say,
38:45if all the hearts are scooped up but Corrigan is broke, it'll overflow a hay wagon.
38:49I have a notion you never heard what happened down in El Paso.
38:52No, what?
38:54Well, folks say it almost came to murder.
38:56All on account of a black-eyed Santa Rita.
38:59Him fighting over her with another fellow,
39:01a dude named Griswold.
39:09Funny nothing's been said about that shooting he done at Young Harrison.
39:12Yeah, looks like they're figuring maybe somebody besides the Penbrooks is behind it.
39:16That's why I thought maybe we ought to forget the idea you had
39:19and start working on Penbrook's side of the fence again.
39:22That birthday party will give us a good chance.
39:24Sure.
39:25And there wouldn't be another Hans riding the range.
39:27Except Peyton and me, I agreed that we'd watch the cattle.
39:30I thought that maybe...
39:32Better see who that is.
39:37It's Buck.
39:44Well, what's up?
39:45A buyer from Fort Worth just made a deal with that bunch of fatted beef on Harrison's North Range.
39:49So?
39:50So, play the black eight on the red dime.
39:53Oh, yeah, thanks.
39:56Well, what else?
39:57Him and the Colonel settled for $5,000.
39:59Cash?
40:00Yep, it's in the safe now.
40:02That's why I come out to see you.
40:04Cash ought to be easier to handle than a bunch of cows with changed brains.
40:08Yeah, it ought to.
40:10Hey, I like Buck's idea better than yours.
40:14Providing we can find a way to get to the money.
40:17Well, I'll have a stick of dynamite and blow that old safe in two.
40:21Providing everybody's moved off of the place so we can get to the safe.
40:24Maybe they will.
40:26Maybe we can rig up a little party of our own on Maybel's birthday.
40:31Old MacDonald had a farm.
40:33E-I-E-I-O
40:35And on this farm he had a chick.
40:37E-I-E-I-O
40:39With a chick chick here, and a chick chick there, and a here chick, there chick, every chick chick.
40:44I left you out, Mr. Pembroke.
40:46Old MacDonald had a farm.
40:48E-I-E-I-O
40:50Old MacDonald had a farm.
40:52E-I-E-I-O
40:54And on this farm he had a duck.
40:56E-I-E-I-O
41:02With a quack quack here, and a quack quack there, and a here quack, there quack, everywhere quack quack.
41:05Old MacDonald had a farm.
41:07E-I-E-I-O
41:09Old MacDonald had a farm.
41:11E-I-E-I-O
41:13And on this farm he had a pig.
41:15E-I-E-I-O
41:17With a quack quack here, and a quack quack there, and a here quack, there quack, everywhere quack quack.
41:20Old MacDonald had a farm.
41:22E-I-E-I-O
41:31Mr. Corrigan, with a voice like that, you ought to go on the stage.
41:34Yes, Mr. Corrigan.
41:36Well, you know how it is, ma'am.
41:38Being a champion bronc buster, it keeps a fellow on the move.
41:41Traveling from one rodeo to another, depending on his title and stuff.
41:44Yes, I suppose it does.
41:46Then I imagine you must have been in El Paso at one time or another.
41:50Well, now, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if I was, ma'am.
41:52As I said, a fellow keeps on the move.
41:55I imagine it keeps you very busy between breaking broncs and breaking hearts.
41:59Well, not so busy that I get.
42:01Did I hear you say that he...
42:03You did.
42:04Oh, you did.
42:05Well, now, you can't believe everything you hear now, can you?
42:08I can.
42:09Oh, you can?
42:11Besides, there's a lot more Corrigans around, you know.
42:14No, I don't.
42:15No?
42:16No.
42:17Oh.
42:18Have an apple.
42:24Alibi had something to tell you.
42:29What is it, alibi?
42:32Well, me and your dad decided the party's kind of incomplete
42:35on account of somebody not being invited.
42:37Not invited? Who?
42:39Grover Harrison.
42:42Did father say that?
42:44On the way here to the ranch, I met Grover.
42:47And the setup was such that me and your dad both decided
42:50that maybe the Harrisons are blamed for a lot that they didn't do.
42:53But even if I did invite him, he wouldn't come.
42:57I think he would.
42:58What about his father? He wouldn't let him.
43:00I have a notion I can tend to that, too.
43:03Anyhow, I'm going to try.
43:21Oh, I guess I'm just upset about missing Maybell's birthday party.
43:25But just the same, there's something behind all this fighting business
43:28that nobody knows about.
43:29We know we didn't kill Shorty,
43:31and it don't stand to reason the Pembroke outfit would.
43:33That means that somebody or other is just...
43:35A couple of Pembroke cowhands stampeded the cattle out of the east range.
43:38How do you know?
43:39They have bullet holes, that's how.
43:41Chuck's giving them battle out in the rocks along the line fence.
43:44Hurry up, we're lined up to hand.
44:00Here you are, Red.
44:09Pete and me spotted the Harrison outfit tearing down the line fence out amongst the rocks.
44:12Are you sure it was the Harrisons?
44:14Sure, I'm sure. I seen them, the colonel and the kid along with the rest.
44:17Pete's trying to hold them off while I rode for help.
44:19Come on, men, settle your horses.
44:21Come on, men.
44:29Let's go.
45:00Where's Tex?
45:02He must have gone ahead. Come on.
45:09Hold on again, they won't let none of us get hurt.
45:15Mr. Griswold, where did you get those guns?
45:17They're mine, and I feel comfortable in them.
45:19And that's more than I can say for that name.
45:21Mr. Griswold, where are you going? You'll get hurt.
45:23Griswold get hurt?
45:26Mr. Griswold, where are you going? You'll get hurt.
45:28Griswold get hurt? He's dead.
45:42Did you see that?
45:44I seen it, but I can't believe it.
45:46That was no dew glider from Boston.
45:48Why, that mount was worthy of crash corridor.
45:55There comes the colonel and his men.
46:25I'm ducking out of here.
46:27You do the same as soon as the others take over the firing.
46:29When we get the money, we'll meet you and Chuck at the hideout.
46:55Let's go.
47:25Let's go.
47:55Let's go.
48:10Start reaching for that rafter, brother.
48:14Move over there to the wall.
48:16Don't forget to keep reaching.
48:21The premises seem kind of deserted.
48:23I guess I'll just linger with you fellas a while.
48:25Somebody more agreeable shows up.
48:53Let's go.
49:23Let's go.
49:54No, why?
49:56It's kind of funny that the two fellas who started this fight aren't around.
49:58The next number didn't show up, and now it looks like pizza.
50:00I know.
50:02You know, I have a notion to go over to the other side and do some questioning.
50:04Hold your fire, boys.
50:06Till I tell you to open up again.
50:10Colonel, you old...
50:12Skinned lynx, can you hear me?
50:14Yes, you con-shined old cow thief.
50:16What do you want?
50:18Are you willing to call a truce?
50:20By far.
50:22Let's go over there for a powwow.
50:24Now tell him to come on over and kick his feet.
50:42You wouldn't happen to know who started all this.
50:44What con-shining you did, didn't they, Buck?
50:46Well, where is Buck?
50:48Buck! Buck!
50:50I don't think you'll find him, Colonel. He's gone with Tex.
50:52They started this thing and then ran.
50:54But we want to find out his why.
50:56What are you driving at?
50:58What are they keeping us occupied here for? What are they after?
51:00Search me.
51:02The money.
51:04In the safe. You don't think...
51:06I'm sure of it. Now you get your men mounted and meet us at the crossroads, and hurry up.
51:10The jury gets through with you on this charge,
51:12they're going to have to start figuring out which one of you killed Shorty Branscombe.
51:20Come on.
51:32I knew somebody would come along if we were just patient enough.
51:36Well, I reckon you fellas better get ready to march.
51:38Drop that gun.
51:40You're the one that's going to march.
51:50Come on.
52:20Come on.
52:50Come on.
53:20Well, what's been taking place here?
53:22Well, from first to last, it's a long story, Colonel.
53:24With a lot of explaining to do.
53:26As well as one or two parties that have to get together.
53:32There go two more of your ranch hands, Jim.
53:34Better get busy.
53:36Tag, nab it, Colonel.
53:38You're on my spread again.
53:40You make another move like that, and I'll take you to court.
53:44Hold on a minute, Jim.
53:46Looks like we've got a problem.
53:48Hold on a minute, Jim.
53:50Looks like the boys are getting ready to go.
53:52Let's leave this lay for a bit.
53:54That's all right by me.
53:56This here game's been waiting for us a couple of years.
53:58I guess it can wait a minute longer.
54:00Yep, folks.
54:02That's how I figured.
54:04Tex, Buck, and Taggart,
54:06and those three fellas we rounded up at the mountain hideout
54:08has been causing all the trouble.
54:10I still don't understand how they got hold of my horse.
54:12It wasn't yours, Grover.
54:14That nag's natural hide is an offshade bay.
54:16That splotch was only a couple of brushfuls of whitewash.
54:18All right, reach.
54:24Told you to make a getaway, huh?
54:26Yeah, trying to sneak out on this old cart, you know.
54:28Chucks knows.
54:30Seeing as how everything's all patched up,
54:32all the way around, we figured we might as well be mowing him.
54:34Down El Paso way?
54:36Better ask Alibi.
54:38That's his story.
54:40Yep, and we're stuck with it.
54:42Well, so long, everybody.
54:44Mr. Clarkin.
54:46Aren't you taking Mr. Griswold with you?
54:48No, sir. We're leaving him with you.
55:00We'll be seeing you, folks.
