00:00This is the Rio Grande in the year 1887, a river that forms a natural barrier between
00:20the United States and Mexico.
00:22Hey, Pat, look down there.
00:39Hey, two against one, come on.
01:03Hey, look underneath this boat there, I'll take a shot, see if we can find it.
01:15It's all right, in the water, it's good, it's all good.
01:23Hey, look, up there, watch that.
01:29Come on.
01:40Go, they've got the two good guys.
02:04Better keep our eyes open, those characters might come back.
02:34Senor Gallagher, it's good to see you.
02:37It's good to see you, Tomas.
02:39You all right?
02:40That's my shoulder.
02:44It's just a crease, you'll be all right.
02:46See, I'm lucky you boys arrived.
02:50We knew we were supposed to meet a Mexican secret service agent down here, but we had no idea it would be you.
02:56Do you know why we meet?
02:58No, it's something about mining trouble down here.
03:01Si, a tungsten mine in San Pablo.
03:05Tungsten is very important to your country and ours, senors.
03:09It certainly is.
03:11We're getting most of our supply from you people.
03:13Stoney, you'd better get his horse.
03:16We think the trouble is being made by another group of Americans.
03:20That is why we call on you, amigo, my country hesitates to interfere.
03:24It does not wish to make a mistake that would cause trouble between your country and mine.
03:31What is all the trouble down there?
03:33I do not know.
03:35First it was fighting.
03:37Now there's a strange sickness.
03:39And yesterday I received a message from Conroy, the company superintendent.
03:45The mine is closed.
03:47Say, these fellows that tried to kill you, were they Mexicans or Americanos?
03:51I do not know.
03:52But they started following me immediately after I received Conroy's message in San Pablo.
03:57That's about 60 miles south, isn't it?
03:59Si.
04:00And you'd better take care, Pat.
04:02Your only authority will be what you are wearing in your holsters.
04:07Look, just get me on my horse and I'll head for a doctor on the American side.
04:12Hey, wait a minute.
04:13I promise?
04:14Si, I promise.
04:16There.
04:26Adios.
04:27Good luck, amigo.
04:32Adios.
04:42The Balstoni would better head south.
04:46Come on.
04:59Sergeant, we need help.
05:01Two American army men are heading south.
05:03Only two?
05:04They've got to be stopped.
05:05I know that, but these men, these men are federal men.
05:09Gunfighters.
05:10Federal men, huh?
05:11You'll have to get them before they reach San Pablo.
05:13You understand?
05:14You know that I understand.
05:19Marquis, blow the horn.
05:44Let's go.
06:00We've been on that trail for two and a half days.
06:02How far do you think we've come, Pat?
06:04Well, I don't know for sure, but it can't be too far from here to San Pablo.
06:09Say, you know, those fellows that have been in back of us, I wonder if they're trailing us.
06:13Could be.
06:14Say, Pat, why is this tungsten so important?
06:19Well, I'll tell you, Stoney.
06:21Tungsten has one of the highest melting points of any metal known.
06:24They make some of the finest steel in the world out of it.
06:35Say, Stoney.
06:36Yeah?
06:37I think we'd better head for that outcropping right ahead of us.
06:39Yeah, they look kind of bad.
06:44Hey!
06:45Those fellows are following us.
06:50We'll have to hold them up from here.
06:51Come on.
07:02Hey, Stoney.
07:04Come on.
07:14I don't like this situation at all.
07:16Don't worry, little man.
07:18I'll protect you.
07:19Yeah, well, start protecting, because here they come.
07:22Over there they are.
07:23Now we get them.
07:26Stoney, shoot over their heads.
07:28Maybe we can scare them off.
07:29We don't want to get in trouble below the border.
07:33Let's go.
07:44Hey, they're pretty good shots.
07:46We gotta be pretty bad, too.
07:54Come on, get out of here.
07:55It's too hot.
07:56Come on.
08:03Stoney, they're going to come back.
08:05I wish they wouldn't.
08:06It's too darn hot for this kind of nonsense.
08:08Say, Pat, maybe we can give them a ducture
08:10by getting back to those rocks.
08:12Say, that's a good idea, Stoney.
08:13You pick up the horses.
08:14I'll cover our tracks.
08:15All right.
08:28Where the heck did they go this time?
08:33Maybe we turn this way.
08:34Come on, anyway.
08:35Let's go.
08:36Come on.
08:41Looks like we lost them, Stoney.
08:44Yeah.
08:45I'm still unhappy.
08:46Why?
08:48No more water.
08:51Well, we can't do anything about it.
08:53We've just got to move on.
08:54Let's go.
09:03Let's rest.
09:11Still thirsty?
09:13I've been spitting cotton for the last hour,
09:15and you know it.
09:16Me, too.
09:18You know something?
09:19I'm beginning to think that we might be lost.
09:25Hey, look.
09:40Hey, it looks like he was trying to get to that water.
09:42Yeah.
09:43Here.
09:44Here, get him some.
09:45We might be able to save him.
09:55Here, give him some.
09:57He can't use it, Stoney.
09:59Oh.
10:00Well, I sure can.
10:01Wait a minute, Stoney.
10:02What's the idea?
10:03Don't drink that.
10:05This man didn't die from thirst.
10:06He died from sickness.
10:08That water may not be safe.
10:10Oh, thanks for telling me.
10:11You don't mind if I keep the canteen, do you?
10:13No, just don't drink any of it.
10:15I guess you're going to split the cotton for a few more hours.
10:18Save a little water.
10:19Maybe for the horses.
10:21Hey.
10:26What are you doing?
10:28Try it.
10:32Hey, that's as bitter as gall.
10:35It's a chonopar.
10:37I'll point you a thirst.
10:38Here, chew some of it.
10:39Are you sure?
10:40For sure.
10:48Stoney.
10:50Do you hear that?
10:52I can't hear anything.
10:53I'm too thirsty.
10:54You know something?
10:55Old Buckskin can't go much further.
10:57He's worse off than I am.
11:00You won't have to go much further.
11:02Look.
11:05That's got to be San Pablo.
11:10Hey, hold it.
11:11What's the matter?
11:13Look.
11:15Plague.
11:16Beware.
11:17No trespassing.
11:18Peste.
11:19Cuidado.
11:20No pase.
11:21Plague.
11:22Wow.
11:23Hey, when that mining superintendent said he had trouble, he wasn't kidding.
11:27They act like they don't want us in here.
11:29Do you think that I want to go in there?
11:32We were sent down here to straighten up this deal, and that's what we're going to do.
11:36Well, I guess if you go in there, I'm going in with you.
11:39I bet you'd say that, Barnett.
11:59This is it.
12:01Let's go in.
12:05I wonder if a fella could get a drink of water around here.
12:09Let's go.
12:15What do you think you're doing?
12:16Oh, nothing.
12:17I was just putting it back.
12:19All right.
12:20All right.
12:21We're looking for Mr. Conroy.
12:23Oh.
12:24Well, I'm sorry.
12:25My name is Jardine.
12:26I'm Conroy's assistant.
12:28Glad to know you.
12:29We're down from the States.
12:30Mr. Conroy sent for us.
12:32I know.
12:33It's a shame you made such a long trip down here for nothing.
12:35Conroy sent that message before he knew it was happening.
12:39It's no offense to you fellas, but what we need down here is doctors instead of troubleshooters.
12:45Well, I'm sorry.
12:46We don't fit the bill.
12:48Where's Mr. Conroy?
12:50I'm afraid that's no go either.
12:52Conroy's dead of the fever, along with a lot of minors.
12:55If you two fellas were smart, you'd head back for the border.
12:59That may be good advice, but I think we'll hang around for a while.
13:02What kind of fever is this?
13:04A Mexican doctor we have down here says it's a form of malaria.
13:07Right?
13:08Yeah.
13:09The whole town's down with it.
13:12Sorry to hear that.
13:13Well, Stoney, we'd better take care of our horses.
13:15They took a beating coming down.
13:16That's for sure.
13:17See you, Jardine.
13:24That guy's in a pretty tough spot.
13:26Yeah.
13:27A thing like this makes you feel pretty helpless.
13:34I see you had visitors.
13:36Americanos, weren't they?
13:37Yeah.
13:38I thought I told you to stop them before they reached here.
13:40We tried, but they were too tough.
13:43Go men!
13:44You let them out, smudge.
13:47It'll be easy to take care of the lot of them down here.
13:49Well, just be sure you do it quick before they find out Conroy died of a bullet instead of fever.
13:54I'll make sure of it.
13:55Don't worry.
13:57Only three more days of shutdown, you see?
13:59And then the company loses operations contract.
14:02I know.
14:03Just have your men move in fast.
14:05Hey, Pat, those fellas look pretty sick.
14:08They were sick, Stoney, but they're dead now.
14:11I guess they're getting ready to take them out and bury them.
14:15You know, Pat, this is grim.
14:18We're wearing our guns and we know how to use them, but there's something about this town.
14:23I don't know, but I got as much moxie as the next guy.
14:27But this town just...
14:29I'm scared.
14:31You know something, Stoney?
14:32So am I.
14:34These people are in a lot of trouble.
14:36Maybe we can stick around and help.
14:38What do you say?
14:39I'm with you, like I said before.
14:41I don't like it, but I'm with you.
14:43Good boy.
14:47You will put your hands up, señores.
14:50But quick, señores.
14:53Now you will walk down the street ahead of me until I tell you to stop.
15:03Parse ahÃ.
15:07Doctor, I got the Americanos.
15:09Send them in.
15:11Vamos, para adentro.
15:17All right, now that we're here, let's stop all this foolishness.
15:20What's this all about?
15:21Quiero el nombre de usted.
15:23You will excuse me.
15:24You will tell me your names.
15:25My name is Gallagher.
15:26Crockett.
15:27I'm El Dr. Gomez.
15:29You might say I'm in charge around here.
15:30When did you come in San Pablo?
15:32Well, maybe an hour ago.
15:34Then you must have seen the sign we have outside the town.
15:36Yes, we saw the sign.
15:38Then why did you come in here then?
15:39The Apex Mining Company is in trouble, and trouble is our business.
15:42That's why we're here.
15:43Mining business?
15:45You do not seem to understand that this town is in the grip of a deadly epidemic.
15:49No one is allowed on the street.
15:51San Pablo is under a form of martial law.
15:54Should you attempt to leave without my permission, I'll have you shot.
15:58Shot?
15:59What for?
16:00It is my duty to see that the disease does not spread throughout Mexico or across the border.
16:05And I repeat, I'll have you shot if you disobey me.
16:09You have a problem, all right, Doc.
16:11Come on, Stoney.
16:20This is like getting into a crooked poker game.
16:22No matter what you do, you lose.
16:24Stop worrying, Stoney.
16:25We gotta do something.
16:30All right, here they come.
16:32Okay.
17:00Let him go, Stoney.
17:04What'd you stop me for?
17:05Well, there's enough trouble here in town.
17:07I guess they just ain't friendly.
17:09No, those aren't the people who live here in this town.
17:12They must have been those renegades that jumped us out on the trail.
17:18Looks like you've been having a little trouble.
17:20Yeah, a little.
17:22What's the matter, Stoney?
17:24I don't know, Doc.
17:26Looks like you've been having a little trouble.
17:28We've had all kinds of trouble.
17:30Do you know this Dr. Gomez?
17:32Yeah.
17:33He been giving you trouble, too?
17:35Well, he acts like we brought this epidemic with us.
17:37He won't even give us permission to leave town.
17:39Well, that's ridiculous.
17:40Let's go over to his office.
17:41I'll straighten things out for you.
17:43I hope somebody's straightened things out.
17:44Come on.
17:51Dr. Gomez, I'm afraid you've made a mistake.
17:53These men are friends of mine.
17:55Friends of yours?
17:56Yes, American Secret Service men sent down here to help.
17:59Oh, then I've been most ungracious.
18:01I apologize, gentlemen.
18:03But why did you not tell me you were government men?
18:05You didn't ask us.
18:07You had a perfect right, Doctor, to be as rough as you like.
18:09Tell me, how long do you think it'll be
18:11before this epidemic reaches its peak?
18:13Gentlemen, this sickness started very suddenly.
18:16I'm doing everything that I can,
18:18but the epidemic is getting worse.
18:20And now we have just lost the last of our good wills.
18:21We'll have to move the sick somewhere else,
18:23and some Pablo will have to be abandoned.
18:26Hey, Stoney.
18:27Yeah?
18:28That water you left in that canteen.
18:30Get it, will you?
18:31All right.
18:32And bring my saddlebags.
18:33Be right back.
18:34Doctor, cinchona leaves.
18:36Aren't they good for malaria?
18:38It is excellent, of course.
18:40But where could you find enough of it to do us any good?
18:42We've scoured the whole countryside.
18:44I think I've found some not three miles
18:46from here near a little spring.
18:48I'm afraid you're mistaken, senor.
18:49There are many false varieties.
18:51And anyway, cinchona in my country is very rare.
18:54But I tasted it, doctor.
18:56I'm sure this is the real thing.
18:58I'm afraid it's too much to hope for.
19:00I have not seen Mr. Conroy in the last several days.
19:03Have you seen him at all, Mr. Jardine?
19:06Well, I thought Mr. Conroy was dead.
19:08Dead?
19:10Of course I did not know he was dead.
19:12It all happened very suddenly.
19:14Conroy died before I could call you, doctor.
19:16Here it is, doctor.
19:17Here, doctor.
19:19Taste this.
19:23Cinchona!
19:25This is cinchona.
19:27Where did you get it?
19:29On the trail.
19:31This may be help from heaven.
19:33Now to test the water.
19:44Are you sure, Conroy?
19:46Are you sure Conroy died from fever?
19:48Of course.
19:50What else could it be?
19:52I don't know, but...
19:54Pure!
19:56The water is pure!
19:58Where did you find it?
20:00On the north trail, about three miles outside of town.
20:02There's a little hidden spring that comes down out of the mountains.
20:04I will send out a cart at once.
20:06Perhaps you will go along to show the way, eh?
20:08We certainly will, doctor.
20:10Jardine must have slipped out.
20:12How soon before the cart will be ready?
20:13We'll be very happy to go, doctor.
20:15In the meantime, I want to talk to Jardine.
20:17Come on, Stoney.
20:19Gracias.
20:21Well, maybe we're going to be some help after all.
20:24Yeah, we've got to find out more about Conroy's death.
20:26Did you notice Jardine leave while we were talking?
20:28Yeah.
20:40You fool!
20:41You slipped again!
20:43Those Americans found a place to get water just three miles from here.
20:45That's bad.
20:47I didn't know that.
20:49And don't we contaminate all the wells?
20:51No alibis.
20:53Come on, we'll ruin this one too.
20:55Luckily, those fools mentioned the location in front of me.
20:58I think I know where it is.
21:00You do?
21:02Come on, we'll go out the back way.
21:04All right.
21:09Nobody here.
21:12It's gone.
21:14What are you looking for, that little bottle?
21:16Yeah, come on.
21:19Jardine!
21:23Where is he going in such a rush?
21:25I don't know.
21:27See, I wonder if he's going to poison that spring I told him about.
21:29What?
21:41Come on, let's go.
22:11It's over there.
22:13This must be the place.
22:15Come on.
22:41Let's go.
22:57Let's split up.
22:59Yeah.
23:03This is going to be easy, but...
23:11Come on.
23:41Come on.
24:12Come on, you guys.
24:14You have a date with Mexican justice.
24:16Come on, out there.
24:20Well, there it is.
24:22I can now report that the epidemic is over.
24:25Thanks to the Sinchona route,
24:27the pure water.
24:29Cheers.
24:33And thanks to you.
24:35Both of you.
24:37Well, I guess we'll be heading north now.
24:39Amigo.
24:41Friend.
24:43It's nice to hear you call us that down south of the border, doctor.
24:45You have many friends here.
24:47We will not forget it.
24:49Thank you very much.
24:51Goodbye.
24:53Goodbye.
24:56Goodbye, comrades.
24:58Goodbye.
25:05Goodbye.
25:11Goodbye.
25:41THE END
